Trying out Blogger App

A pic of scooter with his "scary eyes"!!

what a lil ditty!!!

found this nice little bar at bed, bath & beyond while shopping for closet organization things...it matches our house perfectly and I've been wanting a bar FOREVER!!! G and I had a nice night in on Saturday after getting home from our trip to Houston ~for Nik's Bday!!!~ and put this together!!! I'm super excited to "break it in" tonight when Leann comes over after she gets off work to have a gabfest!!!

My 1st blog via iPhone with blogwriter lite

Just trying this out to see if it works or not!! If it does maybe I'll actually blog a little more often!!!;)

so...talk about it being awhile!!!

well, i haven't blogged in um i don't know..FOREVER!!! sorry bout that...then again i don't think anyone is really reading this so it's not like i'm lettin' anyone down!!! :)

i've had some great workouts lately since i was training for my very FIRST triathlon!!! which i'm proud to say I finished...and did pretty decent i think!! i CAN'T wait to do another one..but I definitely need to train MUCH harder, and apparently learn to swim better!!

i'm excited about my workout scheduled for Wednesday!! Lindy, my trainer, and I will be doing weigh in/measurements..which i'm not super pumped about, but then we are going to do max strength testing...just like back in high school!! I'm excited to see how strong I am!!!

A few weeks ago I did rounds of pull ups by myself!!! granted it was only 3 in a row, but still!! I was SUPER PUMPED!!!

when i get back from Vegas (yippee!!!!) and Galveston (with my Joe Joe :) ) I'll be hitting it HARD!!!

Diet, Strength Training, and Cardio Max!!! Afterall, I think I'll be running a half marathon (if not whole) come late fall so I gotta get movin'...after a little partying that is!!!

well i'll let ya know how i do on my max strength testing!!! :)

South American Workouts Are Muy Bueno!!!

Hola amigos y amigas!! Lo siento por el largo tiempo entre los blogs pero mis ejercicios no han sido consistentes!!!  (Translation: Hello friends!! I'm sorry for the long time between blogs, but my workouts have not been consistent!!) Well, I guess that's not completely true since I have been getting my butt kicked two-three times a week by my trainer Lindy...but as far as doing stuff on my own, I'm still slackin' pretty bad!!! I really miss when I was working out 5-6 days a week...where, or where did that motivation and lack of need for sleep go?!?!? Anyways...I did have some amazing workouts while visiting South America, and participating in a medical mission trip to Lima Peru!!! Not only did my glutes and quads get some amazing toning from the millions of stairs I ran up and down daily...not to mention the 280+ steps we had to walk down and then back up to get to the beach!!!:) but i also had a REALLY GREAT run on Tuesday night with my friend Jake!! We ran down the boardwalk, and down to the area close to the beach (and again back up some crazy stairs!!)...it was great weather and a beautiful sunset that we ran into...plus the area we were in, Miraflores, is a VERY active community...and SO many people were out walking/running/roller blading (apparently it's still pretty cool in SA!!), playing with their dogs, and enjoying the wonderful weather at one of the many parks in the area!! It was great...we ran for almost an hour and only had to stop a lil while climbing back up the stairs, and for just a lil bit after we got to the top...I felt great while running, and after running, and I wasn't even that sore the next day!!! The other amazing workout I got was SURFING in the PACIFIC in SOUTH AMERICA!!!! Wow...I forgot what an AMAZING full body and soul workout surfing can be!!! There was a group of 7 of us..all the rest were newbies...and everyone did great and was able to stand up at some point or another!! It was awesome!!! I was COMPLETELY wiped after that!!! The surf instructors were AWESOME!!! I was pretty sore the next day...granted traveling for 12 hours later that evening/next morning didn't help!! :) So now that I'm back in the states and slept for almost 2.5 days straight I'm ready to start hitting it hard...I gotta find that WORKOUT FIEND again and PRONTO!!!! Wednesday was a good day with Lindy...not too hard, but definitely got my HR up and my core is REALLY sore today!! Looking forward to another good workout tomorrow (technically later today!!) and then meeting with the nutritionist so I can hopefully get back on track with my diet!!! So I'm thinking about doing the Danskin Women's Triathalon in Austin on June 5th..starting this Sunday I would have 9 weeks to train...that's definitely plenty!! Maybe if I go ahead and sign up and pay the money it'll motivate me!! I think I'm gonna do it!! I gotta do something!!! Just need to check and make sure I didn't ask off for that weekend for something else!! Ok..so do ya'll think I should do it?!??! I'll keep ya posted!! Ok i really need to try and catch some sleep!! Buenas Noches!!! Chow!!!

so it's been awhile...

well i guess it's been awhile since i've blogged!! kinda like me...i find something fun and interesting to do and then i don't have time to do it anymore so i slack off!! i guess too, i really wasn't working out too much, although i was probably drinking wine enough, so i guess i could have at least blogged about that!!I am proud to say thought that I have been doing a much better at working out!! I finally got back with a trainer in October and am finally starting to get back into running again, and I'm really looking forward to start training for a tri and some adventure races!!! I had a good run today out at Lick Creek Park, although, I felt pretty out of shape since Bear and Rey kicked my booty, but it still was nice to run again and feel my legs work and my lungs burn!! It was a new experience too to run in the quiet, really listening to my breath...my shuffle is dead, and when I couldn't keep up with the boys anymore it was just me on a narrow, leave covered trail, and I gotta admit...it was nice..peaceful..relaxing!! I am a little frustrated though b/c after my run my stupid hammy started hurting, but i'm going to work on trying to prevent that from getting worse and I'm really looking forward to hot yoga later tonight to get some sweat out and get some good deep stretching in!! So this weeks workout plan looks like this:
Sunday-Lick Creek Park run (check 3.5 miles, 34 minutes)
Monday-Hot Yoga maybe a lil easy 1.5-2 mile run
Tuesday-Train with Lindy plus Cardio
Wednesday-Jillian Michaels
Thursday -rest
Friday- Train with Lindy and Cardio
Saturday-rest and relaxation with BBQ and beer!!

Ok well that's the plan!! should hold up..just gotta get wednesday's workout in!!! I'm trying to revive the Workout Fiend!!! :)
