My weekend

Another weekend is coming to an end.

I have had a great weekend.
Saturday morning i slept in until 8ish then hit the gym with my roommate. I ran 4 miles woot woot!!

image

Overall i did about a 13:45 pace with walking and sprints bringing me to that average. I am super happy with that time.
Had bacon and eggs for breakfast totally meant to take a picture but i was hungry and forgot lol. Now i am getting ready because the boyfriend and i are going to see Wicked today!!! I’m super stoked, I’ve never seen in.

image

Wicked was awesome!! I loved it. I thought it was a lot better than the book. The book was too political for me and the performance focused more on the friendship.

image

Nope, that’s not the moon, its the sun covered by some serious haze from the smoke of all the wildfires.

Sunday i decided to watch

image

To compare and contrast it to the book. Went grocery shopping for the week. And now have some potatoes baking to put chili over.

How was your weekend?
Did you get a workout in?

Book Review**Jurassic Park

I saw the movie for the first time years and years ago and have seen it many times since, i figured it was time to read the book.

image

The beginning was interesting, the intro read like an article about biology, i second guessed if it was part of the story until it mentioned Ingen.

It reminded me a little bit of resident evil how they talk about umbrella Corp growing and having their hand in everything…..though i guess since this came first maybe resident evil reminds me of this lol.

Overall i really liked the book and obviously there were differences from the movie, certain characters died different ways or different things happened and of course there was more in the book than the movie but the movie followed it pretty closely.

I really enjoyed the book and will be reading the second one.

Happy Friday!!!!

So glad this week is over! Today wasn’t bad but it was another crazy week at work.

image

Coffee helped get me through.

Tonight i watched a cute romantic movie.

image

Love the oldies.

Today i also registered for the early bird special for Seattle’s rock and roll half marathon!!

image

It is next June. B thinks she is going to do it with me!! Yay!!
Boyfriend said he would come cheer me on lol.

Yay for the weekend!!!

Happy National Potato day!!

Woohoo work week is half over!!!
Today is national potato day, i learned that while listening to the radio this morning so at lunch i enjoyed some potatoes.

image

After work was my first personal training appointment. It was awesome, my legs amd glutes are gonna be sore tomorrow but i loved it!

Now i am all signed up on myfitnesspal and am friends with my trainer so she is going to see EVERYTHING i eat! Scary thought. But i like it, ill think about that before i eat anything lol.

I am hitting the hay early tonight to get up and run in the am!

Talk to you tomorrow!!

Did you partake in national potato day?

The beginning of the week.

Sunday one of my best friends got married and it was an absolutely beautiful ceremony.

I rented a car to drive to the little tourist city she had the wedding in.

image

This was my first time ever renting a car.

image

My bridesmaid dress.

After the wedding i went back to my motel room and called it a night early cause i was tired.

Monday i got up and turned in the rental car and got to the airport to catch my plane home.

I had a gourmet breakfast

image

Not!!
I got home and relaxed for a bit. Then Monday night i had a date with my amazing man. This is what he did for me

image

image

I really dont think ive ever been treated this amazing before.

Also mu new gym bag came!

image

Love it!!!!
I walked on my roommates new treadmill this morning.

image

Its not much but at least i got up and did something lol.
Then tonight my roommate and i activitly watched an old episode of amazing race, i walked on the treadmill and she did the recumbent bike.

Tomorrow at 7, i have my first personal training appt!!! Ill tell you how it goes!

Saturday

Howdy!!!

So the guy made me salmon with an herb sauce, salad and mashed potatoes. Oh and a champagne drink that was yummy.

image

That’s from google, i haven’t subjeted him to photos for the blog yet lol.

And i lost 2 hours of my life watching pandorm

image

Dennis Quaid, i am disappointed in you.

This morning i got up and headed to the airport to fly back Reno for my friends wedding.

image

We hit some turbulence which was a little scary. Its amazing how the older i get the more turbulance my flights seem to hit, or maybe it just sticks with me more now.

I enjoyed lunch at the airport

image

Got MOD pizza, it was really quick and yummy, i liked the super thin dough.

image

Reno is so classy isn’t it? Hahahahaha

Had to pick up some shoes for the wedding and spent some time with my friend. Now im in my room relaxing, watchig American ninja warrior lol

image

I had dinner delivered because i dont have a car. I chose the cheapest of my options but tried to be healthy and fill up on mostly the salad. And ive got enough pizza for the rest of my trip lol

image

And now i need to reserve a car to rent for tomorrow.

How did you spend your Saturday?

Have you ever rented a car? This will be my first time.

Happy Friday!!!!!!

Hi all!!

Its been a good week, though the last 2 days i have been super bloated, like painful and uncomfortable. I think my body is kicking my butt for not eating very healthy lately so its time to change that.

Not eating healthy has made me super tired at work. Last week and this week i caved and got a 5 hour energy and nursed it for a few days.

image

Today i have been eating fruit from my organics to you box

image

Delicious peaches!!!
And activia hoping that would help

image

I didnt do meal prep this week so i got some frozen dinners

image

Not great for me but better than fast food. Also smaller portions on my stomach.

Speaking of food though…..the guy is cooking me dinner tonight!!!! How sweet!

Ill let you know how his cooking is hahahahaha.

I am doing a littlr better.

The week is more than half over wooohoo!!!!
Monday i went to dinner and a movie why my new guy. We saw ‘vacation’ i thought it was hilarious! Not quite as classic as the original but still really funny.
Tuesday the amazing new guy came over and put together my new bed frame and my roommates treadmill. He spent 2 hours putting things together for me and my roomie. He is soooo wonderful!
Today i enjoy thr leftover candy from our movie lol

image

I have drank more high calorie coffee drinks than i should

image

But on the plus side i went to the gym tonight and did my 3 miles!

image

Then i hit the pool and did 4 or 6 laps, i can’t remember. I know that doesnt sound like a lot but ive only done 12 as a max before and that was not having run first. I’m working back into it.
Post gym selfie
