TICKS!

OMG!  I seemed to have brought home a bunch of ticks from my run!  I found one crawling on my leg and worst of all...I found on crawling on my arm this morning while I was laying in bed!  I didn't drive my car to work today because I was so scared that there were even more ticks sitting in my truck just waiting to suck my blood.

After work, I'm going to have to drive to a car wash and vacuum the crap out of my truck...

Nothing Is More Crippling Than Having Pain in Your Teeth!

OMG.  Don't EVER get your teeth whitened from a dentist office.  I did it when I was 16 and I remember telling myself never again!  I think I just wanted to have them done for my competition.  I missed my workout last night because I was in such pain.  I even took a couple sleeping pills and a hydrocodone.  I am not a pill person at all.  It's hard enough to remember to take my birth control!

Today is National Run Day!  I'm going for a run at Lake of the Woods with Sheena!  I'm excited because it's really nice weather.  Let's hope my teeth stop hurting before the run!  I'll be getting my ab day workout in after the run!  Busy night ahead of me!

My competition suit still hasn't been ordered.  I plan to do that this weekend.  I also plan on officially registering for the show.  I haven't turned in my application yet.

More to blog about later! 

Oh, one more thing, I solved my salad dressing dilemma!  I used a 100 calorie pack of Wholly Guacamole and dipped my salad into it (since I didn't want to attempt to spread guacamole onto my greens) lol.  It is amazing!  Why hasn't this started gaining popularity?

Sorry, guys!

Bada Boom

I'm pretty grumpy this morning.  I didn't go to bed until 11 last night.  I think I'll drink some water with a Crystal Light Energy Packet.  I love the Peach Mango ones! 

Here's what I ate yesterday and my totals:


At 6 AM: 1 packet of Oatfit Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal; 10 oz of Hazelnut Coffee w/ a tbsp of Bailey's Brown Butter Pecan Coffee Creamer.

At 9 AM: 1 Banana; 5.3 oz of Vanilla Greek Yogurt.

At 12 PM: 1 Spicy Chik'n Boca Patty; 85g of Edamame; 1 Multi-Grain English Muffin; 5.3 oz of Vanilla Greek Yogurt.

At 3 PM: 1 Kellogg's Fiber Plus Antioxidant Protein Chewy Bar (Peanut).

At 6 PM:  1 Spicy Chik'n Boca Patty; 1 Multi-Grain English Muffin; 1 tbsp of Tribe Sundried Tomato and Basil Hummus; 2 servings of Egg Whites w/ 1 tbsp of PB2; 2 cups of OrganicGirl Salad (50% Spring Mix/50% Baby Spinach); 2 tbsp of County Market Light French Dressing (more on this below...)

At 9 PM: 1 Kellogg's Fiber Plus Antioxidant Protein Chewy Bar (Mixed Nut); 30g of natural whole almonds.

SALAD DRESSING DILEMMA:
Ok, ok, ok...Dilemma is a bit of a strong word, but whatever!  It's my blog!  =)  I started out with trying a mix of balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil that Clint mixed together.  YUCK!  I don't know if it was just me or the way he mixed it.  It was GROSS.  So, then I look in my fridge and find this 0 calorie, fat free Ginger dressing (280 mg of sodium though!).  I tried a small dip of that, and it was GROSS!  So, the only thing left that I had was a bottle of County Market Light French Dressing, and that was less gross than the others so I went with it.  I just wanted a freakin' salad!  Now, I need to figure out what salad dressings to buy.  Some people on bodybuilding.com suggested lemon juice with pepper.  I don't know...that doesn't sound very good either.

Yesterday I met up with my friend Sheena and we walked her dogs for like an hour. My hammies are still really, really tight. I think I might try to stretch them at lunchtime or something. They are really sore!

IT'S FRIDAY, FINALLY!  I have to make an appearance at my mum's work party tonight.  I also need to get my workout in.  I think I'll go to the gym after work to get it in and then come home to grab a bite to eat, then head out to my mum's party. 

Saturday, I have a 10K in the morning and my friend's wedding.  That's going to be fun carrying around my lunchbag to a wedding.

Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

1.). Awesome TV show back in the 90s. 
2.). Storm had me worried about doing abs with no power. 

Luckily the power never went off, but it would have been kinda cool to do abs by candle light. I wonder if people in the Pre-electricity days did abs in their log cabins by a fireplace...

I really do like doing my abs at home on my yoga mat. The Y has a really small mat area and you almost have to stalk the mats in order to grab a spot. 

I couldn't do my glute exercises because my hammies were sooo tight. Even my butt was tight from those medicine ball lunges I did yesterday. I'll have to add in glutes tomorrow. 

Oh, more to talk about tomorrow, but I ate a salad finally!  So scared of bad salad dressing that I ate my salad by hand and barely dipped it into the dressing I put on the side. 

Sooooo tired.  It's bed time! Can't believe it's Friday tomorrow!  TWO more weeks until we camp!  :)


Measurements Are In!

I forgot to blog that I went over to my mum's house last night and she measured my bust, ribcage, waist, and hips for me.  She made me feel good about the gains I've made with my body.  I love my mum!  So, this weekend, I will be submitting my order for a suit!

I.CAN'T.WAIT!
