What a slacker! It is Monday the 3rd and I have not blogged since last Tuesday, that is almost a week! No bueno…you would understand if you knew the week I had. I have been going through some work issues and as a result have slipped into an unnecessary haze of depression and still to this day I cannot snap out of it. I am trying very hard to not let my emotions get the best of me…but it has proven to be a difficult task thus far.

Well here goes, a quick run down of the days of posts that I am behind in…

Breakfast

Got to go to my old run spot, it was amazing to go back there I missed it very much!

(Went through a lot of ‘run’ therapy there)

Day 3: ‘A Mile A Day’ Run Challenge: Complete

Didn’t do any other workouts tonight, no time had big dinner plans with my beautiful Mom, Grandma and Auntie.

Dinner

gh

Champagne(Of course!), Corn on the Cob, which I usually hate, but it was actually good, a yummy salad and a very little piece of sweet potato(which I still hate, yuck!)

I had such a wonderful and late evening spent with my family, it was so nice to have dinner cooked for me and to relax and chat…I didn’t want to go home!

Oh, had an after workout snack consisting of  chips and avocado salsa, a piece of bread with Vegan butter, some left over red potato fries and some hot peppers. I think this will be my dinner, I am still full.

Happy Tuesday,

I started a new challenge today…

 run

 

1 Mile Run…actually a little longer than that, but who’s keeping track?

Workout

 

Did a pretty intense but short weights and ABS workout.

Oh and on my morning run I ran into this little(actually big) guy, he is a lab/pit?? brindle mix and he is so sweet, he must be pretty young still, cause his teeth are so clean and pretty and his temperament is pretty immature. 

Cale

 

I posted him and Craigslist and haven’t heard anything all day, I can’t believe someone would lose this little guy!

Had to bring the cat inside, cause they did not get along at all, but it was nice to have a little cuddle time with this guy, he is strictly and outdoor cat so I enjoyed out time together!

Kitty Cuddle

 

Lunch

Had a cup of coffee for breakfast and then spent the day with this little guy…

Nolan

My precious nephew, this little man is so full of life. He is so happy and loving, he melts my heart! And his mommy is such a wonderful first time mommy, I love seeing her love and care for him!

Then came home had one if these…

Beer

(Or maybe 2…or maybe even 3 ;))

Then did some serious cooking!

I was in the mood to make some salsa, I found this copy-cat recipe for El Pollo Loco’s  Avocado Salsa…it turned out so good, email me for the organic recipe (Which is just as good, if not better!)

Guac Before Guac Blend Guac Salsa After

I didn’t eat any of this today, but tasted it and oh my it was good!

I also made a copy-cat recipe of the Chili’s Salsa…Organic Style…

Ahhhh…today…not my day…what is it about Wednesdays?? I was soooo busy at work I didn’t even have time to post my post from yesterday and I did not even get to drink my usual gallons of water and tea…and it was just a bad day. I came home upset and tired, I threw down my bags and fell on the couch. I will spare you the work drama, but let’s just say I am not liking it and praying for change…soon…

Breakfast

What breakfast? I did not consume anything today not until 2pm that is.

Lunch

Lunch

I know, I know…I had a diet coke…this is WAY not like me… aspartame is one of the worst possible thing you can consume, can you say formaldehyde?? I needed a caffeine kick so I caved. Some strawberries, cucumber, chips and the other half of my sandwich from last night.

Workout

What workout…I AM NOT WORKING OUT TODAY. My brain cannot handle it.

Dinner

Veggie Spanish Rice, Organic Pinto and Black Beans and a few slices of Avocado. Yum.

Tea Time. It’s that time of year when cold tea is starting to taste better than the hot. 😦

Goodnight.

What a Monday! Started off good…I made a beautiful new flower arrangement for my desk and it put me in such a good mood, this is surprising only because ask my coworkers…I HATE Mondays! photo (6)

As the day progressed I was in a pretty terrible mood, I don;t know what was wrong with me I was just pissy and cranky and I could’t wait for the day to be over. I feel like the champagne from the night before was part of my problem so I decided I needed to detox and get that poison out of me ASAP.

It looks like there is glitter in my ‘Every Day Detox’ Tea, but there isn’t don’t worry!

Lunch

Kinda boring, I was not hungry at all!

Afternoon Tea, an attempt to get rid of my splitting headache, and it worked!!

photo (5)

It was finally 4:30pm and I got to go home…not in the mood to workout at all, I decided to have an early dinner so I had a small bowl of Chili and then took a short nap(LAZY!) Then I decided to get my lazy butt up and do my workout…I did. I didn’t feel like it was very effective, my mind just wasn’t in it at all, but I sure was sweating!

JM-Wk 3-Check

Ball Squeeze-Check

I am not looking forward to tonight’s official weigh in…I weighed myself this morning and still no change!? I am frustrated and confused…I am beginning to dread weigh-in’s and Tuesdays. Trying to stay positive and remember what my Dad always tells me…’Muscle weighs more than fat.’ So let’s just hope I am gaining some heavy muscle…
