Dual workout and barkbox

Woke up at 3:30 this morning!!!!! Though i laid in bed and played on my phone and cuddled with the dog until 4. Hit the gym and did 20 min the water.

image

With workout 1 done i changed for workout 2

image

Spin class.
I knew it was going to be a hard day when i rolled out of bed this morning  and was sore all over from training and running yesterday.
Spinning was good

image

image

My waterbottle was at that point where it was starting to get gross so i broke down and out it in the dish washer. Bought gatorade at the gym

image

My new favorite flavor, glacial frost.

image

The delicious cheese i think i mentioned yesterday.
Today was ice cream sundae day at work

image

I tried to be good and not go overboard. The first half was delicous then i started feeling horrible but eat these kinds of sweets so infrequently that i forced myself to finish it and felt bloated and gross for like 2 hours. Old habits die hard.

image

My new vitamins arrived. I track my food in myfitnesspal and one of the things it has shown me is that i never hit my daily calcium goal so i will start taking these a few days a week to combat that a bit.

image

Barkbox came today!!!!! I love opening these boxes!!!

It is always interesting to see what Artemis is going to like toy wise and what she is going to ignore. Anything Artemis doesn’t want Jasper, my roommates dog, will eventually adopt as his own.

I am feeling a little lonely tonight. I miss having a boyfriend, i miss having my girls around for dinner dates and coffee dates. I am doing a lot better with my  breakup and getting back out there but some nights i still get really sad and lonely. Mostly when i disappointed by the state of men and dating today and get depressed that I’ll never find someone.
This too shall pass.

Well thats it on my end.

How was your day?

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!!!!!

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.

Weekend Wrap-up

Not too much going on this weekend.

Did spin class Saturday morning

image

Hit target for some travel sized supplies.

Took Artemis to the dog park.

image

Tried Hormel vegetarian chili for the first time….not as good as Nally’s in my opinion.

Had some serious anxiety about dropping Artemis off at my roommates parents house for my trip.

image

I am slowly relaxing but will constantly have it in the back of my head until i pick her back up.

Now it’s time for bed, i got sucked into Grease Live and stayed up later than i would have like.

How was your weekend?

Any advice for relaxing when leaving dogs/kids with other people forba vacation or whatever weekend?

TGIF!!!

Wow when did 9:30 on a Friday night become late to me? Hahahaha! I don’t know whether to be ashamed or proud.

image

Today’s hydration; water, tea and coffee.

First lunch was leftover pot roast i found in the freezer that i had made a few months ago over some rice. Second lunch was yakisoba!!! Apperently I’m a bit obssessed.

image

Reading material before bed

image

And now its bedtime!!! Spin class in the AM and i have convinced my roommate to go with me……bwahahaahaah!!!!!  (evil laughter)

Do you drag people to your workouts?

What is your go to treat meal lately?

Any fun weekend plans?

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.

Monday- run 3 miles

Now Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday aren’t locked into a plan yet. I do know 1 day i will have a strength training session, 1 day i will have a training session in the pool and if my trainer and i can work i schedule out i will hopefully have either Tuesday or Thursday morning free so i can go to a spin class before work.

I need to make up for the lack of weekend workouts.

Friday- OFF

Saturday- spin class amd run around the dog park with Artemis.

Sunday-Yoga and run 3 miles.

How about you????
