Getting in gear with the Fridaylutions

Lookit me go! I'm actually getting to these on time today. I really feel as though I'm making this too easy on myself, but at the same time, I feel good because I feel like I'm getting things accomplished. I suppose I just don't have that much difficult stuff to take care of. Ah well, let's look at last week.

Take yo ass to the gym at least four times this week. That membership is not free. Almost a WIN. I went Monday, Wednesday and I'm going today.
Really, wrap up the school work earlier in the week. Maybe even try to get ahead? Do you really want to do homework while you're on vacation? MOVE IT! EPIC FAIL. Here it is Friday and I haven't finished the assignment for this week. UGH!
Try to find time to add stretching to the routine. FAIL. Yoga doesn't count in this instance. I need to do some active, circus-specific stretching.
At least install Joomla. One step at a time. Maybe read one chapter. FAIL AGAIN! Dammit!
Drag Lovey out of the house for a friend's party on Saturday…if I can stay awake. This one will be a WIN. We've discussed it already.
Research a book on writing a book. (Any help greatly appreciated on this one.) FAIL, FAIL, FAIL. Damn, I'm lazy.
Pick up a bikini top and maybe a cute dress for Saturday. WIN! I realized I didn't need a new bikini after trying on all the ones I currently have. I didn't get a dress for Saturday (it's going to be chilly), but I did get a cute sweater to go with my jeans and boots.
Make a conscious effort to be more optimistic. WIN! I think the exercise and being busy really helps.

Not terrible, but not great. So, let's see what we have for this coming week.

Keep up the good work getting to the gym. Four days this week.
Take down the tree this weekend for Pete's sake!
Kick Kiddo's butt at Guitar Hero on Saturday
HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!
Order this kick-ass jacket if when the Steelers win on Sunday.
Please get ahead with the school work!
Schedule time for stretching and actually do it.
Joomla is STILL waiting!
Get rid of two pounds.

That should be enough for the week. As always, have a ROCO Friday. Love each other. 🙂

QotD: Draw Your Own Conclusion

Which cartoon character best represents you?

T_Powerpuff-Girls-Buttercup

I lurve me some Powerpuff Girls. Buttercup there is the bad ass. Takes no shit. And she can roll her Rs.

Awwwww

I love that Kiddo introduces me to her friends as "probably the coolest person you'll ever meet."

Did you ever get that feeling?

You know, the one where something just isn't right?

I had that one this morning and was having a really hard time shaking it off. So I started thinking about my day. Slept an hour later than usual because I decided to skip the gym today. Went downstairs to make breakfast only to find that our pooch (who is getting up there in years) released the pee monster on the floor. Ugh. Went about my mopping and threw her blankie in the washer.

Went upstairs and stared into the closet. Lots of clothes, nothing to wear. I know, I know. Finally figured it out and was only a couple minutes "late" for work. Still feeling some hidden blah so I called MommaShyner (she's all good) and BruddaShyner (he's all good too). Kiddo's safe at school. Lovey's at work. All is more or less right in my universe.

My horoscope for today said:

With your credit cards maxed out you may be thinking that your bank account is not as healthy as it could be. But today you are likely to receive some news that indicates otherwise. You may get a windfall of some kind, or discover that your stock portfolio is generating healthy returns. It's a good day for paperwork. Enjoy this great day!

Well, fortunately, my cards aren't maxed out, but I can certainly feel the part about the bank account. She's not overdrawn by any means, she would just like some friends in there. I wonder if I won some lottery money last night.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm all thrown off because I didn't go to the gym this morning and I had no plans of going this evening. Withdrawl!! I may be turning into some sort of gym rat. I found a Krav Maga class (thanks for mentioning that a while back, LeendaDLL) and I am going for the first time next week. That puts me at the gym every weekday. At least the membership won't be going to waste.

I've been trying to eat a little better, so this week, my meals have gone a little something like this:

Breakfast – Egg Beaters with a slice of 2% American (mmmm, processed cheese)
Snack 1 – Cottage cheese with fruit
Lunch – Spinach salad with peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, cucumbers, grated parm and light balsamic viniagrette
Snack 2 – Yogurt
Dinner – Either orange roughy or salmon with a smidge of a veggie
Sometimes a snack 3 – Spoon of peanut butter

A day or two ago, I started craving red meat. Odd because I don't usually eat it – it makes my tummy hurt. Today I decided that I HAD to have it or I might start gnawing on my arm. Oh McDonalds. So convenient. So greasy. So delicious. Or at least I think you were delicious because I am quite certain that I didn't even chew that double cheeseburger. I did, however, chew my salad. I think I can be red meat free once again for another couple months.

That's pretty much all I've got for today. Sometimes I just need to get stuff out of my head, you know? I'm off for now. Gotta go get the girls their 2 month checkup. Hope all is well with all of you.

SMALLVILLE TONIGHT!!
