Hello!! It's 2012!!

I was supposed to go and see my OB/GYN today. My appointment was for 7:30am. And I got up, got ready and headed on over.

I pretty much consider myself a morning person so that is why I picked such an early appointment. However. I didn't sleep very well last night (I had some serious back/hip issues and I slept for 2 hours in the middle of the day. Just because the bed looked inviting while I was changing the sheets).

Imagine my surprise when I got there and they told me my doctor was out sick and they had been trying to call my house phone since 6:30am so they could reschedule my appointment.

Hello!! It's 2012! Who still uses their house phone? Don't get me wrong, I know people do, but our landlord has been working on the electricity in our apartment for a few weeks now and it gets shut off and on several times a day. Our house phone (which no one calls anymore. Not even my Mom) probably wasn't even charged or hooked up right.

I could have used another hour of sleep. I was dragging my ass when I got there and I have been trying to cut back on my coffee intact, but had to get some this morning. I went without all weekend. Lately the taste doesn't even interest me.

Sigh...I have so many questions for my doctor. But I will have to wait until NEXT Monday. And I really hope they don't reschedule me again.

Bad Ass

Sometimes I forget how much I love the gym. When I rejoined the gym in February I was so excited. They had moved to a new location and everything was so big and bright and shiny. They had all this parking they didn't have before and I found myself working out not just by running, but with weights and other cardio equipment, too. I was able to go after work if I didn't make it in the morning and I was doing 5-6 days a week.


I caught bronchitis for the 2nd time in 5 months around that same time but I was back at it again as soon as I could breath and still in love with the gym.

So why do I find myself not utilizing my membership? I don't understand it. Yes, I have my own treadmill and a bowflex, but I find myself pushing harder and feeling better when I'm at the gym. I feels so much better to be in that air conditioned gym instead of my heat vacuumed garage.

This week I hit the gym 3 times for the first time in a while. And it was awesome. They are moving in Arc Trainers this weekend and couldn't be more excited. I can't wait to be able to use them on a weekly basis after trying my first one up in New Hampshire last month. Bad ass.

Happy Birthday America!

I want a hotdog. Which to me is odd because I don't like hotdogs. The only reason I can think of is that yesterday at work someone was cooking hotdogs in the microwave and right away I thought "I want that". Last night while grocery shopping I picked up some turkey dogs.

I cannot wait to eat a couple tonight. The hubby has promised to grill and it's really all I have been thinking about today.

I was in a pretty grumpy mood last night. I was tired and exhausted from work and so I was in bed and asleep by 9pm. I got up at 9am. I had 12 wonderful hours of sleep and was at the gym by 9:30am and working my tail off. It felt great.

I even scrubbed my bathroom floor today.

Now, if you will excuse me, I am off to beg the husband to fire up the grill!!

Hello July!!

I have some news!!

I am no longer trying to lose weight. I have decided to maintain where I am right now and continue working out and eating healthy. My clothes fit and I'm pretty content where I am. I need to stop obsessing over the scale and everything for awhile.  And the best way for me to do that is just to step back from it and not worry about my weight.

I guess the big news is that the husband and I are trying to have a baby.

If you follow me on twitter, you already know this. I've been pretty vocal over the past few months about my desire to have a baby and how my husband was dragging his feet. But, with my every clicking tock, my work bestie giving birth and my age (I will be 37 this year and he just turned 36)

I thought about starting a whole new blog about trying to get pregnant and all, but why? I'm going to just keep this blog so everyone (if they want) can keep following me.

It's all very exciting and scary at the same time!! I hope you will continue to follow me!! I need to find some "Mommy Blogs" and "Pregnancy Blogs", too. Any suggestions would be awesome!!

Redrum

I've been busy. I've been a bad blogger. I don't know what else to say.

 It doesn't mean that I've fallen off the wagon.

 I'm not happy with my current weight but I'm not UNhappy with it. I'm still trying to lose the weight I've gained, but my heart isn't in it 100%.

I haven't weighed myself in a couple weeks. My clothes still fit so that is a plus. I've been running and lifting weights 4-5 days a week. Sometimes at home or sometimes at the gym. While we were up in New Hampshire last weekend I used an Arc Trainer for the very first time. WOW! I want my gym to get those. It was awesome.

The hotel we stayed at was super nice but really creepy because it reminded me of the one from "The Shining". I kept holding up my finger and repeating "Redrum, Redrum" all weekend long. Funny now, but not so much while we were at the hotel. As I mentioned above, I used their fitness center and it was fantastic. It was HUGE. And I was so excited when I saw they had Arc Trainers. I skipped my run on Saturday for that. My gym keeps telling me they are getting them, but not yet.

Work has been insanely busy these past few weeks. I can hardly breath. Yesterday I had breakfast at 1pm. Yes. I said 1pm. That is just wrong.

Tomorrow night the husband and I are going to see Fiona Apple in concert. This will be the 2nd time I've seen her and I cannot wait. She is amazing!!

I am going to try and be a much better blogger in July. I really need to be. I have been keeping up with all of you, I just don't always comment.

Miss me??

I'm still here! I've been busy and sort of neglecting my blog.

The husband and I are heading up to New Hampshire this weekend and I promise to start blogging more when I come back.

I finally have my mojo back and I feel great!
