as Krupa says "Puke Puke Puke"
My friend Emily sent me a link today which led to sadness for this kid. It has been discovered that my boss as a blog with the SAME NAME AS MINE. Unthinkable. Unbelievable. Wrong, just wrong.

Case of the Mondays.... everyday. :)
So I have written in a while because I have nothing good to write about. I have been a little down and just lazy lately so I dont have anything entertaining or worthwhile for you!
I have enjoyed watching the Olympics and and I love hearing the stories from you guys in Vancouver! I wish I could be an athlete at that level! Can you imagine?
Like I said I dont have much to say. I guess I will keep you posted if anything exciting comes along.
Love yall!

Book Club
I got invited to join a ladies book group and I am very excited! When I was coaching for TEAM in Training I met one of the campaign managers, Maggie. Maggie is calm, cool and collective and I like her a lot :) As one of her goals for 2010 she decided to start a book club with a small group of friends. Her sister has been part of a book club for 10 years and now she wanted to have that close knit group of reading women as well! So we met for the first time at a cute coffee shop over the weekend to decide on schedules, places and of course, books! I was nervous because a) this was out of my comfort zone 2) I would be forced to actually read at least 1 book a month 3) I only knew one person and don't know her very well. It was a great first meeting and I am really excited. I like all the ladies and they are all beautiful, smart and athletic! I have to pick a book today (paperback because it is cheaper) because I am the second person to host and I have know idea what to choose. I was originally going to pick Elizabeth Gilbert's new book, Committed, because I am reading it anyway but it is still hardback. Any ideas?-- Laurie I know you could give me a couple of suggestions!
I just had Fage Greek yogurt with chocolate granola in it for breakfast and it was yummy! I have been trying different Greek yogurts and this one is my favorite. The only thing I dont like are that the portion sizes are huge! My tummy has trouble with that much yogurt! hahaha
Ok I better get back to work. Have fun!

Epidurals for lunch anyone?
I got my second epidural injection shot today at lunch and then went back to work! Hopefully this one will work. If not I am giving up on sports! Bah! But I have decided that if this thing doesnt get better in the next month I am still going to go to the IM and probably swim, get through the bike and then walk the damn marathon. It sounds horrible and I dont know if I will even make the cut off time but I am determined to do this thing.... even of it kills me. :)
I seem to have a lot of time on my hands lately because I am just working out and not training and also because ... well you know why. Anyway, does anyone have suggestions on new hobbies I should try? I am going to my first book club meeting next weekend and I am VERY excited. I am also thinking about getting a part time job at one of our local gyms just for fun and a little extra cash!
I am leaving work soon to make dinner! Laurie I want to try your sweet potato recipe! Yum. Tonight I will be heating up some left over grilled chicken, steaming veggies and making some healthy sweet potato fries. And since I have been eating my feelings lately after getting my appetite back I will probably have some form of dessert! I may try a punkin desert that I found on Kellys blog!
PS: It is 65 degrees and sunny today.... LOVE IT

Here I am 2010
Wow it has been a while. I dont even know where to start.
I have started out the New Year with a bang. I have been to more funerals in the past 6 months than my entire life and I have one more to add to the list. I am going to one of my aunts funerals tomorrow in Waco. She had a long and strong battle with cancer and is now pain free and living the life with her parents! I am also entering 2010 as a single lady which is actually very sad but I think needed. This may come as a shock to some and I am not sure what will happen but am taking it day by day right now. I got my first epirdual steroid injection last week and I think I may need another one because it didnt help much. I have a bulge in L4 and a herniated disk in L5, along with some genetic stuff that they rarely see in someone my age. Thanks Dad for passing this on. So I am dealing with this back and glute issue and am trying to decide if I should give up on the Ironman training now or if I should wait a couple of months. Right now I am just doing enough exercise to get by but I already feel too far behind to ever catch up by June. We shall see.
I would list out some New Years Resolutions but one of my resolutions was to not make any. I think it is a great idea but at the same time I dont want to limit myself and who am I kidding... I usually forget about them after a month or so anyway. I have some goals this year and some things that I need to work on but that should be a constant and shouldnt start at the begginning of the year. I guess the good thing about the new year is that it makes me re-evauluate things and figure out where I am at.
In looking at myself and my situation lately I have much self improving to work on and a couple of things that need more focus in my life.
- I need to get serious about saving money and need to actually follow the budget
- With the budget thing said I need to stop beating myself up about not owning a house. I will get there someday.
- I need to also stop beating myself up about my looming birthday and the fact that I am almost 29 and no where that I thought I would be. I feel so behind and I often compare myself to all of you guys and I feel very behind on the boyfriend/marriage/baby/career/house train. I have a good life and I have many things to be thankful for but come on! It is time for me to stop wishing and do it....
- I need to figure out my priorities and what makes me happy.
- Finding a career that I love would be nice but that will come in steps.
- Get healthy and learn to be lazy more often
- Update my blog more and post my recipes and adventures since I am now obsessed with trying new recipes and stalking peoples blogs.
Ok well I ended up kind of writing resolutions anyway! hahaha. That was a lot to handle.
Love yall
