I'm Back!! Busy Off Days!!!

Hey friends..  So sorry I didn't post while I was off.  I was so busy--like something to do every day busy.  But I'm back and able to post!  Mya is doing much much better.  She actually jumped on my bed for the first time yesterday.  So that tells me she is doing much better.  She also started waking up at 4am again---Another dreaded sign that she is on the mend!  And of course, she did it this morning since I had to work.  Glad she is better, not happy with her waking me up...

One thing I'm excited to announce is that I started a new business venture.  It will launch in July and I'm so excited about it.  So be on the look out for links to my site that will let you place orders and view my weekly specials.   I would love love  love to come do a party for you and your girlfriends...  I promise it will be a blast!!

Sick Baby Girl...

Hey friends...  This post is going to be short.  Mya has been very sick the past two days due to a tick bite.  I dropped her off at the vet this morning for another round of meds.  Thank you to all my sweet friends and family for the prayers.  After a long and sleepless night, she did atleast go to the bathroom outside this morning.  I do see improvement from last night, just wish it was happening faster.  I like "bouncing all over the place Mya".  Her energy feeds me...

I'll keep ya'll posted and am off for a while after today...

Mya and Facebook...

I had way too much time on my hands Monday so I created Mya her very own Facebook page...  I know, should have been working out!!  But here is the link....  Watch my sweet baby as she grows up.

39 Days til Glow in the Park

Well my visions of having a fun little group have died off.  I do believe it will be just me going and you know what---I'm fine with that.   I have never in my life had a problem talking to a stranger, and I seriously doubt things will change anytime soon.  I'm doing this for myself, getting healthier and happier with the "divorced" me...  I had no problems hopping on a plane to Montana by myself ----so running in the dark while someone throws paint on me surely can't be all that stressful.  39 days---I can do this...

That being said, I really need to step up my game.  I know there is no way I can run the entire thing.  It will be more like my C25K training.  Some running, some jogging and more walking.  I really wish Mya could do it with me.   She makes me walk faster.  And when we are running, she will look back at me and I swear she is telling me "just a little further, than you can stop."   Since it's so hot for her, I'm only going to walk her once with me and then use my "walking music" for my second walk. 

I also think it will help me to vary where I'm walking.  I love love love walking the Hillsboro Trail beside my house---it's almost totally shaded.  But has very little, if any, hills--they are short, small ones.  So I think this afternoon I'm going to walk one of the connecting road by my house.  Hills are steaper and it will be a change.  Just hate that cars are going to be passing me thinking I'm on death's door!  Cause I poor sweat like a crazy person!  Must wear a damn good sports bra!!  Lol.  Along with my hat and shades!

Happy Monday friends...

Fun In The Sun With Mya.....

Yesterday was really Mya's first full afternoon hanging outside with me while I sunbathed and she played in her pool.  She really likes her pool!  It was funny, when I turned the hose on to fill it up, I think she was blown away that water was coming out of the wall!  She stood there drinking from that for the longest!  Just loved it!

She still hasn't rolled around in it...  Just jumps in and out all the time...

Loves the hose water from the wall!!!

Loves me and Mac with all her heart...  She is my angel....

Mya and Hot!!

My sweet girl says damn it's hot!!!  She isn't moving too far away from her pool!!

Finally Fixed It!!!

I finally fixed Quinoa!!  I have to say it was really good.  I fixed it with bourbon salmon and asparagus...  So good..  It's a keeper..

 

I'm having some family issues, so this post will be short since its from my phone..  

I did get in a 3.9 mile walk/jog yesterday evening with Mya...  Felt great.   I need all the  stress-relievers I can get right now!  

More later friends!!

TGIF!!! Weekend Fun....

Finally day three of work and it's Friday!!!  So ready for my weekend...  Not much planned, but several good movies with some of my favorite actors are coming out this month.  May just have to take in a movie Sunday..  I have always loved Owen and Vince and am so glad to see them together again.  Will be hilarious!!!  Check out the trailer below....

Mya has her second Nosework class tomorrow.  Mac and I are always looking forward to that..  I plan to get up tomorrow morning and take her for a brisk walk/jog so she will not be so hyper and will be more focused.  It's also good if she doesn't eat breakfast.  She tends to search better knowing the reward is treats.  

I'm sure the weekend will blaze by.  House work is also a HUGE must..  Oh and nails---they are looking ghetto long!!  I would love to say some pool time is also planned, but I'm beginning to think I should just grab some tanning bed time.  I can't stand going to the pool when it's partially cloudy out.  Waste to drag everything out and barely get any sun!  In my opinion... 

Well friends, I hope ya'll have a great weekend... 

Love My Gadgets....

If you haven't learned by now, I'm a gadget kinda girl!!  I love my iPhone 5 and can't wait for the next one to come out.  I still have the first generation iPad that came out, but it serves my purposes so I haven't upgraded it.  I simply love anything that helps move me along or keep me informed.

 I recently purchased the Polar (pink) watch and heart rate monitor and adore it!  I love seeing where my heart rate is while exercising.  Wow does it get high!  But I've always had a fast pulse so I knew it would be up there.  I think with consistent workouts and training, this will come down. 

I also have the pretty green Garmin Forerunner 10 and love it just as much!!  I like that it syncs with where I'm at and maps my workouts.  The Garmin is also very easy to sync with my laptop to provide even more information on my workouts.  The Polar has not been easy to set up on the computer at all.  Still having trouble with that.  But I love them both.  I wish I could combine the two so I could get all the features together.  I'm sure there is one out there, but I love my colors!!  Don't laugh, but I tend to wear one on one wrist and the other on the other wrist!!  

The Polar and the Garmin trumpted the FitBit One so I sold it on eBay.   I just wanted more accurate info than what I was getting from it.  But, I hope the little one and her new owner will be happy!!

Day 3---Feeling Great....

Today marks day 3 of me revamping my diet plan and I'm felling great!  I think I was at a platuea of sorts with exercise and motivation.  So I had to change things up a bit.  I did some walking/jogging serveral days, felt great to get outside and get moving.  Exspecially after such a crazy work schedule the past two weeks. 

However, with the added running comes the dreaded runner's toe that I had last year too.  Poor little toes, just the one's next to my big toe---but the nail on each of them start turning blueish and will eventually fall off.  Hate that since it's summer and time for pretty feet!!  I did go get "fitted"  for some new shoes that will hopefully help my little toes...   Putting lots of hope that these new babies help them out!!

As of today, there are 50 days until the Glow in the Park in Hoover on July 26...   May end up doing it as a group too, which will make it even more fun... 

This week I'm going to weigh in on Friday so I can give the "revamping" time to kick in...  Is that cheating alittle???
