Weekend Wrapup

Noooooooo!!!!! It’s sunday night again.
Back to the grind we go.

Yesterday i hit the pool for a little 30min workout.

image

image

Then in the afternoon it was off to an orientation meeting because i will be working weeknds at a festival up here at the farm my roommate works out for the next 7 weeks. Except the 3 days i have races.

Dinner was the delicious Salmon and veggies i had made Friday night with a southwest salad.

image

image

And i watched Kiss The girls since i finished the book.

image

Sunday it was long run day. 5 miles

image

I taped my knees to be safe since they were sore at the end of the week.

I took the dog out running with me. We only got about half a mile until the drizzle started to pour then turned into hail. She didnt like that too much so we turned around and brought her
back home.

image

image

Then i went back out and braved the  elements to run 5 more miles. It misted, rained, poured and hailed. It was in interesting run lol.

Me looking like a drowned rat after my run. Also i look like i was crying. I am guessing that is the rain running all my sweat into my eyes.

And now its sleep time.

How was your weekend?

Do your weekends fly by too?

TGIF

Woooohoooo another weekend has arrived!

Not much to report here. I am taking it easy and resting me body

image

Iced my knee tonight. Tomorrow i swim and hopefully by Sunday I’m ready to run again. I think I’ll tape my knee up to be safe.

My roommate  brought me back candy from Australia

image

Boy do they have the right idea.

I made a nice healthy meal of salmon and veggies

image

image

Actually it made 2 meals :mrgreen:

Should make a delicious dinner tomorrow and Sunday night.

That and several episodes of Scandal were my Friday night……i know, i party too hard.

Did you do anything fun with your TGIF?

What does your weekend look like?

Short and to the point.

I dragged my butt out of bed and to the gym this morning to go to spin class. I got there is 6 min late (i am usually nerd early everywhere but an AM workout, forget about it). So i get there and am hoping the class won’t be too full, they hadn’t even started yet. I’m adjusting my bike thinking how lucky i am  only to here the gym worker telling the other 5 people in the class that there is no instructor this morning……….so now what?

2 of the people left but the rest of us rode on!!!!!! Slowly as the hour went on people trickled out. I made it about 50 min.

image

I am proud of myself for not using thr excuse of no class to get me out of my workout.

On the flip side my knees are super achey! This is the first time i have ever worked out this much and this consistently and my body is like WTF?

So tonight i iced my knees and will be taking it easy. Tomorrow is my rest day anyways and Saturday instead of spin amd swim I’m just going to swim. Hopefully ill be able to do my 5 miles on Sunday. Fingers crossed!

I may have gone a little overboard with my dinner tonight…..

image

We’ll call this a cheat meal lol. Now i need to be very good for a while hahahahahaha.

And now im exhausted so good night!!!!!

Hump Day

We made it past the half way point!!!

Swam this morning

image

image

My photography skills leave something to be desired.

image

My lunchbox these days, filled to max.

image

I had a suprise on my desk this morning!!!! Groot!!!! This little guy is so cute and i always played with my co-workers so she bought me one!!!!!! Probably because i threatened to steal hers…………….
Thanks Christina!!!!!!!!

image

This is part of tomorrow lunch but i just wanted a little taste test………..you ready? This is coleslaw mix from the grocery store and……top ramen!!! With some green onions sprinkles on top. Not too shabby.

And last but not least

image

I started a little lettuce garden. I’m not sure i filled the pot enough though. Guess we will find out.
How was your Wednesday?
Are you doing any gardening this year?

TGIF

Happy Friday!!! Like so many Americans i live for the weekends.
Today will be a short and sweet post.

Got up and took Artemis for a walk/jog before work. I think thats a really good time to walk her because there are less people out and about. I think as it continues to warm up we will be good running buddies.

image

I thought that was a good quote.

image

Reached my step goal! Woot Woot!

image

The tomatoes and peppers are doing awesome!!!!

image

I am so grateful for my sweet girl. She has cuddled with me many a night that i have cried or just needed some cuddles during this breakup and all the drama with it. I am sad again tonight and having her here is a great comfort.

Goodnight i hope you had a great Friday night!

Stitch Fix!!!!

Tomorrow is Friday!!!! Yay!!!!

I got my butt up and went to spin this morning

image

I was good and had fruit for breakfast

image

Now for the fun stuff……i got my first Stitch Fix box!!!!!
So in it were a pair of jeans that actually fit perfectly (i can barely do that in the store how did they manage it?) but i just bought myself 2 new pairs of jeans so i can’t justify keeping them.
2nd was this necklace

image

Which i like but would probably never wear (though i will to work tomorrow lol)
3rd was this top

image

I like the lace detailing on the sleeves but it does nothing for me so it will be going back.
4th was this top

image

Which does NOTHING for me
and 5th is this top

image

I actually really like this top but don’t know if it does anything for me. I am going to wear it tomorrow with the necklace, jeans and boots and see how i feel. This is the only thing i would consider keeping from this box.
I would love your opinion please?
Do you like this top on me?
Yes please be honest.

My desk

Hi!!!!!!!!! I thought today i would show you want my desk looks like, or more accurately the parts of my desk that are about me about very little about work hahaha.

Breakfast today-Fresh-Cut-Fruit-Thumbnail

I devoured my fruit today then went on to a salad

How was your Tuesday?

Hawaii day 5 and heading home

By day 5 i needed to relax so while the girls went out i thoroughly enjoyed having the condo to myself and reading pretty much all day.

image

image

I took a break from reading to go for a run on the lovely overcast day with some drizzle coming down.

image

And yes when i say lovely, i mean lovely. The drizzling helped a bit with the temperature.
Though the humiditing mixed with the drizzling led to me dripping sweat.

image

A lot of it.

After running i enjoyed a delicious simple lunch

image

image

Then i contined to read for the rest of the day until the girls got back and we all went to dinner at Duke’s. I had Ahmazing fish tacos!!!

Today was pretty much all traveling. A cab picked me up at 9:45. It took me an hour to get through security, Hawaii’s airport is packed.

Then i spent 5 hours in a plan then a $50 cab ride later i was sitting on my porch waiting for my roommates dad to let me in with the spare key since i somehow didn’t pack mine.

And now i am finally in my own bed so excited to go to sleep.

Goodnight!

How was your weekend?
