Day 52 - It's a stair day!

Hi there, Day 52

Well, today was fantastic. A little sore from yesterdays workout, but felt good enough to go run some stairs. Kerry and I ran to the stairs and did a few sets. Not sure how many? 2.5?  I think. In total it was 3.5 K. So we ran to the stairs, did them and ran back. Great workout, but my legs would not move any more.  Food was good today too.

For dinner I made my fave pasta dish ever! My Mom came over to drop off the dogs and stayed. I debated the entire way home whether or not to go buy the stuff to make it. Mainly because it is soo good, all portion control goes out the window. Thank God my Mom was here to help eat some. I had two servings though. Oops. Its just soo good! What I have wanted to do since about 630 was eat the rest. I have really struggling and have forced myself not to eat the rest and have it tomorrow for dinner. Ahhhhhhh!!! Torture.

I'm debating on a run/stairs tomorrow. I think I'll just play it by ear and hit up Hot Flow on my way home. Till tomorrow...

Day 51 - Best run yet. Proud.

Ola, Day 51!!!

Today we took a break from a lunch run/stairs and we went to Kingsway. I had Pad Thai....I know, I know. BUT, I ate about half instead of the entire thing which is typical of my past eating habits. I am not proud of this, but this is all I ate all day ( not good either, I know). I was super busy at work this am and didn't do my shake which led me to tell myself I could eat out...NO! Lisa!  I will make time tomorrow and won't eat out. For dinner I had 5 pergoies. Hahaha. It was a late dinner and didn't feel like getting into a big cook fest. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Yep. REGARDLESS.....

I went to Megan's house after work, we visited and then went for a run. I was a little nervous running with her. Megan is quite fit and runs a lot. I should probably stop that negative thought process and stop mentioning to people that " I suck at running, " or " I'm really not all that good," etc etc. We ran 6.3 K. That included the hill near Dawson Bridge and the stairs in the river valley. Pretty impressive. We breaked after the hill for a bit and after the stairs...other than that, straight running. I must say, I really surprised myself and am really proud. It wasn't easy, but it is sooooo amazing to be able to run like that and not want to stop for breaksall the time. YAY Lisa! : ) Did I mention Megan talked the entire time? How do people do that? I can barely breath let alone talk!

I am using the app MapmyRun and it is amazing. Tells me everything I need to know and keeps record of my runs. Keeps tabs so I can see records being beaten or increased pace, time, distance etc. Pretty cool.

That is all for now...Till tomorrow.... Oh yes, we planning to run to the stairs and then do them a few times....my legs will be jello by Friday, I'm sure of it. : )

Day 50 -Devon Days.

Hi Day 50.


This past weekend was Devon Days, I just love love love Devon Days and always have. I LOVE the fact that most of my friends from high school still all hang out together. Devon Days is just another reason for us to all get together, catch up and drink. Friday night we had the funeral for Rose, which was beautiful. We then all went to Flo Pie, had some drinks, laughed and decided what to do. A few of us went down to the park and played catch, had beers and chilled. We then ended up at friends house and then to Pals. Always a good time, especially when my parents were drunk and dancing till 2 am. Ha.

Saturday morning was the parade. Last year, I was seriously intoxicated at 10 am with Bonnie in the clothes from the night before....we clearly hadn't sobered up. We watched the parade, embarrassed my Mom and walked to Flo Pie for caesar (How do you spell that word?) with Tom, Dillon and Gar, who stayed at the Key West (strange) and then bought really ugly earings for an inflated price. I was sober this years parade....it was long and boring. Soooo much different sober. ; ) Saturday night was good ol Beer Gardens. Past years there have been riots that include pepper spray, chairs being thrown and moms being punched out. Most years at least 7 of our friends end up in the drunk tank and we're all trying to find them in the am. I think at 29 years old, we've tamed down a little bit and everyone goes to beer gardens and feels old. Just plain old. We still have fun and everyone kept it under control. No one in the drunk tank....Thank God. Till next year. ; )


So I am guilty. I missed a few days over the weekend and yesterday. I wasn't too too bad on the weekend for eating, if I ate something bad, it was most likely because that was all I ate all day. Time was a factor, I felt I didn't have time to eat. I did not run or do anything but played catch and ran a lot from the ball being thrown over my head, KELLIE! So a little bit activity on the Friday. I had my cheat meal Sunday and had lasagna from Flo Pie.

