Sleepy family

Today we took the dogs to the dog park and there was a semi-aggressive dog there. He kept growling at Stubbs so we left. He had the hair on his back stand up and tail straight up. He was showing all the signs of a dog that in my opinion should not be brought to a dog park. He was walking up to them and growling. My dogs didn't voluntarily go near him after the first growl. We were there alone for about 15 minutes so the dogs did get a nice walk in. They seem to fail to understand.."You are off the leash..GO RUN!"

I am really happy Stubbs and Kaylee have bonded. They are actively playing now and seem to get along great. Once in a while I stop the playing when it gets a bit rough for the house, but overall things are working out great.

Eric and I also went to get his haircut and grocery shopping. To be quite honest we are both beat and so are the dogs. I am thinking its the heat. It is like 95 degrees out today.

Oh and my car broke on Friday! I have a rental now and I am anxiously awaiting to drive a stick shift again. Automatics truly do suck.

I think I need to start bringing snacks to work. They had ice cream cake today. I am starving and it took every bit of resistance I had to not take a piece of that cake. Only because I am hungry. I like sweets and stuff, but I can resist cake when I'm not starving. Hell I can resist mostly anything when I'm not hungry.

My lunch was a Turkey Sandwich with 1 slice of Lacy Swiss cheese on 90 calorie wheat bread with a cup of soup. Is that not enough? Why am I always so damn hungry? Thank goodness I am starting Good Measure Meals. They tend to hold me over a bit longer and come with a snack. I am not really a night snacker. I barely eat at home. I am most hungry before 6pm. I can usually skip dinner too if I have a big lunch.

I do hate going to the gym hungry. Even though my workout usually makes the hungry feeling go away for bit. Today is Shoulder, Chest, and Tricep day!

IPhone os4 is so much faster! Even on my slow as 3G.

Getting healthy...again!!

Eric and I started going to the gym together on Saturday. I've gain like 6lbs and it is driving me crazy, so I am really excited because this will keep me motivated. I started taking some supplements to help me along the way.

Green Tea Extract
Cayenne Pepper Extract
CLA
Apple Cider Vinegar
Fish Oils
Multivitamin

Each of them is pretty natural. The CLA is found in meat and cheese's but you can't get as much from food. This one I am definitely skeptical about, but I decided to give it a shot.

I'll know if they work or not because I've been doing this a year or so and can't get below a certain weight. If these get me over that...YAY.

Also, I am going to start on Good Measure Meals again. I really like the food and it always helps to get the weight to start coming off.

Blah boring meeting.

Sick of being sick!

I already have an older iPhone 3g, but I really want to buy a Nexus One. Decisions, decisions...

I have too many emails!!! 1,663 new unread messages.

I love Big Bang Theory.

Yay. Who has the best boyfriend ever? I do!

Day 1 without Joey. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it the whole week. :(

Mhmmm cheating

On my way with Joey to pickup his new car.

Ditto to yesterdays update....sloooow day. Maybe I just don't want to work this week.

World of Warcraft Account Cancelled

It's true! I canceled my WoW account again. I got bored with it and stopped playing. I am not going to pay $15 a month for a game I am not playing. I am currently dabbling with Aion. Let's see how long that can keep my attention. Aion is so gorgeous. I mean I really love playing it cause its so pretty. I'm sure i'll start getting ganked and eventually hate that too, but we'll see. I hope I can get 6 months out of it.



Non-Gaming Stuffs...

I have been going to the gym still. I have not slacked there. I did cut it down to 3 days a week and on Saturdays I can do any cardio type thing I want. Walking Kaylee, swimming, DDR2, treadmill, etc. I just want to make sure I get 3 days a week w/ STR + Cardio at the gym.

Eric and I are trying to plan a vacation in March. My suggestion....Las Vegas! I need to renew my passport and he doesn't have one so we have to stay in the USA. We have been to Disney 3x in the last 2 years. I figured it was time for a change. Vegas has tons of shows and shopping along with gambling. I don't gamble and neither does he, but I'm sure we can find plenty to do.

So pretty this morning.

Feeling great...

Finally working out is making me feel great. I 100% blame bad personal trainers for my lack of understanding of how great you can feel after working out. They always pushed me beyond my limits so instead of feeling great I felt like the walking dead. I was always in so much pain and so tired I ended up quitting.

Now my personal trainer is my mom. No she is not here, but she setup my routine. I use machines and try to be really careful about form. I write down everything I do and report back. I even report my heart rate to her. Oh and man can I sleep like a rock. By 10pm all energy is gone and I just pass out and don't even toss and turn anything. I just wake up to my alarm thinking wow I don't even remember falling asleep.

All in all lately I have been feeling pretty great!

Good Morning Monday!

Jackie and Nora

Accomplished

So I feel really great today. My whole body is a bit sore. My legs are still too sore in my opinion and I now am 100% they were over worked. They are are sore as they were on Monday and it's Thursday. I did legs on Sunday! Trainers are bad in my opinion. Do they think...Hey if I cripple this person they will Totally pay for training?

I've been eating pretty healthy this week. Today however I got a Starbucks coffee bottle and saw 170 calories which is not too shabby. Then after I finished the whole bottle I saw there were 2 servers per bottle. 340 calories! UGH!!!! That is more than my breakfast and my lunch. What's done is done, but I was fooled and will always remember not to skim labels READ them.

I feel great today. Yes, my legs do still hurt like hell, but now so does the rest of my body. :)

It is too bright at my desk

My legs...

I worked out with a trainer on Sunday. I think she pushed me a bit too hard since my legs are supposed to hurt, but crawling down the stairs this morning means it is possible it's a bit too much. I like the pain from working out, but come on now.

Another thing I have changed this week is eating fresh food > processed food. Instead of a Lean Cuisine for lunch I have chicken I grilled last night with some cauliflower. I also did not eat a Lean Pocket for breakfast. I made myself some egg beaters with turkey sausage and an english muffin. I hope reducing the sodium and processed foods + working out will push me out of the plateau.

Today I will be going to the gym and just doing cardio to warm up my legs. Then I am totally hitting the hot tub to relax my sore sore muscles.

Rawr I finally went. :)

Lazy

I have always wanted to be that person that loves going to the gym. Like if I miss a day of working out I feel terrible. I like the gym, I feel good when I go, but I still do not look forward to it. How do you become "that person". Does it happen over time? Have I never given it a chance? Am I just lazy?

I decided I was going to go to the gym today. I packed my gym bag and BAM left it at home. How the hell am I supposed to get the motivation to go home and then leave again and head to the gym. I don't want to leave once I get home. I want to sit in front of my computer or TV and relax. Cally had a great comment on Facebook shopping instead. Now I am thinking I will go to the store and buy a cute gym outfit. After I purchase it...I will change into my brand new workout clothes and head to the gym. I can just leave my work clothes in the car.

I cannot believe I am this lazy and UNmotivated to work out. I would rather spend money then just pick up my gym bag at my house.

Long boring meetings are long and boring FYI.

Lunch..Soup and Half Sandwich

Hmmm

I am not really a "blogger", but everybody else it doing it so i'll give it a go. Yup...don't really have much to say when not in person or on the phone. I mean I created a twitter account used that like twice. I barely even make Facebook updates. This is a very positive start to blogging --> complaining about it. That is probably the reason I don't make updates. I feel like they would just be complaints and I don't want to come off as miserable. Whelp until I have something more interesting to say......
