Dreaded Workout

May 25, 2012

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for the weekend. I only have tomorrow off from work, but I’ll gladly take it. It’s just been one of those weeks where I feel really tired and worn out. Because of this I’ve turned to my trusty vice…coffee.

Last night we had a cook out for our friend Jimmy’s b-day and I had way too much great food, if that’s possible, and could really feel it this morning. I’m not complaining though, I love a good burger.

Travis was manning the grill and everything turned out great! His helper wasn’t much help, but she provided some entertainment by begging.

This morning I knew a workout would be beneficial so once I had taken Harper on a walk I hit the gym. To be honest I wasn’t fully into it, but I finished 45 minutes of cardio and did some ab work before calling it a day.

I use to love doing abs, but now it’s one of my most dreaded workouts. I would rather do sprints and squats than a plank or crunch. Clearly this means I need more core work, but it’s just one of those body parts I don’t like working out. There are enough flowy tops out there to keep me happy with my mid section;)

Tomorrow is going to be a scorcher so I’m getting my run in early and taking advantage of my only day off this weekend. I see air conditioning in my future, but I’m thinking Travis has a hike on his mind so we’ll see.

What are you doing this weekend?

Time Flies

May 23, 2012

Time sure does fly when you’re having fun! We had a pretty busy weekend and past few days, but now I’m back to normal life and can focus on my long list of to-do’s before the weekend hits. I was pretty busy with having girls’ night and spring cleaning the house but made a major flop and didn’t document any of it. Major fail, but tomorrow we have fun plans I’ll be sure to share and Memorial Day weekend is sure to have lots of food to take pictures of;)

Speaking of Memorial Day, I can’t believe it’s already the end of May. I could feel it this morning when I went on my run with Harper. The humidity was on the rise and I was drenched in sweat by the end of the workout. Gross, but productive.

Another event that kept me busy this week, GRADUATION!!!

I can finally send in my paperwork and get the ball rolling to take my boards to the a Licensed Esthetician!!!!!

I am so thankful for all the support I’ve received from my family and friends and look forward to whats to come.

Now that I’ve finally got all my paperwork in order this also means I’ll be spending my free time making sure I’m caught up on all the fun stuff I’ll be tested on;) I never thought this day would come after 13 long months, but it’s here and I’m ready!

Late Night Baking Fail

May 16, 2012

I have eaten my weight in berries over the past few days. It’s the season for berries which means they’re on sale and I can buy tons for way less. This also means that I must eat them pretty fast to avoid fuzzy berries, but that’s no biggie for this household;) After BodyPump I made [...]

My Lactose Experiment…Update

May 15, 2012

Over the past week and some days I’ve had a harder time giving up dairy and anything that may contain my new-found nemesis. But actually, turns out not so new, since my mom informed me, this weekend, that I had a lactose intolerance the first 18 months of my life. Nice. That would probably been [...]

Weekend

May 14, 2012

Happy Monday! My weekend was family filled and ended with a nice cup of Sleepytime around 10 last night. My family was in town for Mother’s Day and even though it was rainy and dreary all weekend we still had a great time spent with each other. Friday was a pretty low key night grabbing [...]

Girly Things Thursday: Spring Favorites

May 10, 2012

I love Spring weather(minus the pollen) and all the beautiful colors it brings with the flowers in full bloom. Putting the constant sneezing and watery eyes I get from this season I also enjoy breaking out dresses and short sleeves. I have a few other favorites this time of year that bring out the “girly” [...]

WIAW and My Lactose Experiment

May 2, 2012

YAY for WIAW!!! Yesterday was full of grains and beans for this girl. For breakfast I heated up some leftover oats from a few days ago with some almond milk and a ton of strawberries that I needed to use up before they started getting fuzzy. I love a good sale on berries, but the [...]

Super Surprised

May 1, 2012

Last week I was so lazy. All by choice, but lazy. I didn’t workout, turn on my computer, cook, nothing. It felt great! I enjoyed my few days of nothing, but came back to reality when the fridge was bare and my energy levels were getting low from no exercise. When I woke up Saturday [...]
