Throwback Thursday Christmas Edition

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
19 Dec

Hello! How’s your week going? Countdown to holiday vacation time – right!

I took half a day off  yesterday and headed to my mom’s for some Christmas shopping. The dogs wanted to come too, but we made them stay and hold down the fort.

Blue skies by day…

Pink sky at sunset – beautiful.

Lunch – Salad in the container the lettuce came in, I consider it a small victory when I avoid dirtying a dish.

Dessert – when I got home I ate some of the healthy monkey bread with a ton of whipped cream. So, I guess that cancels out the health. Bah. Recipe coming in a bit!!

Throwback Thursday – Christmas Edition

There are 2 versions of this picture, one is with my glasses and then I took them off so you get this one…

It was probably about 6th grade when I asked for those Mickey Mouse slippers for Christmas. I loved them! Ha! Side note: I still haven’t learned how to sit like a lady.

Vegas gets a throwback too! Santa Cat from 2 years ago.

25 Days of Fitness Challenge

Day 19 – 25 minutes of cardio. I usually take Thursdays off from running so today I walked for 25 and I plan to do another 25 later.

    We don’t have to travel more than 10 minutes to celebrate! Of course, we live in WI, so that’s not that exiting; we should probably go to Hawaii or something.

    I had an “easy” 6 miles on my schedule today. I’m currently training for my first full. After over 20 years of running, I’m finally taking the leap. But, I have to say, my body is screaming at me. I’m having a time of it..and I’m only 6 weeks in! I’m having a knee issue and a piss poor stomach after my long runs! I should have attempted this 10 years ago when I was younger and less injury prone 😉

    Cross training day – so it was strength training after a 30min warm up on the elliptical.

    Cardio of choice WILL be:

    The Zumba class that I teach (but I don’t count that for myself because I’m teaching)…

    And then I will head upstairs to the treadmill for a run!

    Hoping to be up early in the morning for a nice run as well!

    My cat would probably maul me to death if I tried to put her in an outfit.
    Today’s cardio is Insanity. Ouch.

    Running for sure! I did a quick run this morning and then took a walk.

    Running is certainly my cardio of choice. I’ll have logged 1,900 miles in 2013 alone, which is way beyond the 750 I’d originally I’d thought I’d be able to do.

    Can’t wait for that healthified monkey bread recipe. I could eat a whole pan by myself and that’s probably not a good thing.

    My cardio today was a quick 4 miler on the treadmill. I miss outdoors…

    And that picture of Vegas is killing me! He looks thrilled, adorable!

    I might go on a walk! It’s warmed up to 40ish today and that feels like SUMMERTIME. Living in the north has totally changed my perception of temperatures, haha
