Today I…

*Finally set up the training sessions, and will see everyone at the park on Saturday! And then hopefully Tuesday…

*Did my ab exercises

Today I…
*Coached a birthday party at my fencing club and earned a big tip!
*Was able to pick up more coaching hours for next week and later in the summer
*Halfway cleaned my room. The other half is out of the way at least.
*Ate healthily & jumped rope in an attempt to cancel out yesterday’s chocolate chip bacon cookies. They were TOTALLY worth it, though.
*Fenced decently, and saw my “long-lost” friend C again! Glad to have her back.
*Felt considerably better after continuing my journal entry from yesterday. Still in the process of figuring stuff out, but I’m making progress.

Pardon my tardiness on this entry…

Today I…
*Planned to get a lot done
*But instead my best friend wanted to hang out, so we made bacon chocolate chip cookies (yes, you did read that right) and watched a bunch of episodes of Better Off Ted.
*Did my ab exercises for the seventh day in a row
*Did a sudoku or two
Played my trumpet for a bit
*Did a whole lot of soul-searching. Working through a big…thing. More about it later, perhaps.

Still in the works:
*TYs
*Schedule the training sessions!

Today I…
*Fought a major case of the blahs. Hopefully will feel better tomorrow after a hot shower, some Tylenol, and a good night’s sleep.
*Successfully limited myself to a small amount of chocolate to help with the above
*Bought new tennis shoes. Yay for $10 off coupons!
*Did my ab exercises for the 6th day in a row, and added a minute-long plank
*Did my leg muscle evenness exercises [fencers are prone to having different-sized muscles on each leg, which can cause icky musculoskeletal issues like scoliosis]
*Finished one sudoku puzzle; erased the ones where I’d messed up. Forty-five to go.

Still in the works:
*TYs
*Sudoku
*Trumpet
*Cardio
*Schedule training with Jess. Invite the guys?

Today I…
*Finished my weekend chores
*Fenced really well at practice today—noticeable improvement on a couple of actions, and I almost beat J, which is incredible; he’s one of the best fencers in the state
*Found and used the jump rope: cardio I like :)
*Emailed Jess with conditioning drills
*Watched roller derby! I thought it was really cool, but my dad and brother got tired of it so we left at halftime.
*Went heavy on the carbs and light on the veggies. Will do better tomorrow.
*Did my ab exercises for the fifth day in a row!

Still in the works:
*TYs (will definitely do them tomorrow so they won’t be scandalously late)
*Sudoku
*More cardio

I can’t believe it’s June already! Looking forward to days at the pool and summer thunderstorms…just not at the same time.

Today I…
*Went to the last doctor’s appointment this week
*Played my trumpet
*Went to the pool with friends and had a blast

Finishing this sudoku book—and buying a new one, as I didn’t meet my “personal challenge”
Deciding whether I need fewer clothes or a bigger dresser (I’ve had this one since I was five)...probably both…
Set up June training sessions with friends from fencing club
