i am excited to try this

i dont love coconut but i do love cookies
i am excited to get some extra calcium in my system!
Happy Thursday!!!!!
Yesterday was insane! Work was crazy in the afternoon, i was here late and collapsed when i got home.
Yesterday morning i did swim training which went really well.
this is how i relaxed at lunch.
i needed sugar and caffiene. No i do not normally drink energy drinks, in fact i almost never energy drinks but this week has been crazy.
just started this book on tape this morning and i am LOVING it!!! It is so cute!!! The reader reminds me of Steve Martin when he was in Father of the Bride.
Got my last check from the tulip festival which will get me through to my next paycheck and help me pay some of my last personal training payment.
Speaking of money……..i dont know if i told you this yet or not, but my landlord has decided to sell our house. We get a great deal on rent because one of my roommates is sort of friends with the landlord. He said he would try and find someone who wanted to keep us on but even if that happens our rent will increase probably exponentially. So now i have to see what happens and whether i will be staying or having to find a new place or what is going to happen. But my spending money is sure going to decrease A LOT.
Well whatever comes i have my training to keep me sane.
Talk to you soon!!!!
Worked 4.5 hours at the Tulip festival then came home and did nothing and it was wonderful.
OK so I did a few things, I made a big vat of chickenless chicken noodle soup
That gives me 4 lunches this week and 4 servings in the freezer.
I did some dishes and wrote some post cards.
It’s May Day!!!!
I burned a candle from the time I got home and just blew it out on this great day associated with passion and love to find my perfect match. It smells delicious like a sexy man. It seriously smells like rugged man Cologne so I figured it was appropriate hahahahaha!!!
Now off to bed, I have a 6am training appt.
How was your weekend?
This is my last fish dish from Blue Apron. They just don’t freeze very well or reheat that great, not that I think any fish does, so it doesn’t quite work for my lifestyle. Except that salmon fettuccine one, that reheated beautifully. Anyways here is lunch for the next 2 days
As always I tweaked it a bit and made it a sort of Asian teriyaki salmon. I figured a stronger flavor would reheat better.
Delicious spinach in the potato salad. I used half the mustard seed instead of all and only used maybe 1/4th of the horseradish because I am not a huge horseradish person.
I worked 4.5 hours today and was super happy to get off early and am so looking happy the Tulip festival only has pne weekend left. Not that it has been bad at all but I am so ooooh tired. I will he sleeping and being very lazy my first weekend off. Except for my workouts I will do nothing but read/watch tv.
After work I came home and cooked my Blue Apron meal then got ready for my date. This was date 2 for this gentleman and i…….I hate dating. Where dkd all the ruggedly handsome, confident, smart, interesting, men with tattoos go? One I am not that super attracted to him yet but it’s date 2 and he didn’t try to kiss me at all? Is he trying to be friend zoned?
Good night.
Any idea what the secret to dating is?
Well this was supposed to upload and post last night but my phone is on the verge of dying so i get to spend my lunch at Costco seeing what they can do for me for a phone plan and hopefully get a new one soon.
Yesterday was a good day i pickedup a pineapple at the store a few days ago and cut it up, so happy we are getting to fresh cheap fruit season!!! I am starting to have good delicious snacks.
I met my trainer at the gym for a swim workout.
It was beautiful at lunch so i went out for a little walk before the rains hit at night. When i got back i put my legs up to try and drain some of the lactic acid that has built up
I needed a quick dinner so i drove through subway. Then i ran out the door to my first trivia night from Meetup.com!
It was super fun!!!! I will definetly be going back.
How was your Wednesday?
Happy Saturday!!!
Weekend 4 done at the tulip farm for me!! I don’t work tomorrow because i have a race.
But lets back up, i got my butt to the gym yesterday morning and did a little spin and swim
Then i hit Starbucks thanks to my bestie Nicole and the birthday giftcard she sent me
Yep thats a little bit of my Stitchfix dress you see.
I also got some blueberries to add to my oatmeal 
The tulip festival was good day, busy but not crazy.
I came home and read a chapter of my book club book the watched a Netflix documentary on the barkely marathon. The first rule of the barkley marathon is you don’t talk about the barkley marathon…..oops i broke rule #1. This race is INSANE!!! In the i think 30 something years it has been run only 15 people have ever finished it………I WANT TO DO IT!!!!!! But not for a long time lol i have to learn how to navigate a trail map and all that cause there are NO ROUTE MARKERS and its in the Tennessee wilderness.
