Lighten up

Tonight I went to boot camp, though my back isn't 100% yet. I told the instructor at the start of class, and it seemed like she did a very easy class today. I've been using 5 and 7.5 pound weights, this week I lightened it up to 2.5 and 5 pounds. I realized tonight how foolish it was to do the heavier weights last week after missing 2 weeks of class. Not sure how I feel about class tonight - it's hard for me to tell if it "worked" or not. For some reason I equate a good workout with lots of pain/aching, so since I'm not totally wiped out I feel like it wasn't a good workout. That's probably a mentality I need to switch out of.

The rest of the week is going to be a pretty crazy schedule. My company is exhibiting at a show at McCormick place Wednesday & Thursday. Set up starts tomorrow, and from what I hear, McCormick is a huge pain in the butt to bring your booth material to, so I don't know how long it will take us to get our stuff in and out of there. I'm going to try really hard to get to the gym in the morning, because I have a feeling that by the end of the day I'm not going to want to go to the gym.

Yesterday I unpacked most of my fall/winter stuff, but found myself throwing a lot of it into the "eBay" or "donate" pile - and not really because the clothes were or were not fitting. I've been holding onto a lot of stuff from sophomore year of college, and it's just not my taste anymore. I remember that during soph year of college, I purged my high school clothes for the same reason. Seems my taste goes through a change every 4 years or so!

Almost forgot I want to rave about a tea I've discovered - actually, my boyfriend discovered it first and then I went and bought some : ) I'm not a big hot tea drinker, and definitely not a big green tea drinker. But this Lipton cranberry-pomegranate green tea is SOOOO GOOD! I don't add sugar to it or anything.
