Date Night

So the plan was to wake up early and get to the pool and swim before spin class. But 4:30am came and i so did not want to get out of bed. So i didn’t lol. I slept in and cuddled with my dog until 5:10 then jumped up and rushed to get ready and walked into spin class 5 min late.

I left spin class 5 min early to change and hit the pool.

My tracking messed up i think i hit 600m but oh well.

Then off to a day of work. Then i met a guy from Eharmony for dinner. I didn’t have super high hopes and i didn’t think he was that great looking in his pictures (though i am learning the older i get that personality and clicking im person is becoming more and more important), also we didn’t talk that much before meeting so i didn’t have much invested. We went to a nice little place in Oregon city, the conversation flowed well and he was nice. I didn’t feel the immediate desire to jump his bones (which is probably a good thing lol it will allow me to think clearer) but i would be happy to see him again.

And with that it is bed time for me. No AM workout tomorrow but that means if im asleep in the next 20 min i can get 9 hours!!!!!!!

Hump Day

We made it past the half way point!!!

Swam this morning

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?

Weekend Wrap up

The rain managed to actually stay away most of the weekend which was lovely.  It hit Saturday night and late today afternoon/evening.

Last night poor Artemis didnt feel too good. Her tummy was making all kinds of crazy sounds and she wasn’t hungry. She got better though thankfully and when i woke up her food was eaten and she has gotten better and better today.

image

image

My guess is she either ate something she shouldn’t have or just had a little upset tummy. Either way it just needed to work its way out of her system which it did today.

The roomies and i FINALLY took our tree down…….yes i mean Christmas tree lol. It only took us until March..not too bad right? Lol

On another but way worse roomie note, my roommates care got stolen out of our driveway last night?! I feel so bad for her. I am so thankful my car has an alarm and GPS so the cops can track it if anything ever happens. Knock on wood.

Other sad news i own almost 5k in medical bills from my surgery in October. Insurance denied my paying more because it was an out of network provider. Oy, this being an adult stuff rocks. Thankfully i can set up a payment plan.

In happier news…..
The tomato and pepper starters are exploding!!!

image

I am so excited!

Also i ran 4 miles today!!! And the 4 miles we outside!!!!

image

image

Artemis ran the first 1.5 miles with me then she got tired so i dropped her off at home. Shes getting over  her tummy troubles so i didn’t want to push it. 

So i workout a pretty good amount. These are the things that help keep me going. Along with pre-workout, protien and recovery but ill talk about that another day.

image

I also did a lot of reading this weekend which was glorius.

image

Do you take any suppliments?

What’s the weather like where you are?

If you have dogs, do they run with you?

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!

Tuesday Tangents

Wooo tomorrow is wednesday then the week is more than half over!!!!

Last night i ran on the treadmill.
Run 3 min, walk 1:30 min x6 but i did it x8 i added 2 to the plan for weight loss

image

image

Artemis kept me company

image

image

Full meals have turned into snacks lol like first lunch and second lunch

image

Today’s running calendar

image

Didy seed starters today for peppers and tomatoes!!!!!

image

image

How was your Tuesday?

What is the opposite of thirsty thursday?

I almost didn’t get up for spin class. I already wanted to go back to sleep then Artemis cuddled up to me and i soooo wanted to skip spin but then i thought about having to tell my trainer i didn’t go and that ill be gone next week so yea….

image

I got my butt up and went……and wanted to die.  Spin class instructors are sadistic. But they get me to push above and beyond so yea.

image

Take a moment to enjoy and experience this. ……a completely empty locker room at the gym. For like a FULL MINUTE. This is unheard of at my gym.

Exhaustion does not cover what i feel. 4 workouts in 48 hours. I am so taking tomorrow off workouts. I am still going to bed early even though i get to ‘sleep in’ tomorrow.

image

They have these for dogs!!!! 3 flavors where on sale at target so i got 1 of each for Artemis to try. Tonight with her kibble she had pumpkin and oat puree. She enjoyed it.

Another thing we must acknowledge

image

It was not fully dark when i left work tonight!!!!!!!! The light is coming back!!! I am sooo stoked!

How was your Thursday?

Are you as exhausted as i am?

My bed feels like heaven.

Goonight.

Happy Thursday!!

Today was a pretty good day overall. I got up and made it to spin class today whichwas awesome and totally killed me.

image

image

Started off really well this morning!!

image

I start half marathon training next week!!! I need to do a post about all my planned races.

image

When i dont walk for an hour a red bar appears and my garmin buzzes at me.

image

Dinner was homemade pizza!!! Though i ate 1 more slice than i should have lol.

image

Yay i hit my goal!!!!

And i figured out the calories. That is how many calories i have burned all day, including just living, breathing, and body function. 

Ok sleep time for me!

Have you ever made homemade pizza?

Do you sleep in silence, with music, with TV or what?
I do tv with the light dimmed or music.
