Favorite Workout Moves

Some of my favorite workout moves:

These are just a few that my foggy Monday-morning brain can think of.

I take this book with me everywhere, just to refresh my memory when I have brain farts on incorporating different variations of some of these moves. Plus, I refer to my ACSM textbooks, other blogs, apps, websites. Golly, there’s just too many places!

Just finished Catching Fire and downloaded Mockingjay to my iPhone! And now, I’m off to get my hairs did!

Is no one doing anything this week? Let’s get some responses on things you are looking forward to!

Paint Party

It took a bag of Skittles for Tyler to get me out of bed today. I just felt like a ton of bricks. Throw a bag of candy at my face, and BAM, I’m up. We DID stay up till the wee hours last night to watch the entire first season of The Walking Dead. And I DID manage to have nightmares all night, so I used the morning daylight to catch some zz’s.

Tyler had gone back to the HD (home depot) to get gallons of paint, so I put my paint clothes on and helped him get to work.

And my paint clothes, I meant the T-shirt I wore to bed and the only pair of shorts I managed to bring with me to Canada. #AmericanFail.

We started with the dining room. Hooray! We got to FINALLY take down these ugly things:

I am pretty sure they’re both junk (left by the previous owners) but about 3% of me believes they could be the masterpieces of this guy. Am I right or am I right??!

I was in charge of the roller because I said I was going to be in charge of the roller. Cut to 30 minutes later, and you’ve got this:

We will have to do another coat since that existing brown was so dangΒ brown.

In another part of the world…

Athena tagged me as one of the things she’s loving for March! She also used the most flattering picture of me (*cough, cough*) You should probably check out her site, too.

Plus, she’s hosting a giveaway (hint: it’s CHOCOLATE) so you should leave a comment on this post to enter!

  • Only a few more pages of Catching Fire to go and it’s on to the third book in The Hunger Games series!

What’s something you are looking forward to this week?

For me, it’s getting my hair done tomorrow, and getting in some really good workouts!

 

Irish Evening

Let’s go to the beach, -each
Let’s go get away
They say, what they gonna say?
Have a drink, clink, found the bud light
Bad bitches like me, is hard to come by
The patron on, let’s go get it on
The zone on, yes, I’m in the zone
Is it two, three? Leave a good tip
I’mma blow off my money and don’t give two shits

I tend to always have one favorite song that I play over and over to death until I move on to the next. This week, it’s Nicki Minaj’s Starships. Makes me feel bad-ass. Except for when people at the gym catch me lip syncing it while I’m lunging or jumping jack-ing.

Let’s get back to Nicki Minaj- her and I are practically twins. Actually, the only thing we have in common are our badonk-a-donks. I used to be twins with JLo until she had babies and trained for a triathalon. Then, her junk in the trunk went bye-bye. I can only hope for a similar outcome.

 

I was going to wait to post out St. Patrick’s Day dinner (to make it look like I actually had a life and not that I come straight home to write about it for the internets to see). So, here are some mouth-watering pictures of one of the best meals to date. I managed to find some green to sport for the outing:

My expression was intended to imply ‘hey, look at this bangin’ green outfit.’ When really it says, ‘check out my disastrous roots.’ Whatever, I’m fixing that problem on Monday.

We started off with a couple of Caesar’s (to you American folk, it’s essentially a Bloody Mary, except it’s made with clamato juice rather than tomato juice). Tyler’s is extra spicy, mine is extra not. But you can’t tell the difference.

For an app, we had Mushrooms Neptune. They are mushrooms filled with crab and cream cheese. I don’t know why it was accompanied with a butt role, since we already were served a loaf of fresh baked bread. Delicious, nonetheless.

Our meals came with salads (mine: Wedge; Tyler: caesar) not pictured because lettuce is boring to look at.

Filet Mignon for each. (mine: 7 oz because I’m a lady; Tyler: 10 oz because he’s a man) Twice baked potatoes with chives and BACON, and veggies. (see! we were celebrating St. Patrick’s Day! We had potatoes!)

Somehow, after we left The Keg, we wound up at Crowfoot Liquor. And somehow, we left with this:

And with that, my nose has detected that the coffee is ready. Irish coffees and season one of The Walking Dead= a darn good Saturday night.

How are you celebrating?

Maybe Go to Home Depot

Howdy, howdy. I’m back in action after a good night out last night. Twyla and I met up with Nicole and several other cop-wives/girlfriends. We went to Craft which was PACKED. I had Wild Rose Raspberry Ale (x4) and a Prosciutto Arugula Flatbread. I forgot to snap pics because it was so crowded and I was balls deep in terrible conversation with a stranger. But, it was a nice place, so I will definitely be making an appearance there again. Pictures are a must for next time.

This morning consisted of oats for breakie (no surprise there) and a trip to Home Depot for paint! We are starting to phase out all the brown in the house, with the living and dining rooms first up. Here’s what we ended up with:

Spring Hill (bottom left) and Havana Cream (middle right). I was nervous they would be a little to drastic for the two rooms that are pretty much open to each other. But, I slapped a couple coats on the wall and it’s not so bad!

Whoa, that’s light!

One measly coat over a dark brown…

Now they’re starting to show…

We are quite pleased that we liked the colors on the first try! I’m thinking that us hitting gold (perhaps it’s a little luck ‘o the Irish) we will get more tomorrow so we can get some walls done!

Dinner tonight is at The Keg, Tyler’s favorite steak place! Mmm, I can already hear Mr. Mignon calling my name… We might even celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a little Baily’s or green beer afterwards. Too bad I left about 72% of my clothes in the states, otherwise I would be decked out in all my green attire. I’m going to have to see what I can throw together. Perhaps Erin Go Bra-less? Haha, no, that would be terrible.

 

 

…but maybe not.
