I’ve been gone

Posted on July 2, 2012 by Jen @nutcaseinpoint

I’ve been gone for a while, did you miss me? Probably not.

Food has been consumed. As well as adult bevvies. A Costco trip. River walk with the dog. All sorts of things. But I’m not about to recap them in detail. I DO have somewhat of a life, ya know.

But- yesterday was Canada Day and Tyler and I celebrated with some ribs and corn.

And MANY rounds of margies with our new toy!

Sun was out, it was lovely. And BOOM. Five minutes later, this happened:

Holy chub arm.

Since today is a holiday, Tyler has been selling stuff on Kijiji while listening to trance music, and I have been working on my fitness.

I did the GLADIATOR workout from the Nike Training Camp app. It was 45 minutes of strength intervals. I am sweaty as a beast, but I still don’t feel like a got a ‘full’ workout in. I might change my mind in about 5 minutes once my adrenaline high wears off.

Do me a favor. Tweet me @nutcaseinpoint. Just say hi. Thanks.

To Summarize

Posted on June 29, 2012 by Jen @nutcaseinpoint

To summarize, today I had a chia pancake with blueberry raw honey for brekky

I got dressed

I considered buying large wine glasses for when my mom comes to visit

And margarita glasses for just everyday use

I decorated the guest room. Like a Boss. No pics yet (I wanna surprise ma and dad)

I chilled on the porch with the pup

Then she tried to swim away in the river

I said ‘no way Jose” and she gave me the tail

Rude.

All Aboard the Random Train

Posted on June 28, 2012 by Jen @nutcaseinpoint

I actually jotted down everything as it came to me so that I could have a nice, authentic, random post.

-“Build a house up on that ass, that’s as ass-tate”- quite possibly the funniest lyric I’ve heard in a long (ass) time.

-Lately, I have gotten into the habit of brushing my teeth before I workout. Not sure why.

-Here are the recent adds to my iTunes library:

Layla and I took another walk to the pet store for a cookie

She was happy

-I went to the gym with the intention of a treadmill-only workout. Instead, I did 30 minutes on the running machine, then 22 on the spin bike. Yeah, and I was that a-hole at the gym that accidentally unscrewed the seat when I was adjusting it, making it crash all over the place. And people stared. Whatever. I did HIIT on the bike: 90 seconds moderate work with 30 seconds high intensity (and I cranked the resistance). Pretty good calorie burn.

– This is a hilarious thing I found on the internets today. Seriously, people do weird things to make money.

-I Skyped with my parents yesterday while they were in Vegas. And by Skype, I mean, my mom video called me and we could see each other, but my parents couldn’t hear me. It was hilarious and I couldn’t stop laughing, but they couldn’t hear it.

– I have been watching the US Olympic swimming trials the past few days. My favorite part is when they get ready to swim and they do that silly arm flapping/swinging/hugging stretch. I seriously cannot get enough of it. As a matter of fact, AS I’M TYPING THIS, I just witnessed it again!

Dinner time. Ciao.

ATTENTION!

Thoughts

1. I may or may not have gone to the mall. And one of my purchases might have been from Lululemon. oops.

Source

2. I spent approx. all day looking at Save the Date cards. Etsy is slowing replacing Nutella as my drug of choice.

3. Today’s challenge (not including my workout):

100 burpees
100 pushups
100 tuck jumps
100 crunches

4. I have been failing in the kitchen lately. Like, massive failures. I try to whip up tasty treats and meals for Tyler, and they all flop. And I can tell Tyler’s just trying to be nice a) by eating it; and b) having that high-pitched inflection while saying “oh, it’s good”. ugh. Maybe having my mom here next week will revamp my cooking abilities.

5. That’s right, my parents are coming next week! Hooray! Note to self: pack fridge with white wine prior to their arrival.

6. With that, we had to buy a bed for them to sleep on. Yup, three bedroom house, and only one bed. I’m hoping to get them liquored up each night so they don’t feel the effects of a futon sleep. Shhh.

7. Remember last week when I made that apricot salsa (another fail) and I cut up 4x the jalapenos? And my hands burned for DAYS after? I was searching some stuff on the internets today since I just remembered I wanted to see how to get the sting out of my skin (too late) and I found this:
