Day 2

First and foremost I want to send a shout-out to my best friend Jon for talking me through a carvel craving last night. Thank you Jon :-)

Today I was planning on heading over to my friend Laura's house to walk the dogs, but my insomnia kept me up late so I slept in. For most people over the age of 30 that tends to be around 10AM. For me it can range from 11 - 1pm. Not having a job due to being mostly disabled from my back issues I tend to stay up late. Mostly from having no true purpose to get up in the morning and having Tivo. I love my Tivo. I first got Tivo so I could watch Gray's Anatomy and Ugly Betty since I used to sing in the Oratorio Society of New York and they rehearse on Thursday nights. My amazing husband agreed to shell out the bucks so that I never had to miss an episode. When I spoke to my brother about Tivo before getting it he raved about it, said it was like crack. Then he said it was better than crack. Before you all worry about the status of my brothers drug use, I can say with absolute authority that he does not use drugs. Still, I can say he was right, better than crack. Just kidding.

Anyhow, I digress. I was up late watching Happy Feet and then it took awhile to fall asleep. I also find it very difficult to throw back the comforter and turn off the air conditioning when my bed is so comfy. So I read after I woke up for awhile and then finally roused myself when my stomach gurgled it's demand for food. Still eating well after two whole days of staying on weight watchers. I have to say I'm a fan of Fiber One Caramel Clusters in Soy Milk. I know people don't like to talk bowel movements, but I gotta say pain killers can cause problems in that area and fiber is the best way to keep things moving. No movement = no weight loss, after all fat doesn't evaporate however fervently I wish it did.

After breakfast I sat in traffic on my way to Massapequa to pick up my wedding thank you notes from the photographer. Millimeter Photography and Video to be exact and I have to say they are amazing. People at the wedding felt like there were paparazzi, but in a good way. If that's possible. After sitting in the car for an hour and a half (Jones Beach traffic) I got home to see my husband and his nephew working on the house. Thank god, not up on the roof like he planned. Since it was cool, and I hadn't done any exercise, and I definitely plan to drink margaritas and eat Mexican food tonight I had to do something. Out came my fabulously amazing bike. Normally if you have back problems the bike is not good, but mine is a touring bike. I'll have to take a picture and post it because words cannot do it justice. Better than my bike when I was 10. I rode for a half an hour with my iPod and knew that I was in the aerobic zone because I couldn't sing along. I hear that's the key, if you can talk easily your not working hard enough.

Tomorrow I plan to go to the pool. :-)
