I'm failing miserably on all fronts this week. Though my MIL did give me a hydracoach bottle for my birthday, so now I can track my water intake and since it's an electronic gadget, it makes drinking water more fun. :laugh: We've gone straight from ear infections into teething. And trying to switch the boy over to formula is not working so my plans to wean are looking shaky. So I'm trying to come up with some sort of workable plan for getting my exercise in. It seems that waking up at 4 am is about the only solution I can come up with. At least being a dairy cow burns crazy calories... need to get better at tracking what I'm eating.

LOL, glutton for mutton. I love gyros.

Are you feeling any better, shorty, or still dealing with the pain?

Enjoy the psycho-lady special, Stacy!

Happy Thursday, or as I like to call it Mini-Friday.

I've started doing a 15min morning workout to start my day, and so far it's going OK. I just can't seem to get my booty out of bed early enough to get in a "real" morning workout. So I do 25 jumping jacks, 15 tricep dips, 15 bicep curls, 12 arnold presses, 10 push ups (girly style for me), 15 ball crunches, and 1min plank. Repeat 3 times and stretch for 2-3 mins. Tomorrow will be legs, back and butt. I'm going to try and do this 7 days a week.

The weather has gotten colder, and now they are saying we might get some snow this weekend. BOOOO! Guess it's fighting for equipment at the gym for the next few days anyways. I do buddy up sometimes, and for cardio I usually just ask someone how much time they have left and come back when they are done.

I did have a great deal going on with a guy that always got to the gym the same time as I do, we'd pair up on weight machines and shared a bench for free weights. Then he went and asked me out! haha. He is maybe 20, and am 33 and so not single. It's flattering but now he avoids me. :ohwell: Guess some guys are just into sweaty, no makeup, hair in a messy pony tail kinda women.

That's a great deal, Debbie!

We tried mixing it. He just gagged and then started screaming and refused to take his pacifier for fear we'd somehow trick him into drinking poison again. He's pretty dramatic for a 5.5 month old. :laugh:

@Amanda: aww...poor guy! lol Having a work out buddy always helps so much! hopefully you will find another person to buddy up with that won't ruin it by asking you out!

My day is starting off slowly...still laying around...day off today.

I am concerned though, my cat keeps having sneezing fits, that I started noticing last night.... hmmm.

The scale finally moved today! only .8 but I will take that! Only lost like 1.5 pounds this month due to my slacking and work schedule, well and cruise...May is a whole new month and I am going to conquer!

Have a great day everyone!

Thanks Susie!

I've been thinking that maybe she is allergic to vinegar? My friend told me to mix vinegar and water to spray to get rid of her pee smells.

She has a habit of acting out...I confirmed from vet, that she was healthy when she was doing it...now she does it occasionally. It's soooo annoying!

Probably the vinegar.

The vet did say that her one fang was getting bad, where one day it may need to be removed (that was like a yr ago?)...I'm hoping that's not the case. I figure give it a few days and see...

Back to the gym today! I have a good feeling about meeting my Elite+ goal this week.

My eating is super out of wack today. I need to track and then figure out some actual food. Gonna have to figure out better plans for lunch. Pretzel Slims and hummus do not a lunch make!

Stacy - Are you seeing a personal trainer everyday? Even if you're not, it sounds super intense!

Susan - I always go up a pound or two the day after lifting. Sometimes it feels like it is all lactic acid!
Mmmm, gyro.

Amanda - Love your little mini workout! Sorry you lost your lifting buddy to your irresistible-ness. :-)

Ok, off to eat something that could reasonably be considered a meal...

SG

Ellie, they can be a pain, but they can have moments of awesomeness too! my kitty is actually cuddling up near me right now. lol, it;s a love/hate relationship! good luck to you with the cats!

goodnight all!
