Post 60: Week Two of CP25K and Updates

Monday was the start of week two of my CP25K workout program.

It went well. I had to skip the last day of week one because it was on the day of T-Dawg's wedding.

Going from not working out for 6 days to working out again is rough.

LaJa (well I convinced her) and I decided that we are going to run a 5k in the Spring.

From now until December we are conditioning for the 5k and then from December until the Spring we are going to work on running it faster.

I'm excited. I've always wanted to run in a marathon before (is 5k considered a marathon?).

I think I'm more excited than LaJa though.

Wish us luck!

We need it!

-----------------------------------------------------

So about my interview...

It went really well (I suck at interviewing). I'm pretty convinced I got the job.

Usually when someone tells you to put in your two weeks notice that means you probably got it right?

I hope. Because she told me to put in my two weeks notice at DGP (she thought I still worked there).

I should know by Friday either way!

--------------------------------------------------

I watched EJ yesterday. I'm cherishing these last few times I get to watch her.

I gave her a bath in our kitchen sink before her nap. She did really well in sitting up but she tends too lean to far forward so I had to help her a bit. I can't believe how fast she's growing up!

She kept trying to pick up the bubbles but they kept disintegrating in her little hands.

She was confused and just stared at her empty hands for awhile before trying again.

Here are a few adorable photos of her in the sink.

Here are some more cute pics of EJ. Because I like to brag.

There's also two videos at the end. One of LaJa and EJ and one of EJ rolling over. So cute!

What can I say, I'm a proud Aunt.

Sitting up all by herself in the cart at Target.

I bought her that shirt from Baby Gap. It suits her perfectly.

Post 54: C25K in 9wks & Funny eCards

I have decided to do this thing called "Couch Potato to 5k in 9 weeks". It looks easy and I kinda miss running.

Plus if I start today I'll be able to run 3 miles by the time I go to Florida!

And hopefully I'll be slightly smaller when I go so it won't be too horrible on the beach!

LaJa and I (and possible Mum) are going to do it.

Wish me luck!

Funny ecards. Enjoy.

Post 45: Long Post with many Topics! You'll enjoy it though!

So I've been wanting to get back into shape recently. Mostly because I coach Rugby and should be in shape (plus I really want to play at the Ohio Rugby Classic as a pick up player) AND because I've noticed a few extra pounds to my body and would like them to be gone.

I took a spinning class a few days a week during the summer with the sister-in-law, LaJa but after my internship ended (therefore a lack of money) and LaJa started teaching again I quite. I had just started to feel better about myself and more energetic when I had to quit and now I'm back to my old lazy days again.

After running today I realized just how out of shape I really am. When I played soccer in college I could quick jog over 5 miles at once. Now I can't even jog 1/4 a mile at once without dying (and my asthma has gotten worse now that I'm more out of shape).

I believe partial blame goes to my boobies. When I played soccer I was a full C. Now I'm a full D, almost a DD. So yea, I was blessed, er, cursed with wonderfully large tatas. Ugh.

Perhaps jogging while in pain from intense lady cramps wasn't the grandest of ideas...

Now I hurt.

I've heard exercise helps lessen the pain of lady cramps. Whoever said that must've been a man.

Moving on...

So I was listening to the music I have on my blog page and realized the DMX song I have is NOT edited. Wow. His lyrics are almost the equivilant to watching a porno. My poor virgin ears...

So I apologize to anyone who was offended by DMX's vulgar, yet poetic lyrics. I will have DMX removed ASAP.

How 'bout a more story about Mum before I leave yea?! Grand!

Mum and I were watching Gilmore Girls today (the episode with Emily and Richards second wedding). I'll refresh your memories of the scene. It involved a bachelorette party and pasta shaped like male genitalia...okay now that we're all up to date lets move on...

(Mum is not shy about sex. In fact her favourite word is Penis and she shouts it aloud whenever she can...I always tell her if you can't say Penis aloud without laughing you shouldn't have sex...she usually comes back with some awkward remark about her and Daddy-O that I'd rather not talk about...moving on...again)

Me:[amazed] "Seriously! They make pasta that looks like boy bits?!!!"

Mum:[giggling] "I guess so! Sweet!"

Me:[still amazed] "I need to find out where they sell them! I want to host a bridal shower at church and make Penis Pasta...with mini meatballs!"

Mum:[still giggling] "Oooh, and little weiners too!"

Me:[still amazed and excited about Penis Pasta with Mini Meatballs and Little Weiners] "And we can make hot dogs and put two little meatballs at one end!"

Mum:[quoting Master of Diguise] "Do you have a little weiner and some tiny nuts!"

Me: "I'm totally gonna make Penis pasta with mini meatballs for church!"

I am not so shy about sexual discussions with Mum either. Although when it gets personal, it gets awkward.

P.S. I swear that kid, Collin Gosselin (John & Kate + 8) looks like a 4 year old version of my ex boyfriend. Creepy.

P.S.S. or P.P.S. If there's something you really want to know about me just ask. I'm pretty much an open book and if you ask me something I'd rather not answer I'll let you know or I'll email the answer. Nothing's off limits. Put it's with this post only so ask quickly!
