Gorgeous!

OMG the weather is gorgeous! WOW!
It was amazing today, I walked outside to check the temp and ran in to find summer clothes!!!
So, today I had to go to a 'going away' lunch at work. Two of the guys got hired with two different police services. YAY for them. They served pizza, wings, and cake. Oh god, haha not good food, but sooo tasty. I had two small pieces of pizza and a few wings with carrots and celery on the side.

I got to wear a cute denim skirt, tank and cardigan! Loved this weather today.

After the lunch I head to the boy's house. We hung out for the afternoon, then made a delicious summer dinner. We bbq'd steak, shrimp, and made sweet potato fries. It was sooo good!
I regret not having a salad a little, but oh well I'll make up for it tomorrow.
Check out the boy's fat cat Furball, haha!
Tonight I decided just to stay in. I packed a little here and there, I should do some laundry but I think I'll wait until Sunday to do that. I baked chocolate chip cookies (the light version)
they are yummy but I am glad we're having ppl over tomorrow or else I would devour them all myself!!! Thus I am snack on baby carrots as a snack instead of more cookies.
Anyways, I'm off for a little late night rollerblade before I crash!

Anyone have good weekend plans?

I work tomorrow 12-10, then heading out for a night on the town with friends, Sunday ball hockey, then I work midnights Sun. night until Thurs night....boo haha!

Have a great weekend!

Head on over to Jenny's blog for a sweet giveaway!
YUMMY

Greys Night :)

I think this is the first time I have actually sat down and watched Grey's at home...weird...I usually just catch it online.

Well since I left you last I have done nothing! It feels sooooo GREAT to just relax. I watched Underworld II and had lunch. Bowl of tomato soup with some shredded cheese,
half of a banana chocolate chip muffin (I think it was starting to go bad, wasn't very good)
and the last of my strawberries. Yum!
Other then that I have just been surfing the net, casually picking up around the house, got a few boxes out to pack, and watched some T.V with a few stretches and random exercises inbetween. I was going to go to the gym and just hit up the elliptical but decided against and will go in the morning. My week of not running is almost over and my hip/knee are feeling about 1000 times better, even after doing legs yesterday!!! I just keep stretching it out, my knee still kills, but is improving.

Now I just had dinner and am watching Grey's!!!! A solidly good day!
I may or may not have gobbled up all the veggies before I remembered to take a picture (mixed veggies; green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots; half a chicken breast; and some potatoes)

After Grey's, is private practice DUH! But then I am not sure what I am doing. A few friends and my roomie are going to a bar near by I might meet up with them later, I will not be drinking tonight but I think the walk over there would be nice. I usually head to a friend's with some of the guys from work, have mentioned them a few times before. We usually hang out at god awful hours of the night, but one of them is sick!!! So, looks like we're just going to do different things tonight.

Anyways, Hope you guys had a fantastic day and I will catch up with you all tomorrow.

Can you spot the cat?

Hey everybody!
It's almost the weekend! Which I am sure lots of you are looking forward to, but me, well I work all weekend, so oh well I am enjoying the week!

So I woke up today, lounged around. Realized that my roommate and I are having friends over this weekend, and our house is a disaster! She never cleans, ever. Myself on the other hand, a little cleaner. I have become accustomed to the slight cluttered/messyness of student living, but cannot handle visible dirt! So I took a whole half hour and swept the whole house. Next up just going to wipe down all the surfaces, probably only another half hour. So in total, I will have probably spent an hour tidying up to make our house semi-presentable.

Anyone else a little anal on the cleanliness? I am not a neat freak, just can't have other people in my house when it's a disaster.

Other then that, I ate an apple, did 20 minutes of yoga (Polly's yoga for runners and then yoga for triathletes) Felt GREAT!

Now, I am sitting here starving and wondering what to eat. Probably some left over tomato soup and cheese, and not sure what else because I know for sure that will NOT fill me up.

Funny thing, when I woke up, I couldn't find my cat anywhere, but while doing yoga I spotted her!
Can you see her?
No? Here's a closer look.
And a little closer (she's black and blends in) That's my junk chair, it's my project for the day to put everything in a box to be packed, or in it's place if I still need to use it.

Have a great Thursday!

AHHH :)

I ended up having such a lovely day.
On my way to the gym, after my apple my stomach was still screaming feed me, so I grabbed 4 yogurt covered pretzels to tide me over.

Work out was good! I did:
10mins on the stationary bike for a warm up (burned 75 cals).
Squats (15 with just the bar, 15 with 10 on each side, and 15 with 15 on each side).
Lunges (20lbs, and 20 of them) was going to do more, but I just hate them!
Dead lifts (15 with 30lbs, 30 with 45lbs).
Stair machine (15 mins) then I got bored
Planks (on elbows) 1x45secs, 2x30sec
Side planks (on elbows) each side for 25secs
15 reverse crunches

then lots of stretching!!!!

Bussed home then made this delicious fruit smoothie.











Then showered and made some fish and rice and a lovely salad (Italian green mix, cucumber and carrots, with a little drizzle of baslamic vinagrette!


























Sucks, I'm still hungry! Going to wait it out, then maybe have a half a bagle with PB!

I was going to watch Underworl II but the boy stopped by. But i'm heading to a friends have a great night everybody.

Happy Earth Day!

Hope everyone's "hump day" is going quickly!
Mine is going well, I have done pretty much nothing!! But before I get onto today, I'll finish up yesterday.

