365: 16, and a word count

This is actually from yesterday, about to go run errands with Matt:

Stats:
Weight - 176ish
Mood - good

I was pretty happy at the time because I could fit into another button down that I haven't been able to wear for quite a while, and my jeans are starting to feel a little roomy. Yesterday was a pretty good day.

I don't have a picture for today, because this has not been a good day, and taking my picture is the last thing I feel like doing. Allergies are making me miserable despite taking a double dose of Claritin, and I'm scrambling to get stuff done in time to get in a workout before tonight's Bible class. And the day started out with having an unpleasant go-round with the clinic where I was trying to get my birth control prescription renewed, which was doubly upsetting because I don't even want to renew the gorram prescription, but Matt's afraid that I'll be wrong about my body needing six months or more to adjust enough to get pregnant, and he wants more time to build up his business so I won't have to work so hard, and all of this is fodder for a whole 'nother post. Suffice to say that this morning was filled with tears and frustration.

On a happier note, I did get some writing done today -- 504 words. Yesterday I just wrote a couple of hand-written pages of background for my antagonist, but I'm pretty sure it amounted to more than 250 words, and that still counts toward the challenge. So, go Team Me on the writing front.

365: 15 and 250: 3

It's actually day 17 (or is it 18?) since I started the 365 project, but I think it's probably more important to count pictures than days. That's how I'm going to do it, at any rate, so I won't need to feel so bad about missing the days when I'm feeling significantly less than photogenic.

Today it finally stopped raining long enough for me to go workout, so here's what's becoming my usual "right before the workout" pic. If I looked a little dazed it's because I'd just finished writing a scene and the story was still continuing in my head.

I almost didn't work out today, just because it's been long enough -- a solid week, thanks to all the rain we've been having -- for the habit to die and, well, I just didn't feel like it. But I knew I'd feel better if I went for a walk, and I was right. No jogging, because like I said, 7 days, so I need to work back up to that. The thing that finally got me off my butt was the same thing that's been getting me off my butt for the last month or so: my Project Oven Repair mantra, "Just do it for the babies."

If Accuweather is actually right for once, then the rain is mostly gone for now and I shouldn't have any outside interference with getting back to my regular routine. Here's hoping.

Oh, and see that word count up there, for day 3 of the 250 Words a Day Challenge? All I have to say about that is: Boo-yah.
