What up, Thursday?

Thanks ladies for the tips about exercise. I am so all about getting exercise done at work! But, question, do you all shower after or just wait until you get home? Maybe that question is too personal? I think right now would be the perfect time, but once June hits it will be impossible to walk outside at lunch here -- even in the shade it will be over 95 degrees, with highs of 100-110 occasionally through September. I guess now is the time to get out there and get in the habit and then figure out what to do during the summer later!

About the pedometer - does anyone have a brand/model recommendation? I'd love to wear something that is super-slimline and doesn't create a big bulk on my hip, ya know? I rarely buy things without a personal recommendation, so please let me know what ones you all are using and whether you like them!

Plan for today (bfast is done)
  • Bfast: peanut butter pretzel bar and a tropical XS
  • Lunch: pre-made Cobb salad from grocery store
  • Snack: peanut butter pretzel bar at work then celery & bell pepper with NF ranch dip at home.
  • Dinner: Salad and 1/2 a Stouffer's chicken/veg/penne skillet

ask Nicole, she has a link to a good one. depends on the workout, if I walk at work then I shower when I get home, whenever I work out at gym I shower right after cause I am way sweaty. I know lots of works who do a quick clean up, go back to work, and then shower later, if that helps...

Ellen,
you can check the archive (on the right) for the postings about pedometers from a couple weeks ago. There's some links in there somewhere.
