I've had 4 tough workouts over the last 3 days, so I'm thinking today should be a recovery day as all of my muscles are aching. Sunday I pushed myself with a strength circuit, stairs, and a 10 minute mile. Monday night was boot camp class. Then yesterday I went to the gym before work for 40 minutes of cardio and then went back later that night for a 30 minute treadmill challenge. It was an interval workout involving sprints and upping the incline. All I did was Google "30 minute treadmill workouts" and you'll find a bunch, many for elliptical too if you prefer. I could use a different one every day if I wanted!
Another reason to make today a rest day is: my dad and I are finally painting my bedroom! Nels' stepmom made me a very pretty quilt for Christmas, it's green, brown, and pink. I've been wanting to repaint my room for awhile, so last night we went and bought the paint. I brought my quilt with to Home Depot and matched up the shade of green I want, but I am REALLY nervous about how it's going to turn out. It seems more key lime-toned than olive-toned, which would better match the quilt. We'll see how it turns out I guess...I'll take "before" and "after" pictures and post them on here.
My room hasn't been painted since I was 13 and still has a random assortment of things on the walls and stuff that doesn't quite go together. I'm excited to change it. Since I'll be saying goodbye to my 13-year-old's bedroom, it also seems like the perfect time to post a blog about this project my friend Rachel sent to me - you write a letter to your 12-year-old self. I have actually been thinking of doing something like this for some time, so I'm glad Rachel passed it along and got me moving on it. This project comes from the blog Pink Moss. A woman named Janae has 6 daughters and she put together this project because she feels her 6 daughters are getting mixed messages from society about what is beautiful. I finished my letter but need to dig out some pictures to post with my blog, so look for that later : )
Finally, the most important matter of the day: It's Lucas' 2nd Birthday!!!!!! Lucas is my cat, and he's the best cat ever. I'm so obsessed with this cat it's ridiculous. He is awesome. He's cuddly, he comes when you call his name, he runs and greets you at the door, and he's freaking adorable. He also likes to steal my pillow and sleep on my bed on his back like he's a person. Everyone who meets him loves him, even people who say they don't like cats. Happy Birthday Lukes!
Here he is as a little baby, awwww!
Yup, he sleeps like he's a person:
He sits like a freak sometimes:
Haha, I tried to dress him up on Christmas:
haha cute cat pics!
ReplyDeleteI'd celebrate Tiger's bday but I don't know the exact date, other than it's sometime the last week of October, so we figure it's gotta be around Josh's bday =)
Growing up my dog's was May 1 and when I was little my friend and I would through a bday part for her too! lol...
Awww, yeah we don't know Lucas' real birthday either. My aunt found him near death at her marina, poor little guy! So we just guess.
