30? More like 80.

According my birth certificate I am 30 years old. According to the clicks, grinds, and aches of my joints I'm apparently 80 years old. I was so wore out at work today that all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and nap. Instead I came home and got on our Elliptical for 20 minutes. Whoa momma, what a difference than the one at the gym. It was T-O-U-G-H! I'm happy that I survived the "at home" workout today, and am even happier to give my 80 year-old-feeling body a break....until tomorrow ;)

The Never Ending Sinus Rinse!

Along with the beauty of the Fall here in Maryland comes a vast aray of snot related issues ;) Today I'd like to focus on the Sinus Rinses. I've been trying to do mine definitely once, if not twice a day during this time of year. Last night before bed I decided to do one more before bed in hopes that it would stop the drainage and I'd be able to sleep all night, wrong.

Anywho....little did I know what was capable of coming out of these good old sinuses of mine ;) OH.MY.GOODNESS! Where the heck does it all come from!? Does it ever end!? It's SO gross, but man does it feel good to get it all out of there. Ok, enough booger talk, sorry. I just can't believe that doing these rinses twice a day and still I'm shocked at what's taking up residence near my brain. Ok, done, I promise.

Today's gym routine was a sweaty one. I bought a few shirts like the Under Armour ones, only these are from Target ( a lot cheaper, and boy's size) woo hoo. I must say these things are amazing! I did the Elliptical for 25 minutes, and the bike for 5 minutes, and lifted weights. Time sure does fly working out when you are being entertained by watching "Ellen."

Happy Monday All!

Back in the Game

We had a great Sunday. Started off with our friends coming over and we went kayaking at our community beach, awesome! Then my brother in law calls and says he'd like to put his boat in the water. We have a boat slip and ramp with no boat so we pretty much let anyone who needs to use it do just that. Someone may as well get to, right!? :) So we went out on the boat with him for a few hours too. Got home made dinner, stuffed peppers, and they were great. I find it so therapeutic to cook, but recently I just haven't done enough of it. So that made me very happy. While the peppers cooked, I......drum roll please...........FINALLY GOT TO GO RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was on cloud 9!! I finally got to get out there and get back in the game, and break out the new running shoes! Of course I did choose the record breaking heat/humidity day in Maryland to have my first post foot sprain run. But that didn't stop me at all. I ran for 15 minutes and felt amazing! I wasn't super winded, just mainly dripping with sweat, so I kept it to just 15 minutes today. I am so grateful that my foot is better, I feel good overall, and I'm able to be back in the game! Plus I've had tons on my mind lately, and I missed that lovely endorphin rush from a good workout :)

Positive Thoughts.......

Pack it up

Today we got up and went bike riding for a mile. It was freezing out, but it felt to good to bike! Afterwards we came home to enjoy the new famous "Raspberry Chocolate" coffee that we're addicted to.

Then it came time to take down the Christmas stuff and pack it up until next year. I hate putting the Christmas stuff away :( The house looks so bare without all the Christmas decorations up, and the tree being gone just makes me sad. On the up side it's nice to get the house back in order and back to normal. We've gone through today and dusted, vacuumed, organized the attic, laundry, and cleaned this house top to bottom. Guess I'd better get back to finishing...so close!

Oh and GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!! So happy we nailed the Titans last night! Woo Hoo!!!!
