Couldn't play tennis

Today was a little whacky. Usually when we are home and not in Pennsylvania visiting family (which we do about 2x a month since it's only a 1 1/2 hour drive from where I live in Baltimore, Maryland to Hershey PA which is where my husband and I are orginally from) we go to the gym Fri-Sun but because of my nephew's tournament down here in Baltimore it was my family's turn to do the traveling and we didn't get to the gym. However, my husband and I did manage to work in the good 'ol treadmill. It was sooo hot just sitting and baking in the sun. I can't imagine how those boys must have felt running, in gear, game after game. They played 6 games in 2 days. They were undeated 5-0 but unfortunately lost in the championship round. But still was very proud of them. I hate the summer and lovvve the winter. I would give anything to shovel snow than to deal with this hot sticky humidity. My dad is from New Hampshire so I guess I got cold blood. Got home about 4:30 and just chilled in the air conditioning but then at 7:00 I felt guilty that I didn't get my exercise in but didn't feel like getting on the treadmill so I suggested we go to the tennis court that is right by our house. It's 2 fenced in courts, free to the public. It's nice and convenient. We saw 2 guys playing but then there was another guy just standing by the other court. I asked if he was waiting for someone and he said yes, but kinda snippy which disappointed me as well as irritated me. I told my husband we would wait in the car for about 15 min and if his friend doesn't show, we going back. But about 5 min left his friend showed. I just started really getting into exercising and for me I gotta strike while the mood is hot. I resolved to the idea that I would just have to get on the treadmill when we got back home since I was already dressed for a workout. Burned 345 cals and my pedometer read 9,320 steps for the day. Not bad.

Had a Italian cold cut sub for dinner and then I did end up baking 2 of those p.b. cookies, but at least I waited to when I truly was hungry. I've had that pack of cookies in the fridge for about 2 weeks now, when in the past it wouldn't have made it more than 3 days.

Till next time...
