Haven't been updating at ALL lately. My mom has been visiting and driving me nuts with all this food she makes. She's like 5 ft tall and 110 lbs and eats like a cow but NEVER gains a single lb it drives me CRAZY. She'll make this giant fat induced dinner but get upset with me if I eat a cookie, like how does that even make sense!! While I've really enjoyed her visit I have to admit I'll be happy when she heads back home and I can get back to a regular schedule. She's gone tomorrow evening so posts will be more frequent and back to normal then. Just exhausted from this whole weekend! Chow for now.

It's funny that when you are eating pretty clean foods for awhile and your 'oh so loving boyfriend' convinces you to have Chinese food for dinner so I don't have to cook, how unbelieveably disgusting and tired it can make you feel, not to mention want to eat everything else in sight. Putting it out of my mind! Getting back to my regular choices today. Thinking about investing some time and money into some lifeguarding courses. The pay here is pretty good with lots of room for advancement and raises, and even if I didn't do it as a fulltime job it would be a great way to pick up some part time work, all courses involved only comes up to about $450 bucks, well worth the money in my opinion. Going to check it out tonight after work : ) Great perks too, awesome health benefits, free rec center pass (Olympic pools, indoor running tracks, squash courts, ice rinks, fitness center, etc!)

Brekifest! Whole Wheat Toast w/ PB and Banana, Super Yum : )

Went up to the Cafeteria with the Girls for lunch, raided the salad bar a bit. Ended up with quite the assortment, noodle salad which was like eating pure mayo (ick, passed on most of it), some lovely boiled potatoes in a garlic cream sauce (YUM!), taco salad ish stuff ( the taco salad bowl was like ALL ground beef and cheese, I put a bed of reg lettuce underneat and just added a bit on top, was delcious!) PLUS some greek salad (very small portion) and some raw veggies along with a diet pepsi. Was rather filling : )

2010-08-20T09:22:00.000-07:00

TGIF!!! Although I might end up working for awhile tomorrow lol!

Brekifast' - Same Ole Deliciousness : )

Excited for the weekend even if I end up coming to work for a few hours tomorrow it will be pretty relaxed. Hoping to hit up some racquet ball tonight with a friend and grab some stir fry for dinner at Wok Box which is always yummy! No real big weekend plans I don't think, might take a road trip for the day but I'm not really sure yet, had planned to cause the boyfriend was going to take a few days off but he couldn't get them so I'll probably just stay in town. House needs a good cleaning : ) Well, off to works. Update laterz. Hopefully the cafeteria has something yummy/healthy today, I didn't bring any lunch (Silly of me)!

2010-08-19T09:12:00.001-07:00

Feeling a tad frustrated this morning. Slept in and missed my bus, annoying but whatever. It's weird, I've been going to bed earlier (Around 11ish) but still sleeping in, a guess an alarm clock would help lol! Drove in to work and wasn't late when I got here but the shuttle service from the main parking lot to my office took FOREVER! Usually it's like a 10 minute (If that) drive down to my office but this morning it took like 40 minutes! I was so frustrated! ...Deep breathing... lol

I'm really begining to .. I wouldn't say detest my job, but I dunno, I feel like I sit on my butt ALL day and do nothing and then when I get home my body is like in a total shock mode that I'm suddenly running around making dinner, working out, walking dogs. Anyone have any suggestions who might work in an office? Do you work out in the AM to get things going? Walk around at lunch? I can't really walk anywhere expect my actual building, which isn't that big, I think people would think I was crazy if I started randomly walking around in circles.

Same Ole Same Ole Delicoius Oats w/ PB and Banann + a Cafe'

I'm trying to figure out if I should just continue on with doing my own workouts and just being more active and eating better until christmas and then after the new year hire a personal trainer for one session a week for a few months before my big Jamacia trip. I've lost almost 30 lbs just eating better and getting more active but I also want to make sure I'm doing the right amount of weight training and the proper reps and areas together etc. I've herd that weight training can REALLY help with loose skin and what not. I don't think I'm going to have a big problem because I don't have much for stretch marks but still. Have to mull it over, it's not cheap but I wanted to join a gym anyways and I think you can get discounts if you are a member.

I use to LOVE swimming and I want to get back into it as a maintenance exersize for when I get to the weight I want to stay at, I think between running and swimming and possibly a kickboxing class each week there will be enough activity to keep my weight in check without having to really restrict myself from eating as much as I am now. I'm still very commited to a healthy lifestyle because that's just where I want to be at, not about to gorge on McDonalds and eat entire bags of chips suddenly because I hit my goal weight but currently my calorie intake is pretty low so I'd like to have a bit more freedom there, and it's important just to be active anyways. I figure run x2 swim x2 and maybe two kick boxing classes a week would be a great plan, and easy enough to stick to : )

I'm blabbering! Going to check out some gym prices and blogs.

