2.\u00a0 I am also experiencing that magical day of the month where I’m tired as hell on 9 hours of sleep, grumpy, feel (and I’m sure look) like I’m smuggling a watermelon in my belly, and just want to lay on the couch.\u00a0 Of course, since it’s Friday, I have a full day of work, then a 10k run, abs, and then a bbq to run off to tonight.\u00a0 I’m thinking a compromise – workin’ it out on the arc trainer instead of pavement pounding in the 85 and humid weather, and seeing if’n I perk up a bit later or if not – the commute is easy home from next door (it’s nice to have cool neighbors that like to hang out).<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Normally, you would think that a rest day combined with a large hamburger and fries would be bad.\u00a0 Usually, I can tell when I make a bad body decision, and this was not it.\u00a0 I’ve been very “ying” lately – eating rabbit food, moving moderately for decent amounts of time every day… I ate that WHOLE burger and LARGE order of fries and sat on the couch all night and got my “yang” on and my body felt WONDERFUL.\u00a0 Today, I’m back at it, but sometimes, you just need what you need.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 Of all the things that I have been slacking on lately, it’s water consumption.\u00a0 I’ve been finding that I’m at about 20 oz by the end of my work day because I forget to fill my water glass again.\u00a0 I really need to be better about it.\u00a0 Doing good today though, at least 8 glasses down by the end of this big cup.\u00a0 I can’t think of the last time I’ve actually had to be conscious about hydration…<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0 Our iguana is doing much better!\u00a0 She’s been to the vet for checkups every week, and they say she is healing nicely.\u00a0 She should be able to get her “cast” off the stitches in her hand next week so we can give her baths again (which she will be sooooo happy about), and where they opened her up to scoop all her girly insides out is also healing well.\u00a0 She has been eating now like it’s her job to get fatter (and that also means pooping like a champ).\u00a0 I can’t wait until we can bring her out and play with her again and let her run around the house like we used to.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Plans for this weekend: tons of yardwork Saturday.\u00a0 I was feeling pretty bleh about that until I found out how many calories various yard worky things burn and I got excited.\u00a0 Yes, something is very wrong with me, I’m aware of that.\u00a0 Hopefully something superfun Sunday but nothing planned yet.\u00a0 Rock climbing?\u00a0 Epic walk?\u00a0 Just vegging and seeing a movie?\u00a0 Who knows.<\/p>\n
7.\u00a0 I finally went shopping!\u00a0 I purchased one long sleeve green tie dye tee I loooove, a new black tee that fits properly (since I have one that’s a wee bit too small and one that’s too big), a new pair of pinstripe pants (to replace the ones that I shrank out of 2 sizes ago), a pair of brown pants (which are my new faves – can you say HOTASS? …and Mrs. Fatass, I’m totally thinking of you here with this usage).\u00a0 I purchased a new pair of brown platforms which are about 4.5 inches tall, fairly comfy, and I love them.\u00a0 I also found a replacement pair of black comfy-enough-to-walk-a-mile-in-but-dressy-enough-to-wear-with-anything shoes.\u00a0 THOSE were hard to find.\u00a0 The only fail?\u00a0 I bought my first pair of skinny jeans, and tried to apply boots on top of them?\u00a0 The legs are too baggy.\u00a0 So back to the drawing board there.\u00a0 I love the waist\/butt part so I have a feeling they will become the comfiest pair of cutoffs I have ever worn come summer.\u00a0 Can anyone suggest a brand of skinny jeans (I’m talking skintight here, no slack on the legs) that doesn’t expose my naughty bits because they’re cut so low?\u00a0 Just below the waist please.<\/p>\n
8.\u00a0 It’s vacay season coming up!\u00a0 I’ve had a long hard 7 months with nary a vacation, and I’ve got quite a few short jaunts coming up.\u00a0 Next weekend, we head up just outside Dallas for the Warrior Dash, then going to stay the night at a hotel in Dallas somewhere for some wining and dining and general pamperage.\u00a0 June is South Padre Island for some waterpark, watersports, and good times.\u00a0 July 4th weekend is driving to the Ozarks for a friend’s wedding and weekend of revelry.\u00a0 Mid Sept is another jaunt to Vegas.\u00a0 Then, we take a little break, and there should be a cruise in there sometime in the winter.\u00a0 Yeah, it’s not the honeymoon in Europe I was thinking, but it will tide me over until we have time for that…<\/p>\n
I think that’s about it.\u00a0 Have a great weekend!\u00a0 What’s up in your neck of the woods?\u00a0 Hate food?\u00a0 Love vacations?\u00a0 Have any skinny jeans suggestions for me – seriously, I’ve been looking for a year…<\/p>\n
