Ice, Ice, Baby and other randomness

I wanted something sweet to eat after dinner and freezer burnt Skinny Cow popsicles weren't going to cut it. So that left me with one lone choice - Jello. I never understand one thing about it though. That's the speed set method. Okay, so it says to use 3/4 cup of boiling water and 1/2 cup cold water. Got that part. Then it says to add enough ice to make 1.25 cups. Now what does that mean? I took it to mean fill up the measuring cup with .75 cups of ice but if that's the case, they should just write that and if not, I guess I'm having some watery Jello.

I lifted weights at lunch and now I don't know if I want to go to the gym again or do nothing. Sometimes I feel like I should save my do nothing days for days when I'm really tired or have other plans or a hangover or something. So it's either stay home, run 4.5 miles or do the elliptical. The last of which really accomplishes nothing but then I feel like I can say that I went to the gym. In any event, this is what I did at lunch:

• 5 minute warm up on bike.
• Deadlift - 2 sets; 12 reps first set at the weight of the bar (which I think is 45 pounds) plus 10 extra pounds, second set the weight of the bar plus 15 extra pounds - this time I did them straight legged and still feel like my form is off. I think I really need to have someone show me how to do this properly.
• Dumbell shoulder press - 2 sets; 12 reps.; 12 pound weight in each hand.
• Lat Pulldowns - 2 sets; 12 reps; 67.5 pounds. Woo - I used to do this at 45.
• Lunges on alternating legs - 2 sets; 12 reps per leg - 10 pound weight in each hand.
• Cruches - 2 sets; first set was 50 regular crunches, second set was 30 reverse crunches.

I've been cooking more lately. Which is great in all respects but one. I am constantly emptying the dishwasher and cleaning the kitchen. Everytime I turn around, there is a mess of dishes in the sink. I cook for one, sometimes two people, I can't imagine what it'd be like to cook for a family. Of course, then I'd make the kids do the dishes.

I also discovered at about 2 in the afternoon that I'd been wearing my underwear inside out all day. My lacy thong. Who does that? Not only was it inside out and I didn't notice in the several bathroom trips that I made in the morning, but I changed into and back out of my gym clothes and still didn't notice!
