Somewhere, somehow this week just totally got away from me.
I guess sometimes that can be a good thing. Another week down and in the books
and its Friday afternoon with a whole impending weekend upon me. This is always
a good thing. Life was crazy this week. Work was extra busy. My bosses were
around which is never a fun thing :)
My puppy Bella accidently scratched my older dog Molly’s eye
on Monday night. We had to take her into the vet first thing Tuesday morning.
It was so sad and awful, she couldn’t even open her eye and I spent a vast
amount of time freaking out about her poor eye and worrying about her. She got
medicine and we’ve been dutifully administering it in her eye. She is slowly
getting better which makes me happy, finally. But it’s a sensitive situation
and I was beyond panicked. This is the first time there has been something
wrong with one of my babies ever. Turns out I was a worried wreck. I had panic attacks of what if she goes blind
or loses her eye? And the overwhelming thought that crossed my mind was no
matter what happened, we’d put a patch on her and she’d be my perfect amazing
one eyed dog. I love that girl so much and no matter what she is my baby. It’s not really Bella’s fault and I’m still
trying to give her lots of love and attention. But it is very hard to keep
Bella away from Molly while she is recuperating and not feeling well and
needing to have her eye left alone. I am
a constant referee.
On Tuesday I also took my passport application into the
designated office and got that sent off. 4-6 weeks and I should have that. So
another thing off my plate. It’s always nice to get things crossed off the
list. Especially considering that I’ve already booked and paid for the airfare
and the hotel to Puerto Vallarta I really need that passport. But I have done
my part now and all should be good.
Wednesday night was in fact leg day in personal training and
as I could have told you, I am hobbling around now with sore ass muscles. My
ass and my hamstrings are on fire. This does not of course bode well for the
half marathon I am running tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM. I will push thru
anyway, but still. OUCH!
My deep cough/cold seems to have gotten better. There are
still a few lingering traces of the cough but nothing like it was last week. I
think maybe perhaps things have stabilized enough that my body is getting
somewhat back on track. I didn’t have a
super stellar week in terms of my effort physically with exercise and/or
eating, but I weighed myself yesterday nonetheless and was happy to see 148.3
on the scale, meaning I had lost 1.5 pounds. Nice and steady consistent me. I
will take it. 3 weeks until San Jose. 3 weeks exactly from today I will be
there. This puts me on a good pace/track to reach my 145 goal by San Jose. 3
weeks, 3.3 pounds. Honestly at this exact moment I already feel like a winner
so whatever happens beyond this is just gravy. I’m much happier being 148.3
than the 159.5 that I saw 7 weeks ago.
I am actually pretty exhausted right now today. I realized
that I have exercised for the last 6 days in a row so this is probably just my
body telling me it’s time for a break. Of course I only get the 1 day break and
my body probably is going to quite object tomorrow morning. Whatever happens,
happens I suppose.
Last night I went pretty easy at the gym honestly. The
beauty of my entire family now living in the same city is impromptu last night
we all ended up at a sushi place for dinner right next door to my gym. We were
meeting there at 6:30. So I got to the gym about 5:15, put in a solid hour and
then headed over for sushi with the family. It really is nice to see everyone
randomly on a Thursday night. And then
today my brother in law texted me asking me about Victoria Secret sports bras
for my youngest sister. He said she has been having a shit week and he wanted
to get her a surprise and knew she wanted one, and was wondering if I knew her
size and of course if I had any coupons. I ALWAYS have coupons so at lunch time
I met him at the mall today and gave him the coupon and helped him pick out one
for my sister. This is the perk of everyone living here. So awesome!
Tonight we are all going to Red Lobster for Endless Shrimp.
Of course, I printed out the nutritional information so that I can be a good
girl and not be extra tempted by the less than healthy shrimp options. It’s
always good to think ahead. Doesn’t always mean I am going to stick to it, but
at least it’s a good thought.
I really feel like closing my eyes and napping away this final
2 hours of work, of course I am pretty sure that would be impossible for me to
actually do but a girl can dream a little bit. Despite being incredibly busy
this week in all aspects of my life I am generally pretty happy. I feel pretty
good and confident with how things are going, and I’m starting to get excited
because like I said, 3 weeks until I get a mini vacation. And then it’s like 6
weeks later and I’m off to Vegas, also very excited about that one too. Then it
will be December and Christmas time and then I just have to get thru January
and then on February 3 I get to go to Puerto Vallarta so life is pretty good
for me honestly. And if I just keep going along this path I’ve been living
these last 7 weeks I have no reason to believe that I won’t be in a great place
physically and mentally by the time I hit the beaches of Mexico.
2014: the best year of my life ever. Here’s to hoping 2015
is every bit as awesome and epic, and I honestly have no reason to believe it
won’t be! Have a fabulous healthy fun
weekend everyone. I know I intend to!