I started running and Body by Vi again yesterday. Run and stairs. Its 4K total and that includes the stairs. I plan on Hot Flow tomorrow and most likely a run/stairs again too.

I am still feeling good, maintaining the 13 lbs loss...and several inches. I know I could be doing better, but I am not feeling like I am lacking anything so I'd rather just lose slowly and be happy in the process. Funny story, I agreed to play in a charity Beach Volleyball tourny. I haven't played since Jr. High. Jon, Jay, Trav and I  are on a team. This should be interesting. Beer Gardens and an after party. Ahhhh! Should be a good weekend...AGAIN. : )

Should be back to daily blogs. : ) Till tomorrow...

Day 45 - HOT YOGA - What I LOVE.

Day 45.

Today was extra active! I did Hot Yoga at 5, then went to the dog park and then did 3.5 K run. I was hurting. My legs were like Jello, especially after the yoga class. Followed Body by Vi and had about a 600 calorie dinner! Alrighty, what I love about yoga.

What I LOVE: 

1. Sweating. Anyone that has ever gone, knows that you will never ever in your life sweat as much as you do in a Hot yoga class. I think this is the number one reason I go. I LOVE that feeling.

2. Nice skin. The sweat makes your skin soft as a baby's bum. Love it. My skin is amazing from hot yoga.

3. Scale tells me I weight less. Haha. I love weighing myself after yoga too. Always weigh a few pounds less.

4. Water intake. I LOVE water. I do not drink anything else but water, oh and coffee and sometimes vodka with my water. I love how yoga forces me to have insane water intake the day of.

5. Lean. Goodness. Yoga makes you lean. Trust me. I've noticed tons of toning in my legs and arms from yoga, its awesome.

6. Strong. When I first started yoga I was never able to hover after the plank....no upper body strenth. I hover like a mo fo now. Its awesome to feel so strong.

7. Flexibility. I am one flexible individual to begin with, but yoga is making me even more so. I am an average yogaer (is that a word?) but because I am so flexible I look WAAAAAY better cause I can do all the flexy moves. Hahaha. Its fun to get more and more flexible each time.

8. Improving poses. I love getting better at poses and then doing the advanced ones. Its a fun challenge.

9. Running. My running is way better when I do yoga. Helps me with breathing.

10. You just feel good. All round a way better feeling, you feel energetic, healthy, fit, relaxed, flexible and awesome.

So, that is about all I can think of right now...I know there is supposed to be this spirituality and sense of being and calmness and letting go, welllll... I'm not quite there yet. I like yoga but I'm not one for meditation etc.

See! I love just as much as I hate. : ) I forgot laundry on my HATE one. Always gotta do laundry.

I have a funeral, so tomorrow will most likely be a rest day. RIP Rose.

 Devon Days this weekend, but plans to run in Devon while I'm there. This weekend will NOT be a repeat of last years. My poor mother. : ) Till tomorrow...

Day 44 - HOT YOGA. What I HATE. LOVE is tomorrow.

Hello Day 44...

Today was a fantastic day. I fit into my size 4 dress pants! BOOM! Chris and Scarlett said they were tight...well ya! I barely fit into them two weeks ago. Okay okay, so they JUST fit. Hahaha. I also had a friend at work tell me I look good and skinny! Oh so nice. : ) Not sure I'd use the word skinny but I'll take that. Followed Body by Vi and hit up Hot Yoga. Now, lets talk about my love hate relationship with Yoga. Lets start with what I hate.

HATE about Yoga:


1. You gotta prep. You're not supposed to have a meal 2-3 hours before and you need to drink lots and lots of water. Sucks if you are having an off day, forget to drink lots or don't go right after work. I was however informed the other day that I am a bit crazy for thinking I need to follow those rules so strictly. Haha.

2. Snoring. Are you fucking kidding me? Anyone that knows me, knows that I CANNOT STAND the sound of snoring. I ALWAYS end up beside the dummy that is snoring. This is not your bedroom where you can NAP....for GOD SAKES. Also, you should probably be pretty embarrassed.

