happy national eat all your veggies day!

yes that is right friends, today is the day to shove your face with vegetables if you don’t already.  so celebrate accordingly.

well, i have had a day.  this morning walked into a HUGE debacle with a customer’s order being seriously wrong—i am in the construction bizzz and so when something is made wrong it is no bueno.  i got in a yelling match with my sales dude. not rad. on the phone with my work computer tech guy for two hours trying to work out the kinks on my computer. starved to death. finally ate lunch. sigh.

haven’t been able to be online or on my computer all day up until a bit ago, when i had to actually do some real work.. so now i am just catching up with blogland!  my reader creeped over 100 and that gives me anxiety so i decided to post instead of read. yes, i am a tad crazy.. don’t judge :)

TUESDAY!

 

for the sake of speed, i am going to post yesterday’s meals/events in a pretty brief way..

breakfast=PB banana protein oats! plus coffee

 

lunch=salad w/ butter lettuce, spinach, sprouts, cauliflower, mushrooms, snap peas, broccoli, cucumbers, tomato, dijon, hummus + rachel’s red pepper cottage cheese (loved it)

dinner=couscous chickpea salad

wham bam thank you maam.

 

my workout fell between the lunch and the dinner.. i did a lower body workout that went like this:

QUADS/ABS

• bulgarian split squats w/ 10# dumbbell in each hand: 3 sets of 12 each leg
• alternated those squats with 20 bench tuck crunches
• then i did 40 ball crunches.

HAMSTRINGS/ABS

• stiff leg dead lifts w/ 30# barbell: 3 sets of 15 reps
• alternated the dead lifts with 20 reverse crunches
• then did 40 ball crunches.

MORE ABS

• 25 situps on decline bench
• 50 oblique twists on decline bench
• 25 situps on decline bench
• 50 oblique twists on decline bench

that brings my ab rep total to 350 for yesterday. my goal for the week is 1000.

MORE QUADS

while waiting for the calf raise machine i did

• 3 sets of 15 reps on the leg press @ 80#

GLUTES

i was still waiting for the machine.. hate that.. so i did the kick back glute machine thingie.. don’t know the name?

• 3 sets of 12 reps each leg on the glute kickback machine

CALVES

• 3 sets of 15 reps @ 20# on the standing weighted calf raise machine

the end.

 

so then i went home and it was my roomie’s birthday!  she turned 20.  ohhh to be young again. i am old.

she made the bombest feast that i had to miss out on because i had prior engagements!  but she made this stuff:

chips, pico, guac, chicken, black bean & corn salsa.. all home made (cept for the chips)  and then after i left she made fish tacos.. sigh, cry, janetha b. missed out big time!

but that was ok, because marshall and i went to isis.. which is a super wonderful band, loved the show, loved the company, loved every minute of it although i can’t hear today.  yes, it was one of those loud bands where it is a good idea to wear ear plugs. i didn’t.

when we got home from the show there was another show waiting for us.  all my roommates and friends, hilarious.  i got my roomie a pinata for her birthday!  here are the highlights.

hanging it with rock climbing rope…

birthday girl trying to hit it..

missing a zillion times and then taking off the blindfold and still missing it…

giving up and swinging from the rope instead, like a monkey..

then it finally broke! candy errrywhere…

birthday girl wrestling for candy.. with her mom and aunt and jessica no less..

pete is stoked…

then i realized candy on ground + 5 dogs = disaster, so me, being one of the only sobers, picked it all up….

 

no she does not normally rock the bandana, it was the blindfold from pinata time. ha..

yes i am always wearing those hoodie dresses, i have 3-black, white and navy. they are from american apparel, they are meant to be long hoodies, but for me.. they work as a dress. i love it.

no candy for marshall and i. our new years resolution was no more candy, we both have not had a bite since december. yesss.

 

WEDNESDAY!

well you already read about my rough day, so i will post the two meals i have had thus far and call it good.. sorry for my lack of narration..
