Feeling more together! All day yesterday I had a super headache. Definitly wouldof been a migraine if I didn't catch it in time. After I got out of work the BF and I went to get sushi. After eating sushi I actually felt better, about time! We then went home and decided to do grocery shopping today instead.
I watched the biggest loser last night woohoo! While watching it I did two loads of laundry, did the dishes, cleaned our bedroom, re-organized my closet (pulled the long sleeve shirts up to the front), and changed the sheets on my bed. After having a busy weekend full of work I wasn't able to clean my house and it made me feel not together. Now with at least my bedroom cleaned and dishes done I'm starting to feel more together.. Tonight planning on doing bathroom 1 and our media room, as well as the cat box.
In yesterdays post I asked for some recipes anyone can send my way. While watching the biggest loser they made food and gave a website for biggest loser recipes. They said each dish they made last night was under 7 dollars! Which is great. I'm going to hunt a few of those down tonight.
OMG my BF woke up about diabetes! The bf was listening to the biggest loser while he was playing a computer game. Diabetes runs very strong in his family! His mother is over weight with diabetes so bad she is actually on an insulin pump and she just started diayisis for her kidney about a month ago. My BF refuses to go get tested for diabetes. I keep trying to tell him that we can prevent diabetes... his mother did not excercise and eat right and let her self get over weight and have these issues. If he has prediabtes (like his sister does) now we can do things to prevent it (like she is doing). He is scard and doesn't want to know. I told him that he better get checked before he asks me to marry him, because I will NOT marry him if he doesn;t.. He said he will do that.. so we will see...... SOOOO back to him listening to the biggest loser... after the two guys got kicked off last night and they were doing the 4 month later interview one of the guys said... "My diabetes has went away!" And I said "See baby you hear that!" He was wow'ed by it. Then this morning he says to me.. "I was thinking Sunday we go for a good mountain bike ride through a state park." BINGO!!!! maybe that sunk in a bit. I still want him to get checked for diabetes.. I'll even get checked with him. You would think he sees the suffering his mother is going through with this disease and he would want to prevent this from happening to him early. We'll see.
Anyways... TOday on lunch I plan on doing another 45 min walk woohoo. Day 2 of 22. I gotta keep this up. The weekends will be the hardest part but I can do this!
For fooding today: Banana Plumb nutrigrain bar Soup. I think for dinner we are having pasta.
Any good and easy recipese out there?? send my way please!
Great Idea! Thanks guys for the cooler thoughts. I will put that into use the next time I'm working all weekend like that. For my normal 9-5 job I bring an insulated lunch bag and pack it with healthy stuff... I should bring that along to my long jobs on the weekend too.. I don't understand why I never thought of that... hmmmm
This morning I woke up with a headache.. I still have it.. :( Thankfully it's not a migraine and I think/hope I can get rid of it before it turns into a migraine.
So yesterday was a bit stressful. Not only was I super tired all day. My BF's mother was emailing me all stressing out about this car the bf is getting. She makes issues way bigger then they are. Currently he's having issues with the bank trying to get this car because he's not a regular w4 type of employee. He's a 1099 employee and not fully on books. So the bank is asking him and his mother for this and that and this and more of that. Granted the bank wants all this stuff yet the woman (his mother) was stressing out about what they wanted and freaking... Thank god she never bought a house... the stress is alot more worse then a car.. trust me I bought 2 houses I know. (I wouldn't want to see her in that situation lol) So after talking to him he said he was going to tell his mother to leave me alone I don't need all this. So hopefully she wont email me and stress me out today. And hopefully this car ordeal will be done and over with today!
Last night Heroes premiered! YAY I love that show! Tonight TBL is on.. :) YAY hopefully I will catch it fully and not the last 5 mins.
Yesterday I did pretty well on food. I think tonight we will be hitting the grocery store, I ran out of lettuce for salads. Also pick up some extras, start stocking up on soup for the winter months that are coming ahead.. We are going to try to eat home more often then eating out to help save our costs. I need to start hunting down recipes because we have a tendency to eat the same things week after week. And honestly that gets so boring.
Any good and easy recipese out there?? send my way please!
oh yes that is so what i am! This weekend i didn't rest or anything of that sort. Friday night I went to bed earlyish.. (11:30). We had to wake up saturday morning at 7 to be at the shop at 9. We then loaded all of our DJ gear, lighting gear and video gear into the truck and went to set up a big wedding event. The wedding started at 6:30 and went till 12 AM. We then had to tear down ALL of our equipment and put it away correctly because we had a wedding the next night of the same scale. I didn't get home till about 2AM. We went tright to bed and had to do it ALL over again on Sunday. Ugh
It was super hard waking up this morning... but I think the $600.00 weekend made up for it. Fooding wise I was not that good at all. It's hard when you are on the run like this, becuase you are trying to eat what you can on the go. Saturday I had: Coffee, banana, Sausage egg and cheese on a crosiant (sooo bad!). Then 2 double cheese burgers, some fries, a coke, chicken, aspiragus, roasted potatoes. For Sunday we got a little spoiled. Coffee, then brunch which I had: Eggs benedict, bacon, sausage, raw salmon, raw salon w/ creme cheese on a bagel, cooked salon, pumpkin pie. then I was full for the rest of the day till dinner time at the wedding which was: Salad, pasta, stuffed shrimp. I barley touched my dinner mainly only ate the shrimp without alot of the stuffing.. and drank lots and lots of water.
