monday. boo. oh and healthy stuff.

[Deleted]

Anyone else dreading Monday as much as I did this morning? My bed was so warm and comfy and the outside was so dark and cold. It looks like we're in for a beautiful sun rise though.

Not too much happened this weekend, went to see my parents and h's parents, ran a few errands and that's about it.

I haven't made it to the gym in a while, but I have been walking betty 2-3 miles a day. That counts, right?

Happy Monday!

Walking betty totally counts.

We just got back from my BFF's wedding in Atlanta last night. It was a great little wedding (only 40 people, basically the WP, family, and like 5-10 friends of theirs) and my toast was not a total disaster. And nothing at work burned down, either!

But now we just found out the post office hasn't been delivering our mail b/c our mailbox isn't reachable from the car . So I have to WFH (which means no gym) and figure out what the deal is.

Happy monday everybody!

Totally agree that walking Betty counts. I really hate waking up when it's dark and cold. It's so damn hard for me to get motivated to wake up, I just can't stand it.

It's dh and my first wedding anniversary today. Although we have nothing exciting planned (we went to dinner sat night). I think we're going to get Chinese takeout and drink champagne after my rehearsal tonight. I still can't believe it's been a year though!

Happy anniversary EiP!

Yep, also dreading Monday here. I've been slacking on the healthy stuff too. Back at it this week.

We had a pretty low key weekend. Made major progress clearing out our den to convert it to a guest room. Oh and I found $100 in cash cleaning out the closet, so that was pretty exciting.

Have a good Monday everyone... Looks like this sunny weather is gonna continue into October!

morning! i was totally dreading waking up today, too. but i'm pretty sure i dread waking up every day. so no change here.

we had a great time during color run and eating around portland. my legs/body are exhausted...so i'm done with working out for the year!

have a great day everyone!

Definitely dreading this morning. I've been awake since 4 and I couldn't get back to sleep. I have a dentist appt this morning, and I loathe going. My last appt was a year ago because they ended up giving me 2 shots of novocaine for a "deep cleaning" and another 2 for a filling. I was sore for 3 days, so I kept putting off going back.

As far as healthy stuff goes, I've been doing pretty well, but I had a bad experience after eating pizza and doughy sticks with apple butter on Saturday. I'm calling the doc to go in and test for The Diabeetus. I'm so scared. I'm the only person in my family who doesn't have it yet.

Otherwise today should be good. I'm planning to get my nails done afterward. I tried doing them myself over the weekend, but after messing them up 5 times, I realized it would just be better to pay someone who knows what they're doing. I'm also getting last-minute school supplies, which I'm stupid excited about, lol.

Good morning!

I had a pretty good, but low key weekend. Friday night, hung out at home with my brother. Saturday I went to Ikea, and did some other shopping at Southcenter then headed back to my hair appointment. My hair is super dark now. Like almost black. I do love it, but it's definitely taking some getting used to. I think I look much better as a brunette vs a blonde.

Sunday, I went to a new church, and hung out at home. Nothing too exciting at all.

Today I feel like crap. Horrible cramps and I feel really sick to my stomach. It's gonna be a long day.

Good morning. After getting Tman off to school, I'm easing myself into the day with a few minutes online and some coffee. My animals are all just lounging right in front of me, and they look so cozy I really just want to curl up with them on the couch.

James did his first of three all-day Saturdays in class this last week. It sucked. Tman and I just stuck around here and were super lazy (movies, legos, baking, cleaning up, etc.). I need to plan something for the next couple weekends so we don't end up doing that all the time.

Yesterday was church, quick Costco trip, and relaxing.

Happy Anniversary EIP!

I'm back to work after a 4-day weekend, but I have Friday off this week, so it's going to be a short week again ;D

Thursday night was amazing with the Husky win, and this week we play the Ducks :::BOO!::: It's going to be a tough game!

I am so proud of my H and I, we both spent a lot of time after the Hawks game yesterday cleaning the apartment. It looks so much better, and I don't know why but the cleanness makes me happier

I soooo didn't want to get out of bed this morning. Our cat was curled up beside me. The puppy was snoozing on the bed and our other dog was on the floor next to the bed. It was an emotionally draining weekend. I needed a day to recover. Saturday we went to a memorial service for a fallen firefighter. I never want to go to one of those again.

Good morning. We all slept great last night. My own bed was so nice. Nothing planned today other than unpacking the car and doing the laundry from our trip.

[jennlin]

LL--that's awesome! you really are an inspiration!

[picksthemusic]

Yeah, I wasn't looking forward to today. I'm working with a different (and much slower) doctor than I usually do, and it's been nuts already. I can't wait for today to be OVER.

On the bright side, we'll be in Vegas this time next week!

Hope everyone's days go well!

[FrozenSunshine]

Had an awesome dinner in Vegas last night. DH's conference starts this afternoon, so I'll probably hit a few slots and maybe shopping.

Happy Anniversary EIP!

I also had a low key week end. H cleaned most of the house for me. It looks really really good. I was so grateful. I got my oil changed. Sunday was football.

Sunday I went for my first run in almost three weeks. Felt good but it was way harder than it should be. Like the rest of you I am not motivated to get out of bed in the morning with it being so cold. It's going to be hard to get up to work out. I think since it is still light out at night I'll run afterwork two days this week. I really don't want to start up my gym membership again. I'm hoping the new CF gym I want to go to works out. Then I'll CF MWF during the winter and run on Sat Sun. I plan to start CF up either Fri or Wed next week. I'm scared to go back. I know if I take it slow I'll be okay, but I really don't want my back to hurt any more. I wish my fav. trainer had a session I could make during the week. Maybe I'll message her. She really helped my abs last time I pulled a muscle in my back.

Today I don't have much going on. Glad to only be working 8 hour days this week. I've already spent my morning buying two new sweaters from GAP/BR. I should work on my Christmas list too.

I was ok with getting out of bed just because I ACTUALLY felt rested. Plus, DH had to get up much earlier than usual for company wide meeting, so I had that extra time in bed after he got up so I felt like I got to sleep in a little bit.

Ended up skipping the chocolate festival yesterday as I was feeling run down. H came and woke me UP at 11:42!!! The usual rule is if I'm not out of bed by 11, he comes and gets me but he lost track of time. Usually, I'm just lazing in bed being cozy, but this time I was still mostly asleep. My body needed it I guess. Went to friends' "pre-housewarming" party to see the house they bought. They won't be moving in until just after the new year as they have a bunch of renovating to get done first.
