week 32
doing well over here...feeling better. I managed to workout three days last week and then I squeezed a good workout in on Sunday and will get three days of working out in this week. I definitely indulged over the holidays.. but nothing too crazy. I don't anticipate any weight gain. I need to do a grocery run today to stock back up on my healthy eating options. Looking forward to reaching new goals in 2013.

week 31
weight 134
Under the weather over here with a sinus headache that has been constant & relentless. The kind that when you bend down to pick something up your head swims and you feel dizzy. I have missed 2 workouts so far and possibly will miss today's workout. Liv is also sick and I had to pick her up early from school.
Uggh.. wouldn't it be nice if we both are better soon? Hoping for a Happy & Healthy Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all of you.

week 30- Brrrrr & vent
am weight 134
since winter is upon us and it was 20 degrees this morning, i am feeling less motivated to workout in the early morning per my usual routine. So I am changing things up and some times working out after work. I am always home by 4pm... so I have time before dinner to workout. I don't know what it is.... but I just feel more sluggish in the am in the winter. I guess it does not matter really, so long as I get my workout in but I liked having it done and out of the way first thing in the morning. On a bright note my first pm workout in six months.. I had so much more energy and such a better workout.. so who knows.. maybe this is a good change. I will keep you posted.
I was in a pissy mood yesterday. I have worked at my job for over 3 years now and not once in 3 years has my birthday been acknowledged. Now I normally would not have a problem with this as I am not one to call attention to myself in my everyday life. Here on the blog... yes... in real life.. not so much. Anyhow my beef is that the office celebrates every ones B-day except mine. Cards are passed around, occasionally cakes are purchased, flowers.. etc... do these people think I hatched out of an egg?
I am not in the office much.. only 2 days per week... so I am sure this has something to do with it... out of sight, out of mind. It's not like they don't know.. our birthdays are displayed in the common mail area and we are a small office.... just 15 Ladies. It's hard not to take that personally and it stings a little. Oh well... my husband & daughter make a big to-do over my birthday and just living another year is a blessing to me. I feel silly even complaining about such a trivial thing.

week 29- will power
weight 134
This has been a long hard week... let me tell you... tis the season for Domestic Violence and I am busier than ever at work. This has probably been the hardest week so far to muster up the will power to work out. My long emotional days at work just make me want to curl up in a ball. It's cold in the morning and it seems to be harder to change into my skimpy w/o duds. I have still been working out each morning, but doing the bare minimum 30 min of cardio, 20 pushups and then I am off to work. As I sit here and type this I am still in my Pj's and the elliptical is calling my name and I better get to it. The longer I put it off the harder it is... especially on my day off.
Just 1 lbs away from my original goal of 133.. I would love to reach that for my birthday next week.

I love my tassimo
I am loving the convenience of my Tassimo single serve beverage brewing system!!! I have no idea why I am so late in the game on these gadgets.. it's just as if I woke one day thinking that I would really like one of those and then spent time researching the difference between the brands and finally watching & bidding. It is a little indulgent... but cheaper than going to star bucks.
It bugs me a tad that the Keurig K cups are everywhere and yet the T discs take a little more work to find. That is one thing the Keurig has going for it, while the Tassimo gets bragging rights to being able to make excellent lattes with the shelf stable milk discs. According to the Tassimo website Target, walmart, lowes, best buy and bed, bath & beyond are the local stores in my area who carry T discs. Walmart had only two types of plain coffee.. but they had the best price, Target had about the same selection, none were available at lowes or best buy, bed, bath & beyond had every online flavor of T disc available . I was able to get a 20% of coupon to use in store. Bed, Bath & Beyond also offers free shipping and I got 20% off my online order. The nearest Bed bath & beyond is not very close.. not as simple as running to the corner store, however it is somewhat near my office so It won't be a problem to run in and stock up. I will prolly continue to shop online since they offer free shipping.
I wish Tassimo sold a sampler pack of coffees so that you can try different flavors before committing to purchase and whole box. I have tried the cappuccino, earl grey hot tea, Peach iced tea, Mastro lorenzo crema and finally my favorite the Chai latte. I am waiting on my order of Gevaila caramel macchiato and French Vanilla coffee to arrive. The Iced tea was $7.99 for a box of 16 discs.. so 50 cents each. The lattes are more like $1.00 each.
I figured if I did not like the Machine I would re-sell it on ebay... but it's a keeper.
