Well I have enjoyed my week on but am excited to get back at it tomorrow.
Training for the triathlon and marathon start in earnest. Time to kick it into gear.
Today we happily relaxed and watched TV
Summer us definitely here so an AM 3 mile run it is!
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.
And on that mushy note, have a great day!!!!
Back to work today!!!
The end my trip was nice, we tried to go to the gym and swim Morning but the pool was closed because the office was closed, don’t ask me to explain it cause i can’t lol.
Then we went to the beach for lunch, which sadly was dissapointing, especially considering the prices, oy.
But the dogs had a blast at the beach!
These pictures make me soooo happy, seeing how happy she is.
Mom was freezing though hahaha.
After a LOOOOONG drive home, at least it felt that way there was no way i was cooking
After we got home she was wiped out!
And of course after having been there i had to watch Twilight hahaha
Horrible picture.

We were a little slow lol.
I just ran out on the roads
Still pretty and great running weather.
Then mom and I went out for lunch or a late 2nd breakfast depending on what you want to call it.
Yep I had bacon!!!!
Mom and I shared the pancake.
Then we drove around a bit and found Dr. Cullen’s parking space by accident
After lunch mom, stepdad and I took the dogs for a little hike.
It was pretty Flippin beautiful.
And now I am tired so it’s off to bed!!!
I hope you had a great day!

I’m in forks!!!! The home of sparkly vampires!!!
We started the day with a quick workout
Then commenced with lunch where we were joined by a few guests
and sight seeing.
We hit the Cullen house and saw Charlie’s police cruiser
Bella’s truck and the visitor center
Check out where all the different visitors have come from!!!! That is sooooo cool.
Bella’s house
First beach.
Took the dog for a little run in the park next door
It was a fun day!!!!
Happy friday!!!
It was a good Friday, my boss brought me back a post card from Paris, we know how I love post cards
She also brought back yummy treats to try!
Went into work early and got off early to start my drive at a decent time.
Artemis and i’s first road trip together!!!!
Thankfully I only got stuck in about 20-30 minutes of traffic
Then it was all beautiful scenery!!
Until I stopped for a bathroom break and someone made a mess while I was gone
Guess my car is ‘broken in’ now lol.
Had to head into
To get some
To clean up the lovely mess. Then it was on the road and I reached my destination around 11:15pm. Which is way past my bedtime so goodnight!!!!!
I turned off all alarms today and slept it. It was wonderful.
After getting up, I had a protein shake and relaxed. Make eggs for lunch
Did half on toast and half in a breakfast burrito.
I pulled out my yoga video
I did back bends and hip opensers to stretch out after the run.
I spent most of the day on the couch then Artemis and I went to the dog park for a short run around then to the store.
Got a little treat for myself but oh man am I bloated now. Note to self, too many simple carbs.
I think she is a little tuckered out from the park
I’ll be calling it an early night tonight.
6am training tomorrow morning!!
How was your weekend?
Sucess!!!!! The Claritin seems to be starting to work so tomorrow it is back to the workouts. 9am spin class followed by the farmers market to get some fresh local produce.
Not much to report today, another crazy day at work. I went for a nighttime walk with my roommate which was nice and finished my book for book club, the meeting is one Tuesday.
Artemis got really lucky with her dinner tonight, I found some leftover pot roast in the freezer that I had made last year so she got that on top of her normal kibble. Man did she scarf that down. I tasted the broth first to make sure it hadn’t gone bad or gotten a serious freezer taste and it was still yummy. She loved it! And she went on the mile and a half walk with my roommate and I so she had a pretty good night.
OK I am yawning like 3 times a minute so it’s bed time. See you in the AM for spin!!!!
Do you feed your dog (s)/pets human food?
We have fed our pets human food my whole life. The only thing we didn’t feed our last dog was chocolate and he lived to be like 17.
And another weekend comes to close. I slept in and loved it. Thankfully it was a relatively cool and overcast day so I was able to lounge and wake up
Delicious breakfast of champions.
Headed out around 11:30am. Artemis made it to 3.6 miles today another distance increase for her. Then I dropped her off and went out for another 7.5 by myself.
Crossed this bridge at about 9.5.
Got to relax a bit when I got home
She was knocked out most of the rest of the day haha haha
My 11 miler is in the books!!!!
How was your weekend?
Howdy! Happy Tuesday!
I got my butt up this morning and went to the gym
My tablet does not take the best pictures at night.
I did some bike and swim then headed to work.
Work is crazy right now so the days go by quickly but they are also quite frantic feeling.
On top of that last night we found out that our landlord is going to sell the house we are renting. We don’t know if we will be staying or not or how much rent could go up. It is all up in the air, which is super stressful.
Another lovely night comiserating with Carrie Bradshaw. If you have ever spent years dating this show is soooo relatable. Whenever I feel like I might never find someone and feel lonely and hopeless this show reminds me to be strong and independent.
I love hanging with my puppy.
How was your Tuesday?
Any dating advice on how/where to find the right guy?
