Monday Monday... So good to me

Good Evening!

Check in time.

I had a very productive weekend and Monday. Ive worked out three days in a row now and I am feeling pretty darn good. One of the things I have to work hard on is making my workouts less sporadic and so far that's happening.

I also did my weigh in this morning - 170! down two lbs. from last week! And with my workouts going so well that number will continue to fall.

One thing I wanted to mention is that if anyone needs me to give them workouts to do let me know. A few years ago JT found me an awesome 5 day workout on bodybuilding.com and it really works when you stay with it. The hardest things is just that, staying with it. :)

There is a lot going on over the next several weeks. For those of you who don't already know, JT and I are moving back to Texas. There a variety of reasons, mostly the weather, the fact that our house won't sell and finally the fact that JT is still waiting for his SUB license here in Ohio... as a certified and degreed educator, he is a bit frustrated about that to say the least, and honestly, Ohio just isn't what it used to be. Its just not home anymore. The hardest thing will be moving away from family again, but I really think its best for us and we can come up and visit more often (especially when we both have degrees and jobs! lol)

So, the rest of this week and half of next I will be hitting the gym very hard. But then next Wednesday we are getting the Uhaul and loading all of our crap back up and then Thursday we are heading back to Texas. It should take 2-3 days to get there and then we'll unload the uhaul and unpack everything. :) I fly back into Ohio the following Sunday. (I will be staying here while I finish school. I am just too close to switch school again... I only have 4 classes after this semester!) Hopefully Ill be able to get in a few good runs down there. I have to pack light enough to only have a carry-on so I figure ill take a pair of tennies and two pairs of sandals. (it is 75 there... :) : ): ) and of course some workout clothes. My summer clothes will already be there (they are packed in with our stuff.)

So that's the big news. I know it seems like we are changing our minds pretty quickly, but the window is such that we had to make a decision about what we were going to do. And I am happy about the decision - I miss our little house!

Im hoping to be down at least 5 more lbs. by the time we leave. I definitely think its doable.

Alright, I found a great article that I know a lot of you will like!

  1. Good Luck on the move, little lady...

    my big obsession of late is with local organic products. my milk and eggs come from a farm two miles down the road from my house, and I just purchased a whole cow with a buddy of mine from a farm the next town over. We split the meat, which is 100% natural grass fed free range beef, and my freezer is full enough for 6 months worth of grilling. I am starting to buy my chickens from the same farm too. My girlfriend and I are also joining a local co-op, where we get awesome local and organic products for 12% off just for volunteering at the co-op 2 hours a month. local food just tastes better, and is way better for you. Happy cows make better milk and steaks lol...

    good luck, and I am glad you found the Drunken Absurdity blog, keep reading :)

  2. Thanks for stopping by Adam! I was starting to worry because I had expected you to re-activate your facebook by now... So, I wrote SOnya and she suggested checking out your blog (which rocks by the way!) The co-op sounds amazing and holy crap on the beef and chicken! That sounds amazing! I am definitely going to look into that. thanks again for stopping by!