------------------------

On my drive home from work I decided to snack on some grapes cause my tummy was craving something. These grapes are SO good, and so crunchy, so delicious!

Decided to do some Wii Work Out, was a 50 Min Moderate Level Work Out. I really like to work out with the EA Active but I find it groups things together to much. Like you'll do 4 leg exersizes in a row, then 4 arm ones, I wish it was mixed up a bit more. Still better than doing notta though :)

After the Wii Exersize I had a quick shower and took the babes for a walk, and met the hunny at his bus stop with the kids when he got home, enjoy a short little (5-6 min) walk home together and then we headed out for dinner.
He got A burger, I thought I was going to want a bite but it didn't look tasty at all, he said it was delicious and it's not that it looked bad just didn't appeal to me whatsoever.

I got a Spring Mix Salad and a Bowl of Chipotle Chowder. I was super excited when the waitress told me what the soup of the day was but I dunno, I expected it to be spicer, or spicy at all? And it wasn't it tasted like a bland Corn Chowder with awkwardly large pieces of bacon in it, I ate maybe half of the already pretty shallow bowl, devoured my salad though :) Minus some of the cranberries because they were so sweet and there was SOO many of them!

Not the greatest pictures, the lightning in there kind of sucked and my iphone dosen't have a flash, Boo : (! Hoping for the iphone 4 for Christmas!

Nights : )))))

2010-08-18T08:05:00.000-07:00

In a chipper mood this morning despite the fact that I slept in! Missed my bus but wasn't late for work or anything, just a little rushed. Gave the pups breakfast and let them play in the yard for awhile while I got ready, and then gave them there treat and left they louging on the bed while I headed out. Grabbed a coffee n then realized traffic was all backed up : ( .. But still didn't ruin my mood lol and I HATE traffic. Ended up not taking that long to get through everything, thought for sure I was going to be super late but NOPE! Right on time : )

Breakyfast was YET again, Oatmeal w/ PB & Banana. I know it's the same like everyday but dude, so yummy and so filling I don't even care lol

Lunchables : Left Over Taco' Salad YUMMMMM!

Works ta do, update later : ) ............

Had a pretty productive day at work and a nice few lil chit chats with the boss, who's sort of a odd guy. Sometimes he seems super friendly but just in passing he always comes off as very angry and frustrated, but once you actually get into a convo with him, he's a great guy.

Came home and did the dishes, was going to attempt a p90x video but I don't have all the necessary items to do it (no dumbells or a pull up bar). I had planned to get some dumbells anyways so once I get those I will try and it just void any of the pull ups until I decide if I'm actually going to try the whole workout system, then maybe invest in that. So since that idea was out I decided to use the Wii. Normally I really like the Wii Fit with the Mii characters but I don't find I get that great of a workout from anything on there, I do still enjoy the yoga tho. I also have the EA Active game so I used that instead, about a 40 minute interval workout, felt great. Then I decided to take the dogs for a quick walk, had planned for 25 ish mins but ended up about a 40 minute walk. Just reading some blogs and updating quick then off to read a bit of The Happiness Project and make some dinner
: )

Dinner Included: Chicken Breast w/ Montreal Chicken Seasoning (My Fav), Wild Rice, Broccoli & Cauliflower and a small Salad (Romaine, Peppers, Cukes, Toms + Low Fat Ranch Dressing) Very yummy, super filling.

Boyfriend wanted some dessert so I made some low-fat pudding with Skim Milk, I gave him most of it but decided to have a little bowl myself with some banana on top, was super yummy : )

Sleep Time : )

Tuesday Blues

2010-08-17T09:56:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure what kind of mood I'm in today. It's not a great one, but it's not a horrible one. Just feeling kind of blah. Had planned to get up early and take the babes for a quick 30 min walk before work but slept in and almost missed my bus! Jeeze. I had planned to be sleeping by 10:30, headed to shower n sleep around 9:30 but somehow didn't get to sleep until almost 12. Definetly earlier to bed tonight.

Regular Ole' Delicious Oats w/ PB and Banannn + Some Cafe'

Ate up my lunch that I actually brought in for yesterday, Greek Salad (No olives though, not a fan) + Few Carrots sticks and a Diet 7-Up. Was perdy yumable.

Taco Salad for Dinner, BF had the Regular Tacos lol I'm kind of obsessed with taco salads, not entirely sure why but they are super yummy! Romaine Lettuce, lean Ground beef with Taco Seasoning (I'd say about 1/2 cup) Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Shredded Cheese, Crumbled Taco, 2 tsp of light sour cream and 3 tsp of Salsa, SUPER Yum! Really hit the spot : )

I got to the mall after work today and got The Happiness Project. I've seen it on lots of blogs and finally investigated the site yesterday, was intrigued. I loved the frist chapter (Month), didn't get a chance to read much past that last night but I did read a bit of Gretchens blog yesterday and definetly excited to read this book : )! - My day planner is lignering there too, I've been trying to write in it everyday but it's a task, still getting into the swing of it.

