IT'S NEW FLOORS DAY!!! (kitchen and dining room) So I'm holed up downstairs with the dogs for the forseeable future. We're watching Total Divas and I'm getting ready to ponder what to order from amazon with the GC my husband got me for Mother's day. Besides some orginal formula cherry limeade Nuun, of course
I can't decide if my dog is being extra cute lately or if living alone is turning me into a crazy(er) dog lady. Oh well.
I'm going with being extra cute...though being a crazier dog lady is never a bad thing either
Turns out original formula cherry Nuun is going for $54 on amazon. Plus $9 shipping. And it's not Prime eligible. I might have to start trying my Tailwind samples...
I have a little bit of tendonitis in my right foot/ankle and I'm a little nervous about my 50K in 2.5 weeks. Fortunately spinning doesn't seem to aggravate it.
It looks like we might get a whole week of actual warm, sunny weather starting Thursday and I cannot wait! This spring was miserably rainy and cold, even by Portland standards.

You know my feelings about Nuun, so FWIW, I like the taste of Tailwind almost as much. If only it weren't so many calories, I would drink it like I used to drink Nuun.

It's one my dogs birthday's today. Since we're remodeling and have the electrician there today H took them to doggie daycare. As he was dropping them off there was another person also dropping off two vizslas. Holy crap 4 of them, that is going to be one crazy play group.

osulori - I found that the sugar form they use in tailwind gave me a stomachache, but I like the flavor ok. Definitely a trial and error process. (Before I was insulin resistant, I settled on pure maltodextrin mixed with cranberry juice and water as my best fuel source.)
Today is R's first day at his new job. I'm so excited for him!
I weighed something out and was all "That CANNOT be 150g!" Ugh.
Haha. I made a rookie mistake and made a recipe for energy bites without calculating the calories until getting to work today.
The bites were supposed to curb my desire to seek out and eat a big cafeteria cookie after lunch... BUT My Fitness Pal tells me it probably has double the calories of a large peanut butter cookie. I don't know what I was thinking. It has peanut butter and coconut and seeds and chocolate chips. Of course it has 500 calories a serving.

I ate it anyway. I'll make it work, lol.
Ahh, this happened to me last month when I was all "oh yeah, I'll make my own Kind bars and it'll totes be less calories."
LOLOLOLOL. 220 cals vs. 350 cals. How does Kind do it? Do they have some kind of sorcery that I don't have?!

I'm feeling pretty accomplished today and a little hungry. Two awesome workouts before 12:30PM. Strength at 6:30am, then a great 6 mile run at lunch time. It was my first time getting ready at work. It went good. I think I will do it again. The only downside is feeling like a sherpa carrying so much crap.
I'm totally rolling my eyes at somebody on my Nextdoor site. They asked about an agency that can rectify the situation where somebody is flying a tattered, dirty American flag. LOL. As much as I find this distasteful, I'm pretty sure this isn't Nazi Germany and you are free to fly dirty flags on your private property. Nextdoor really brings out the worst in people, IME.

Osulori those look gorgeous.
Trying to get up motivation to do weights. Chilling with my dogs. H and I have put our list of houses together and he is hopefully house hunting this weekend.
It's my last week of work! I'm so excited, and also can't believe it's here! Everyone is still texting me with all of their requests instead of utilizing my replacement, so I won't really feel like I'm wrapping up until they start leaving me alone.
I'm at school right now proctoring final exams for a student who made poor life choices. I get to do the same thing tomorrow. I haven't seen my kids since Wednesday night last week, but good thing I'm here. UGH. I drank allll day yesterday, but I need a drink.

I actually got to the pool today and swam 500 yards. 10x50 yards, working my way up to 100 yard repeats slowly. Then I did a core workout this afternoon and ran 3 miles tonight with my running group.
My abs were so sore after my 8 mile run on Saturday. I really never realized how much core strength is needed to run until I had none.
I survived a 3000yd swim after work, which entailed sharing a lane with two erratic swimmers, a grabass, and two kids who decided to start horsing around and then got yelled at by yours truly.
I will give you $20 if one of these days at the pool you just scream "GET OFF MY LAWN" at one of these fools.

Is this a swimming term with which I am unfamiliar, or did somebody actually TOUCH you? Lord help this person.
