More than half way through!!!!!! And tomorrow we are having strawberry shortcake at work which I am super stoked for.
My calendar had this wisdom today
Then I went and ate pizza for lunch, the second time in less than 7 days so I wrote myself a little reminder
To much pizza does not make me feel good.
After work I hit the gym for a swim……it had been at least 3 weeks since I swam! I struggled for every meter, really need to build that stamina back up
I was slow as rocks in a a stream. But I got out there and did it and that is all that matters.
Good morning!!!!
Yesterday was Monday Motivation but let’s tell you how the day went.
Good start to the day, I had my vega protein and greens shake and added bolthouse farms smoothie stuff too it so it was like chocolate cherry. 2nd breakfast was honey bunches of oats and almond milk.
I was still pretty good. I had a salad and left over Mac and cheese for lunch
But then the sugar craving hit
I can’t wait until I have my own place and my own clean kitchen so I can make some healthy treats. I am a sugar fiend and don’t anticipate that changing.
Came home and got it a quick run
Yay for bright colors so I don’t get run over!
Started the first sookie Stackhouse book (aka trueblood) it was on sale on Audible.
I was too hungry to wait for dinner so I ate in courses as it was ready hahahahahaha
Salad.
Gordens beer battered fish fillets bit I was too excited to take a picture before I ate
And yay!!!! It’s corn time again!
She is so freaking cute I can’t stand it!!!!
My heart feels like it is going to burst sometimes when I see her. I love this little girl more than words can say. I am so thankful to have her.
This picture really hits home for me right now. I’ve been taking more days off than normal lately. I’m feeling a bit burned out. I think after my half marathon this weekend I might take a full week off then really buckle back down.
After that it’s the triathlon in September and the marathon in October then I’m taking at least 2-3 weeks off.
I finished the Terri Blackstone book and The lady of the rivers, I had about 1/3 of each of those books left
I started outlander book 1 and am half way through it and I watched the first 2 episodes of the TV show on Amazon.com so far it follows the book quite closely.
I have literally been reading all day. From about 8-8:30am I went to the grocery store but the rest of the day was spent on the couch with my nose in a book or watching an Episode of a book I was ready. I would guess I’ve read about 500 pages today and watched 3 hours of TV shoes. Now it’s time to pass out. Good night.
Today was spent at work, eating and nursing my sunburn
I met a childhood friend who was in town for dinner with her boyfriend.
She and I have been friends since we were 2 or 3 years old. She’s basically like a cousin at this point, she is an honorary member of the family.
I started my day off with a run, it was hot even at 9:15am!!!
We took some shade breaks
I put a wet washcloth on her to help cool her down
I got back and ate a quick lunch then off to kayak with Carra for an hour and a half
Then it was home and rinse off then shove food in my mouth because I had the genius idea to say yes I will go on a hike this afternoon in 100 degree heat. OY.
It was a tough hike by normal standards them add in the what and my 2 previous workouts and lack of fuel and I bonked and I bonked hard (bonking is hitting the wall, like your body runs out of fuel and shuts down).
Luckily I had a big rain poncho, those plastic ones you get at the dollar store or Walmart and laid that out to lay on.
Got Artemis out of the sun and fed a bottle and a half of water
I had some beautiful views.
I saw this lean-to someone made
After they picked me back up and we made it to the car we stopped and got food, sat on the shade on a patio with the dogs and gorged ourselves……..actually I’m kind of getting hungry again.
I burned almost 1500 calories today working out, that doesn’t include the calories it takes just for my body to work every day. OK well I’m exhausted and it’s sleep time. Artemis is always passed out. Thank goodness it’s supposed to cool back down!!
