Confessional Friday

I confess that I can't remember the last time I cooked anything more than macaroni and cheese!

That I am having the best time finding things and getting ideas for my BFF's baby shower.

That I have way too many pairs of jeans and I realized this as I was getting rid of half of them for a yard sale tomorrow

I confess that I ate cereal for dinner tonight and do that way to often!

Tomorrow dinner will definitely not be cereal :)

I bought a new pillow yesterday and slept terrible last night

I confess that I have Carrie's new CD on repeat in my car

Yes, I am on a first name basis with her.....although she has not a clue who I am!

I confess I don't call my friends nearly enough :(

I confess that I am SERIOUSLY gonna get out of vacation eating mode and back on track....right Deana???

Me?...Give up junk food???

Me giving up junk food is about as crazy as me dressing up as a piece of candy corn along with a tutu for Halloween! 

Oh wait....I am dressing up as a piece of candy corn for Halloween!!!  I guess I can give up junk food too, well at least for 21 days!

I saw this on Jessica's blog today and told her I would do it with her!  She also has some great tables/pictures that say things to eat with certain cravings.  So it's just for 21 days so I can do that!!  Yes, I realize there are Halloween parties this weekend, I'm not sure if she is wanting to start tomorrow or what but I'm gonna try!  Ok, somebody, hold me accountable!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
So I get off work Friday morning a lot later than I usually do and knew I needed to sleep but just wasn't able to right away so I texted my friend John to see if he wanted to eat sushi with me for lunch.  So I met him a little after 11 then ran to Target to return a bra that I thought fit but decided it didn't fit once I got home.  (Story of my life when it comes to bras)  I also needed an alarm clock but didn't have the one that I wanted at Target so I thought since I was out I would run by Target and see if they had one I liked.  I ran into my friend Brooke and her little girl so I walked around with her.  I ended up getting home around 2 and layed down on the couch to sleep for a little bit.  I set my alarm so I didn't sleep all evening and then not be able to sleep that night.  After I got up I went to hang out with some girlfriends, ate some pizza, had a few drinks and some good conversation. 

Saturday
The fact that I sleep in late every day now is starting to annoy me!  I know the reason why I'm sleeping in late is because I'm going to bed late and that's because I work nights....it's crazy annoying!!  All well, nothing I can do about it right now.  I hung out around my apartment and straightened up then got ready for work. 

Sunday
Came home after a good night of work and went straight to bed.  I set my alarm but ended up turning it off and slept a few more hours.  I got up finally and went to the gym and ran then did some abs and arms.  I'm definitely on a mission this week to stick to my gym routine and eating better.  I fall off the wagon so often that I figure all I can do is just keep trying and getting back on!! 
I'm so ready for fall!!  The cooler weather, the bonfires, chili, scarves, all the good TV that's getting ready to start back up!!  So, are ya'll ready for all things fall??
(Next week I promise I will have pictures....It's going to be a good weekend)

The gym has been calling my name for weeks and I have been pretty much completely ignoring it....that has got to change!

Bullets

• I love love love my new job!!  As much as I hate getting up at 4:40 it's great once I get there!
• I am so looking forward to this new year.....I see good things, good things.
• I really have to get serious about losing this weight I've put on and get in shape.  I mean seriously, Lindsay's wedding is in less than 5 months and the dress is going to not look as fabulous as I want unless I lose this weight and get some toned arms!
• I'm ready for spring, or at least not so cold weather.
• I'm so addicted to One Tree Hill!
• I didn't go to the gym today.....crap
• Even though taxes suck throughout the year, I'm really looking forward to my tax refund and the sooner the better!
• I'm so ready to have my own washer & dryer again.
• I miss my friends....I really have to call them more often.
• My (& Michelle's) maid of honor speech really needs to be started.
• After typing this out I realized I need to make a gigantic to-do list!

Hope everybody's new year is off to a great start!

Body Pump

Today was my first day off work this week, YAY!! I have really been slackin when it's come to the gym and I changed that today. I met one of the PA's I work with at the gym to take a body pump class with her. I've taken several different classes including this one but I haven't taken any in over a month so I knew this was going to be hard!

Hard was an understatement!!! It kicked my butt!!! My legs felt like jello and were shaking everytime I had to squat and that was only 20 minutes into the class! I made it through though and realize that tomorrow will be much worse than today. She goes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and I plan on going on days when I'm not working. Next week I'll be able to do Monday and Friday and looking forward to it......sort of, haha!! It is much easier for me to make myself go to the gym if I have a plan and know what time to be there and what time I'll be leaving. I can't help it, I'm a planner!

I am also motivated to lose weight right now so I can look fabulous in a gorgeous bridesmaid dress, Maid of Honor to be exact, in less than 10 months!!

The weather and work is ....

MESSING UP ME TRYING TO BE A RUNNER!!!

I like working all this overtime that is coming available but it keeps me from having a day off and so I'm not able to run outside b/c it's dark when I get home.

Then the weather is cold, sleety, snowy and rainy....not conditions I want to be running in!!

I think I'll go back to tanning and working out there....inside and I get to tan! I think that's much better than dealing with the weather outside! And I can either go after work if I work day shift or before work if I work my regular shift! It's sounding better and better!

Could I become a runner?

So I found this girls blog and one of her posts was about running, a "how to" sort of blog. So I wrote it down and I'm gonna try it!!

This started b/c, of course, I can't seem to lose this weight I keep gaining b/c I'm not exercising in any way. I wanted to join the gym but $44.99 a month after signing a 2 year contract is not something I can do right now. I wish that I could join so I can go to the classes but right now I can't so......running it is!! Free and gets me outside....the only thing is it's still rather COLD and if it isn't cold it has been raining......let's hope the weather gets nicer soon and I can try this 10 week running thing!! I would like to lose 15 lbs. I can do it!! It seems attainable, right?

Wish me luck!