Few things on the go tonight includin'
- Clean Bathroom! - Yet again, not done, Hands are hurting bad lately (skin issues)
- Fix Computer for Bro' - Doneskis'
- Puppy Walk - 50 Mins, Was nice : )
- Wii Workout - Legs were sore from the walk, : S So didn't get to it.

Happy Monday!

2010-08-16T09:13:00.000-07:00

I'm not even in one of those, "Ugh It's Monday Moods" today. In an oddly good mood lol. Pretty excited to get home later and see my babes, take them for a nice walkies : ) It's weird how a day of eating good and getting lots of exersize can make you so.. I dunno I guess just in an "up" mood but then on the days your feeling down it's so hard to just get up and do something even though you know it will make you feel like WAY better.

Emailed about an Office Admin Diploma today. Office work isn't really MY thing but I'm just not in the position right now to be going back to school fulltime to do what I'd really like to do (Nursing) and I'm so good with computers and just dealing with people in general so it works for now. The diploma would almost garuntee me a job with the City and they have excellent benefits and paid vacations and stuff, plus there is SO much room for advancment. And it's an online diploma so I wouldn't even have to stop working to do it, apparently you can complete it in about 8 months. We'll see what they say when I get a responce, I had a couple questions I asked.

Breakfast was simple, and I forgot my bowl at home this morning so I kind of had to improvise lol Oatmeal w/ PB and sliced Banans and I grabbed a coffee on the way to work, put in about 1/2 the creamer I usually do and it was actually still extremely yummy : )

I think sometimes with coffee I put in so much creamer (Hazelnut Flavour) that it almost overpowers the coffee and seems to always give me a headache. I think it's really the sugar in coffee that's been bothering me and not the coffee itself.

Updated::
I had planned to have Greek Salad for lunch (Leftovers from night before) but my Boss asked me to zip over and grab him lunch for the cafeteria cause he was stuck in meetings and they had my all time fav soup "Thai Chicken Curry" so I was all over that lol! Delicious as usual!

I wasn't in the best mood on the drive home so I wasn't real motivated when I got home, ended up lounging on the couch for about an hour munchin' on some grapes, they were so yum and crunchy!

After the grapes I found some energy and took the daglins for a walk, about 50 mins, no rain this time lol! I had planned to make tacos for dinner but wasn't really feeling it so I opted for a Stir Fry, was super delicous and really hit the spot.

Then I lounged with my babes for awhile, Boyfriend caught this silly picture of me and my Husky Raider. He such a cuddle bug, huge tounge lol

Shower, and then sleep! Nights!

Sunday Recap!

2010-08-16T08:48:00.000-07:00

Had a pretty good weekend, kind of gorged on Doritos the one day though : ( Oh well, not going to fret about it, Sunday was an extremely productive day = D

Woke up around 6:30AM (Sunday), no flipping idea why, was like WIDE awake. So I decieded to get up and take the dogs for a walk. Weather looked ok, was a tad cloudy but about 1/3 the way through it started to pour, and I don't mean like a little rain, like I was DRENCHED, could barely keep my eyes open, the dogs are just prancing away loving it and I'm like soaked! Finally eased up a bit but kept raining on us, stopped like RIGHT before we got home lol and then it turned into a super sunny day lol.

Very wet lil pups lol! .. K not so little. After that lil adventure I was kind of starving (1 hr walk in disaster weather will apparently do that to you) So I made myself a filling and hearty breakfast. Oatmeal w/ sliced banans and some Peany Butta, Yums, OH! And a nice cup of tea w/ Skim Milk and Splenda (Evil I know) on the side to warm myself up.

Ate breaky and watched a bit of tv for awhile while the dogs dried off in there travel houses downstairs, then I got a bit of a mad cleaning urge and started to go bananas. Completly emptied the fridge and gave it a good srub, did dishes, washed floors, vaccumed, did sheets, dusted and sorted the recylcing all before noon! Then I got my nails done across the street, I have to admit, if I didn't have someone living directly across from me who did gel nails, I'd never get them done, or keep them up, it's just not something that I have time for really but it's so easy when it's just a quick zip across the street : )!

Then I made some lunch for the Silly Boyfriend (who got up at 12:30!). We had some tuna wraps and some veggies, his lunch was about 3x as much as mine lol.

