It is Friday!!! So happy!

Any fellow Nook lovers out there? If so- the folks at Barnes and Noble must have had a long week as well because you can download "DIY Cocktails" for free and kick off the weekend like the rock star you know you are.


What does everyone else on this site do? I know, I know, I know... exercise, eat right (most likely better than I do), and generally be awesome- but are there any other hobbies?

I know at least one person who likes to drink on a boat (heck yeah), and someone who lifts weights like a hulk (so jealous) but I want to get to know everyone....it makes this place feel less like a random assortment of posts for me.

I love running, knitting, crocheting lacy afghans for our home, a few trashy TV shows, Droid (not a huge Apple fan- I know, what's wrong with me), card games and board games are pretty awesome and I love to read. I will choose a beach and fresh sea food over snow any day. I think a crab omelet sounds gross. I am a dog person.



I have no idea what else to write about myself.

I am addicted to Pinterest.

Who are you people? Is there anything you want to know about me? Fair warning- I am an extremely boring person.

XOXOXO

When I woke up and realized it was only Thursday...



... and that I still had my tummy ache.

Well, no running last night because I was having really bad tummy cramps (no clue why). Since the hubby was also feeling pretty lame we just stayed in and didn't do anything.

Much, much, much better day today (which means my tendency to want to b!tch slap everyone who made my life heck yesterday has gone away)and I am hoping my stomach stops being a pain so I can go for a jog tonight.

So... yesterday was a cheat day. I went for lunch with a friend and between the pizza and the talking I didn't care if I just inhaled a hundred million calories- I needed my time with a friend and what is the point of good health if you are miserable?

Of course I did not step on the scale this morning (I didn't want to mess up my good mood) but I don't care right now. Today is a new day, I will eat healthy and work out and be merry.

And that pizza was delish.

Things I am happy about today:
- I got a good night's sleep last night
- Hubby and I have a card date tonight
- My friend is closing on her house this morning- sooooo happy for her!
- Coffee
- Stress levels are down, feel like I can breath again :)

Bah, I woke up in a crabby mood. I hate that!

How do you get out of a crabby mood.

I figure I will be in a better mood after I run tonight- but I obviously can't do that while I am at work. Most likely my mood is just because I am stressed but there is also nothing I can do about that as well.

Gah. I have started knitting a sweater because I have been doing nothing but crocheting lately. Of course I managed to mess that up as well- ack, I feel like everything is just putting me in a foul mood. I don't know why- because the mess up is actually going to wind up being a mod that I prefer and doesn't mess up the structure of the item at all (please tell me there is at least one knitter out there that understands the above paragraph) but it doesn't matter- still making me crabby.

Ok, my whining is annoying me so this seems like a good place to end this whine-fest (not the good kind with cheese)

Things I am looking forward to today:
- running after work
- lunch with my friend
- working on my sweater later
- coffee
- dinner (I am starving today)
- sweatpants and sweatshirt
- coffee
- this site
- coffee
- being able to cuddle with hubby and puppy tonight

I am finally back under the 110's! It feels great :)

My three-day weekend was awesome, it felt wonderful to just relax with the hubs and our pup. Made some BBQ chicken kabobs (how the heck do you spell this? seriously) and pretty much ate the entire time. It was wonderful.

I came to the realization that if I eat mainly low-calorie stuff I am able to eat all freaking day. Yeah, my opinion of eating healthy is wonderful right now.

Started taking iron supplements because no matter what I did I only ever got about 40-50% of my RDI of iron (and that is on a good day). I just don't eat enough red meat on a daily basis. My normal intake of iron is only 14-20%, way too low. To make it worse, I read somewhere that runners tend to go through iron quicker than normal because of all the cardio. Awesome.

Looking for running shorts that don't creep up on you- anybody have any suggestions?

Well, have a fab day everyone!

XOXOXO
