I bought books today. Bleh. Why on earth do college course books cost so much? And why on earth do professors make you buy them and then hardly ever assign anything out of em? I hope they are all helpful- and worth the small fortune I spent on them! I'll finish buying them tomorrow :(
I just finished watching the Broncos beat the Steelers, man amazing. Tebow, you do have my respect sir- I may not be a Denver fan but he deserves every win he gets!
I also got to see a little guy that has stolen my heart, my aunt & uncle got a puppy yesterday and I'm in love. He is such a sweetie.
Today has been spent getting on track. I started "Insanity" today and will be doing this in the mornings before I leave for school- which begins in 3 days... Holy Moses. Along with the program comes an eating plan.
The goal is to eat 5 meals a day, each containing about 300 calories. I am keeping it pretty simple with this and being sure to write everything I eat down. It'll be something that keeps me focused and make sure I complete the full 60 day program. I am so looking forward to tomorrow's workout. They will be intense but I love me a good exhausting workout! So much fun.
Tomorrow I order the bridesmaid dress I will be wearing for one of my best friend's wedding. I am so excited! May will be here so soon!
I'm about to finish Ragamuffin Gospel and start my next book. I love reading and it feels like it had been so long since I've just been able to sit down and enjoy reading and soaking in words!
Well I'm off to read and then get ready for the week :)

Starting Now
Tomorrow starts 21 days of change. I am changing my workout habits, eating habbits and free time habbits.
I am commiting to working out 6 days a week, on the 7th I am doing yoga.
I am going to be doing a mixture of running and weight training. I need to get a hold of my focus again.
I am cutting sugar out. If I know what I'm about to eat has sugar in it, not goin in my mouth.
No fast food. I'm sick of feeling like crap
I will be drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day.
I plan on doing this longer than the 21 days of course but its been said that if you do something consistantly for 21 days it becomes a habit. If I can make these small changes now it will change everything for me.
I am going to make time every night to read again. I have tons of amazing books but I just haven't been making enough time to read any of them.
I am also changing the way I spend my money. I want to go to Chicago this summer. The Sox are playing the Cubbies and I want to be there. I love the idea of Chicago. I also like the idea of being able to play with my money a little bit. I don't want to always have to stop and think, "Is this going to drain my account?"

that good ol' exhausted feeling :)
Tonite I am completely exhausted and I love it. I had such a productive day at work and when I got off I hit the gym instead of making an excuse and going home.
When I got there I hopped on one of the cross ramps (cross trainer?) and worked my butt off for an hour. It was one of those workouts that every time I wanted to quit and just be done for the night I got my second and third and fourth wind. When I stepped off I felt so accomplished and happy :) And that feeling will be one that I remember on a day that I want to skip a workout.
This is the workout I did tonite:
I am off to go clean, read and sleep :)

| 0-5 (Warm Up) | 4 | 1 |
| 5-10 | 6 | 5 |
| 10-15 | Reverse! 12 | 4 |
| 15-20 | 12 | 4 |
| 20-25 | 8 | 7 |
| 25-30 | Reverse! 14 | 5 |
| 30-35 | 14 | 6 |
| 35-40 | 9 | 8 |
| 40-45 | 6 | 9 |
| 45-50 | 7 | 7 |
| 50-55 | Reverse! 13 | 4 |
| 55-60 (Cool Down) | 6 | 4 |

off to see the wizard...
or the gym gods...I'm feeling back to myself (minus a stuffy nose off and on) so that means I'm also off to work out.
I need to get into the habbit of doing this and the only way to get there is to start now :)
The downside of this? We got our first snow yesterday :( BOO I thought we were doing so good Montana? What the heck??
Anyways I'm off, hope you are having a great sunday

A Few Of My Favorite Things
Today is my day to clean, clean, clean and do a little bit of cooking too :)
While I was cleaning I remembered why I love Mrs. Meyers Clean Day products. I worked at World Market for a summer when I was home from college and first was introduced to this line there. I LOVE the lavendar scent. It makes me happy to clean.
The other cleaner I like to use is Method Wood For Good wipes. They also smell good and make my furniture look great.
Right now my iPhone is being updated... and taking forever... and people keep texting me and interrupting it. It has to start all over again. So while I'm waiting for it I thought I would look at some new cases for it. I love the one it's wearing but I like to switch it every so often. The one that it is in right now is from Tech Candy. When I was in Red Lodge this summer, a friend and I found the cases at a little shop. I have the Bordeaux Case and I love it. Grey just makes my heart happy so I usually keep it in that one, but once in a while I'll change it to orange too :)
In about 5 minutes here I am going to start cooking dinner. I came across a Lemon Chicken recipe on Pinterest (love love love Pinterest). It looks amazing and we have a bunch of lemons that need to be used up.
These past couple days I've been pretty good about working out, and I love how good I've been feeling when I get done. This morning I did this workout (also found on Pinterest but was without a source).
By the end I was ready to go home and have a nice big glass of cold water. I think I will do this one other day this week too. I have been getting in the habit of writing out a workout schedule, it makes it a lot easier to go and do it. I am the queen of excuses when it comes to making it to the gym. But I need to change my habits and lifestyle so I have been MAKING myself go. Eating healthy is the other part of it. I do pretty well when I have a plan but when I'm on the go and didn't prepare something I turn to junk. I feel so much better, and my skin, Holy Cow! my skin. It has cleared up so much. I am so happy about that. I have been drinking way more water and been taking these multi-vitamins from Complete Nutrition.They are super good about sending out cupons and stuff in the mail so I can keep it pretty cost effective and still make sure I am getting the vitamins I need.
I also take the Vita-Clear vitamins from Pro-Active (another life saver).
I really like seeing a change (and feeling one too) when I start taking care of myself. Its such a great feeling. Well I'm off to cook, then to church. :)
{PS None of the companies or products were sponsored nor was I paid anything to write about any of it- I just like the stuff}
