Good news first:
1.Carol's research proposal was accepted!
2. Carol's contract was extended for a year!

This past week was a busy one. Thursday morning, early, Carol headed off to Chapel Hill to defend her research proposal. That meant getting up at 4 and being on the road at 5 to get her to her plane by 6. The rest of my day was a bit of a mess due to that. Friday I slept a bit late (prepping for a late evening) and spent the rest of the day doing catch up. I put in two sessions of ellipticalling and burnt over 2000 calories! The second session energized me, allowing me to stay up until 1. Carol's plane came in at 11:40 pm, and we did not get home until 12:30. Long day for her (she did her defense at 10, had lunch with some of her committee members, then took two planes home). Saturday was a relatively easy day, just a little cardio, get groceries, sleep.

This morning I mowed my lawn/weeds. It has been dry the last week and a bit, so it was looking scruffy but not heavy. Taking the rest of the morning easy. Planning Chana masala for supper (yum!).

No weight loss this week. I have been eating properly and working out a lot so I suspect I am building a little muscle. I do see improvements elsewhere, so I am not fussing the lack of movement on the scale.

I met with my practicum supervisor Tuesday. I think it is going to be a great experience, and I am looking forward to this aspect of my masters. Two more semesters to go!!
