Rainy Days and Wednesday Coffee

Good Rainy wet Wednesday!
Time for your wake-up juice this morning. Woke up to the sound of a rther good rainstorm this morning. Must have been a little stronger than it sounded as the gym lost power, so no morning work-out.... So I feel a little out of synch this a.m.
QOTD-How do you get out of the door on time? I am somewhat compulsive on being on time. So, if I have a gym class in the morning, I make sure I have everything together and put it where I can find it the night before. If I don't and I can't find something, it throws me off...
Later going to volunteer for the Blood Drive at church.....
Have a good one

Morning everyone.  No rain here yet...but you can tell it's coming.  I hope NIck's bus gets here before the rain does!

I am not drinking anything yet.  Just had a bowl of Special K Protein Plus with some raisins and as soon as that empties out I will have my iron pill. 

Today is day 2 of my couch to 5K program.  The question is.......do I make myself run in the rain?  I am going to dinner with friends tonight so my plan was to go right after work, then get ready to go out.  We shall see if I have enough gumption to brave the weather.

I am like you, Deb.  I put everything out the night before because I lose almost everything.  I have to get everyone else ready too and it's just too much to find all that stuff while you are getting ready.

Brenda,

I struggling with the same thing today - I made a commitment to walk everyday but the thought of walking in the rain with wet shoes isn't doing anything for me . . I'm wondering if 45 minutes on the gazelle will count?

Yep, if you are moving your butt, it counts!!

I am trying to stick with the C25K program.  The thought of trying to do the walk/run intervals on the treadmill at the gym scares me to death.  I know I'm going to trip and smash my face or something!

The rain has let up here, so hopefully at 5:15 I can get out there and do it.   

Morning!!

It rained here a little while ago. I was in bed hoping it was going to thunderstorm but no luck so I got up out of bed. I am a little sore today because I was out in the yard moving trees yesterday.

I just had a lower sugar detour bar for breakfast and drinking my usual raspberry iced tea. Today I get to go do some shopping that I have needed to do. And I get to go to the grocery store. We have one locally that doubles coupons up to a 1.00 and it makes it so great to go shopping there.

QOTD: I tend to be highly organized. So things tend to be put together the night before. All my meds are on the counter to remind me to take them before leaving. And I have a routine which helps me out. The only way I run late is if the traffic is bad on 696.

Have a great day everyone! Enjoy the rainy day because this weekend it is suppose to be pretty!

Morning All

Coffee is gone and working on some protien chia tea. Then it is on to the water/crystal lite/decaf tea. 

I am really tired today.  My doc put me on Neuronton to reduce the sweeling of my nerve bundle and get me back to where I was.  One of the side affects is tiredness and fatique.  I have been on it since Saturday, and it is kicking my butt.  I went home last night had some dinner, ran to the library and returned books and came home.  My son wanted me to watch some cartoons with him in my room, so we layed down on the bed, and I was out cold.  I got up at 9:30 had a snack so I could take my meds and right back to bed.  I slept a good 12 hours, and I am still tired. 

QOTD - during the school year, I have everything ready the night before.  Now that it is just me going out the door, it is a little easier.  I try to have my lunch packed the night before, helps me make better choices.  If I don't pack it, I have a tendancy to hit the food court.

Good Morning All :)

I am drinking minute maid Light Lemonade today.  Its good!  I'm at work and getting ready to be productive. lol  No rain here yet. 

QOTD~ I don't get out the door on time.  I was always on time or early and then I had children.  At  1.5 and 3.5  I swear they make it their mission of the day to make us late!  Good thing I have a flexible job :)  I do put my stuff out for the gym the night before so I can be quiet and sneak out at 5 am without waking up the kids or the dogs.  Have a great day all!

Well good morning everyone.  Michigan must have a rain cloud over the entire state from the looks of these posts.
I'm drinking my first Chai Tea (Thanks Pam for the sample).  I really like it, but it has a little too much clove so when I make it I'll boost the cinnamon and cut back on the clove.  I like the thickness and comfort of it.  My DIL is a huge Chai Tea lover, so I'm going to make her a batch when I get some powdered milk in the house.  That's something I've never had on hand.
I've got a wedding to go to on the 27th.  When I was in NYC last September I bout two pashmina's figuring I could use them on cool evenings here.  Well, doncha know, I have no clue where I put them.  I've been thru my dresser, hope chest and closet.  Can't find them anywhere.  I hate this CRS crap.  I don't want to go out and buy something more so I'll just suffer.  The reception is over by the water, so I'll just be cold.
I still haven't decided whether to color my hair or just get highlights.  I've got 2 1/2 hours to decide.
hope everyone has a productive day.

I personally like highlights.. but let us know what you decide!

I ended up with highlights again and a cut that's something like Kate, of Jon and Kate plus 8.  I couldn't bring myself to go red this time.  maybe next time.
