Randomness

I cannot move today.

I planned to go to the gym yesterday to do my c25k at 5 and then hit up yoga at 6. Didn't go as planned... I had messed up the times and yoga was at 5. Oopsie. I had my heart set on doing a class so that I could swim during lap swim at 7:30 so I took the only one that was available during this time....BOOT CAMP. It was a great class, but I am definitely feeling it today.

It was TRX boot camp which uses suspension. It was soo hard.

Today, 2 of the 3 boys are sick with the stomach flu. NOT GOOD. I think it is going around. Let's hope the other 2 kiddos don't catch it.

I am thinking about signing up for a mini triatholon this Sunday at my gym. Should I do it? I have always wanted to do one and this would be a great starting place.

I love the contestants on American Idol this season. I seriously don't want any of them to be kicked off. It's going to be a sad night for one of them.

Countdowns begin...

7 days until HEATHER gets here!!

14 days until I go home to visit my fam!!!

18 days until the BAHAMAS!

Happy almost weekend friends. Have a wonderfully happy day!

Let me just say that I am starving!! My week wasn't too busy, but I am super sore from my workouts. Jenn just called so I am going to eat. I will update again later.

Yoga Sunday

So, it has been a wonderful weekend, but I hate that it is coming to an end. Friday night, Heather, Eric, Kelley, and I just hung out at mine and Heather's house. We attempted to go out to a new piano bar in town, but there was absolutely no parking so we just came back home and watched Good Luck Chuck. Saturday Kelley and I slept in and then ran some errands. We had lunch at Honeybaked Ham, which is his absolute favorite place in T-town.

Saturday night, I babysat these two cuties:

Hayden (left) and Kenley (right)

I got home around 11 and Kelley, Heather, and Eric were ready to go out. It was a little of a surprise to me; I would have been just as happy staying home. Although we had bad luck the night before with parking, we decided to try downtown again. We ended up going to Coppertop because we knew someone who worked there.

We just sat outside and had a few drinks...it was really nice out.

Here are a few pictures of me and my love before we went out.

Today, we were all very lazy. Heather and I did some school work, while the boys watched football. Heather and I also went to a yoga class. Pretty interesting.

We did some of this...

and this...

and this.

This is where it gets interesting.

We attempted this...

and this.

Let's just say that when I was attempting the last pose, I ended up flat on my back. I couldn't help but laugh at my lack of balance.

I have done yoga before, but it has been a couple of years. It is really relaxing, which I love.

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.

Pilates Thursday

So today, Heather and I did mat pilates. It was fun, but not as good as dynamic pilates that we did on Monday.

It has been a little over a week since I started working out/eating healthy and I feel great. I feel like I am starting to see a change in the way I look, which is what I am going for. I have also been snacking very healthy. Lots of fruit and veggies. I am really trying to increase my daily fiber intake. I will keep everyone posted. I am off to bed.

Workout Wednesday

Today, Heather and I did a spin and sculpt class for the first time.

It was cycling for 40 min and 20 min of toning.

It was so intense, but burned over 300 calories!!

We were so proud!!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful wednesday!!

Wish me Luck!

Today has been pretty uneventful. I woke up around 10 and had a bowl of cheerios. I did some homework and took a shower. I have 2 interviews for childcare jobs in Tuscaloosa. The first interview is at 3:30 and I will be meeting the two girls and their mother. The second is at 5 and I will just be meeting the father. After my second interview, I will be off to class that starts at 6. It will be a long afternoon.

Heather and I have been doing so well with working out. I haven't skipped a day since last Monday. We get one day off a week and I took full advantage of my day off on Sunday. I had a burger! oops! I probably won't get out of class tonight until 8 or so and then Heather and I will head to the rec center for a late night workout.

Wish me luck on my interviews!!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday. I am going to have some lunch!

Back to Kim's to hang out the rest of the day.

I made egg salad sandwiches for lunch...they are one of my favorites!

Took Alli home at 3 and headed to the chiropractor.

Babysat Indira from 4:30 to 8.

As soon as I got to Indira's...we went for a walk.

During our walk...it was so hot!

By the end of our walk, she was out!

After her bath!

After babysitting, I decided to work out and do some reading. I biked 5 1/2 miles while I read Breaking Dawn. I am so close to the end that it is getting harder and harder to put down, but I don't want it to end! Adding in the 1 1/2 mile walk earlier, I walked/biked a total of 7 miles today. Yah for me. I am participating in the 30 day shred that started Aug.1. So far this week, I have done 10 miles!

I also snacked very healthy today...bananas, apples, and water!

I hope everyone had a great Monday!

Happy Monday

What a day!?!?

Today, I got to sleep in since Alli had a doctor's appointment. It was nice getting to sleep a little later after my exhausting weekend. I left to get Alli around 10 and we came back and made some toast (my breakfast, Alli's snack). I did the normal morning checking of blogger, gmail, fox news, and facebook while Alli watched Spongebob. Afterwards, Kelley (he doesn't work on Monday's), Kim, and I decided to get out of the house for a bit.

If I had all the money in the world, I would shop at one of the following:

...but I don't, so we all settled for some thrifty shopping.

I ended up with 3 pair of jeans...

black pants (not pictured), and a yellow Nike skort all for less then $20.

Also since Alli was such a trooper while shopping (her least fave thing), I bought her three new books. She read all the way home.

Kim also bought like 5 pair of pants/shorts and Kelley bought a nice pair of shorts.

After we got home, it was time to take Alli home.

Kim and Kelley carpooled together to class so I get to spend another night with my love =)

Once they left, I decided to work out...something I had been planning to get back into starting today...unaware of the fact that I was supposed to start today!! UGH!

Despite the horrible cramping I had been suffering from all day, I decided to stick with the plan.

What else did I have to do at home alone...right?

A few years ago, I got really into a workout called Turbo Jam...so I pulled it out and to my surprise completed all 40 minutes!!!!

I was so proud of myself.

]

After I finished the video, I decided to go for a walk. I even took Malik, who really walked me!

I jammed out to some Avril and walked all around Kim's neighborhood. It was so nice out!!

Unfortunately, I felt so good from my workout that I rewarded myself.

Eli got home from work while Malik and I were on our walk and had also been wanting The Depot for dinner.

The Depot is an amazing, little place in Helena that sells ballpark style food.

We rode out there just to find out that they were closed, so we settled for McDonalds.

So this is what I ate...What is it about wanting unhealthy food after working out?!?!

I'm gonna have to work on that!!

I hope you guys had a wonderful Monday!!!
