After a stressful day yesterday the pup seems to be feeling a little better. I felt so terrible about what happened yesterday. I ended up sleeping in the basement with her last night in case something happened.
Other than a long walk yesterday I didn't get in any other work outs. I did make a somewhat healthy dinner decision though.
I think it's ridiculous how tired I feel with only flying to the east coast. Woke up at 4am Seattle time to catch my flight yesterday and didn't fall asleep til 1am EST time. my coworker texted me at 8am asking if I was coming down to breakfast... ugh
Now I'm just doing some work and debating: run or nap? nap is pulling ahead slightly, especially since most of my work is done...
morning! my brother and child bride are gone. yay! i have a super busy week, since i've been putting off friends for a long time bc of family, and now with long weekend, everyone wants to do something, and we can't say no because we've been saying no for the past few months. and HELLO long weekend! i'm so excited!
Yesterday I met up with a former student and her mom. She was so sweet! She ran up and gave me a hug and we all just hung out for about an hour. I told her I would check in on her throughout the year to make sure she is behaving! LOL! The very first day of school two years ago she had the worst temper tantrum I had ever witnessed. She has grown up so much since then.
Today is our first official meeting back at school. ALL. DAY. LONG. I'm really starting to stress out about school. I think teachers get more nervous than the kids do!
Tonight I have an hour bike ride planned and a 15-30 minute run afterwards.
Morning! I've been MIA lately with nerdy pax stuff and a cold. But the cold is finally going away and I have a 2 day breather before pax gets really insane. I might actually make it to the gym today!
I think we are finally done moving into the new house! Rooms feel like they're clean, we're down to like three boxes, there's nothing else we need to buy or find off craigslist ... it's downright pleasant here now!
Joenali: that is funny, I had no idea teachers got nervous. I'll have to remember that when I see my teacher friends posting on FB.
Last night wasn't a good night. Drank some wine, ate some chocolate and had a major knot in my back. I hate feeling stressed. Today I have a mani/pedi after work hopefully that helps me relax a bit. I can't workout with my back feeling this way.
Good morning!! I had an interview yesterday at Chase bank. I worked there 2 years ago and left to get a full time job. Since then things have changed and I need to go back to part time since DH works 7 days a week and I want to make money but be home when I can to see him. We also really need the insurance benefits. Long story short, I ended up getting a voicemail yesterday to call back today at 9am or later to discuss a job offer. WAHOO!! Now I am waiting until 9am so call.
Today I work until 4 so I am hoping to get to the gym after but I have some errands I need to run that I should have done this weekend. Ooops, guess thats what I should have done instead of seeing The Dark Knight Rises.
I'm so glad I stayed home yesterday. I got to feeling worse as the day went on, but got lots of rest and I woke up much better today. Still a little hopped up on sudafed, but nothing major. I did not work out yesterday and didn't eat all that healthy either, but I didn't each a lot so it could have gone worse.

I went to the fair with my dad yesterday. It was his treat, and when Tman and I got tired and said we were ready to head out (after nearly 6 hours there), he made comments (in a "joking" manner) about how we had gotten all his money out of him, so now it was time to go. It frustrated me so bad. He invited us and said that he wanted it to be his treat (since I told him that we are pinching pennies during James's trial at work). He always acts like we are using him when we let him pay for stuff for us, but it was his idea! Ugh.
Anyway, I ate reasonable at the fair: one corn dog, small section of elephant ear, and a couple bites of Tman's cheeseburger. But, by the time we got my dad dropped off, we were both hungry again, so I stopped at McDonald's and had 2 regular cheeseburgers. Then, traffic made me so wound up, I had 2 scones that we brought home. I'm hoping the 6 hours or walking helped burn off some of the calories ingested.
Our water is off today for them to do some kind of repairs. I didn't get a shower. I did manager to get a few tupperware containers filled so we can brush our teeth and wash our hands, but I could use a shower.
We have some grocery shopping to do and then relaxing - yesterday took it out of both of us.
Hope everyone is feeling bettter today! I crashed pretty early last night. It was so nice to get a decent amount of sleep!
I'm meeting up with a friend tonight for a walk around Green Lake & some girl time. Her & her H just got back from vacation, so I'm looking forward to getting caught up with her.
I slept mug better last night even though I got kicked in the face at 6:30. I'm now waiting to clock in at work. I hope it's an easy day but since tomorrow is the first day of school it's probably going to be crazy.

Is it Friday yet? I'm impatiently waiting for a few managers to respond to my emails regarding a few projects, and they are ignoring me whenever I try to track them down to get an answer. I wouldn't mind a random bout of projectile vomiting or explosive diarrhea that would get me out of the office and back at home right now
I was good and healthy yesterday with my eating and working out. Working out even seemed easy, despite being in the stuffy, hot gym.

ashley - congrats! I hope the offer is something acceptable to you.
I woke up with a giant blister on the arch of my foot. It didn't hurt yesterday, no warning. nothing. SOB.
I found out that DH is golfing at one of the most expensive golf courses in the US. 1) he doesn't golf well, lost 18 balls yesterday and 2) he drank WAY to much last night. The company is certainly losing money by having him there.

I think I am fighting off what ever you girls are getting. I hope it doesn't grab hold. I really don't want to get sick right now.
I had ice cream last night after my big meeting, so a fail on a healthy day for me. Today marks my start up of working out again after my week off. Part of me is excited. Part of me is dreading it. I'm sure I'll feel better in the long run.
After my weekend of just eating what I felt like, looks like I've gained back almost a pound. I'm still a little shocked as I didn't actually eat ALL that crazy! Just higher calorie than I should for any weight loss so I just frigging give up on my body. I went back to logging yesterday and was only 83 over, but I am SO FRIGGING HUNGRY TODAY!! I forgot to bring my trail mix so don't have my mid-morning snack and am going to have to have lunch early with too many calories to be able to function. But, I'm not out of the danger zone yet so I have to suck it up. What am I going to do when y'all are done in a week?! I may not be competing in the challenge, but seeing you all be better helps motivate me to not be a total slacker. I have at least 4-5 weeks to go before I will consider myself back at acceptable, if not ideal, weight.
