Busy Bee.


Hello!

Last night a group of girls from work, my niece Taeler, and I all went to dinner at Red Robin and then went to see the “Twilight Breaking Dawn” movie.  I planned ahead for dinner because I didn’t want to fall off the wagon.  My niece and I decided to split the burger and fries, which gave us each about 5 fries (not to bad.)  Then we shared a dessert, which was delicious!  I enjoyed my food without having to go deep in the ground with my calories.  The movie was awesome too!  I just hate having to wait another year to see the final movie.

Today also started out very busy with lots of things on the agenda.  First thing was getting new tires on my car!  So grateful to have gotten that done and out of the way.  No more turning corners at 10mph in the rain because my car has lots of grip now J.  Then Aaron and I had a shopping adventure planned, which I know he wasn’t thrilled about.  We first went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch because I had been craving it and I figured it could be my cheat meal for the week.  It was tasty even though I ate way to many calories!  They asked us if we wanted to donate to “Make A Wish” and I told Aaron of course we have to!  Since my nephew Ramsey got to “Make A Wish” a while back it only seemed fair to help some other child get one J.  Then we proceeded on to Ikea to check out home stuff.  Let me say I love that store!  I could spend so much money there!  It was nice to get a feel for things Aaron likes for home ideas.  Then we went to the Clackamas mall, which was clearly a dumb idea around the Holiday’s!  It was crazy busy!  Thankfully Aaron only needed some dress shirts so we got them and got the heck out of there.



By the time we got most of the stuff done off our list it was already 4pm and I hadn’t got my run in for the day.  So I had to cancel some dinner plans with a friend and I was really bummed about that.  She was having a small group of girls come over to hear about her weight loss and healthy lifestyle change.  I’d been looking forward to it for a few weeks.  I plan to catch up with her over lunch sometime soon.

Since I was home for the night and it was going to be dark soon Aaron and I headed out on our run.  Today was Week 6 Day 3 (Couch to 5k) and I had to run 25 minutes.  I kicked ass and it felt so good to have Aaron by my side.  I did realize that my ankle socks weren’t the best for running though.  I have a rub burn on my ankle that hurts pretty bad L.  After that we both grabbed some protein packed dinner and headed home to watch “Ghost Busters II.”  Yeah we are that cool!

Thursday Rants.


Hello!

Today was a slow day at work for which I am very thankful.  The first 3 days of the work week were busy and exhausting.  Plus since starting Monday out going back to no soda I’ve had awful headaches each and every day!  Oh and did I mention my sleep has been crappy too!  Hopefully the headaches and the sleep get better ASAP!  I did get to get my car vacuumed out on lunch today and that made me happy.

This evening I ran (Couch to 5k Week 6 Day 2) and it was a bit of a struggle.  I seem to have such better runs on weekends when I get to wake up refreshed and run versus having to run after working a full day.  My Mom made an awesome steak dinner for after my run so that was awesome.  Lots of protein!