After lunch we went and did some grocery shopping, stocked on our meats this trip (Extra Lean Ground Beef for Sketti's, Taco's Etc, Chicken Breasts and Pork Chops) I'm not a huge pork fan but it really hits the spot once in awhile. After grocery shopping I finally sat down to relax for a bit (legs were killing me, not sure why) and played some Hot Shots Golf on the PS3 with the boytoy, we were both playing a horrible game lol I think we had a setting changed or something because normally the boyfriend is super good at that game lol. I was feeling perdy lazy so I got up and decided we should take the babes to the dog park for a good run, they just LOVE it there, Raider always goes balistic and runs non stop the entire time, then we he's tired and wants to go home he'll wander over to the gate and wait for me lol! Rayne just likes to say hi to everyone so she kind of just wanders around. Got home from there just before dinner time and kicked into cooking mode. Made Greek Salad, Pork Chops, Rice and Broccoli, Delicious!

Decieded to relax after dinner, watched Iron Chef, they were making some very odd, yet delicious looking food lol. Dairy Queen commerical came on and the boyfriend wanted to go grab a Blizzard but when we got there the line up was RIDICULOUS so he decided to go to McDonalds and get a Mcflurry. I hadn't planned on getting anything cause icecream doesn't like me at all but I decided to have a Yougart Parfait which really hit the spot.

Was insanely tired by 9:30 so I crawled into bed to cuddle with my hunny and was out by 10. Woke up around 630 feeling fabo this morning, definetly was a fabo Sunday = D

2010-08-12T08:54:00.000-07:00

Well it's offical. My best friend is getting married in Jamaica in April 2011, I am DETERMINED to wear a bikini, DETERMIEND! .. Well clearly not TO the wedding lol, but while on Vacation.

Prayers for Bobbi's Brother Chris

I've had a terrible migraine for like 3 days straight, was off work yesterday because of it, it's just brutal! Was making dinner last night for the SH and I thought I was going to pass out, was getting sweats and was all dizzy, ended up laying down from about 6-11pm and then woke up only to eat a bowl of chicken noodle soup then pass right back out, and when I woke up this morning fully rested I was hoping it was going to be gone but NOPE! Still here! Ugh! So flipping frustrating, just want it to go away, been taking tylenol like a crazy person, which definetly isn't healthy.

Super frustrated with work lately, trying SO hard not to look for a new job, I know if I can just hang in awhile it will be worth it in the long run, just not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel at the moment.

Not really sure what I'm going to have for lunch, brought double the amount of thins & Bananas was just gonig to repeat breaky for lunch but I'm not sure I'm into that now and the soup selection at the cafeteria is lacking hardcore, clearly didn't think it through this morning at 6AM when I was getting ready. I do have some cut up veggies in the fridge, maybe I'll just eat that and have a snack when I get home, we'll see.

I definitely have to admit that I get jealous sometimes reading all the blogs I do. I don’t think it’s the actual adventures that a lot of people are embarking on, as absolutely amazing as some of them are, I think it’s mostly the attitudes that I envy. I wish I had the optimism to carry myself through some days but I just get in these downer moods and then there’s nothing I can do to break it. Once I finally get myself for the run, or into a good book or doing some Yoga I usually feel 1000x better but some days I just cannot for the life of me push myself to do it. Yesterday was a prime example, I did nothing all day besides lounge with my dogs, and while there really isn’t much wrong with that, I was snacking like the entire time. When I added up everything I ate it actually wasn’t even close to as bad as I thought it was, and the evening ended with a nice catch up with an old friend who I greatly miss but I still feel like I could have made WAY better use of the day. Live and learn I suppose.

Sent away my last Bio Mod yesterday, YAY! Just have to get the tests done, gonna study for the first, then fly out do it that day or the following and then study for the weekend for #2 and complete that on a Monday and then probably make another trip out for #3 and #4. Was going to speak to them to see if I can do them here but I'm kind of doubting it because it's a different province. We'll seeeeee though!

Little dissapointed today, totally forgot to set my DVR for Caitlin on The Today Show before work, was really looking forward to seeing it but I'm sure she'll have a link on her blog to watch it, for us silly people who forgot! Operation beautiful is amazing! I'm getting the book ASAP! - Saw Caitlin in the clip when I got home from work, she was so lovely = D

Tonights plan .. a puppy walk + some Wii and some dinner making, on sunday I'm going to be planning meals for the week! Kind of excited, man I'm a loser lol! - Puppy walk got put aside, got caught up with Yoga and Wii Fit Boxing (LOL!) They played in the yard all afternoon though so were fully tired at bedtime.

I have two new fav tv shows that I'm getting addicted to! Rookie Blue, a police show, clearly about rookie cops, already renewed for a 2nd season thank Jebus! AAANNNDDD Boston Med, which is apparently an 8 part documentary series, just inlove with it, guess it's ending soon though : ( I don't watch a lot of TV lately .. use to really keep up with shows every week but lately the only thing I find myself catching new episodes of is the cartoons, like Simpsons and Family guy and that's only cause the SH watches them. He's really into 24 too which I just cannot get into, and Lost which I need to back track and watch all the episodes if I want to follow along there and honestly, just not that interested ..

