Etc.

Okay, lots to tell. Met with Amy from dresscode. She's planning to wait until we're near the very end of the EM, and then have us come in and have fun trying on different styles. She told Cherish she'll take us out of our "comfort zones".
Interviewed with Bethany Bray from the Townman for the EM, who was doing a little follow up article on how things are going. She'll be at the Reveal 12/7.
Training as best I can for the Feaster Five. This weekend I did the route, walking the first half, running the second. It's a nice route, with a couple good hills. My shins were on fire at the end! Another reporter interviewed me and some high school boys at the starting line. That article and a photo of me and the boys will also be in the Townsman. Their "angle" was having the young athletes speak to the mom/Feaster Five rookie about what to expect.
Visiting my aesthetician friend Nicole on Wednesday for a facial at Indra. I love the sensitive skin Aveda lotion and cleanser she gave me last visit.
This week continues high weights, low reps. It's the type of exercise that makes you feel like you're a wimp in spite of the fact that you know you're stronger, because you're constantly working to the max. If you can do 10 reps, the weights go up! Tonight was all upper extremity---chest and arms. Definitely where I need more strength. Tomorrow is lower extremity and abs. That's the workout that really makes me sweat!
Happy Birthday to trainer Brian this Friday!!! What a guy...he'll be spending his 23rd birthday night training yours truly. Happy Birthday also to my cousin Jason!
Thanks to Cherish for letting me borrow the double jogger stroller today....what a workout pushing a stroller can be when your boys total 65 pounds!
I just love, love, love my teeth---veneers ROCK!
So happy that Aunt Mimi had a great outcome after her surgery last week---we love you!
