4/3/12

Hello there! It’s a happy Tuesday in my world because I have tomorrow and Thursday off of work! Nothing like an extra weekend in the work week! J

Last night we didn’t do much… I got Nora and we went to dinner with Andi and her mom (I shared veggie fajitas with Nora and had some rice & beans) and then we went home and read some books and got ready and went to bed… I could not sleep AT ALL last night but I have still managed to survive the day without Starbucks! I had gotten into a really bad habit of drinking at least 1 vanilla soy latte nearly everyday and I’m trying to cut the caffeine out of my diet again. Much easier said than done when I’m averaging probably 4 hours or less of sleep a night L

Anyway…

TBD – cooking for 1 tonight but I am determined to cook something so I have lunches for the next few days as well!

My plan for this evening is to jog to the gym, do some upperbody weight training and then jog home. That’s my plan. I’m super tired and don’t really have the energy to do it but I’m realllly going to try to get my ass there!

Tomorrow I plan on working out again in the morning and then I’m going to see Titanic in 3D! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! We’re getting dressed up and having mimosas! If you know me at all, you know how absolutely obsessed I am with this movie and you understand my excitement lol. If you don’t know me, let me just tell you, I am OBSESSED with this movie! It’s actually the only girly-romantic movie that I like… and I like it hard.

Anyway, that’s about all I have for today… I’ll try to update tomorrow with a gleeful report of how great my workouts were tonight and tomorrow morning! J

Until then….

Annnd it’s Monday again! Funny how it always comes back around…

The weekend wasn’t as active as I had hoped… crappy weather on Saturday and a baby shower that I almost forgot about on Sunday put a damper on my plans of hiking with miss Nora.

It was a relatively uneventful weekend…

Friday after work I got Nora and we went home and made mushroom and black bean tacos for dinner and then played a bit and went to bed.

Saturday, miss Nora and I both slept in (needed!) and then we went grocery shopping and ran some errands then over to my parents’ house to watch the UK game. For dinner, I ate some pizza (bad, I know!). Obviously it was a cheese-less veggie pizza, but the crust was pretty oily. And I may or may not have had a few beers during the game. (emphasis on may)

Sunday, Nora and I got up, I made a big pitcher of juice for the week, my granola and some vegan banana cranberry bread! Then I cleaned house, did some laundry and we got ready and went to my cousin’s baby shower. No formal exercise but I did spend about 20 minutes catching/throwing toddlers and then Nora and I walked down to the park and I dominated some monkey bars… turns out, they’re pretty damn hard!

Last night for dinner I had a grilled Portobello burger on WW bun, grilled asparagus, cherry tomatoes and onions and some grilled pineapple for dessert! Needless to say, dinner was AMAZING. I LOVE grilling season so much!!

So I’m a little confused with my scale right now…. On Saturday morning I was really excited because it told me that I lost around 5 pounds last week! (putting me down to 226) So I was pumped and put it on facebook and blah blah… then I weighed myself yesterday morning and it said that I was at 237?! I have a hard time believing that I gained 11 pounds overnight. I’m hoping that there was just something wrong and I’ll try again later this week lol. Regardless, I know I’ve been eating a lot less (however, drinking more) and I did actually workout last week so… ? I don’t know. I stopped worrying too greatly about the number on the scale some time ago, but it is nice to see the numbers go down… and they really haven’t in a while. I’m ready to get back to the downward cycle.

I’m having trouble with… well, life in general right now. I mentioned briefly in my last post that I’m feeling really out-of-place with everything in life and I don’t feel like I fit in anywhere, and that is still completely accurate. I’ve been really depressed lately, especially as of the last week, and I don’t know what to do about it. My brain is craving a giant road trip with the windows down and music up… but I’m thinking that’s not going to happen for like…. Oh, I don’t know, 16 years? I want to go hiking/camping but fear that I may die in the wilderness so that’s probably not a good idea… I just don’t know what to do with my brain. I feel like being in northern Kentucky is clouding my mind and I need some freaking clarity! I have headaches nearly constantly and I’m really tired all of the time. I just want to feel normal and healthy again. One of these days….

So, after that uplifting and motivating schpeel… I believe it’s time for me to head out today.

Until tomorrow…