Card dinner
And now its sleep time for my race tomorrow. Goodnight.
Google the Barkley marathon and let me know if you want to try it with me
Ugh apperently this is another one that didn’t post. How annoying!!!!!
Hi all!!!!
Well this morning my body continued it’s battle with this sickness by trying to empty everything out of it, sorry if that’s TMI. So i skipped spin, i didn’t want to have to run for the bathroom midclass. My stomach is still bloated but slowly recovering.
When i got home from work i took Artemis for a walk and decided to run a mile. My stomach hurt a bit but we made it.
Had a little dinner, yes i love carbs.
No i didn’t eat the whole thing tonight lol.
The plan is to once again try to spin and swim a bit tomorrow before work. They will both be easy though, no major pushing myself.
How was your day?
Oh so technically i haven’t completed my first triathlon yet but i am working on it and most of this works for running too hahahahaha.
oh and disclaimer, i got all these photos from pintrest, none are my own lol
seriously. This is even worse when my workout schedule gets screwed up, “well i think i am swimming tomorrow so i dont want to wash my hair tonight”……..5 days in a row.
Running was bad enough, the shoes, the gels the clothes, add in swimming and biking and my accounts are not only empty, they are negative.
I crash and i crash hard when i don’t have food. Lets just say the impatient bitch comes out.
If this isnt your lifestyle you just don’t get it.
This is slowly becoming true………and i LOVE it!!!!
Finding someone to either deal with your workout schedule or workout this much with you is diffincult. and yes the more in shape i get the more i want a ripped guy who still fits all my other critera……..apperently i will be alone forever hahahaha
I swear i shaved yesterday…….oh that was 2 weeks ago…….
I never have enough clean workout clothes.
It’s a battle every morning.
something fun to leave you with.
Happy Wednesday! More than halfway to the weekend! Today was my first full day back at work this week. I’m not 100% better but I’m like 85-90% better. When i got home i took Artemis for a short walk since she’s been cooped up since our run on Saturday due to me not feeling good.
She still knows she’s spoiled though hahaha.
I made my last Blue Apron meal from my box last week. Enchiladas. Sorry i failed to take prep and cooking photos.
This has a fair amount of mushrooms in it and i dont quite love the taste if mushrooms in most things except ravioli and marinated and grilled button mushrooms but the flavor of the enchiladas totally masked the mushrooms which was perfect for me, i get the healthy benefits without having to taste them.
These are some seriously full enchiladas. I brought 2 for lunch and ended up eating half for lunch and half for dinner.
I went to target on my lunch to get some planting stuff and found some great oatmeal on sale for practically nothing.
This box has 8 instant oatmeals in it for $2.58!!! I got apple cinnamon and maple brown sugar. For $5 i now have lunch at work for the next 3 weeks. I can throw some fruit or nuts in to spice it up if necessary. Sometimes i LOVE target.
For planting
I planted 3 more potatoes in the white containers
I transplanted my first tomato and pepper start. I figure ill transfer 1-2/week and see how they fair.
My peas and corn are still growing!!!!
Now off to bed so i can go to spin class in the AM. Goodnight!!!
How was your day?
Are you planting any food this year?
Well this was supposed to post on Thursday but i guess it didnt lol.
Hiii!! I hope you are all well this Thursday.
I overslept for the 2nd time this week. I missed spin class so the goal is to wake up early tomorrow amd spin and swim. No spin class so ill bring headphones and rockout to Pandora lol
I don’t know if i just need more sleep (which would be difficult to accomplish with my schedule) or if I’m fighting something off.
I am really proud, 3 out of the 4 weekdays so far i have taken Artemis out for a walk that is a record high for us and i plan to continue it.
Now for my Blue Apron meal
Boiling my beet. Then I read the directions and realized i was supposed to slice it so i sliced it then continued cooking it hahahahah.
I deviated from thd recipe and added some honey. I have a million, almost literally, from my trail prep.
Technically the fish was supposed to be on top when plating but this is in tupperware for lunch tomorrow so it ended up on the bottom lol.
Have you tried Blue Apron yet?
