My sleep schedule is STILL messed up from my 2 weeks off from work. I woke up at 7:45 am instead of 6:00 am, and only had time to do a 30 minute Yourself Fitness Flexibility session (which I shall count as today’s yoga) before work. We have a cold front moving through the area this week as well, so I am going to swap my original Thursday and Saturday workout plans and do an hour of Forza tonight when I get home from work and bump the rollerblading and running to Saturday.

Yesterday’s TT workout (the “original TT workout” from the main TT for Fat Loss manual) went pretty well considering that I’d taken so much time off from lifting (2 weeks). I only had to drop my DB chest press and DB reverse lunges by 5 pounds to 35 pounds per dumbbell, and my standing single DB shoulder press stayed the same at 25 lbs. The DB Romanian deadlifts are tweaking my lower back a bit this morning, though; another reason I opted to move high-impact running to Saturday.

I wasn’t letter-perfect on food last night, unfortunately. It’s funny. My problem many times isn’t with sticking to clean foods. It’s the fact that I want too MUCH of them, as was the case last night with the big vat o’ cashews and the sack o’ tropical trail mix! I just need to make the pantry off-limits after 7 pm. There’s nothing I actually NEED from the pantry for my 6th meal of the day–all of the items are in the fridge (egg white omelette) or freezer (protein pops)–so I will just keep the door shut, eat my planned 6th meal, and then take myself off to bed with a dreadfully boring book like my husband’s D&D 3.5 edition Monster Manual so I can actually fall asleep sometime before 1 am (and wake up before 7:30 am tomorrow).

PROJECT WONDER WOMAN JANUARY
===========================
1) Breaking Bad Habits (Failure to be Punctual):

Current Status:
- # of Days Without Running Late = 1/31
- Still running behind due to food prep time in the mornings and late wake ups.

To Do:
- Set up my meals in Tupperware tonight before going to bed, boil up a big batch of eggs for breakfasts, and be in bed by 11 pm with a snoozer of a book tonight in order to improve my chances of being on time for everything tomorrow.
- Measure out and pack more oatmeal and raisin packets
- Establish 6:00 AM wakeup and have workouts completed by 8:00 AM daily.

2) Personal Style/Sewing:

Current Status:
- Finally finished red and black knit Issey Miyake dress (V2556)
- 1 project cut out, 3 projects started but not complete

To Do:
- Need to make a list of the events I am likely to attend and the things I do in everyday life to determine what wardrobe deficiencies I have
- Draw up with a wardrobe plan with notes, fabric swatches, and pattern sketches
- Cull the ill-fitting, unflattering, outmoded, and generally horrifying pieces from my closet and decide if I will donate, trade, or refashion them
- Sew the first two items on my list: a refashioned A-line knit skirt made from a “Chinese Peaches” Threadless t-shirt and a cute sun dress made from another Threadless tee (”Happy Harvest“), some brown paisley fabric, and a bit of orange broadcloth

3) Fitness

Current Status:
- Just doing a food and exercise maintenance/ramp up week this week before starting TT 12-week contest on Monday.

To Do:
- I skimmed through the requirements for each of the badges I have picked out from the You Can Do It book last night and have decided to modify the Fitness requirements a bit since I am already doing everything required to earn the badge according to the book. I am changing MY fitness badge requirements to the following:

(1) Complete a 12-Week TT Transformation contest entry with photos, workout logs, and stats posted at the TTmembers.com site.
(2) Take swim lessons from my husband, Mr. Former Swim Team Captain and Swim Coach, 3 times per week for the entire month of July

- Take measurements and photos on Sunday for the TT contest
- Clean out and repack gym bag
