Thankfully it wasn’t crazy busy so I was able to make sure I’m all caught up and good to go. Also it’s super nice that it was my first full day and tomorrow is ready Thursday!
Artemis and I went for a run this morning
New area so she had to stop and smell everything
I just went with it.
Awesome sunrise
Not a shabby view to run by!!!
After work I met a guy for dinner, Thai food!!!! It was yummy, a little reading and now it’s time for bed. Night night.
Whew!!! And with that we are completely out of the old place.
Artemis cowered on the couch all Friday morning while the movers were there.
My mom is flipping amazing and helped sooooo much!
There was a lot to move and go through
Lots of cleaning at the new and old place
Lots of fast food happened over the last 3 days
Poor Artemis has had a hard weeked….though she is finally settling down.
Just wanted to give you a quick update. More to come tomorrow!!!!
Excuses, Excuses is right! All i have had lately are exucses.
I have not worked out since THURSDAY!!! That is 4 days! Thankfully i am meeting a client tonight to do some cardio with so i can snap myself out of this funk. I need get my butt back into gear.
This is why you are never supposed to go more than 2 days in a row without working out, you fall into a no workout funk…….or maybe that is just me.
My excuses have been that my dog wants to cuddle (which is amazing, puppy cuddles are the best), that i just plain dont want to get out an run today, that i trained someone (thats counts as a workout right?) Etc, Etc.
I am going to use you guys to keep me honest for the next week, if you dont see a workout on this blog feel free to CALL ME OUT!
I slept in this morning which was wonderful but at 7:30 on the dot workmen showed up to work on the other burned out half of the Duplex, finally.
Remember that?
The workmen showing up isn’t the problem, the problem is that my poor puppy was scared out of her mind! She does not do well with loud noises. She was shaking so bad.
I wrapped her up on the couch
If I held her close she would stop shaking
This sad mommy did not want to leave her baby to go to work. I am stressed out!
It is going to be a long day because I am going to be worried about her.
On another note, I tried a sample of protien powder this morning, cookies and cream flavored, it’s like they know me!!!!!
I love cookies and cream ice cream so this was right up my alley.
It has actual cookie bits in it! I’m excited about that.
It is pretty tasty.
I may consider ordering some of this to supplement my vega chocolate and greens for a little change now and then.
It is whey protien which I don’t love but if I only take it now and then it shouldn’t be too bad.
What kind of protien powder do you like?
Favorite flavor?
I tend to be chocolate all the way but I haven’t tried too many others, mostly because I want a vegan protien powder for my main protien. But I think I will be branching out a bit.
Another one bites the dust and another one gone and another gone, another bites the dust.
Post run I got to take a quick cold ‘shower’ really it was just a rinse off since even after they ‘fixed’ it, we have no hot water.
Lunch was the last of my pasta with bolognase sauce
I got to work on my meal prepping.
My attempt at my yogurt bites
I cheated on the granola and of course it didn’t turn out well. It tasted good but didnt hold up well.
Add fruit on top, remember that giant thing of blueberries I got a few weeks ago? I froze most of them
Then into the freezer they went!
They taste like a dessert! It’s wonderful!
I also made a chicken pasta salad
And of course, my sweet baby girl!!!!
Love this photo!!!!
And now chicken is in the slow cooker overnight.
How was your weekend?
Did you make any good food?
Good morning!!!!
I got some cuddles while I ate my bagel and watched TV.
Then we got up and got ready to run
The goal was 11 miles
But this is how far we made it
Since I have family in town I was trying to coordinate when my mom would come over and how far I could run before then.
That is how far I got. I planned on maybe going back out and seeing if mom would walk with me but I made a rookie mistake
Noooooooo!!!!!!
Then mom didn’t want to go out so I jumped on the treadmill to get in a few more miles and ended up with killer cramps. Anytime I would try to run faster or or for longer than half a mile the cramps would get bad, then I’d walk a bit and they’d go away then start coming back. And I was guzzling Gatorade so maybe I was low on salt which seems insane since I ate out so much yesterday.