I'm still not hungry this morning. I did have a banana this morning though just to kick in my metabolism. I didn't dare weigh myself this morning. I still have all that food in me. Granted lifting all of our gear and so on probably burned a good amount of that food off.
On another note... Heros is on tonight!!!!!!! I LOVE that show! I'm so excited and can't wait. I just don't hope I fall asleep during it. It is possible considering how tierd I am at the moment. I also have volleyball after work today.. and hopefully we are picking up the new car as well. Yes Jeppy finally found a car. 2008 huandai accent. we are getting a super good deal on it.. and it only has 5 miles!!! Not bad at all. So hopefully we get it tonight because we have been car pulling for the last 2 weeks and it kindof sucks. but been nice cuz I haven't had to put gas in my car hehehe He has been using it.
Ok,.. anyways I'm coming to say hi to all of yall. :) Have a great day everyone.
YAY I lost 3 pounds this week!!!!! Thank god this week is almost over! Granted I did pick up video camera work at two weddings this weekend so I will be busy and not able to rest and putz around, but hey at least I won't be at my regular 9-5 type of job.
Yesterday on my lunch I went for a decent walk around the city, it was nice out and kindof cool.. but oh so hot in the sun. Today is definitly feeling like a fall type of day. I wish I had an hour lunch so I can get in some good walking, but I only have half an hour today so I can get to my volleyball game on time.
Last night we did much of nothing. The BF picked me up from work, we went home and started prepping dinner together. I love it when we cook together. Granted I made the salads he did everything else, but I got to add spices and seasonings to what we were cooking. For dinner we had lean steak that was thinly sliced as well, mashed pototes and steamed broccali. we also had salads before dinner. It was super good! For the rest of the night we played this word game we have become addicted to and watched ghost hunters. we were in bed sleeping by 10:30 lol.
I woke up around 3am due to a nightmare I was having.. :( I had a dream that I was in the parkinglot to some shopping mall and there was a really tall building. news hellicopters were everywhere and there were like 6 people on the roof of the building...... then......... they jumped and splat to the ground 20 feet to my right.. It was really graphic and really scary. Wierd dreams I'm telling ya.
Today after work I have another volleyball game. Then I have a big home work assignment due tonight. Lots of coding and making a webpage. Maybe I'll go see this band that my BF is doing sound for tonight. It sounds pretty interesting, they made harps out of elastic bands, and a drum set out of clay pots and so on.
TOday I have for food: breakfast bar apple Plumb Salad (I might get soup as well) apple sauce. Not sure yet what's for dinner. I may eat some left overs from last night.
Now hopefully EP fixed up the site errors I was having and I can say hello to all of you.
Anyone else having issues trying to read other peoples blogs? I click on someone to open thier block and I get an error on page. Thier back ground comes up but nothing else.
Good morning... Phew I'm exhausted! I could barley wake up this morning! Just got to work and I am still half asleep.
Last nights volleyball game went well. Out of the 4 games that we play we won 2 and lost 2. The team went out to margaritas afterwards. I only had 2 coors lights. I was thiking about getting a margarita but with all the sugar in those things I opted not too. After dinner we all left and I went to my sisters to get my house key.. (Yes I didn't have a key to my own house last night.. It was on the keychain my BF had lol)
While I was there my nephew and his father made cupcakes an hour ago, so my nephew was like.. "Here aunti this is for you!" and he gave me one. Then he took another one and said, "This is for uncle jeppy, auntie don't eat it! It's uncle Jeppys!" He was too adorable! I had to take a pic of him holding out the baggie with the muffin in it and sent it to him. Then when I got home I wrote: To Jeppy from Jayden and put the muffin on top of it.. hehe see attached pics. (Never mind can't attach pics at this moment cuz hosting sites are blocked at work)
Yeah when I got home I did nothing that I said I was going to... :( I played a few video games on the computer, caught the end of the biggest loser and went to bed. Today I have an hour lunch, during my lunch I'm going to start walking again since it's pretty chilly today. I'm not sure what is in store for tonight, I do know jeppy is looking at a car today that he wants to buy.. so hopefully that will all be settled soon.
Ok time to get some work done.. Talk to you all soon.
