While nannying, the kids and I decided it would be a great day to see the new Harry Potter movie.  Although I went to the midnight showing, I have serious issues with falling asleep during just about any movie I watch if it is turned on after 9pm.  It’s ok, my mom, sister, and me are all like this…what a fun crowd to take to the movies!! 😉

So, I really didn’t remember much of the movie at all and thoroughly enjoyed watching it again today.  I didn’t read all of the books, but I found it very easy to follow and engaging all the same.

Workout

After nannying I had to teach Core Intensity today.  I got to the gym a little bit early so I hopped on the elliptical for 25 minutes.  I know that earlier I said I was planning on running tonight right before dark, but that is just crazy for me.  I am not a night time runner/worker outer, I still had a linger of a headache, I was starving and knew that I wouldn’t want a meal weighing me down during a run….so basically all of the signs were pointing to another mode of cardio and putting off my 4 miles until tomorrow morning.
