Opened Up Email and Patterns on Sale for $4.75 Each

What a surprise when I got to work and saw that Butterick, Vogue and McCall's were having another sale on patterns! $4.75, this time instead of $5.75. WhooHoo! Of course, I bought some more patterns because at these prices, it's worth it to have them at the ready. These patterns range from $15-$33 each! Unbelievable!

Nothing exciting on the exercise/food front; still plugging along making sure I don't ever turn into a blimp! Yesterday was a light exercise day for me because I ran the 5K on Sunday. I was on the elliptical for about 10 minutes and the remaining time (about 20 minutes) was core work, etc. Not many calories burned, but I did need to get the strength training in. Today I am planning on TM work (with the hopes my leg doesn't give out on me) and see if I can ramp up my speed. I'm working on being able to run at a faster pace for a longer period of time than I do now. Gotta keep pushing or it will never happen. Suck it up and go for it, I say. Of course, I could be in the hospital by the time I'm finished.

AI night tonight. Haven't been truly impressed with the singers, and I was truly amazed with Lilly was not one of the top 12 and the teenaged-Katie was put in. I could see from Lilly's face that she was really shocked; I think she thought she was a shoe-in, which goes to say that one can never be sure of anything.

P.S. My gym training had to be modified. After I walked for 5 minutes on the TM, I pushed up the speed and started to run. Not happening! The mucle in my leg was still not cooperating with me. I switched to the elliptical; put it on hill/interval, level 5, for 35 minutes. I really was able to push myself and worry about the impact on my leg as I do with running! 250 calories burned; I used to burn more, but age is ever creeping up on me. More the reason to keep my weight and fat content down!
