Off the wagon!

You know you've fallen off the wagon when you're watching The Biggest Loser while eating Culvers and wearing your work clothes! I did't even know the Biggest Loser was on TV now.

My "N" key is sticking on my computer so the N doesn't always show up when I type. It makes me wonder what life is like without any "Ns." Oh, it just fixed itself...weird.

I enjoy Jillian Michaels. If I had anyone I could be...it would probably be her. She's very cut-throat, plus she's got a great body and one I dream of having. She's says what she wants to say and I wish I could do that more instead of write a blog about it. At least people know where she stands...and she just told someone she's full of shit...ha. I'm not sure I could do that or perhaps I'm learning. I'm semi-disappointed in her marketing herself and her workout skills, since that's just a little annoying, but I'll deal with it.

I love Culver's root beer.

My apartment is a cool 65 degrees. Chilly...yeah, me too. Thank God for fuzzy socks and large comfy blankets.

Here's to a 5:30 wake-up call to WORK OUT. Time to get back on the wagon...

Big Girls Don't Cry

I can't cry. I've tried similar to Cameron Diaz in "The Holiday," it quite strange actually. I wonder if this is normal.

I am not good at driving at night. My brain plays tricks on me, it's like I see people, bears, deer...running across the freeway.

I enjoy small children. They are cute and fun to play with and then they leave and don't bother me anymore.

I enjoy a glass of red wine in the evening hours of the day.

Random texts from long lost friends are nice to receive and make me smile.

I miss my friends.

RUN for your life.

I ran my 5K and it felt great! My father was there to see me through the finish line, which was a great feeling :) I think I will continue to run more 5Ks.

Super hero?

Readers: Don't try to save the world by yourself. It doesn't work.

Also, how do you wake up Lady Gaga?

POKE HER FACE!

That never gets old...

Zumba

After a long day, Zumba is the cure! I also don't think that white people should "zumba" in public. It's funny to watch myself, but even funnier to watch others and that makes me laugh.

My night will consist of work, turkey sandwich, asprin, Six feet Under and...yep, well, that's a Monday for ya.

5K around the corner!

Lake Michigan is beautiful! I ran along the Chicago lakeshore on Saturday and the breeze and water the breathtaking. I wish I could run there every day and perhaps someday I will. I have the Autism 5K this weekend and I'm not sure I'm 100 percent ready. I plan to run tomorrow and Wednesday and still lift on Tuesday and Thursday. I run bright and early on Saturday and can't wait to give my dad a big hug at the end of the run.

My dad is visiting me this weekend and it's always exciting to have visitors. This visit is exciting since it's the first time he's been down here to Blo-No. I can't wait to enjoy the weather and relax with my dad.

I'm currently a bit obsessed with the series, "Six Feet Under." It ran for 5 seasons and it's follows the life of a family who owns a funeral home. Richard Jenkins, IWU Class of '69, is the dead father who "visits" the children. It's pretty great and I'm really obsessed...but I have one final season left.

Zumba tomorrow :) and then a run...

As far as the rest of my evening--GO PACK GO!

Welcome September!

I can't believe it's already September! After spending a wonderful weekend in Mil-town, I welcome the cool, breezy days of autumn. My weekend was great--filled with visits from great friends.

Is the day back from vacation always crazy? I wish it could be less stressful, but I got a lot done and have a nice list waiting for me tomorrow. Bring it!

I like turkey sandwiches. I had a fresh tomato and it was so amazing. I bought a new book about weightlifting and it's got many helpful tips in it. I'm excited to get the programs started.

More granola...soon I hope.
