Hurricane Sandy, Finger Puppets and Jillian Michaels

Hurricane Sandy entered our area beginning on Monday this week.  This was forecasted to be a "mega-storm" and was quite destructive in DC and north of there due to lots of wind and rain.  Here we got a fair amount of rain on Monday, some wind Monday afternoon and evening, and two days off of school because of what was forecasted to be and never quite materialized.

So, on Monday the girls occupied themselves by making finger puppets (among other things).

I was thrilled to receive this in the mail today:

Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution
I've been wanting this 90-day workout series since it came out earlier this year, but the $120 price tag was a bit prohibitive.  At school I recently completed 30 days each of tracking my eating (which I do all the time anyway), my exercise (at least 2.5 hours per week), and my sleep (at least 50 hours per week).  We have a wellness program that aims to promote good health by providing some incentives for employees to adopt healthy habits.  By tracking these three health items, I earned $150 in wellness money to spend on anything health related.  Thus, my Jillian Michaels purchase.  I also had $40 in wellness money leftover from last year, so I went to the Runners Corner and purchased a good quality pair of running pants that will keep me warm when running on cold fall and winter mornings.  I'm excited about both purchases and looking forward to beginning the Body Revolution program.