3. Heavy Breathing. I know, you think, same thing. YEP! Basically is! WHY are you breathing so heavy in Shavasana? The instructor says, "natural breath." If that is your natural breath, I seriously feel sorry for you and you should probably see a doctor. Just sayin.

4. Smelly feet. My Yoga studio smells amazing! There is never a sweat smell ever! What there is though, is people will grossly disgusting smelly feet. Sick. Remember how close people are to your feet. For real.

5. 18 year olds. Oh, hey I'm gonna show up to Hot Yoga wearing BASICALLY nothing and show off my teen body that doesn't even begin to show curves cause I just hit puberty last week.. You wait till you turn 25 honey.... you won't be wearing that to Yoga no more... Hahahaha, alright, I'm just jealous. The girls that are 25 plus and rock that shit...good for you. I want to be like that one day. : )


7. Immediately home. After Hot Yoga, there is no heading to the grocery store after, doing a little shopping, meeting a friend for dinner. Soaked in sweat like you just got out of the shower, is not the ideal situation for after workout activities...soooooo straight home I come and straight to the shower I go. Thats kinda annoying.

Okay, can't think of anything else that I HATE. This is too long already so I'm going to do love tomorrow.

I have lots of LOVE too....so don't think I'm all negative quite yet. ; )

Till tomorrow...

Day 43 - Sick and Boring.

Hey Day 42...

Followed Body by Vi and had about a 500 calorie dinner. I developed a bad bad headache at work and was not feeling well so I did not go to Hot Flow. I came home and slept for a bit. I still do not feel well at all, perhaps just lack of sleep. At least I ate good... : )

Till tomorrow...

Why isn't it nice out? and Why are my property taxes now $215 a month. : (

Day 42 - Putting the Pieces Together...

Day 42.

2 inches off waist, 1 off hips. Still down 10 lbs. Mini update.

I woke up and chilled on my deck with my coffee ( my favourite thing to do on weekends). I went for a run (about 4K) and then watered my flowers, trees and shrubs. I also planted flowers for the first time in my life....hope I did it right. I also got to spend the morning with Carmen as she tried to put the pieces together from last night. That is easily one of my favourite things to do after a night of drinking. Needless to say, I was "putting the pieces together" Sunday. Our friend Taryn was down from Calgary...things always get crazy when she gets to town. We all went out for a late lunch, caught up, put more pieces together and had lots of laughs. At Original Joes I ate a veggie burger (no top bun) , soup and vegetables. Went out again for dinner and had sushi. Mmmmm. I was also propositioned to go for Marble Slab ( my fave) and declined. Good for me! YAY!

I plan to start Hot Flow again tomorrow, I really slacked in that area last week. Dog park too! Blue and Charlie won't stop asking to go. ; )

Tomorrow at work shall be interesting..... ; )
Till tomorrow...

Day 41 - HOLY MOLY.

Day 41

Missed writing yesterday cause this blog site wasn't working.

First off, I am WAY to old to drink like I did Saturday. I could barely move yesterday. Ugh. I did not do anything active, I also, however, barely ate anything. I had some chicken and salad at Justin's birthday BBQ and ice cream cake of course. So another rest day yesterday?! Yep! Guess so!

I will post this photo again....because it was just so damn true!

Day 42 will be later....after I go for my run.... : )

Day 40 - Ever wonder what day I'll go up to? I do...

Why hello, Day 40...

Today was fantastic. We went for pedicures, compliments of my ex, who bought me a couples pedicure for my birthday last year. Got myself an oil change and hit up Famoso for lunch. San Andreas of course. Steph and I relaxed a bit and went for a 5K run. It was awesome. Felt so good and much easier than last time. 

The plan is to go again tomorrow. I'm going to make us a Body by Vi shake and then fill myself with alcohol to make up for all the calories I just lost. Smart. Not much else to report but FEELING AMAZING.

Till tomorrow my little friends...

Day 39 - Ooops, missed a few days...

