Thank Goodness My Dog Is Cute

Yawn
Well, last night Jason had the Super Bowl on of course. I really could care less other than knowing football is really and truly over with for the season. I do enjoy catching the Puppy Bowl and occasionally the halftime show.

I did watch the halftime show... I just don't even know what to say about that. I think what was so off-putting was how blatant the lip-syncing was. But, it's just a show I suppose. At least there were no wardrobe malfunctions ;-)

I hit the sack by 9pm and thought I was in for a great night's sleep. Maddie had other plans though. Even downstairs, she can manage to wake us up. She started barking her head off, the "I've gotta to potty right now!" bark. So Jason got up and let her out.

Honestly, I have no idea what time this all started. I think it was around midnights. No less than 30 minutes later, she started up again. This pretty much went on most of the night or morning I should say.
Not a clue what her problem was. Well, she's spoiled that's what it boils down to. She had to poop but wouldn't pee. Then she realize she really had to pee. Then her water wasn't fresh enough. Then she had to potty again. It's a really good thing she's cute! Needless to say, I feel like a zombie today and it's not from some super fantastic Super Bowl party either.

Working Out and Physical Therapy 
Let's just say that lack of sleep left me a bit unenthusiastic about working out today. But, I got myself motivated enough for spin. I knew it'd be a good class. I also knew I'd feel tons better after going. It's just that whole getting going thing that was my problem today.

And of course once I got my workout clothes and changed my mindset, I was good to go. Spin isn't a walk in the park kind of workout, but sometimes those tough workouts really are what you need. You have to focus on the workout not anything else. Plus, a lot of laughter ends up happening when everyone is working hard. I think it's some sort of coping mechanism. Have you ever noticed that during a tough class?

I have physical therapy after work, so I won't be getting home until much later than I'm used to. Also, we're having to start the projects we put off over the weekend. So, dinner is going to be leftovers. I know you probably don't believe me as I almost never do leftovers. But today it's out of necessity and I'm going to take advantage of the fact that we do, indeed, have leftovers to use up.

I'm hoping the physical therapist can give me some additional advice for rehabbing my foot. Something more useful than what the doctor gave me.

Daily To-Enjoy List:

  • Sunshine
  • Spin class
  • Leftovers

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...
