Graduation!

216.8 (down a little bit more...)

FRIDAY

TGIF! I'm totally psyched about today. It started wonderfully at 5:00 am (believe it or not). Today was our last day of boot camp - for this session. We had our "post-test" and I totally improved a lot. Here's the stats:

Pre Test (May 9)
Push ups in 1 min: 0 regular, 18 facilitated (on knees)
Sit ups in 1 min: 25
Dips in 1 min: 19 regular (legs straight), 20 facilitated (legs bent)
1 mile run: 9:09 minutes

Post Test (Today)
Push ups in 1 min: 7 regular, 28 facilitated
Sit ups in 1 min: 32
Dips in 1 min: 20 regular, 30 facilitated
1 mile run: 8:34 minutes!

So, I shaved 35 seconds off my mile run, and added a whole bunch of strength. I'm lovin it! Especially since I haven't seen massive movement in the scale, which I know is due to my lack of commitment to the food plan. I'm hoping next month will be better on that front.

So now, we have our graduate party tonight. Our instructors are buying us each a drink (because supposedly we haven't drank all month. I doubt many stuck to it that religiously, though it would have been nice, I'm sure.)

But - before that I have a crazy day planned. I had made plans a month ago to see the Sex and the City premier with Holly and a couple other friends. She bought the tickets and we're going at the 10:45 showing tonight. Before that is the graduation party at 7:00 where I'll allow myself 2 drinks, since I'm driving to the movie.

Then earlier this week, I got an email from a young partner at my firm that she is organizing a "girls day out" with our female summer associates to go to the Sex and the City premier at 3:30 today. She wanted as many women attorneys as could to go and bond with our summers. So I asked Holly if she'd be totally pissed if I saw it early and then again with them. She completely understood. So I'm leaving work today at 3:00 to go see the movie. Then home to get ready for the party, then off to see it again. Crazy. but so fun.

I'm looking forward to this weekend. I think it'll be good for Erik & I. We've had a crazy month or so, and really haven't connected just the two of us much. Last weekend was Michigan trip, the weekend before that he had daniel, the weekend before that my mom was in town and the weekend before that I was in Panama City for bike-week. So this is our first weekend, just the two of us, in a long time. We need it. All is good, and I totally love this man, but I feel like we've not connected emotionally or physically very well in a while. I need me some Erik time.

So, our plans for the weekend - he's going with me to the graduation party, but not the movie (he doesn't get the SATC fascination). Tomorrow we're getting up early for a bonus workout for my boot camp (a recruiting measure b/w sessions). Then we're going to pick out tuxes and wedding bands. In the afternoon we're going to a high school graduation party for the son of a good friend of his. Then we might find somewhere to play poker together tomorrow night.

Sunday is church and working on the house. And probably work for me, since I have not accomplished much this week and have a project due Monday.

We have some plans, but I think it'll still be relaxing. Nice to be with just him and me.

Then Monday starts Boot Camp - Month 2. Another "pre-test" I'm sure, then off and running trying to improve even more. I'm excited!