(B) Whole Wheat Pita w/ Egg Whites, Slice of Low Fat Ham, Shredded Cheese (Very small amount), Sliced tomatoes topped with Mustard ++ a unbelieveably unhealthy coffee, so yuck for body, but so yum for tastebuds! Reallly need a different morning wake me up beverage! 264 Calories
(L) Garden Salad which Included: Romaine Lettuce, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Red Peppers + Ranch Dressing, Also had some extra cucumbers, peppers and carrots on the side. Veggie Overload! - 197 Calories

(D) Clam Chowder from Momma!
(S) Cookie 55 Cals

Total: 700 without the chowder, but I HIGHLY doubt it's more than 900 Calories (which is what my total alottment w/ the exersize I did was for the day) So I'm calling it a good day : )

Brother is back from his trip home tonight, I believe he is bringing goodies, which include soups and fresh produce so we'll see what's on the menu for dins, may just have a nice bowl of chicken soup or clam chowder and call it even.

Tonights "get'r done" list includes!
- Hit Auto Parts store for SH DONE!
- Purolator (Have a package, big mystery) DONE! Was a gift card from my Credit Card Company!!
- Drop off Netbook with Computer Buddy (So not my thing) -- Forgeted it lol
- Mail away course completions (FINALLY!) DONE!
- Vacuum (Insane amounts of puppy hair!) Didnt get a chance, BUT weekly cleans are Fridays so probably just wait until then now.
- Puppy Walk + Some sort of addition exersize (Run or possibly Wii Fit) Only puppy walk, town adventures took to long, didn't get home til 715, and had to walk babies and make dinners.
- Make Lunches for Tomorrow's Dones, Tuna Wraps, Veggies and Fruit for SH, and Chowder + Veggies for myself!

Updatedness: Brother came back with lots of goodies from home, fresh produce including peppers, lettuce, carrots, cherries, and SO many great herbs from my grandma's garden! Woot! Spaghetti sauce tomorrow is going to be DELICIOUS! Mom also sent up some of her famous Clam Chowder, which isn't really much of a chowder, has more of a soup consistency but its JAM packed with Veggies & Clams and a weee bit of wine hehe, so delish! She also sent up some lovely turkey soup that I have yet to try but I'm sure is fabo. Grandma sent her special choco chip cookies with a twist, she used splenda instead of sugar, she was thinking of the SH who is diabetic <- Currently working on getting him to eat healthier as well. Off to visit pups and give them there treat I got today and then sleeps!! Nights

~ I think some people spend so long looking for what they think they need and what they think they want, your always so disappointed that you can't get there, that you can't achieve what your looking for, you can never really get where you think you belong but maybe you just don’t realize that's not what you really need, maybe you miss out on something that was really perfect in the first place just cause you didn’t find what you were looking for, maybe it's just as important to leave your options open and to realize the good things as they come at you and not be so disappointed that it wasn’t exactly what you were hoping for, and exactly what you were looking for, maybe you didn’t really know what you needed in the first place, maybe you were always looking for the wrong thing, Maybe you found what you were suppose to find and you let it go cause it wasn’t what you thought it was going to be, maybe you just need to keep your eyes open, keep your heart open, cause loves comes in more ways than one, and usually at the most unexpected moment, from the most unexpected situation, direction and source, and it feels like nothing you could have imagined, nothing you could have ever envisioned, just perfect. ~

I'm stuck, and I hate the feeling; but I have no choices right now, and no other directions to travel.

Nowhere to go.

Worst weekend ever. Fighting with the boyfriend all weekend, was horrible. Did great for food and exersize friday and even saturday. Sat night was snacking a bit but it was all pretty healthy snacks so I wasn't to upset about it. Sunday was a disaster, was just so depressed and hating life, breakfast was healthy, egg white wrap with low fat ham, lunch had stir fry but I had flipping Ravioli for dinner, suprising only went up two lbs, alot but I thought it was going to be so much worse. I think it's safe to say that my relationship with the bf is over, probably be moving out in the next month or so, things just aren't working anymore.

Woke up a bit late today. Really need to get this sleeping thing in order. Going from lazing around ALL day to working out 1 hr + really makes you sore and tired and when you don't get enough sleep it really drains you. Got maybe 6 hours last night, which I guess isn't horrible, but like I said, slept in a bit, technically should have only gotten 5 if I had got up on time lol. Would REALLY like to start working out in the morning too, even if it's just 30Mins Yoga or a Puppy Walk but the motivation isn't there at all lately lol.

As silly as this sounds, I'm like terrified for lunch today. We are having a celebration lunch at work and they ordered pizza. Two slices of pizza will like destory my calorie intake for the day, I asked if they could order salads but apparently that was a no go and I can't just sit in my office as people will literally drag me over to the pizza to eat. Ugh! I'm thinking two slices of Veggie pizza (Cause I know I'm not going to be able to eat JUST one), minus the crust and maybe picking off a bit of cheese? I'm going to attempt to eat just one, I brought some cut up veggies to go with my lunch but I'm not sure my willpower is there today. Wish me Luck, Gonna need it.