Oops, I missed a few days. Excuse? Don't got one. Bottom line, things have been going good. Run and stairs on Wednesday, slo pitch Thursday and rest day Friday (today). At Slo pitch I got nailed in the back of the head with a ball. Some guy from our team was throwing it in from a home run and I was walking in as the inning was done. Man, that hurt. Some minor headaches today throughout the day, but obviously nothing serious. I haven't been feeling super good this week, and the plan was Friday run with Steph. We changed that plan as the weather went "not so good" and I still wasn't feeling amazing. We drank wine instead. Ha! Steph and I ARE running 5K tomorrow am and will be doing Body by Vi. I found a new shake that is amazing.Trop 50 1/2 cup, then 1/2 cup of water, with shake mix, frozen mango and ice! Mmmmm.

So, in saying all this, I am feeling really good. My jeans are big, baggy and kinda look dumb. People even mentioned today that my jeans were too big...YAY! As well, (this may sound crazy to some), but when I was at H & M today trying on some stuff, they have those mirrors where you can see yourself from behind. I used to HATE looking, HATE it. I remember looking the last time and thinking. "Wow, Lisa, you are fat. You need to fix this." Well, today when I did that I noticed a HUGE difference. I feel amazing. I still would like to lose a lot more, and get toned up in the stomach area and get a bigger ass. ; ) For real. I want a bubble butt.

Not much else to report...I will try to blog daily again...perhaps a drunk blog tomorrow? That could be fun!!!

Till tomorrow, or the next day....

Day 36 - The ecards are endless for today...

Hi,

Ugh, again, I am getting sick of writing. I better start doing something more exciting. My partner is gone this week at work and I wasn't at work yesterday. Well...you should see the ridiculous requests I got today. 20 or so and each inmate thinks its important to put in at least 3 requests, juuuuuust in case I didn't get their first 2. Really? I told one guy today that him putting in 4 requests asking for the same thing in 4 different ways makes me come see him last....he didn't like that. Meh.


Day was pretty average...went for a run and stairs with Kerry at lunch. I thought I was going to puke at the top of the stairs but held it together. Kerry, Steph and I went for dinner to Earls. I had a salad and a spicy caesar of course. We then hit up Rundle park on the northside, almost got jumped a few times, people drinking beer down by the river, witnessed cops staking the place out, saw stray dogs, northside people trying to play tennis, you know, the usual. I like it most when we see inmates on the street and especially the ones that I just recently pissed off and am terrified of. Anywho, good evening with my best gals. I had to ditch them early to come home and water...thats annoying. " Its called pride of ownership" says my Dad.

Tomorrow I will run, do stairs and do Yoga.

Till tomorrow...

Day 35 - Sick day and a cheat day ALL IN ONE!

Day 35, 

Hello!!!!! Today I was sick. I have heat rash and am super burnt from the weekend. My Dad came over to finish some stuff up in the yard, I helped where I could. I went to Devon to drop off the dogs and hit up Flo Pie, had my cheat meal and shared a pizza with my parents. Mmmm. Back to my runs tomorrow at lunch! Hot Flow at 5!

These are getting boring again, I know, I know...

Till Tomorrow...

Day 34 - Yard work again and Mothers day.

Hello, Day 34

Woke up today, had my coffee and about 1/2 a cup of bbq'd potatos from yesterday. Parents came over and we went shopping...AGAIN. Came back and had an hour to start some stuff. We went to CHOP for brunch at 1. I had an open faced omelete with avocado, feta and tomatoes. It came with a few cut up red potatoes. Pretty decent.

After another 5 hours of yard work and a severe burn I had a left over steak skewer and some salad. Not going for a run, the heat and yard work has done me in. I will run tomorrow at lunch. : )

That is all my friends, nothing much else to say. : )

Till tomorrow...

Day 33 - YARD work workout and rest.

Day 33.

