Someone needs to kick my butt in gear!!
General November 17th, 2008I was supposed to go to the gym this morning. What happened? Well, for one, I went to bed late. Two, I didn’t sleep well b/c I was sleeping in a friggin’ igloo (not really, but that’s what it felt like). Okay, okay, I know I’m going to hear it from all you northerners, but IT WAS COLD!! I found extra blankets for the kids, but we couldn’t find our heavier blanket. So I didn’t sleep well, and when my alarm went off, well…. I was going to get up. I turned it off, but then fell back to sleep and didn’t wake up until hubby’s alarm went off at 6. Oops. So that means I’m going to have to run tonight. Outside. In the dark. (hate that).
SO…. please everyone start yelling at me so I will get up tomorrow!! I HAVE to go tomorrow. I have a training session scheduled for 5:30 so I really don’t have a choice. I think I’m going to sleep in my workout clothes. The worst part about getting out of bed in the cold morning is having to get undressed. This way, I’ll only have to put my shoes and deodorant on.
Anyway, our chick’s movie night chat went well last night. There were 5 of us, I think. Me, tiny2b, bigprof, hungry4achange, and shallweshrink. It was a lot of fun I thought. We are going to try to set a day and time so we can do it every week, so if you would like to be a part of that, post a comment on tiny2b’s page and let her know what is good for you.
I’m on track with my food today (of course it’s 7am, so I shouldn’t be too OFF track). I made my oatbran and blueberries for breakfast and I have some of grabthebull’s chicken taco salad for lunch. She is right. It is SO good.
Feeling good about the day so far. I am on track with my calories even with the packet of cheese crackers I just ate. I believe my Aunt Flo will be here soon (she is about 2 weeks late) and hopefully that will curb these eating binges I get on. For lunch I had some chicken taco salad with lettuce and hot sauce. Dinner will be Perogies with Bacon, Satueed Onion and Sour Cream. I LOVE perogies. They are so good and so simple and can be made into pretty much anything. A lot of times I’ll just make some and slap some salsa on them. Heaven.

Mmm. I like pierogies too. Such a great cold weather food.
It is too friggin cold. I don’t want to go anywhere. I don’t want to exercise. I just want to stay wrapped up in a blanket and keep my hands warm around a cup of chai or coffee.
Thanks for the link to the shrimp enchilda stuff. That is most likely what I am making this week the night that hubby is out of town. Yumm. Sounds so good. and warm.

HIYA! I’m seriously bummed I missed movie night. I had to drive to BFE, and traffic was awful.
SO glad you like to chicken taco salad. I ate it everyday week. I have a bad addiction for it. It is SO good over tortilla chips with shredded cheddar. But I also love it over rice. Or just alone in a bowl.
I was turned on to pierogies when I lived in Cleveland, and I found them for the first time in the grocery store. Now they have them here in NC, and I had a bowl of ‘em on Sunday morning. I never thought about adding anything to them… great idea. Thanks for the link!
For the boots, yeah they don’t have my size either. I asked Zappos to send me an email when they get them in stock. I really love ‘em.
Oh BTW — GET YOUR BUTT OUTTA BED TOMORROW MORNING! tee hee hee.

Ooh, pierogies! Please post your recipe!
The chat was so much fun…but if I’d known then that you needed a kick in the butt, I would’ve done it then.
When it gets really, really cold, I sleep with my bathrobe beside me so it’s warm when I put it on. But that won’t help you. I have no advice for how to get up early to workout in the winter…I can’t stand getting up early when it’s cold out!
Still, having an appointment with your trainer should do the trick.
Hang in there!
Chat with ya later!

DON’T YOU DARE TRY TO SLEEP IN TOMORROW. GET YOUR ASS TO THE GYM. OH, AND RUN, TOO.
How was that?
I am so sad. I am watching Heros with no Tivo, having to watch commercials and unable to pause it when some dufus like my DH or children interrupt me. Sucks to to me tonight : (