2day.x.x
(B) Banana + Soy Misto 185 Cals
(L) Two Slices Veggie Pizza - Crust & Cheese Approx 425 Cals *Had a few toppings off another piece, added some cals.
(D) 8 shrimp, Sml piece of chicken, broccoli + cauliflower, 1/3 cup whole wheat noodles + salad w/ ranch dressing

Xersize plans tonight
Run on Dredmill 20 mins + (Didn't do this, did extra Wii instead)
Wii Work Out Min 30 Mins - 60 Mins, 30 Min Random Games, 3o Mins Yoga
Walk Babies Min 30 Mins - Hour long walkies!
Approx burnt: -553

Update later..

OK PIZZA I HATE YOU! I ended up eating two slices of Veggie Pizza, picked off all the cheese and didn't eat the crust. Was nice to satisfy that junk food craving but honestly..wasn't that good. The crust tasted really doughy and just odd, much rather have a thin crust loaded with Veg and VERY small amount of cheese. The Pizza Place website says they are 210 Calories per slice, x2 = 420 BUT I didn't eat the crust so I'm going to minus -20 and I didn't eat the cheese so I'm going to minus -60, Pizza total per my calculation is .. 340 .. Defiently NOT the end of the world = D Honestly super proud of myself! There was meatlovers, and BBQ Chicken and Supreme and AHH! I opted for the Veggie and did some modifications! Few strange looks but who cares!! I have a feeling I'm goign to have a bit of a stomach ache later today though, have been eating so good lately, we'll see. Probably another update later! As silly as it is, this blog is good at keeping me accountable.

Update::..:: Had a great evening, long puppies walk, good Wii work out, made dinner and lunches for tomorrow, and got to lounge a bit, definetly feeling good about today being so productive. Hopefully sleeping by 12 tonight, earlier would be great. Post morrow!!

2010-07-12T14:47:00.000-07:00

(D) Taco Salad w/ Ground Beef + Veggies 345 Cals
(S) Sml Handful of Baked Chips 100 Cals (If that!)

Suppose to be going to help a friend clean tonight, and probably the rest of the week as well. Not looking forward to it really but could use the money and it's good exersize, so we'll see. Productive workday for sure. Was going to start P90X this morning but slept horrible last night, and if I'm going to be cleaning at night I don't think I'm going to have the energy, up at 5 for P90X, work a 10 hour day then clean for four hours? I'll have no energy at all, the earliest I'll be able to sleep is 11, if not 12.

What would be more important to you, working out financial situations or getting healthy/losing weight? I do have a good job and if I budget I can still pay off certain things, just takes a bit more time, Ugh, I could really use some input.

Unsure about what to have for dinner, Update later.

Update::

Didnt end up going cleaning, got home and just had so much on my plate felt a bit overwhelmed. Finally after a few days off I went for a run and honestly, feel so much better, not a 100% but definetly up there. Right now it just doesn't seem worth it to bust my butt for that extra money when that effort should really be dedicated to being more healthy and getting school issues done. I can still dedicate some effort to money issues, just by sticking to my budget. Thinking sleep soon, pretty tired.

I am just flipping exhausted this morning. Went to bed not TOO late, around 12:30 and was up at 6:30. I know I should be getting more sleep and I'm working on it but I'm just not having much luck in that area. I will lay down at 11 and be up way later, TV in the bedroom probably doesn't help. Suppose to be going for dinner with friends tonight, we will see, going to check out the restaraunt website and map out a low calorie meal for the evening just incase we do go.

Exersize Plans this evening..

- Run/Walk Combo - Walked 5 Ran 20 Walked 5 Ran 5 Walked 5 -
- Wii Work Out < -- Was to busy BUT! Cleaned a friends house for 1.5 Hrs Burned approx 200 Cals

I would love to know how people get motivated to wake up at 5AM to go running, what time do these people hit the hay at night!? So jealous. Wish I had that motivation.

Update later.

Went out for dinner with the BF, had a Baja Salad w/ Shrimp. It's suppose to come with a Santa Fe Ranch dressing but I always opt out of that and get a side of sour cream and a side of regular salsa. Salad comes with Iceberg lettuce, tortilla strip chips (which I never eat), Shredded Cheddar, Tomatoes and a corn medley type thing (which again, I never eat). The calorie content on the site for the Salad is 410, and considering I only ate half of it and opted out of dressing and the chips the actual calorie intake on that is probably a lot lower, which means I ate even less! It's so weird. I remember eating so much before but lately I try not to sit down to much. Try to constantly be going and doing something cause there is just about alawys something to do. For example last night, when I got home from work I cleaned up the kitchen a bit, took puppies for a walk, went for dinner, cleaned a friends house, went to the store for a new water bottle and a magazine, picked up my bro's girlfriend from work and then came home and ran/walked 45 minutes on the tredmill, had a shower and went to bed. I think I sat on the couch for all of maybe 20 minutes and honestly, loved every little bit of it. As long as I make a plan during the day to stick to it works out pretty good usually, as I have SOMETHING to do and I always feel like I need to get as much done on my list as possible, makes me feel like I have accomplished something for the day : )

Busy day at work, got lots done. Boyfriend is working his last night shift tonight, one last night to myself so I think I'm going to have to find some motivation and get a bunch done.

