2/26/09 All Day
Last night we slept Roo woke up at 11 but she slept after that it was sooooooo nice to get some sleep. The morning got off to a fast start as mornings always do. I got up and woke up (totally different things LOL) then went to get Roo while D took care of getting lunches and snacks ready. We somehow made it out the door in a reasonable fashion and then I remembered OOPS I didn't grab breakfast so I ran back in and grabbed a baggie of banana nut cheerios these are DELISH!!!! Then it was off to work.
I already wrote up what has been on my mind this week and it felt so good to actually get my thoughts out in one place so that I could get a plan put in action and I feel mucho better about the whole situation. This is my year and I am going to achieve and conqueor and leave no prisoners of things I wish I had tried and done this year. I am going to do it!
Work was work and I had an apple w/ string cheese for snack, turkey sandwich for lunch with carrots, and some baked chips w/ a light cream cheese dip for afternoon snack. It was good.
Then it was time to come home and I called D and he said that he would take care of dinner so that I could start day 1 of C25K. I am so proud to be able to say right here and right now I DID IT!!! I made it through and I didn't totally die. I forgot how hard it was to run but OMG it felt sooooooooooooooooo good!
For dinner we had a chicken, pepper and cheese quesadilla w/ some guacamole. It was sooooooo yummy!! Soooooooooooo yummy!
We then worked out again and I got 15 minutes of hardcore on the elliptical and then 15 minutes of upper body weights and crunches. It felt really good to do. Tomorrow is a new day of workouts and I can't wait to continue my plan.
Evening snack was a granola bar. It was really good.
This is my year and I am going to rock it!

2/26/09 Random Thoughts
I am tired of feeling guilty for wanting to achieve my goals. I'm sure that comment doesn't make much sense but I am tired of sitting on what I want and not going forward because of crap that happened in the past. I really need to get my thoughts out on this and I apologize in advance.....
I know people who ran marathons and they worked together as a family and got to the goal they wanted. I saw how it strengthened them internally and externally. I saw it as a strengthener for their relationship and something that could be done together. I wanted that for me and D. However words got twisted by others when talking to these people and OMG on how angry and upset they were. I am STILL hurt about what went down and I decided at that time forget it I don't want anything to do with it. But I do.
The way something was interpreted even though it was NOT what I saw was that because they could do it it meant that it was so easy that I could accomplish it myself. Ummmm yes there was a time in life when I felt that whatever they could do I could do but ya know what people grow up and move on and the goals you had when you were TWO to teenagerhood are not the goals you have when you're 29 which is about when this went down. People change, they grow up, they move forward in their life. I'm sorry but I saw what was being done as a positive and I wanted to do something as a positive myself with everything that was going down in our life at the time we needed something to look forward to, something to strive towards, but we stopped with that one instantly. I seriously was and am still hurt. I've reach the point though that I am sick of feeling this way, I am tired of feeling guilty for something I didn't say and I need to let it go. I know what I said and I know that they will never believe me so I need to just move on.
Why can't I try to run a marathon? I know I'm not the most in shape person at the moment but I am trying and I want to achieve this goal just to say that I can do it. I don't want to try to race or to beat peoples times I could care less about that very honestly. I want D and I to do this for ourselves. I want to prove to myself that I am capable of achieving a goal that seems impossible to me now? Is this so wrong?
Am I horrible person because I saw the joy and excitement and wanted to see if it would work for me? I don't think I am and I am tired of feeling like I have been cast in an evil position because of it. I don't know why I care so much about what they think of me it shouldn't matter but I do. I have always been so proud and excited after each of the races that have been run by these people I have gotten up early to watch timers and been worried when a chip broke or forwarding times weren't posting.
I just want to be excited for myeslf and D for once for getting to the finish line of a huge challenge. I have learned my lesson in some ways though and I haven't figured out how we will handle it when the day comes.
So there ya go I am stepping it up and I am going to start training for a 5K (baby steps). This does not and will not however forego the workouts I do with D. Those strengthen us as a couple and give us time to wind down from the day together. I hope that we can convince Roo on weekends that her stroller is a nice place to be...........
Please no comments about what went down we each have our own side and this is mine and the people I write about have no way to present theirs so it's not fair to say anything about them. If you have training tips I would love to hear them!

