Workouts, and prayer.

Wow, that's a total random title eeh?

First workouts, Jon and I did day 2 of EA Active 2 tonight, and I really like it. It is a game for the Wii. Admittedly I was skeptical, but it is fun, and I do feel the burn. Its like a trainer right there, as the bands that are worn will tell you if your form is incorrect. I suggest checking it out, if you need a little push, and like variety..

Now, prayer... for those outside of Omaha, sadly there was a shooting at a local high school. I just heard on the news the Asst Principal passed away. I refuse to discuss the person at guilt in this, however I offer up prayers for the individual who passed. It made me think, just how quickly life can change. I thought about how I live, I am always so busy, so rushed and typically stressed. A friend of ours Cameron, posted on his blog, that he is no longer living for next month I'm living for the next five days. I really liked this comment, because its true. We should be living each day, as though it were our last. I encourage you all to live and love freely. Take down the walls which hold you back, and grow yourself, and step outside of the box.

Speaking of stepping outside of the box. I am pondering applying for a pretty significant promotion at work. It would be a Sales Manager position, which is where I ultimately want to be, and I love my employer.. however its in Hartford, CT. We LOVE our life here, it is great, we are both in jobs we love, love our home and its where we grew up.. but this is my career goal... so I am pondering if my career is worth losing out and missing things geographically. If it were just me, I would do it in a heartbeat, but clearly its not, Jon has a job he loves, and we have 15 weddings next year (that could get spendy) flying home!! Oy, so whats a Catholic girl going to do? Pray about it.

Boomer Sooner?

ART IN THE HOTEL GYM...


Me after 40 minutes of the treadmill/recumbent bike... not digging it..


Oh.. speaking of the gym.. MUCH MUCH better ALONE.. its still a shotty place though.


I got a good workout in, and even went to Sprint to get my stupid phone fixed. PS -- I can not stand my Palm. Its such a PITA. It's constantly screwing up now, and I am not about to drop $300 on a new one. I may use my brothers old phone, its an HTC Diamond.. until I can get something new if I keep having problems. Ugh.

Down 5!

I had an awesome week! I lost 5 lbs! That puts me at 18.8 total. YAY! I still have a long ways to go, but I am making great progress. I have a work trip coming up March 27th. It's been my goal from the get go to have lost 30 lb for that trip. That's three weeks away, and I think I can easilly do it. That's 11.2 in three weeks, which is totally attainable. SO yay!

This week I am going to hit it hard in the work out area. I realize this is an area I can work harder in. So I am planning to incorporate some new variety in this week. Probably 3 days on the elliptical with weights, 2 days on 30DS and 2 days of other work outs. I am a big fan of FIT Tv OnDemand. Love it.

Well, I have a laid back weekend planned! YAY! Probably going to do some cleaning and maybe errands -- exciting huh! :) Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Dont forget to vote for Lucy!!!

My new love...

...is my heart rate monitor watch.

I initially thought it was going to be a waste of money, but I jumped on the bandwagon. It's nice to be able to take a peek at my watch and make sure I am pushing myself to the limit. It tracks my time (length of exercise), heartrate and calories burned.

Tonight, I did the elliptical and then worked on my total gym...

While watching the Batchelor... which is kind of a bore. Especially since I cant stand Vienna. She's WT and in dire need of a professional color job. Speaking of color, I have a hair appointment on Friday -- and I cant decide if I should go "dark all over" or "dark with high lights" what to do!?!

Let me know which you think I should do!

Time=Devil

I need about 3 more hours in the day, hell I'd be thrilled with ONE.

It's 10:47, as I type. I just finished editing photos for a client, I have to hit the elliptical (just to get back at it in the morning... errr 6am. Ugh.)

I have so much going on, and so much I want and need to accomplish. I am frusterated because I AM busy. Making a healthy lunch dinner ect and counting the calories is easy, because it takes just a few minutes here and there.

Sarah mentioned that she hit the mall on her lunch hour. What a novel idea, I might do this when I can get near one on my lunch. I normally work thru my lunch being the workaholic I am. Seriously --- admitting I am a workaholic isnt easy.

Well. Thats enough I NEED to hit the gym.

Oh on a positive note, I was at 1300 calories and like 30g of fiber and 8 glasses of water today. yeah... something is going right atleast.
