What happened to Tuesday?

Two weeks in a row, I have woken up on Wednesday thinking it was Tuesday - Surprise! Where are the days of summer going?

Late Monday we had some guests arrive. My husband's best friend and his fiance. They stayed less then 24 hours, as they off the next morning to Vegas to settle their wedding plans. We look forward to seeing them again this weekend in Vegas. After the wedding, they will again be our guests for a couple of days, before heading back to Russia.

I worked hard over the weekend and Monday cleaning/cooking, getting ready for guests. Tuesday we all slept in a little and had lunch for breakfast (New York Strip steaks and eggs). I had our guests at the car rental place around 2 and by 2:30 they were on their way. I spent the rest of my day lounging, I guess thinking it was Monday. There was no exercising going on Tuesday.

I did do 45-50 minutes of yoga today along with some ab work. Today I practiced along with a Bryan Kest DVD. Last week I did the Level 1 section 4 times. This week I am doing the Level 2 and plan on Level 3 next week. As I mentioned in my last post, I am trying to build back strength and regain flexibility.

Doing poses, especially Sun Salutations with bent knees,along with avoiding back bends seems to be lessening some of the back pain I have been having. Next week I start back to work. I am planning on writing down what I eat in order to keep from over eating. Last year the school fed us breakfast and lunch and I think I gained a few pounds. This year, I am not allowing that to happen! (hopefully)

In order to meet my goal of yoga 4 times, I need to practice tomorrow AND Friday before leaving for Vegas.
