Wednesday Wonderings

Good Morning!!!!!!

I spent most of the weekend relaxing and feeling down about my ex who i hung out with Friday night. But i got over it. I spent the weekend on the couch relaxing and bindged on scandal, i am now halfway through season 3.

image

I opened one of my small coffee samples i bought from Hawaii to try this weekend……freaking delicious!!!!!

image

I hung some fun motivational quotes in my cubicle to keep motivation all day long

image

image

image

I will continue to add to it.

Tuesday i had a good strength workout and i am a little sore today. This morning i did my swim workout, i am sure as the day goes on i will get more sore hahaha.

image

I 💗 You Starbucks

image

Not all the way awake……have a happy hump day!!

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.

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)

Thursday thoughts

And another day has come and gone. Once again work just dragged today. It is slowing down after the holidays and we got spolied with two 3day weekends in a row and are paying the price now.

Today was a day off for my from working out and i LOVED it. I was a couch potato and felt no guilt whatsoever. Now it’s 8:45pm and i am about to pass out to get up for my 5am swim session.

image

My delicious lunch!! They are veggie ribblets, which i know doesn’t sound very appetizing but they are super awesome!

image

2nd lunch….. Lol the hunger hit and i made a delicious but un-nutritious choice.

image

The color i am going to dye my hair this weekend…..yes its pink :mrgreen:

image

My view while journaling……don’t those eyes look awesome with the flash?

image

One of my goals this year is to journal everyday….so far so good lol.

I write in my triathlete training log, then journal then do a sudoku puzzle

Not a bad way to end the night……

Sweet dreams!!!!!!!

The rest of my weekend and blue apron

The rest of my weekend was mostly relaxing.

image

image

I got in some workouts and Artemis is slowly getting better at hanging out with me while i workout in our little home gym.

I took her to the dog park for the first time this weekend but it was a muddy rainy mess so i didn’t take pictures.

I made blue apron mushroom and chard quiche, though i halved the amount of mushrooms they gave me and added red onion and put in an extra egg.

image

image

I really only expected one quiche and was super suprised when it was two mini quiche. I turned it into six meals!!!! All i need to do is add a small side or make my snack between meals a little bigger but man totally got my money’s worth on that meal.

Ok sleep time for me!!!!!

Oh for a romance update i have re-signed up for eharmony so in a few weeks you should look forward to some dating hijinks posts.

Night!!!

How was your weeknd?

A Mostly Satisfying Saturday

Well Saturday has come to an end, at least for me, there is still about 2 hours left for the rest of the pacific standard time zone.

I ran my 5k this morning

image

I bested my August 5k time by about 7 minutes!!! Woot woot! New 5k PR for me!

Then i was surfing the internet and found these cute medal/bib displays that i like and  I’m going to (at some point in the next few months) try and piece together my favorite parts into me own creation.

image

image

Once i get it figured out and built I’ll show you.

One day i would love something like this too:

image

image

I relaxed on the couch the rest of the day while my roommate made hudreds of cookies that i sampled and ate some cookie dough.

Then i knew it was time to workout again since i ate so much crap!

I did 20 minutes on the bike and 25 walking on the treadmill on an incline.

image

image

Then it was dinner time!

My roommate and i have decided to go out and party New Year’s Eve and i have decided that i have earned a night of not giving a shit. In the last 6 months my mom got remarried, though I’m happy for her and only want her to be happy, it was very difficult for me, and in the last 2 months i have had surgery, been sick now 3 times, been basically dumped my my best friend of 13 years, my other great friend that i had a ‘ dinner date’ with weekly moved to Indiana and as of  Friday night am now single. I have also come to the realization that my old running partner and I’s friendship was irrevocably changed when i moved back to Nevada and i don’t believe it will ever be the same. Life has sucked recently.

And i seem to be falling back into this i dont want to let myself cry, push all my feelings down pattern which has never lead to good things. It generally leads to self-damaging actions. Thankfully i seem to be using excercise as a crutch which is good.

Whew sorry to get heavy on you!

How do you deal with the difficult things?
How was your Saturday?

FYI, it is sunday morning and i am feeling much less pity party this morning. Still sad but working on moving on.
