Home from my trip and the week’s recap
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

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

Friday-Spin and Swim
Saturday- run 9-9.5 miles
Sunday-Off
it is a lesser week for me workout wise but sometimes we just need some rest.
Ugh my stupid phone
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?

Hardships of being a triathlete PT 1
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.
Random Saturday stuff
It is 7:45pm and i am exhausted. I am sitting in my room tearing up while watching the wedding in Breaking Dawn part 1. Don’t judge lol. Exhaustion makes people more emotional. I’ve always loved the wedding in this movie and ibwas watching Charlie walk Bella down the isle him totally tearing up and i just got that sad I’ll never have that moment. For those that don’t know my dad died almost 8 years ago some days it still hurts like it was yesterday.
Ok enough with the depressing.
Another 7+ hour day working at the tulip farm. It was a beautiful day so the festival was PACKED. Today was the busiest day they have had in the 32ish years they have been doing this.
My trying to take the picture and smile while squinting in the sun and not run into anyone.
As soon as i got home i changed into workout clothes because if i sit down i am not getting back up.
Artemis and i got out and ran 2.5 miles in the beautiful day.
My right foot really hates it when i stand on it for 7+ hours then run over 1.5 miles on it.
Yay!!!!! My peas and corn are starting to sprout!! Not much action from the onions and potatos yet though. Fingers crossed.
Easiest healthy dinner. You saute whatever veggies you have in the fridge then pour some bottled pasta sauce over it.
Add a little basil and cheese and shovel in mouth because you are starving and starting to crash.
Then pass out from exhaustion.
How was your Saturday?
Good night.
Hump Day!!!!
Howdy!!!!
Met with my trainer this morning and am finally getting back on track with my workouts. Before today i hadn’t worked out since my run on Saturday. Yes, i live a life where 3 days without working out is a lifetime hahahaha.
Sorry i didn’t post yesterday i went out on a pizza date and passed out as soon as i got home to make it to try and get in 7 hours of sleep before getting up to go to the gym this morning. The date……….well the pizza was good lol. The converstation kind of ebbed and flowed, there were some awkward silent ebbs though hahaha. This was our second date so i kissed him at the end of the night……also awkward, i sort of ran to my car after that LOL.
Speaking of pizza letrs talk Blue Apron Meal 3! Veggie Calzones. So they were supposed to be mushroom, collared green calzones, they turned into collared green, onion and pineapple calzones to fit my desire lol.
Yep i drink the pineapple juice
Pizza spices
Yea i didn’t quite get them to stay shut lol
I am excited these actually reheated quite well for lunches. Out of this box with me doctoring the meals a bit and adding and subtracting a few things here and there i got a total of 10 meals instead of 6, woot woot!!! So far 4 of those are in the freezer for a later date, it might be 5 depending on what i eat tonight and if i make one of the meals from the box that is arrive tonight for my lunch tomorrow or not.
My sweet little girl.
Lastly i have a finanicaly dilemma, though i have come to a decision but yea. So i by no means make a lot of money. I am lower middle income and personal training and races cost money, also i have student loans and credit card debt and spent several years living beyond my means. Mixed with my medical debt from my sugery i am slowly paying off i am broke most of the time. I just set up a whole budget for myself to get back on track and start paying off debt and stop living beyong my means, yay me.
So of course, my gym emails me and says we are raising our personal training fees, not by a lot but every dollar counts. I have like 4 hours left of training on my account so i know i was going to have to buy more soon but i was thinking of doing a lesser package but of course now if i buy the largest non-reaccuring package i can lock my price in and train consistently for about 4 months which is great, but it is going to cost me $1440. OUCH!!!!! This does give me the lowest hourly cost and i am splitting it into 4 payments but of course it has to be purchased by the end of the month so the first payment is going on my credit card. I was feeling guilt about this after promising myself not to live beyond my means but i sat down and really thought about it and i have been battling depression pretty badly out here the last few months and consistently working out has kept me on a happier, healther past. My mom made the great point of saying that $1440 is a lot but its also a lot cheaper than months of therapy LOL.
