image

My photography skills leave something to be desired.

image

My lunchbox these days, filled to max.

image

I had a suprise on my desk this morning!!!! Groot!!!! This little guy is so cute and i always played with my co-workers so she bought me one!!!!!! Probably because i threatened to steal hers…………….
Thanks Christina!!!!!!!!

image

This is part of tomorrow lunch but i just wanted a little taste test………..you ready? This is coleslaw mix from the grocery store and……top ramen!!! With some green onions sprinkles on top. Not too shabby.

And last but not least

image

I started a little lettuce garden. I’m not sure i filled the pot enough though. Guess we will find out.
How was your Wednesday?
Are you doing any gardening this year?

Monday Night video and Tuesday tangents

So Monday night i filmed a little video. Here’s the youtube link:

Most of my other news is about food hahaha.

Coffee as always

image

I’m going back and forth between getting coffee and buying those Starbucks bottles in the store. I am also trying to stretch them out over 2 days to reduce my caffine intake (preworkout has caffine in it) and to save myself some money.

This week’s lunches are good old fashion PB&J on Dave’s Killer bread

image

Except that as an adult that is so not enough so i defrosted some risotto i made awhile ago to have with it.

image

I had leftover cream cheese from having bagels for lunch last week so i am combining it with something healthy

image

This is surprisingly delicious.

And lastly i cuddled up at work with my coworkers heating blanket because i was chilly today.

image

How was your Tuesday?

WHAT ARE YOUR WORKOUT PLANS THIS WEEK?

Weekend Wrap up

The rain managed to actually stay away most of the weekend which was lovely.  It hit Saturday night and late today afternoon/evening.

Last night poor Artemis didnt feel too good. Her tummy was making all kinds of crazy sounds and she wasn’t hungry. She got better though thankfully and when i woke up her food was eaten and she has gotten better and better today.

image

image

My guess is she either ate something she shouldn’t have or just had a little upset tummy. Either way it just needed to work its way out of her system which it did today.

The roomies and i FINALLY took our tree down…….yes i mean Christmas tree lol. It only took us until March..not too bad right? Lol

On another but way worse roomie note, my roommates care got stolen out of our driveway last night?! I feel so bad for her. I am so thankful my car has an alarm and GPS so the cops can track it if anything ever happens. Knock on wood.

Other sad news i own almost 5k in medical bills from my surgery in October. Insurance denied my paying more because it was an out of network provider. Oy, this being an adult stuff rocks. Thankfully i can set up a payment plan.

In happier news…..
The tomato and pepper starters are exploding!!!

image

I am so excited!

Also i ran 4 miles today!!! And the 4 miles we outside!!!!

image

image

Artemis ran the first 1.5 miles with me then she got tired so i dropped her off at home. Shes getting over  her tummy troubles so i didn’t want to push it. 

So i workout a pretty good amount. These are the things that help keep me going. Along with pre-workout, protien and recovery but ill talk about that another day.

image

I also did a lot of reading this weekend which was glorius.

image

Do you take any suppliments?

What’s the weather like where you are?

If you have dogs, do they run with you?

A relaxed Saturday

I got up and went to spin this morning, yay me.

image

image

Enjoyed my recovery when i came back

image

Made an awesome Brie, pear and sage grilled cheese on whole grain sourdough

image

The rest of the day was spent watching tv and movies and reading

image

Everyone has to search through their 3 bags of books from Barnes and Noble to find the book they are looking for right?

Overall it was a pretty relaxing day.

TGIF

Happy Friday!!! Like so many Americans i live for the weekends.
Today will be a short and sweet post.

Got up and took Artemis for a walk/jog before work. I think thats a really good time to walk her because there are less people out and about. I think as it continues to warm up we will be good running buddies.

image

I thought that was a good quote.

image

Reached my step goal! Woot Woot!

image

The tomatoes and peppers are doing awesome!!!!

image

I am so grateful for my sweet girl. She has cuddled with me many a night that i have cried or just needed some cuddles during this breakup and all the drama with it. I am sad again tonight and having her here is a great comfort.

Goodnight i hope you had a great Friday night!

Stitch Fix!!!!

Tomorrow is Friday!!!! Yay!!!!

I got my butt up and went to spin this morning

image

I was good and had fruit for breakfast

image

Now for the fun stuff……i got my first Stitch Fix box!!!!!
So in it were a pair of jeans that actually fit perfectly (i can barely do that in the store how did they manage it?) but i just bought myself 2 new pairs of jeans so i can’t justify keeping them.
2nd was this necklace

image

Which i like but would probably never wear (though i will to work tomorrow lol)
3rd was this top

image

I like the lace detailing on the sleeves but it does nothing for me so it will be going back.
4th was this top

image

Which does NOTHING for me
and 5th is this top

image

I actually really like this top but don’t know if it does anything for me. I am going to wear it tomorrow with the necklace, jeans and boots and see how i feel. This is the only thing i would consider keeping from this box.
I would love your opinion please?
Do you like this top on me?
Yes please be honest.

My desk

Hi!!!!!!!!! I thought today i would show you want my desk looks like, or more accurately the parts of my desk that are about me about very little about work hahaha.

Breakfast today-Fresh-Cut-Fruit-Thumbnail

I devoured my fruit today then went on to a salad