I ended up heating up left over hamburger for the boy and I yesterday afternoon (late).
They were delicious. His mom makes them and freezes them for me, so nice:). We also snack on some fresh strawberries!

So, he and I hung out in the livingroom watching some mindless T.V. for about 45 minutes before my mom and sister stopped by. My mom drove down to pick my sister up because she is going home for the summer. It was a good visit, but much to short! So I think the boy and I will be making a trip up north sometime soonish.

So, after my mother and sister got back on the road, the boy and I were heading to his house so he could study some more. But, before I could leave I found the mysteriously hidden magic bullet and made a fruit smoothie!!!!! YUM! I added frozen berries (black, rasp, blue, and straw) and some fruit juice. OMG, I love fruit smoothies.

So, when we got to his house, his mom fed us some chicken and potatoe wedges. YUM! I wasn't that hungry so I didn't eat very many.

Then he studied a little, but not for long. We ended up watching Rocky IV. My boy LOVES these movies, not for the boxing part, but for the life lesson parts, so he says. I don't mind them, this one was probably my fav. so far. During the movie I snack on two cookies.
Mindless snacking but they were so good!

Eventually he studied some more and I watched online tv and snack on a bowl of popcorn. :)
Ball hockey rocked, as usual. Played a slightly aggressive team, I got smoked from behind, my back hurts today, but oh well part of them game. We won 5-0, I didn't score but got a few assits.

After hockey, I went back to the boys (I had his car) and then we headed to my house. I showered and the boy had a friend over. We all had a good chat, it was nice to catch up. I snacked on some tomato soup with left over tortellini noodles mixed in.
Good and filling for the rest of the night. To finish the night off we watched some TV, did nothing special and went to bed.

So, today! The weather sucks, again! Oh well. I woke up around noon, my goal of sleeping in was successful. I snacked on a handful of dark chocolate m&m's and half a bagle with strawberry cream cheese.

After I headed back to my bed and watched Underworld. I really enjoy that movie. So now, I just snacked on an apple and another small handful of m&m's and am getting ready to head to the gym.
Going to hammer out a lower body workout, half hour on the step machine (never tried it before) . I forgot my new orthotics at work, so I can't run. Going to try new cardio endeavours today and pick up my orthotics tomorrow I think.

All day I am running through ideas to use up all the food left in my house before I move May 1, but I am getting all excited to bu and try new foods! Going to try and incorporate more greens (kale, spinach) oats, and veggies into my diet. But I don't have the grocery budget and or room until I move so, using up what i got and when I move man do I have a monster grocery list!
Excited :)

Anyways, gotta catch the bus to the gym!

Rainy Again :(

Hey everyone,
Hope your Tuesday is rockin'.

Before I get onto today, I'll update everyone on yesterday.

So Monday, not always a bad day, but blah! When it's pouring rain, and cloudy, and dark, I never want to get out of bed. But I got up, made the boy get up, then we went and picked my sister up in her res and headed to his house. We had a late lunch there of tortellini and pesto sauce, yum! Not photographed, sorry, didn't bring camera to his house.

After that, my sister and I headed to the mall for shopping!!!!
It was great, we didn't shop for long, but it was much needed retail therapy. I bought a couple summer dress and a few tanks. Just a little to update my non-existent summer wardrobe.

At the mall my sister and I grabbed a sub from Subway, we were starving! All that walking around and trying things definitely works up one's appetite.

So after shopping, we ate the subs at my house then I drove her back to res. I was about to settle in for a night of relaxing when my cell phone started going crazy! Text from the boy begging for study help, of course I caved and went over to help him. But then a few different friends were having people over to celebrate school being over and such. So I went to the boys for a bit, helped him out, then went to a friends and then to a bar called Chilli Pepper. Bar was fun, saw a few friends, had 1 beer and 1 mixed drink and then headed home.

At home I got all ready for bed, was watching tv and about to pass out. The darn boy calls and can't sleep so he's coming over. He can't sleep,,,,but what about me?!! Haha, I was ALMOST asleep. Oh well, he came over, we talked, well he talked I mumbled in my half asleep state. Then eventually I think I passed out and he did, well I am not sure what he did.

So, today I woke up and didn't do much. Fumbled around the house, picked some things up, packed a few things, threw a few things out and such. I snacked on a Kashi cherry and chocolate chip bar. Then, I went to the bookstore to sell back a few books. JEEPERS! Buying books in university is such a rip off! GAH! I sold back about 7 books and only got $58.00. Sucks when I spent at least $300.00 on those books. Not to mention they didn't buy back 6 of my other books I wanted to sell. I am keeping a few books, but wanted to sell some of my elective ones.

So, I reeeeeeally wanted a fruit smoothie, but my roommate must have packed her magic bullet or something, I can't find it, and she's napping so I can't ask. Maybe my sister will lend me hers for the summer so I don't go in withdrawal. So, since I can't have a fruit smoothie, I snacked on a piece of frozen chocolate bunny (all solid easter bunnies I get, I break into pieces and freeze),
and now am off to have a left over hamburger.

I will be back later on most likely, am going to do NOTHING all day, well relax, nap, watch TV since it's so crappy out, then I have ball hockey game later tonight followed by a ton of yoga because my muscles are soooo tight, yikes.

Side note:
I'll leave you with a few pictures of my adorable cat! Everytime I am blogging or reading, she is always cuddling!



Also, when I came home from work Saturday night, I was met with this little guy outside of my door. After I screamed a little, I took a picture haha!

TTYL!
