Too Tired

Hi guys!
Let’s get down to business. The answers from yesterday’s game are:
1. Donkey kick
2. Plank
3. Bridge
4. Jumping Jack
5. Calf Raise
6. Woodchop
7. Roundhouse

Yesterday was busy. And I am paying the price today, because I just feel beat. Like, mentally and physically busted. I still have another bootcamp and noon today, so I am laying low until go-time!

After all of my activities yesterday, I made my last stop at Jugo Juice where I got 24 oz. of heaven. Complete and udder heaven. I also got a shot of wheatgrass- my fave.

This week’s book is Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin

I really only chose it because the story takes place in Boston. So far, it’s a good read. I like books that take the point of view of several characters.

This week’s nail color:

Kind of awesome that the purple is called Save the Date…

And, before I go wake up this lazy bum…

to take her for a walk so that we can both stretch our legs…

I leave you with one question: Will you please leave a comment on this blog post? Something? Anything? What do you hate? What do you love? What is bothering you? What did you have for lunch today? Do you like you job?

Ok, that was about 8 questions. I was just trying to get the ball rolling…

*caution: Survivor finale spoiler below!

1.) I love my new flip flops by Sanuk

because…

…and omygosh are they comfy.

Tyler bought them for me because I didn’t bring any flippy floppies with me to Canada and I needed them. Badly.

He’s a good man. A really good man. I mean, these are a total upgrade from my usual Old Navy flips. These make me want to workout with every step I take. Seriously, I’m in love.

2.) My new SPIbelt!. I decided to go with the SPIbelt because I have read a lot of really positive reviews. Plus, it’s very minimal in size-a total plus since I plan on wearing this while teaching my outdoor bootcamp!

3.) This license plate

Made me happy when I saw it!

Things I’m not loving:

1.) This beer:

20120514-125537.jpg
Bud Light Lime Mojito? Gross. At first taste it’s like ‘yay! Lime!’ then all of a sudden it’s like ‘oh no, mint.’ And then your brain registers that it’s beer and NOT a cocktail. Then, you shudder. Lastly, you take the bottle to the sink and pour it down the drain. The end.

2.) Kim winning Survivor.

She bugs me like crazy. I mean, yeah she played the game awesome, but as a viewer I would have loved to see more of a twist towards the end. As the guys were getting voted off you just knew her dominate strength and mentality had the million bucks in the bag. Why not throw a poisonous spider in the tent and shake it up a bit? Just sayin’.

What are you loving/hating lately?

Fantastic Friday

Well hello there.

This Friday morning has been just as grand as Monday morning.

I got in a quick interval workout at home, watched The Pauly D Project, and took Layla for a hike at Nose Hill Park.

My glutes, quads and Hammies are super sore from yesterday’s burnin’ workout, but this hike really helped. It was a little chilly, but after a few minutes at a brisk pace, I was ready to peel off some layers. We saw lots of deer too. Actually, Layla didn’t…which is good because I would have probably lost my arm once she took off after them.

Another reason why today is good: I am now 5 days clean of sweets. Pretty awesome if you ask me. If I have a craving, I satisfy it with strawbs or mango…sweet, but not stick-to-your-hips sweet. Phew.

3rd reason: Im on my way downtown in a few minutes to get all my paperwork done for the Y then I am meeting with my Wednesday afternoon co-instructor and we are going through a mock workout. I have two different ones planned- we’ll see what she goes for!

4th: I really really really want a pair of these

Like, seriously, I really want them. Talk about a conversation starter.

5th: Since I will be teaching an outdoor bootcamp AND I have been out for long hikes and walks with Layla, I really want to get something that’s easy to carry all my necessities in (phone, keys, chapstick)

I can’t decide between a Spibelt or and Armpocket. Does anybody have either of these? Any input would be really appreciated!

Last, but not least, my new tunes for the week:

(Only two explicit songs! I’m so tame)

And on that note, I am going to whip up a smoothie and hit the road….Jack.

3. What is your favorite feature (on yourself)?

4. What is your current favorite jam (meaning a song, not something you spread on toast)?

5. What is your least favorite exercise (Like, if you’re taking a class and the instructor announces it, and you curse either out loud or under your breath)?

6. What is your favorite breakfast (that has ‘staying’ power)?

A few things.

1) I bought all this today

2) My ring was finally ready. You bet your bippy I hopped right in my car to go get it. Only downfall, I had just painted my nails, so the job got a little ruined. Normally, I’d be ticked, but I make exceptions for shiny big diamonds!

3) Another spinach salad for dinner. Gotta get in those veggies!

4) Now that I have more equipment at home, I am more inclined for impromptu workouts. Case in point: right now. Then Layla got in the way.

Then she apologized.

Then I ended up just laying on the ball and watching 2 episodes of For Rent and Storage Wars.

5) I experienced rush hour traffic on my way home from the jeweler. HA! Calgary’s rush hour looks like ideal road conditions for Boston. Canada: 1 US: 0

6) Athena reminded me yesterday that the Healthy Living Summit is in Boston this year.

I’m saving up.

7) That is all.
