Well, hello world, how have you been?

A little Lady Antebellum to start off this LONG overdue post. (Your welcome for the great background music as you read my VERY ;o) entertaining blog!)

To start off, I am sorry.  The past two weeks has been some time that I have need to self reflect on life decisions.  I am not completely ready to announce to the blog world what these life decisions are, but I am sure I will some time.  

As this blog is suppose to be all about exercising, lets get to it.

Its been a minute since this particular run happened, but I had a GREAT run a couple weeks back.  Almost made it around the whole park without stopping, felt great!  Then went home and rocked Jill.  Well since then, I haven't really done much Jill and haven't really run much.  Super slacker, but at the same time this weather we have been having is making my allergies be all kinds of out of whack and lasting way to long.  I am ready for it to be cooler/fall weather.  I am done with the 80's.  It just makes me not want to run anymore in the heat.  I know that in about 4 months I will be saying the complete opposite, but for real, yesterday was almost 90 at the end of October! So that was a little confession time.

BUT yesterday I did do some exercising....lil Martinez called me up to the big leagues.  I went and played softball with her church team...SO MUCH FUN!!!  Thanks Anna!!  

Well, now that is all I got, and unfortunately I have been so preoccupied I haven't even really taken many pictures.  I will work on my picture taking and exercising abilities over the next week days/weeks!

Until next time...

Columbus Day

We Remember.....

Thank you Mr. Columbus for not making a big enough impact that I didn't get to stay in my bed this morning.  Happy Columbus Day, y'all!

It's bloody cold!

Surprise, Surprise I have slacked off at blogging.  Mainly because while vacation ruined my workouts, it also ruins my work life.  So this week was major catch up with two days being out of the office working!  Making the 3 days I was in the office super busy! Oh well!

I did, however, start Jillian Michaels' this week.  Only missing one day, Friday.  Learned I have to get up in the am to do it on Friday or it just isn't going to get done.  I have even done it in the freezing cold house this weekend.  After 5 days I have really begin to see the difference in how long it takes me to be completely dead  during each activity and my endurance is lasting longer!  Go Jillian!!

Which is brings me to the cold weather....I AM NOT MADE FOR THE COLD WEATHER!

Well, that is about all I have to blog about.  See why I haven't blogged all week?!?

Vacay Ruins Workouts.

I am back!  After a very bittersweet vacation, I am back into the real world.  Please believe that I am SUPER tired, but ready to get back into the swing of things.  But first, a few last pictures from my vacation.

Don't remember if I posted a picture of my platter I painted while up there.  This is pre-fireing so it is much darker then what it appears.

Might have stopped for another cupcake, after a run.

Then went Kayaking on the Puget Sound, this is where we dropped the kayaks in. This is also post cupcake!

Here is Mt. Rainier from the plane, about the only time we really saw it.

And finally the sunset in Phoenix reflecting off the wing of the plane.

Needless to say, vacation was awesome, but working out kinda lagged.  Now that I am back, I have kicked it into high gear, as I have a race not this Saturday, but next!

Monday (10/1):  NEW MONTH!!  I think back when this all started.  I have been blogging for about 3 months now AND working out for about 4.  It doesn't seem that long, but I can sure tell a difference.  I don't own a scale, so I haven't been able to track pounds lose, but that is ok.  I feel better, my husband tells me I look better, I am able to run longer (kinda :o) ), so I guess I will keep going.  Today after work I ran the park again...only WAY slower then last time.  It was a little upsetting that it took me so long, but then again I did something and haven't really run in almost 2 weeks.  Then I went home to do Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred.  Apparently I can lose 20 lbs in 30 days.  Totally not my goal, but getting a different workout in should help my body not stay the same.  It is a challenge for us work girls to do this video, however Martinez choose dancing over Jillian...WHATEVER.

That is really all I got.  Today is another run and Jillian day!  Hope I don't die!
