Pounding the pavement

Here is the pretty scenery I got to look at during my walk/jog tonight.  I luv to walk here, even though I have to drive 10 minutes to get to this park.  Its makes doing cardio a lot less like work!

Now if I can just get to a Zumba class... now that sounds like FUN cardio.

Cranky/bitachy/pms-in' Vent!

I hate my job!!!!!!!  

Okay, I don't hate what I do exactly, but I hate the long azz hours, stress, and the "on-call" b.s.  I'm mean geez!  Come on!  Seriously!  I DON'T want the over-time!  I want to LIVE!  Enjoy my life & the summer weather.

I haven't been to the gym since I found out, that yes, I broke my hand.  And that's why I was almost in tears everytime I tried to turn a damn door knob.

But what has finally pushed me other the edge is, I'm on call tonight, stuck at work for 12 hours already, grab food at a restaurant cause I'm too tired to cook, and of course I ate like crap.  Come home, relax, and guess what? ..... phone rang to call me back to work.  Fine!  I stomp up stairs to put scrub pants on and.................. the don't fit!!!  ACK!  I find a bigger pair, pull those on & there tight.  Okay, I'll have my little moment later.  Run down strairs cause my phone is ringing to be told, the Cath Team is on standby!?!?  WTF?  Standby?  Lets just say I had a little chat with the damn ER doc.  Standby my Aunt Fanny!!

Since I'm off tomm, I'm going for a hike!  I'm sick of the indoors!!!  

K... Vent over!  

Organic.... Hype or hoax?

Okay... I admit, for the longest time I though the whole organic movement was a BIG old scam -o-roonie to pocket more of peoples dough.

But then I read Jillian's new book... well partially read anyways.  And damn, if what she says doesn't make since to my little science oriented mind.  Now I'm still transitioning into this new lifestyle.  And my grocery bill has gone up, but if I'm healthier & happier, it will be worth it.  

Not to mention I hope it helps my PCOS.  Thankfully, I haven't struggled as much as some with PCOS, but add stress and lack of sleep, and my body is wack!  And maybe *fingers crossed* I'll loss weight!

I have also started taken Magnesium daily to help my periods.  And sadly I had to go back on the "pill".  I was all over the place hormone wise and just couldn't hack it.  

the keurig do-dad thingie

Okay... here is the info to the plastic thing, that lets you reuse your k-cups.

My-Kap (Reuse your K-cup thingie)

I've reused my k-cups several times without a problem.  It actually works better for me this way, as I like my coffee on the weak side.  And I luv all the different flavors!  I'll have to post a pic soon of my coffee collection!  ;0}

Oh... and the website does do a referral thing so if ya don't mind mention that I sent ya (Tracy Richardson).  Thx!  And let me know what ya think of them.  

good reads

I'm stuck at work and desperate for Jillian Michael's new book: Master Your Metabolism. So... Amazon.com to the rescue. I'm reading it on my iPhone through the amazon kindle app. Too cool! Now I want a kindle.

it makes me happy...

Hands down, one of the best things I've spent money on has to be my Keurig coffee maker.  Its awesome to wake up in the morning before work to have the coffee water hot, but the coffee not actually made and cooling off or burning.  All I have to do it hit the button and it pours into my cup and I have hot fresh coffee.  

And I have a ton of yummy flavored coffees.  I know the little cups get $$$.  So I bought this little do-dad off e-bay that lets you reuse the little k-cups and you can refill them with your own coffee.  Too cool!

So... basically I wanted to share something simple, that makes me happy!  

Carry On!

I'm alive.....

I think!  So... where have I been you ask?  Well...  I've been working 50-60 hr weeks.  And have let my diet & training slip.  *head plunk*  Yes, I have fallen.  

Oh... did I mention I broke my hand?  Don't ask!  It has been 3 weeks now, and I have 3 weeks to go until its healed.  I was told no weights.  And I'm kinda torn on that.

Lets just say, I'm not happy fluffy!  I liked my other body better.  And I liked how I ate, and felt good.  I liked my clothes fitting.  I liked the gym!!!  

So, I'm trying to get back to my happy place!
