Oh Monday how I love to hate you!

Well, here we are back at Monday again. I definitely have a love-hate relationship with Mondays..go figure.

Let's see how the day started:

- got to sleep-in til 7 because it is Spring Break and I didn't have to get the mini-me out of bed

- got some extra puppy snuggles between 630 and 7 because I was still in bed.

- ATE BREAKFAST! (Day 5)

Pretty good way to start the day I reckon!

AND THEN!!!


- work is quiet so that is good

- got permission from the bank to defer some loan payments so I can get caught up on bills

- got my ass kicked at gym

- had a healthy post-workout meal of quinoa, turkey boob and asparagus.

and last but not least..drum roll please!

my honey is making supper...healthy chili..made with turkey (ground by hand by my honey as well) because silly me, I have a beef allergy...and I don't want to eat beef unless I know it had a life and wasn't killed in those torture houses...I mean slaughter houses...it's so horrible. I even apologized to a chicken breast a few weeks ago before I cooked it. I know it's just a chicken, but they should be allowed to feel grass under their little feets too.

I think I'm getting the hang of this blogging thing...now how the heck does a person make money doing this?

please read this and become informed!

So far so good

So one of my goals for this month is to develop the habit of eating breakfast every day...today is the 4th and I just finished my bowl of oatmeal. Yes, I put brown sugar AND margarine on it (Vegan Becel). Big deal...the benefits of the oatmeal will FAR outweigh the minor non benefits of the little bit of sugar and marg. I know part of the issue of this plateau that I am on is...I haven't eaten breakfast in months. Hence my determination to make this a habit again.

Another goal is to make sure I don't miss any workouts this month but I've only had one workout so far this month. I am usually good about the workouts barring an illness this one will be met for sure. Next month, I will make it a goal to add another workout in on Saturday.

I am now having a green tea with a dab of honey in it. I try to drink at least one cup of green tea a day, but it's harder to manage to do that at home, so when I do, it's a good thing...:)

Really have to get my diet back on track...I know I don't eat enough. But there is so much that I have to avoid. It's very difficult. I know it's just a matter of planning..and making the time for the prep work. I am working on this as well this month. I really would like to meet my goal of 160 for the Big Day in August (getting hitched on the 19th). 192 yesterday morning...so 32 pounds in 6 months. I know it doesn't sound like much...but I haven't been able to get past 185 in like a year now, no joke....gotta change something up and this is the month I start..:)

Gotta go...gonna go soak in the hot tub....have a great morning everyone!

long time no write

Wow it's been almost a year since I have written anything here. I am hoping to become a more dedicated blogger about whatever strikes my fancy. The problem is I get inspired to write late at night when I am already in bed...what's up with that? I wish I could telepathically record my thoughts so that A) my deepest thoughts and ideas aren't lost while I sleep..and B) I could sleep w/o worrying about forgetting the brilliant things I came up with as I was falling asleep! Kinda the same thing I know...but they are completely related.

So here is my linked in profile if anyone wants to link to me.
