The we drove around the island looking for a snorkel spot. We never found one. The surf was high and there were jellyfish and craimage

zy currents and broken sewage pumps

Dinner was a local brewery that ended up being mostly appetizers. With frivolity insuing.

Hawaii day 2

Day 2 in Hawaii started off with a 2 mile run.

Then off to the dole pineapple plantation.
image

image
image

image
It took us an hour to get through this crazy maze. And after that something cold was necessary.
image

Pineapple whip, it was pretty delicious.

Next we went to the North Shore and walked around.
image
image

Then we hit some cute little shops and of course i got coffee! Lol
image

image

The day ended with some delicious fresh pineapple on my pizza
image

And a twilight walk on the beach where we attempted to see turtles but they weren’t there.

Traveling Tuesday!!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!!

I was up before the sun on my way to the airport to fly to Hawaii!!!

It is a 5 hour flight…….i haven’t been on a flight that long in many years. I got bored and restless about halfway through. My garmin told me to move twice while on the flight lol.

image

Honolulu!!!!

image

The view from our condo!!!! No lie its pretty freaking amazing

image

image

And I’m here for free!!!! Does life get better? Lol
We hit the pool for a bit and i did some laps

image

image

image

image

So beautiful!!

image

image

We went down to the water for the sunset then walked to a sports bar that had Tuesday taco night.

image

I peeled the breading off my 2nd taco.

Not too shabby for a day of travel, but now i am wiped out. Goodnight all!!!

Weekend Wrap-up

Not too much going on this weekend.

Did spin class Saturday morning

image

Hit target for some travel sized supplies.

Took Artemis to the dog park.

image

Tried Hormel vegetarian chili for the first time….not as good as Nally’s in my opinion.

Had some serious anxiety about dropping Artemis off at my roommates parents house for my trip.

image

I am slowly relaxing but will constantly have it in the back of my head until i pick her back up.

Now it’s time for bed, i got sucked into Grease Live and stayed up later than i would have like.

How was your weekend?

Any advice for relaxing when leaving dogs/kids with other people forba vacation or whatever weekend?

What is the opposite of thirsty thursday?

I almost didn’t get up for spin class. I already wanted to go back to sleep then Artemis cuddled up to me and i soooo wanted to skip spin but then i thought about having to tell my trainer i didn’t go and that ill be gone next week so yea….

image

I got my butt up and went……and wanted to die.  Spin class instructors are sadistic. But they get me to push above and beyond so yea.

image

Take a moment to enjoy and experience this. ……a completely empty locker room at the gym. For like a FULL MINUTE. This is unheard of at my gym.

Exhaustion does not cover what i feel. 4 workouts in 48 hours. I am so taking tomorrow off workouts. I am still going to bed early even though i get to ‘sleep in’ tomorrow.

image

They have these for dogs!!!! 3 flavors where on sale at target so i got 1 of each for Artemis to try. Tonight with her kibble she had pumpkin and oat puree. She enjoyed it.

Another thing we must acknowledge

image

It was not fully dark when i left work tonight!!!!!!!! The light is coming back!!! I am sooo stoked!

How was your Thursday?

Are you as exhausted as i am?

My bed feels like heaven.

Goonight.

Book Review**Jason

Howdy!!!

image

This is book #23 in the Anita Blake series, this is a world where vampires are legal citizens and Anita Blake raises zombies to clear up questions about their wills then puts them back to rest.

I would say its TrueBlood mixed with Bitten mixed with 50 shades of Grey.

Though it doesn’t get too kinky until book 4 or 5. And it was around before any of those series.

I really enjoy this series for a fun read. Definitely don’t start with this book though, its almost all sex and no story line. Start from the begining and get to know the charaters and the world they live in.

TGIF!!!

Wow when did 9:30 on a Friday night become late to me? Hahahaha! I don’t know whether to be ashamed or proud.

image

Today’s hydration; water, tea and coffee.

First lunch was leftover pot roast i found in the freezer that i had made a few months ago over some rice. Second lunch was yakisoba!!! Apperently I’m a bit obssessed.

image

Reading material before bed

image

And now its bedtime!!! Spin class in the AM and i have convinced my roommate to go with me……bwahahaahaah!!!!!  (evil laughter)

Do you drag people to your workouts?

What is your go to treat meal lately?

Any fun weekend plans?

Mid-week exhaustion

This is going to be a short post because i am exhausted and want to pass out.

I did 3 workouts in a 24 hour period and with spinning tomorrow it will be 4 in 48 hours so sleep is vital.

I felt the exhaustion in the pool this morning. I didn’t have my normal stamina and got out of breath faster.

image

I bought Artemis some bones to chew on

image

In about 2 hours she ate half of it. Woman’s a beast! My friend B said her dog takes a dew months to eat one!

I was good this morning and got oatmeal from Starbucks instead of the crap i normally get…….

image

Why have i not done this before?! Its delicious!!!!!

Though when i get back from hawaii i need to come up with a better routine because not just coffee but also breakfast at Starbucks 3+ times a week is a little too rich for my blood.

Ok and now its pass out time.

Good Night!!!!

How was your wednesday?

Have you been working out?

I love hearing Artemis snore lol It is the sweetest sound.

Tuesday Tangents

Howdy!!!!

How was everyones day?

So i finished Serial season 1 in about 24 hours lol. Today i started season 2 and got as far as they have so far…..now i have to wait 2 weeks for each episode!!!!!

Hopefully she likes it lol.