But normally I do half Gatorade half water and a gel or some combination but I always use gels. I didn’t this time so that might have had an effect. Very interesting.
I got another 1.3ish miles on the treadmill so I got just over 7 miles in today.
I’ll have to add in another 4 miles somewhere this week.
How was your morning?
What form of energy do you use during your run?
Love waking up to here
Got delicious breakfast with my mom and stepdad at Biscuits Cafe
This is how I stop myself from eating anymore when I’m full, otherwise I keep snacking
Watching an old episode of Survivor while I do some work and hang with my puppy.
Gonna do a short run this afternoon then hang with the family.
How is your Saturday going?
What is your favorite breakfast?
Mine is a toss up between simple eggs, bacon and toast, and the decadent stuff like pancakes, French toast and waffles.
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Work would not end today Then traffic was sucky! Finally I made it home and it’s roasting!!!!
This is our AC hahahaha.
Mama got to my place not long after me
I love my wonderful mom.
Then we went on a mom sponsored grocery shopping trip!!!!
You can thank my mom for the delicious food pics that will show up in the next 2 days hahahaha.
Rewatching the Barkley marathons.
Watched ‘tracks’ with my mom earlier.
I’m working on my hydration because I lagged in that area today.
She’s hard to see in the dark but you can kind of make out her collar to the left lol
Once this is done it’s bedtime.
Oh man so in sad new update, my triathlon has been cancelled!!!! They were sort of vague about the why, basically just unforseen consequences and things beyond their control. I deferred my race entrance to next year. But I’m still bummed. On the plus side this gives me more time to save and get a good bike. I’ll keep you posted.
How was your friday?
Thankfully the migranes faded. I took 3 ibuprofen and started drinking a Coke. I took it easy at work in the AM and by lunch or was bouncing back.
With to lunch with my family who is in town. You’ll see them as I do more with them over the weekend.
After lunch My coworker and friend Kate, who went to lunch with me picked blackberries outside work before heading back in
I noticed that I have shoulder bruises from the weighted squats machine
After work the roommate and I headed to the gym. I got my swim on.
After dinner it was dessert time!!
Roommate and I are waiting survivor while we eat, then she pulls out leftover jerky from our hike.
And my baby is cuddling with me
As soon as this episode is over its off to bed for me!!!
How was your day?
Did you get in a workout?
Do you watch TV while you eat?
I know they say we aren’t supposed to and I agree, but being single there’s not much else to do while I eat.
Howdy!!! Hope everyone is well.
I overslept today and did not get a run in before work and also didn’t have time to get my swimsuit out of the dryer so today turned into a rest day. Normally I would just switch my workouts to Friday which was my planned rest day but I switched schedules with someone so I could get off early since I have family in town so that means I have to be at work at 6am. That would mean I’d have to be at the gym by about 4am to workout…….not happening.
I came squeeze in a swim after my spin on Saturday morning but I will just have to miss that run. Which is a bad mom move because that means Artemis missed the excersice too.
On another note I took a crazy amount of vitamins today. In my sample box they had a daily dose of vitamins so I tried it today
Yea that is a 1 DAY dose! It took me 2 shallows to get this all down. And I had to mix it with Gatorade because they were a little flavorful
That is a lot of stuff to take at once.
So podcasts…..I stopped listening to them for awhile but started again yesterday. I have like 8 episodes of ‘criminal’ to catch up on and have started listening to ‘here be monsters’. It really breaks up the monotony of a desk job.
Do you listen to podcasts?
Which ones?
If not I recommend ‘Serial’ I was obsessed with that and cannot wait to see what season 3 has in store.
Well off to bed for 6am training!!!
My sweet girl and my laundry to put away hahahaha!!
Trailing the blonde
