I have a love/hate relationship with 4 day work weeks because... I love getting a paid day off (not using my PTO) but it seems like the week drags on that much more. It doesn't help that I'm still fighting with this cold/allergy BS.
On the work out front... day 3 of Turbo Jams... I am still doing learn and burn and plan to do so until I feel like i have the moves down but... Don't worry TD I'm improving my calorie burn every day :P. I really really like it... I didn't think I would because I started with Cardio Party and quit about 5 mins in.... if you know me and my OCD you know I don't quit things very often like that but... IT WAS HARD. I've been getting bored of work outs lately and my allergies have been giving me problems so I needed to move the work outs inside and I need to leave work and get home to my little escape artist Mazda at night. Turbo Jams has two thumbs up from me... I can't wait to move on to one of the harder work outs!!
That's all for tonight. I'm turning in my numbers and going to bed!

The thing I HATE most...
LAUNDRY!
For those of you that know me... you know that weekends are usually spent cleaning... I can be found any random night of the week showing my beloved Dayson some attention. So a neat freak must have one thing they suck at right?
For me it's laundry and it's BAD. I have formed a super bad habit from my family of doing the laundry, drying the laundry and then throwing it in a pile to wrinkle until I need it and throwing it back in the dryer to fluff up. Sometimes I even leave a load in the dryer and let it tumble for days. About once ever two months I swear off being horrible at laundry and I do it all and put it all away... and I keep up with it for 2 or 3 weeks and then... down the toilet that goes...
So today...despite the fact I'm sick... the laundry is getting washed/dried/folded/ AND put away... I simply can't take it anymore.
In diet news I made English Muffin Pizza's for lunch and they were 200 calories for cheese and 250 for peperoni AND 9 grams of fiber. Not bad eh? For dinner my mommy is spoiling me and bringing me chicken noodle soup and figuring out the nutrition facts for me. I love my mom.
Speaking of my mom she's doing great on the diet front too. She is at 24 lbs lost (I think.. maybe a bit more actually?) and her blood pressure and cholesterol #'s were never better!! I hope to have good news like this when I get all my blood work done in about another 2 ish months :)
I broke down and went to an Alegent Quck Care today to make sure I didn't have strep or something like that... The verdict is a spring cold and some raging seasonal allergies. What does that mean for me? Back on the claritian every day... and just when I thought I could get rid of a pill.... boo. Oh well, I'd rather take one of thos a day then feel like I do now for a week every so often. I had to miss work on Friday and for those of you that know me... you know I HATE using my precious PTO for sickness... That should only be used for FUN!!
That's all for today I think.... My weekend posts have become long.... Sorry!

A Small Success
Despite the fact I feel like complete trash today. I got my rear end out of bed at 6:20 and went to Walgreen's to stock up on sick staples such as NyQuil... when you feel like crap... you deserve to sleep a lot :) Then I made my way across town to weigh in. I'm down 1.4 lbs... that's 35.6 total. I'm glad it's a loss but I think I could have done better. All things considered this week I'm happy about the loss for sure.
Today will be about resting and trying to get better... I think I'll check out some Turbo Jams today and see what that's all about. The last time I put it in I couldn't keep up... Little did I know there's an instructional video.... I'm not pushing it but I do think it's important to work out on days you feel like crap... because then I regular days you don't want to... you really have no excuse... You did it on the days you were feel like crap right??
I've been watching food network all Friday and Today dreaming about delicious foods I couldn't taste or find calorie counts for...Better to watch Guy Ferrei and All of those on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" get phat than me right? I like to watch the shows for small hints and to find recipes I can modify.
Ash- I hope your birthday party is rockin'... having if you like cherry coke Ask for a Diet and Effen Black Cherry Vodka... you can thank me later :)
Jessi- I hope your trip goes well. You rocked it this week, what a great foot to start off on for a traveling week. While your there... Please have 1 guilty pleasure and think of me :)
I decided I'll post the next picture at 40 lbs... I am not in the picture mood this weekend so that will be a good milestone :)
That's all for now... Have a fantastic Saturday!

BUSY
What a totally busy week!
Where to start?
Monday night I really for the life of me can't remember what we had going... I think I was fighting off a sickness and we grilled burgers. I still managed a 3.3 Mile Jog...
Tuesday was Phil's brithday so I helped him do up number 21 right :) BWW has 6 naked tenders for around 260 calories... not bad for a wing place :) I was able to get in a 40 min walk...
Wednesday- We have had TONS of work people in for different events happening so today I had a scheduled lunch at Grainte City... for the record nothing I ever have at that plave is amazing or good. It's always under done, over done, or cold. Today I had the flat bread bbq chicken pizza which was cold and also on a cracker not so much a pizza. I used the counts for pizza though so holler for over-estimation and avoiding the tempation of the only thing they DO do well there... Waffle fries.... their service is also very slow and terrible...
I aslo had a dinner with the sales specialist girls that are in for traning! That was a lot of fun. I had a great time getting to know them and talking shop. I had a beef dip and mashed potatos from Mimi's Cafe... again not impressed and only ate 1/2 of the sandwich and one bite of potatos and decided they were not worth waisting calories on :) Tonight I walked about 30 mins because it was getting colder and lets face it... it's been a long day.
I'm confident I'm at the point in my WL now that I'll be loosing anywhere from 1.5 lbs to 2 lbs per week. This is kind of what I'll shoot for... I'll always welcome a bigger loss but... I keep things in check and I think this is what I can expect.
I'm looking forward to kicking my Thursday and Firday work out's back into high gear for a great weigh in Saturday. I'm so glad it's getting nicer outside! I love being able to excercise and walking Mazda. My little girl pretty much demands walks now :)
I promise to get some updated photos taken this weekend :)
I guess that's all for now. Hope your week is going smoothly :)

Wipped
Sorry I have been MIA the past few days getting ready for Phil's graduation party!
In weight loss news... I'm down another 2 lbs... that's 34 total.
In life news... Phil's party was a great success. Everyone had a great time and I got to show our house to everyone. Mazda was the best little girl ever!! We had my aunt and uncle from Missouri stay with us over the weekend and that was a lot of fun! I'm so glad they were able to make it up for the party and visit with all of us!!!
Today I'm recovering, I'm not hungover but I am so sore from being on my feet all day. The plan today is to relax, finish cleaning up (show the Dyson some love) and go to Saphora... I think I might also have to invest in a new pair of jeans and work pants.... I hate spending money on new clothes that I would be able to wear for very long... but I'm super pumped to have clothes that don't fit because I've lost 34 lbs :)
I guess that's all for now... OH I was able to keep it at 1200 calories on the party day... Holler for me :) And I jogged when it was 26 degree's out...
Toodles :)