Well my lovely parents took the time to come over today and help me work on my yard. Anyone that has seen my parents yard understands how beautiful their work is and can only imagine that ideas they may have for my place! YAY! While they were here I got a lovely message from a girl I went to high school with, Nicole Giles - Van Dolder. She mentioned how she loves the blog and even the font. ; ) She had a lot of kind words, encouragement and understanding. Again, it is so nice to hear from people that read the blog and make it  positive (which is the point).  Unfortunately, some people only like to comment when it is something negative. Thanks Nicole, that meant a lot.  : )

So my parents got here at 11:30 am and we headed to Home Depot. I have a 75 dollar gift card for there so we used that up and then some. We edged the front along the driveway and the front area with shrubs. We got some black lava rock to put in the front to be maintenance free. I mowed the lawn once to "thatch"? and then to mow...tough work. We also leveled out my trees in the back and cleaned up a few other areas. 6.5 hours. Wow. I then BBQ'd them dinner for their hard work. Thank Ma and Pa!

I am exhausted and dirty as hell. I think the work done today was enough of a work out and there is no way I have enough energy right now to go running. For food today, I had half of a turkey sandwich from Good Earth cafe and then a beef skewer with some potatoes for dinner.

Tomorrow is another yard work day and mothers day brunch. I hope to fit in a run tomorrow evening.. not as much hard work tomorrow.

Till tomorrow...

Day 32 - "Unless you puke, faint or die, keep going."

Day 32.  Let me start off by saying, WOW 105 reads to yesterdays blog. Impressive. I also must clarify something. I am not hating on anyone or thinking people are criticizing me in any way. I do not think people are malicious in their annoyingess ( I know, not a word) or trying to bring me down. I was just simply saying its sometimes annoying when that is all people want to talk about and its the same question everyday. Regardless, today was interesting as I had so many people come up to me to talk about yesterdays blog. Officers, nurses, admin people, it was pretty cool. So thank you to everyone AGAIN who reads it. I appreciate the likes and comments. Glad I can make these blogs entertaining at times. I've also had some feedback from some people, not to name names, Jon Clark and Kelly Burke, who hate my font. I am always one to try and see the other side of things, but I am telling you, I absolutely cannot wrap my brain around how this font would be tough to read or why people would have such hate towards it. Hahaha. Regardless it is the content, not the font. Lets focus on the content.

 I loved the words my brother wrote today when discussing his hate for the font - " I love your writing, it's engaging, funny, and really connects with what a lot of people are feeling and thinking..." I have always admired my brothers natural ability to write, draw, paint and play music so effortlessly, so to hear that from him was pretty cool. Thank Kel.

Today was full of should I run, shouldn't I run... I had a good week, Mon, Tues, Wed and Thursday I was active, and two days I did both run and yoga ( I think). It was mother f'ing windy out today and COLD. I contemplated a run at lunch but instead opted out when Scarlett texted me saying it was windy and freezing. I sat downstairs at lunch and had nice, non annoying conversations. My friend Keba, one of the ones asking a million questions....and she knows it ; ) says she is going to start Body by Vi soon too and get a gym membership. YAY Keba!  I tried the Pistashio shake today, it was okay, not a favourite though. After work I had planned on Hot Flow but decided to just come home instead.  I had a cup of baked sweet potato fries, and a turkey patty with avocado for dinner. As I began cleaning my house and working up a sweat I figured, well perhaps this will be a rest day. Once I was done cleaning I sat on the couch and had an instant feeling of guilt. I checked out the weather network... 15 C at 8:45 pm! WHAAAAT? Instantly got off the couch, changed and did a quick 3.5 K. I will admit, it was tough! I struggled, but I don't think I have ever pushed myself that much before. It may have to do with this photo I saw on FB just prior to leaving...

Soooo, potential rest day turned into a beautiful evening run! YAY! Yard work tomorrow and a plan for a run...Till tomorrow... ( I won't call you mother fuckers today) ; )

Day 31 - Life, motherfucker. Life.

Oh, hi Day 31.

Did not do Body by Vi today. I got to work, drank my coffee and had to leave for a telehealth conference. After that I went for lunch with my dear friend Kate. We went to Colonel Mustards on 124th, we both got tomato soup and shared a Cobb sandwich. Not super healthy, but not even close to being bad! : )

I went to a Lindsay Hot Flow class (hard) and came home to eat a salad. Pretty uneventful day...

