This has been A WEEK and it’s only Tuesday. Ugh

  • Monday started with a rude man calling me an “F’er” multiple times over the phone at work when I tried to help send his call in the right direction. I told him to quit swearing at me and I would help him. He called me the F word several more times and then hung up on me. So that’s fun.
  • This morning I managed to scrape and dent my rear passenger door on my car when I was parking in the garage. (I scraped into a pillar. Le sigh.) So I need to get that fixed eventually,. 
  • I had to get another root canal and crown. My share of this will total about $500. **Waves goodbye to all my money**
  • I’ve been going to the gym very faithfully since the beginning of July. I’m down 7 pounds and am lifting weights too. (Go team!) So I was happy with what I saw in the mirror this morning. So you get to see it too.
  • So you can just imagine how UNHAPPY I was when I saw the girl who helped me lose my job last October at MY GYM! Just who I didn’t want to see. UGH. So far, I just do my thing and completely ignore her. Rage running is a thing for a reason.
  • Today I ran at home, it was a cardio only day and my roomies are in Mexico so I killed some miles on my ‘mill, with the music blaring. Felt good to do that alone (it’s hot and humid here again and running outside makes my heart valve issue flare up.)
  • I’m watching the roomie’s dog, and I’m currently letting him play with my bf’s dogs. Their dog is a bit of a douchebag…he has no social skills, so our dogs get a little tired of him. 
  • My mouth hurts, I wish someone would give me like $5k, and I wish that dinner would make itself tonight.

TL;DR this week sucks, I need more money, and I have hillbilly teeth. But I’m down 7 pounds since July 15th!!!

Good morning sunshine!!

I like Saturdays because the bf usually makes me breakfast either before or after I run. He’s a good cook! This morning I brought over my chai tea mix and made that to go with breakfast. Delicious!

The heat and humidity broke last night with torrential rains and thunderstorms. This morning it’s in the 60s and feels fantastic. I’m going to head out for a run here soon.

We have a going away party tonight, and I’m watching my roomies dog for 5 days. He’s currently playing with the bf’s dogs, which we hope tires them out.

It feels like fall here, and that’s pretty cool. I hope you all have a great weekend!!

Self-Knowledge Questionnaire

Lifting and running are happening here. All the sweat…even the always lovely back sweat!😝 The scale is beginning to move in the right direction, so that’s awesome!! Things are going well in my life, not much new to report!!

I feel like I’m pretty boring lately, but sometimes that is nice too!

Have a great week friends!!

My day in photos.

This dress. I love it. But I hate how it shows that I’ve gained weight. Le sigh. Look at that booty!!! Where did that come from?? 😨😬 I have 20 pounds to lose and I’m going to do it. I promise.

So today I went to the gym and met with the trainer. He showed me what weights I need to do and gave me a good plan. I know what I need to do. So here goes nothing! That photo is after my 3 mile interval run. ALL THE SWEAT. So gross.

Have a good hump day friends!