Today is going to be a short and sweet blog. I don't really have much to write about. We went grocery shopping Sunday wooohooo so I have lots of little healthy snacks.
menu: Banana Plumb Apple Breakfast bar 2 cups pasta (for lunch and for energy for my volleyball game) and half cup of chili.
geesh I'm a hungry lady!. At least it's all healthy. The pasta and the protein from the chilli will help greatly with my volleyball game tonight. Everyone from the team is planning on going out for some drinks after the game today. most of them will be eating there as well, but I think I'll just get a drink or two then have dinner with my mother later. Even though I LOVEEEEEEEE mexican food my pocket and $$ doesn't love it that much today.
After drinks and dinner with my mother I must go home get some homework done, clean a bit of house, do the stinky cat box, shower then go to bed. Jeppy will be working tonight till about midnight or so, then he wont be home till about 2 in the morning. Which ideally equals up to me not getting a good night sleep because I'm always thinking someone is breaking into the house or ghosts are messing with me or something like that.. (yeah I know I'm wierd). Maybe I'll throw alittle excercise into my schedual for later that way I'm just exhausted and pass out without an issue.
Any of your favorite work out tapes I can download tonight to do let me know ;)
Hey everyone.. Wow last post was in June.. not good Lori. Well here I am! I'm back and motivated more then ever! Summer has come and went, I had such an amazing summer hence why I haven't posted... I've been busy!
Softball has come and gone, we ended up being 5th in the league. 6 games won 6 games lost! We did great! I am now on my companies volleyball team. Oh boy I suck so bad but I am slowly getting better.
School work has been insane! There was a month break from June till July, but since then I have been crazy for the last 12 weeks with crazy school work. But at least these classes are starting to progress into actual computer animation and real stuff I want to do besides the BS marketing and layouting that I had a few weeks ago.
Summer has been great! We did alot of stuff this summer! We went camping for a few nights as well as diamond mining and got a few nice gemstones! We went to the casino a bunch of times and now we are banning ourselfs from that place till we go to vegas in March. We bought a metal detector and have been metal detecting beaches and what not. We also went to cape cod for a week and had a marvelous time.
Fall time will be great as well, since it is fair season. (I love fairs) and halloween is coming (my favorite holiday!). I know of a few concerts I will be going to within the next few months, and I am planning a trip to salem, mass for Halloween!!!
Excersice, Food and Eating... Well well.. I haven't been such a good girl. While on vacation in the cape I started swimming laps, yet there was so much good food there yeah I kindof binged on it and binged on drinking.. I haven't lost much weight over the summer. I'm not sure my inches. I must measure tonight! I haven't been walking due to the summer heat, I started walking here and there on the cooler days a few weeks ago. I gotta get back in routine!
I did sign up for a 5k walk to help fight diabeties on October 4th! And I want to start training myself again for a 5k run so I can complete the turkey day race. I gotta start training like NOW for that. It's something that I want to do and been wanting to do for a while... so I must do it!
We are planning on joining our YMCA this or next month, that way I can also train for a 5k run as well as start swimming alot for my 2009 goal....triatholon! But running and preping myself for the Thanksgiving day 5k is first and foremost on my list!
Hey guys! Long time no talk. I've been SUPER busy lately. Life is busy.. summer is coming and oh gesh with the heat wave we have had that last 3 days blah it makes me want spring time back!
I've been staying active which is great! Softball is going good. Our team sucks but what ever.. I'm running round swinging bats and throwing balls.. I'm there to have fun and get into shape so I do not care. lol I'm trying to figure out what to do after softball ends in July. I believe the bf and I are going to join the YMCA which has a full up to date gym, rock climbing walls, an in door swimming pool, racket ball and so on. But I want to do something else as well.. So in the fall time we are going to join some sort of martial arts. :) This is going to be pretty cool! Now we just gotta figure what type of martial arts we want to take.
Our days lately have been filled with hiking, biking and walking. Saturday I went with my step father and a friend of his on a good 15.5 mile bike ride. And yes it was in the middle of this heat wave... (YUCK) I was soaked in sweat! but it felt great! Yesterday I went hiking with my boyfriend for about 2 miles.. once again we were soaked in sweat lol YUCK. But then we went swimming after which was nice.
Our anniversary is today. We celebrated it yesterday with a nice hike and swim then off to dinner and a movie. It's been YEARSSSSSSS since I've been to the movie theater. We saw Cronicles of Narnia 2. It was great! I love those movies! I can't wait for the 3rd one! I think I may stop by the library and pick up the books and read them.
In a few weeks we have a big camping trip planned. We're going to upstate NY to the herkimer diamond mines and we are camping at the campground across the street. It will be great I can't wait! I've been making my camping list and starting to pack making sure not to forget anything. The mining part is going to be awesome!!!!111 I can't wait to crack open some rocks and dig in some dirt for some burried treasures. It's going to be a great time, and I'm going to spend it with someone very special. <3
As for my smoking,... Yeah the memorial day weekend killed me, yes I broke. I need to requit... 3rd times a charm right? I hope so!
Ok yay lunch time! I'm gonna make my rounds say hi to all of ya.
