I want Wednesdays and a little about life


I don't know how this works but...here goes!

I want...
a million belly rings!
to learn how to add pics to this thing!
a new tattoo!
I've got it all planned out...just have to get someone to draw it for me

Now, I started this blog roughly 3 hours ago...what has happened since then
I'm winning the contest at work, a woman got trapped in the elevator, and a man made a very big situation over the lack of an ottoman in his room.

Well, since I've gotten all that news over here's my life as of today: restarted th p90x....still struggling with finding time but...keeping positive :-)

Last night I worked 3-11 pm on front desk, this AM I worked 7-1o am in the bistro, I'm working 3-11 pm on front desk...and in the morning I work 7-10 am....so...I am a little over booked...but!...It will get better!

Not to gross anyone out but I have stomach issues and I forgot to take my probiotics today so I'm having some major tummy troubles...on the same topic...I think I need to give up chicken again...I know it sounds weird but since I started eating meat again my troubles have returned, but it seems to only occur when I eat chicken..so I may give it up again...something needs to be done tho

So, about this tattoo...I think it'll be great and beautiful, even if my husband thinks it's silly. I like the picture that's in my head so now the task is to get it translated into a drawing for my man Chris to, eventually, etch on my rib cage!

Life is really great right now! I miss David a lot bc Lowe's keeps him tied up sometime 12 hours a day, but we are hopeful that the MFD will call him for the up coming training class. Obviously, I've been working more hours and am loving the large pay checks. I hate being away from home, but financial breathing room is nice.

**ALERT**
Here are a few things I am struggling with...not in a serious way but things that...I'll keep updates on...
  • p90x lost a total of 2 lbs! However, still struggling with finding the time to workout.
  • tummy troubles I'm going to try a new probiotic, as well as taking my vitamins on a regular basis to try to regulate it and see if I get better
  • my house...is an utter disaster and disgusting mess....I'm afraid it might be condemned...so..I must start working on it TOMORROW!
  • my class...I'm not behind technically...but I need to read chap 1 and 2 by saturday in order to be ready for the first quizzes...
So those are the major events going on in my life...I'll be more diligent about my updates and...if you have questions ask!

Friday dressed as a Monday

Sitting her at the Courtyard by Marriott in Troy and thought I would reflect on my day:

So I've been off work for the past two days and so today, while to everyone else as Friday, was for me a Monday and brought with it allt he stress and gloomy-ness attached. So...after all the headache and heartburn I'm declairing today a holiday!!!! My husband and I are gonna go out and be young people. Then...I'll get up in the morning and work out...hard...

No...I didn't workout today either...however I ran twice this week so...that worked my legs extra... is that a fair trade off???

On the other had missing 1.5 workouts is NOT gonna prevent me from losing any weight at all..by the by I've lost 2 lbs!!! AND...My pants fit better!!! YAY!

Gonna let my hair down tonight!

p90x and the constant search for a better body

So, today was day 4 of my journey to FINISH p90x. I wasted time all day and mainly did nothing, then finally talked myself into starting the Yoga X DVD. Well, the the disc messed up and I just gave up...I'm feeling really guilty....
I've been doing really well with my pescetarinism (although I haven't eaten any fish since the cruise) and I'm trying not to be too hard on myself about this whole working out thing. Don't get me wrong but I just want to really do it this time. I would really like to get into better shape.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not unhappy or disgusted in any way with my body but I would like to be in better shape, I could definitely be firmer. However, above all that I would like to be in good shape purely for the health of it. All that being said, I find it hard to have self discipline and not feel like I'm being to hard on myself.
So, where is the balance between self-discipline and craziness. I don't want to do something that is physically or mentally unhealthy. Everyone is insecure and everyone has at least small image issues and I am very cautious of NOT developing unhealthy habits.
I think I just have to keep trying and keep working at it and I'll finally see more improvements. I want more than anything to stick with my vegetarianism/pescetarianism however you want to classify me and to stick with my working out. Like Tony says "Do your best and forget the rest" Tomorrow is a new day and a new workout so I'll just keep working at it and do everything one day at a time, like the alcoholics say.
On a final note, I am so terribly excited that Chris and Brenda just happened to start p90x the same day as David and I. It really adds an extra level of support and encouragement that, while accidental, is very needed and helpful. :-) So, thanks guys! When I feel more comfortable I'll think about posting my before picture. (Maybe on day 30 when I'm already a little ripped...hahahaha)
On the slate for tomorrow: Short Run, Legs & Back, and Ab Ripper X! The fun never stops with p90x!!!!
