Fun Facts Friday - Random Realizations

I don't really have any news to report. I do go see a hematologist next week. Hopefully we can figure out the cause of the clot. Basically more waiting.

Let's just jump right into Fun Facts Friday. I had thought about doing a running survey that many of you guys have been doing. I may do that one later. But working from home and being pretty much home day and night for 2 weeks now, I've had plenty of time to have lots of absolutely random thoughts.

Some of the fun facts are observations, some completely random with no rhyme or reason. Just for fun ;-)

  • I don't have as many pairs of yoga pants as I thought.
  • I've gotten so lazy that I didn't even bother to do hair or makeup for doctor's visit.
  • It's been a week since I've done my hair and it's kind of nice.
  • It's been a week since I've put on "real" clothes.
  • My dogs behave only if I work from the living room. In the kitchen they act like bickering 4-year olds. No, they won't go to living room without me.
 
  • I ate an entire spaghetti squash myself this week, having it for lunch each day topped with peas, tofu, tomatoes, and spicy hummnut (hummus + nutritional yeast).

  • If I didn't eat the spaghetti squash, it was a sweet potato with half a jar of jalapenos and Daiya cheese.

  • I've grown to utterly dislike Paula Deen's laugh/cackle.

  • While I love Giada, she likes her food way too much. No one makes that many noises when they taste their food. MMMM, ooohhh, mmmm, squeal....it's SO good. 

  • Not running, lifting, kickboxing daily means half the laundry. I knew I did a lot of laundry but this was an eye-opener.
  • I did not do holiday cards this year and feel kind of bad about it each time I get one in the mail. But I've been noticing most cards are family pictures. I kind of miss seeing real cards with real signatures.
 Your turn. What's one random thing from this week?

Hump Day and More Pineapples

Full-Body Workout  I'll readily admit that getting up this morning was quite painful and almost didn't happen. I forced myself out of bed though not exactly excited about tackling a full-body Pyramid workout. Sort of daunting at 5 am really. I did the warm up from Shock Cardio Cardio Core Circuit (cardio only premix) then hit the weights. It was a pyramid up only so I increased my starting weight. I topped it all off with the first 2 1/2 drills from the cardio workout. I ran short on time and was basically spent. Squats into Plie Squats Step Ups (seriously hate these especially at 5:30 am) Incline Chest Flyes into Chest Press Pullovers into DB Underhand Rows Step Ups (freaking again) Static Lunges Overhead DB Press into Lateral Raises Deadlifts Kickbacks into Overhead Extensions Hammer Curls into Alternating Curls Calf Raises I am so excited to report that my new cross-trainers and running shoes arrived today. Can't wait to test both of them out. I waited way way way too

Hitting the Gym and Lazy Means Creative Tex-Mex Creation

Sunday, Gym Day Why do vacations and min-vacations go by so quickly? Just doesn't seem quite right. Anyway, we left Branson around 9:30 am to head back home. It was a pretty uneventful drive back, which is usually a good thing. We got home and unpacked, then I headed up to the gym. I started with a 10-minute treadmill run to warm up before hitting the weights for back and light legs then abs. I went with a giant set for back then supersets for legs. GS - 4x8 Underhand barbell rows Pullovers Double-arm rows SS#1 Rear-leg elevated lunges (Bulgarian Split Squats) - 3x8 Calf raises - 3x20 SS#2 - 2x8 Walking lunges Plie squats with low-end pulse Single-leg deadlifts - 2x8 I did some ab exercises, stretched, and called it quits. Lazy = Crazy Dinner I may have made it to the gym and washed a few loads of laundry, but I never made it to the grocery store - lounging in the pool trumped grocery shopping. This meant getting creative with dinner. We had another package