Side note: 
People are still obsessed with my fitness and eating and I have a feeling its not from the "I'm so proud of you" side of things. I don't think it is malicious either, but maybe just a curiosity thing, or because they can't think of anything else to talk to me about, I don't know. I am usually gone for a run at lunch (Thank God) but should I come back, change and go back to the lunch table with my popcorn. WHOA! It never ends.... " You still doing your shakes?" " Popcorn? That's an interesting lunch" " That's it?" "Have you had your shake yet?" So not only is there THAT, but today when I came back from lunch I sat at the table for a bit and the first thing out of everyone mouth is " Oh, no run today?" "Too cold?" " Are you training for something? a marathon?" Its a fucking rest day. How bout that. How bout you stop asking and go on eating your KFC (Scarlett will like that one). I really don't get it. Maybe I should analyze this a bit more and inquire if its only when it comes from specific people or if its the repetitive questioning and annoyance. I don't know really. Perhaps it is the tone in which people comment or ask. What I do appreciate though is David Lawerence who is so supportive and just sits back and say " Good for you. It feels good to run, doesn't it? Its like a drug hey? You're doing good"  Those comments are nice, helpful and endearing. The wise words of old people eh? ; ) Its to the point that I don't want to sit downstairs and eat because I will most likely have to explain my reason for not running or barely eating anything at that hour. Guess its just more motivation to keep running.

Till tomorrow, motherfuckers

Day 30 - Weigh in. ; )

Hello Day 30! Wow! I wish I could give everyone a weigh in...sadly, my scale is STILL broken. Haha.

Bottom line is I weighed myself on Thursday and had lost 10 lbs. I don't typically like to judge how I am doing based on my weight as I gain muscle pretty quick. I do it based on how my clothing fits. So what I did yesterday was tried on my shorts for the summer. They fit great, some too big. : ) I feel my legs are more toned, as well as my arms. Still working on the stomach but I feel it slightly shrinking slowly as well. I will give myself 90 days before I really start looking for a massive change. That will be just in time for summer! : )

Today I followed my Body by Vi but realized I am getting sick of the same shakes everyday. I went today to get other stuff to try different recipes. Tomorrow I will have a pistachio shake and pomegranate blueberry. I ran 3.5 K but did the Hotel Mac stairs twice. I run the first set and then skip each step (lunges) up the second time. I also hit up the 5pm Hot Flow class. For dinner I had a turkey burger patty with fat free cheese and a quarter of an avocado. I also baked a cup of sweet potato fries. I was FULL.

Tomorrow is a rest day for running but will be going to Hot Flow and Slo-pitch.

Till tomorrow...

Day 29 - 5K and a cheat meal.

Day 29.

Well I had a super fabulous run today. I took a different route and made it a bit longer to make it a 5K...plus stairs. I really impressed myself in how far I can run without stopping....all the way to the top of the first mini set of stairs, I then walk from Hotel Mac to Jasper Ave and run the rest of the way back. So fun! I intend to do it again tomorrow. : )

I hit up the driving range with Carmen and her friend. Ellerslie driving range is BRUTAL. Low budget shiat happening there. Ugh. Well at least that is what I am blaming my shitty hits on. I think I need to let my hands recover from the debauchery it endured Sunday and Monday. Ok, I just continue to make excuses.

Here is where I will make an excuse for why I ate BP's pasta. My good friend Justin loves to eat out and eat shit food. I haven't eaten out with him in over a month so thought I should use my cheat meal with him. : ) This means no more cheating at all till Monday at least. Ahh!! I didn't finish the dish. Usually I kill it.

Anyway, I plan to run tomorrow, perhaps the 5 K again, I figure why not as I can clearly do it. : ) I will also go to Hot Flow...I skipped it today to go to the range. Golf is still active. Have I mentioned that it hurts to laugh and cough? It feels like someone has punched me repeatedly in the ribs and my back and arms are aching  A LOT. So Hot Flow Yoga tomorrow will be essential.

For the rest of the week I'd plan to run Thursday and am playing slo-pitch that evening as well... Friday will just be a yoga day...maybe a run if I'm feeling up to it! Saturday I am doing yard work with my parents, but will hopefully fit in a run before they get here.

Things are on track workout wise, still struggling with the food thing. I crave eating out now after my weekend episode. Frick. Groceries tomorrow and plan to try out a few new shake recipes.