2/25/09 All Day
I am about to fall over and should have been bed 30 minutes ago......
Roo had a rough night last night and we had a rough night last night. She was up twice, the monitor decided to start getting interference and the cats were all brats and I cannot tell you how many cat fights happened on my legs. That is NOT how one wants to wake up once one has just been able to go back to sleep. Today D fixed the monitor so the static issue is gone and we're hoping that Roo decides that sleep is a good thing and does like she did the night before and sleep for 12 hours straight. I would be thrilled with that!
Needless to say when the alarm went off I was less than amused. Thankfully I had taken a bath the night before so all I had to do was push D out of bed so that I could soak up 20 more minutes of sleep. I finally dragged myself up and got ready with one eye half open. I managed to pour some cereal into a ziploc baggie while D took care of making sandwiches for lunch, and for packing our snacks.
I made it to work and after doing a few jumping jacks felt somewhat awake. I got to present something I had been working on and got the go ahead to flesh it out and complete it. I am THRILLED!! This project really goes along well with what I want to do when I grow up ROFLMAO! I had poured to much cereal in said baggie this morning so that was my snack as well.
Lunch was a turkey sandwich but my little tomatos got tossed because one had gone bad and after that I couldn't stomach the rest.
Afternoon snack was cottage cheese and mandarin oranges which is always good.
I drove home and I swear the trip lasted forever......Once I got home I started boiling water to make smart choice rotini so that we could have the rest of our alfredo sauce. It was even better today because everything had time to set and the flavors had a chance to meld. It was hard not to just lick the bowl clean! Roo even ate most of hers WAHOOOOOOO!!
Workouts didn't happen because I honestly can barely function which is why as soon as I hit send I am heading to bed. But I did have an evening snack of one serving of green grapes YUM!!!
I am thinking of a new workout plan for me. Not new but additional I am thinking about as soon as I get home changing into workout clothes and getting a workout in while I make dinner and then working out with D once Roo is in bed. I'm not sure yet how that would work but I might try it tomorrow. I need to step it up and this is one way to do it. We'll see what happens. :)

2/24/09 All Day
The day has come to an end and eating wise I did not do bad I ate but I did not eat much because I very honestly did not feel good. At first I thought it was because I was nervous about Roo's doctors appointment (even though this appointment was just a checkup and not a big deal) however when we stopped for lunch I really still did not want to eat. I did eat a small portion of salad and one ravioli then for snack I tried to eat some backed chips and that really did not work well. Dinner was a greek style salad and it was good but again not hungry....Workout didn't happen because staying curled up in a ball on the couch felt better even though we did go on a family walk after dinner. Roo was super silly and man when she saw the slide at the playground she started dancing because we had time for her to play. So that was my day I'll see how it goes tomorrow.

I weighed in this morning and I lost .2 I'm not overly thrilled but a loss is a loss and I have to be happy with that at the moment. I know my body does this and that's ok soon I will have a significant drop. I have been doing the work and I know that it shows.
I got up and got to the computer and started working and got a lot done before a certain little Roo woke up. She woke up in the best of moods too! After I got her changed, her washed up, and her bed changed we came down and split a bowl of cinnamon life cereal. She is so cute sharing the bowl seriously so cute!
She got to playing and I got back to work until snack time which she announced very loudly was going to be APPLE and CHEESE. So cute! So we cut up two apples and got the string cheese out and we both enjoyed.
Then back to work with a little girl who came up to cuddle beside me while reading a book out loud to me it was all to soon time for lunch. Lunch was a barbecue chicken sandwich from our leftover chicken from Saturday. It was soooooooooo good! Roo had a side of Mac and Cheese from CPK leftovers. Did I mention the sandwich was good? All we did was take the leftover baked chicken breast that had already been cooked in bbq sauce and shredded it and then added more sauce to it. Then put it on a whole wheat bun, add a few banana pepper slices and enjoy!
Afternoon snack was a low fat dip w/ 1 serving of baked tostitos. YUM!!
Dinner was Kung Pao chicken from Dream Dinners. I miss that place! It was one of the go create your meal and freeze it places. YUMMERS! I thought at first it was to gingery but the final product was really good!
Workout was 20 fast minutes on the elliptical with the arms moving the entire time. I am so excited about how much better I am doing in regards to cardio.
Then evening snack was a fruit shake w/ vanilla yogurt.
It was a good day and I am ready for bed because tomorrow is going to be eventful!

2/22/09 All Day
BOOOOOOOOO the weekend is over BOOOOOOOOOOO! We had a really great and relaxing day at home. One filled with tons of fun with a little girl and lots of memories. And I had time to work on my full mock up of my project for work. It still has a ways to go but I can at least visually show my vision.
B: frosted mini wheats
S: 1 serving baked tostitos w/ lf queso
L: 2 tamales and a salad
S: 1 serving life cereal dry
D: health start pasta w/ laughing cow chicken, tomato, broccoli, and pepper alfredo sauce.
S: a bowl of fruit.
I'd spell things out more but the bed is calling and I am worn out!
OHHHHHHHHHHH I cannot forget the workouts for the day. We took a family walk which was pretty slow but we got some good distance in then time going up and down the playground equipment LOL! Then tonight we did the 20 minute shred level 3. It felt so good and I cannot wait to see what the scale says tomorrow. I am anticipating either a slight gain or a very small loss.