Items I would like to accomplish this evening include...

Walk with Babies + my adopted Girlie for the week (Looking after a Friends dog) They were kind of exhausted from playing so we didn't do a walkies
Run/walk Combo 2:30 walk 20:00 run 2:30 walk (Add extra if feeling up to it) Was a bit to tired from the Wii workout, the yoga really made my legs sore!
Wii Work out, Some kickboxing and possibly Yoga : ) Yoga + Boxing + Randoms 1 HR Wii Work out!
Download some new workout tuneski's - Jeeze, this is taking me forever to get to!
Vaccum + Clean Bathrooms (Possibly) - Done and Not Done lol
Unload the dishwasher - Absolutely! - Check!

After a look at my June budget and what I actually spent.. I almost had a heartattack. $950 on food, yes FOOD, like how does that even happen! Between buying groceries and eating out it's just out of freaking control. And the thing that is the worst about it is we go shopping, buy lots of stuff for dinners, and then the bf decides he wants to eat out so we have all this food around (that sometimes goes bad). It's super frustrating! I'm not going to beat myself up about it because we did have the Vegas trip in June and that didn't help, but if August 1st rolls around and I'm THAT much over my food budget, I'm going to lose my freakin' mind, I swear. July is going to be a tight month, well every month is going to be a tight month from now on, need to get in the groove of paying things off and starting to save, hello savings account! I'm sorry I have neglected you! I was thinking about getting a part time job to offset some bills but the more I thought about it the more complicated it was getting. Clearly it would have to be in the evenings after work, and honestly with all my other goals right now I just do not have the time. I'm trying (failing atm) to finish up school stuff, trying to commit myself to exersize and healthy eating. If I'm working until 5:30 at one job, then til 9 at another job, even just an hour or two out of the house in the evenings kind of just messes with my plans at the moment. Right now, my health and getting into shape is more important that having extra money that let's face it; I'll just end up spending on things that I don't need. Once I have my few school courses completed and I'm dedicated and have found a good work out routine that fits me then maybe I will persue a part time job to get the finance situation rolling, until then I'm just going to cut back. I wonder if that's the right choice? I guess we will see.

Nursing or Power Engineering. -- Seriously couldn't have picked two more differenet career choices. I'm a bit loopy I think.

Feels nice to be done, and it looks so much better :) I had a strange weekend. Lots of ups and downs, moods wise. Went to see the new Twilight Movie, Taylor = Hot as Ever, acting is still horrible though lol, Kristen and Robert are getting a bit better though. I was kind of suprised with the movie, thought it would be just as cheezy as the rest of them, but it was good, and lots of funny little comments, apparently the forth book will be divded into two Movies. Anyways, should hit the hay, almost midnight, gotta be up at 6 for work. Night.

2010-07-03T11:03:00.000-07:00

Changed my layout a bit, new background, wanted something a little more fun = D

Bit of a late start to the day, was going to start running in the mornings starting today but I ran for 25/10 last night and my legs were a bit sore this morning, didn't want to overdue it. Not a whole lot on the go today, might have lunch with the bf soon if he wakes up in time (He's on nightshift tonight) And probably going to see the 3rd Twilight Movie Eclipse tonight and having WOK BOX for dinner! So stoked! Yummm! Have to keep my calories down for the day, Stir fry dish is lik 440 something, so worth it though. I think it's technically a bit less cause I usually get half the amonut of rice and add more veggies, or just don't eat half the rice if someone is working that won't sub it for me.

Home life is .. frustrating. And that's the most positive word to describe it. I thought having my brother live with me would be a good plan, but apparently it's just causing a lot of tension. He has 85 different personalities. Ugh. Don't want to get into the entire thing again. Trying to stay positive, feel great tonight, proud that I was able to run an extra 5 mins today even after taking a day off. Toe is a bit sore, not sure if it's my runners.. pretty sure its not because it was like that before, if anything I think they are making it better : ) Anyways, off to stalk blogs, lounge, enjoy some wata, posssibly a tea and watch a movie with my hunny.

Happy Canada Day !!!