Till Tomorrow...

Day 28 - Back on and feeling good!

Hello Day 28...

Today I followed my Body by Vi and ran and did stairs at lunch. Run went really well...again, super exciting to see how much better I've got. Can't wait to try a new route and see if I can do that one too! I had a salad for dinner as I wasn't very hungry. I went to the driving range after work and hit two baskets of balls. I lost my glove on the course yesterday and so my hands are mangled. I quickly went to Canadian Tire and got another glove where the 15 year old boy helped me pick one out. Nice to see there are still kids out there with work ethic. He then had to escort me up to the check out ( they were locked up). People steal golf gloves? Weird.

Soo my back is killing me from golf, but feels good. Run/Stairs and Hot Flow tomorrow I think unless I decide to hit up the range again...we'll see how my hands feel. I must say, I am improving my golf game, surely it must be better than this game in 2008, quite a few beers in, and barefoot and my cousin being a dink.

Check out this link for a good laugh.

Till tomorrow my friends...

Day 27 - Good and VERY BAD.

Sooo, my last post was Wednesday and things kinda went downhill from there. Thursday I did Hot Flow with Lindsay which was killer and food intake was good. Friday I took the day off and had planned on a run but didn't have time. I went to my friend Jonna's where my other friend Steph was getting her hair done. I weighed myself there. WAIT for it!!!!..... LOST 10 lbs. YAY! ( This was the good) So, I did exactly what addicts are NOT supposed to do to celebrate a feat. I ate...BAD. However, I will give myself the credit for slight moderations when I did eat out this weekend, for example choosing vegetables and not eating the top part of buns. Regardless, I fucked up.

I'm not gonna go through everything I ate but it was every single meal out. Frick. Frick. Frick. I also drank every day this weekend, beer here, Caesar there, vodka here. Ugh. I got into the mentality of "Oh I already ate bad today, oh I already ate bad yesterday, might as well continue and start again Monday." So here I am Sunday evening, huge guilt but huge motivation at the same time. I am excited to get back to my lunch time runs, I am children free this week and plan to do yoga at least 4 times. I am about to go make my shakes for tomorrow and get back on track. 20 or so more lbs to go! : )...perhaps 30 as I probably gained back the 10 I lost. HA.

Shitty weekend but a bit more motivation to get back in the game. I also plan to blog daily again. Clearly I need to do it. Soo back to daily blogs. : )

Till tomorrow...

Day 23. Mental Health and Yoga

Hello! I said it was my last daily post, but felt the need to write today.

Today was a sick day for me. I am mentally exhausted, frustrated and discouraged at work and in my personal life and I needed a day to recollect my thoughts and not think about stuff. I relaxed at home and then went to Hot Flow with my old yoga buddy Megan. The class was sooo good! I love feeling stronger and able to hold poses longer...makes the class more fun.

 I did really well eating too. I had a piece of toast with peanut butter for breakfast, some popcorn and a shake for lunch and a salad for dinner. My friend Dallas came over with his dog Brew and we all went to the dog park, only after Blue and Charlie repeatedly attacked Brew. Poor Brew. I now have a massive headache and am hoping for a drama free work day tomorrow. Knock on wood. Ha.

Till the next fun and exciting day...

Day 22 - Final daily post.

Alrighty, I will NOT continue to post daily, but will post several times a week. I am just finding it tough to post on days that are boring, the same and like every other day. I will keep track of what I did and recap on my post for the days I missed.

Day 21. Kinda a blah day. Had my morning shake and soup at lunch, snacks in between. I was craving tacos so on my way home I picked up ground turkey and made turkey tacos. I, as always, ate too much and now I feel sick. Note to self: when I think turkey tacos is a good idea, well... they're not.

After dinner the kids and I went to the dog park and walked around for 45 minutes. That is always fun. I went to go buy new runners but mine were at work and I wasn't quite sure which ones they are. I am too scared to get a different kind. I wanted to run tonight but since my shoes are not here, that will not happen. Jillian Michaels it is. Ugh, I'm so tired. It was painful to write that. Jillian Michaels. Ugh. Okay, gotta go do it.

Till the next time something cool and fun happens...