Well I woke up late today (9:30AMish). Felt very refreshed though so maybe I needed it. Decided to have a lunch style breakfast instead of traditional. I had made tuna for the BFs lunch last night and had some left over in the fridge so I went with that on a pita broken into two pieces with a bit of lettuce and mustard, was pretty flipping delicious! Decided to head into work for a little bit just to finish up a few things and grabbed a Soy Misto on the way, definetly my all time new fav starbucks drink, 80 calories for the Grande' and oh so delicous!

Really need to step things up, 2 weeks into my plan and have made little to NO progress in most areas. Going out of town doesn't help fitness/food/finance situations at all, just makes things harder. Still haven't done ANYTHING towards schooling, really getting down about that situation, everytime I start something I get discouraged and just stop, doesn't help that I keep changing my mind about what I want to do. Works ok, stale and not enjoying it one bit, but need the money and the moneys good, so sticking it out. Such is life I suppose. It would be such a dream come true to find a career that I truly loved, I wonder how many people can really say that they really love there job.. Well I can think of ONE person, but that's it, ok maybe two, but there all people I know only through the net. Anyways, going to finish up some stuff and maybe work away at Bio.

Sigh, I sold my truckie awhile back cause insurance was just insane expensive to drive it and I just didn't really use it that much. Ended up making friends with the guy who bought it and he totally wrote it off, just demolished the thing. I understand that it's just a truck but still upset about it, I really loved that thing and put a lot of effort into making it how I wanted it, just sucks.

Going out of town tomorrow to visit the inlaws, little nervous about food/cals this weekend, not sure how to go about the situation without looking like a tard. I don't want to openely say I'm trying to lose weight cause I KNOW I'll just get the eye roll, "Oh yeah.. uhm good luck with that" I can just see it now. Bringing the dogs so they will need there walkies but still, going to be a challenge. It's almost a good thing though, see how commited I really am to the situation, hopefully it works out for the best.

Update Later. I'm thinking Subway for dinner, or maybe a Shrimp Stir Fry at home, we'll see.

Mouth is feeling a little better today, still a tad sore but nothing to to bad.

Spent all night last night ignoring the bf, barely said 3 words to eachother, I really had nothing at all to say. Walked the animals, watched some tv and slept. He drove me to work this morning, but still didn't talk to much.

Shopped around for some car insurance this morning, looks like I'm going to be able to save about 40 bucks a month, doesn't seem like much but ads up quickly, Around 450 a year.

Well..woke up feeling alright but when I started to talk my mouth started to hurt a lot so I stayed home from work today. Took the pups for a long walk and came home and made a nice breakfast for myself and my hunny, his was about the same as mine, just doubled lol.

Pita w/ Egg Cheese & Ham + Mustard, few potatoes, Sml Bowl of Cherries, Grapes, Strawberries + Yogart and sml handful special k.

Yummy, but hurt my teeth a bit.

-----------------

Ugh, went downtown with the BF just to get out and about, was going to grab a couple groceries but that didn't happen. We have been talking about getting a newer truck to take the place of the pickup that he has, it's getting higher KMS and he wants to try to keep them down as its kind of a project/show truck. Anyways, I had made it very clearly that I did not want to buy BRAND new because spending that kind of money on a truck we don't really even need is ridiculous, well ME spending that kind of money as he can't afford it with his car payment and the house payment, which I toally understand I don't expect him to pay for the truck, I just don't see why we NEED a brand new one. Anyways, he drags me into the sales office and gets the guy to do up a quote on monthly payments and stuff totally disregarding what I had already said about NOT wanting to spend that, the guy is giving me like the monthly payment plans doing the regular salesman crap, why buy used when new is only .. uhm 10 grand more? Hello.. I'm trying to be polite just trying to wave if off and the BF keeps looking at me like well can you afford it, can you?, can you? and like just waiting for me to agree to it. I was so mad. He can be so inconsiderate of my feelings and my choices it's ridiculous, and then he was mad at me for being upset with him, so frustrating. Turned an alright day into the worse and I had no motivation to do anything but sulk after that. Like #1, sure I can afford it but I don't WANT THAT, #2 Not everyone considers just scraping buy as AFFORDING something, #3, I enjoy having a savings account, and #4 He KNEW I was thinking about going back to school. Was just so hurt that he would even put me in that situation to begin with, probably won't ever take him looking for a vehicle again, it was humiliating. Ugh.

I wouldn't say that I'm not feeling myself cause I suppose I am, just feel different I guess, it's more my surrounding situations than anything else though, I still feel like myself, maybe even more so right now than I have been lately. I'm begining to think, and believe, that I expect to much from people, I don't think anyone has ever actually said that, but I definetly feel that way these days. Something that I just expect someone to do for me, and then they deny me, and I'm so shocked that I'm hurt but really .. I didn't have the right to ask for it in the first place. Like I'm setting myself up to feel like I'm not important to someone, or not important enough.

And we've got to find a way to make it alone,
To keep a straight face"
