Hahah... my little guy is white but he does that exact same thing. It kills me! I chase him around the house while he prances around in 'scaredy kitty' mode Too much fun!

Sounds like me. My orange guy prances around like a deer, it's hilarious. The little white one was just lazy .. she got me good this AM though, but I was teasing her. She's fun to torture, she always looks so mad. LOL

[lexagon]

Those are my babies. White/Black = Zero Grace (and she's younger) Orange = Jack Skellington - Yes I named them after Nightmare Before Christmas. Zero was all white when I first got her.

Awwww what cuties!!! Love the names!
I love when they sleep in that little 'tuck' position.

[lexagon]

Well it's official ladies, I registered for my first 5k this year!

http://www.colormerad.com/

I'll be running the Bakersfield race on June 30th 9am. Yes I have someone coming to take pictures. Can't really think of a more fun way to run a 5k.

Now to get on with the running, I'd like to drop a couple minutes off my time before then.

[newbeginning828]

Ohhhh that looks like tons of fun!!!
You're going to have a blast Is that going to be your first 5K?

[lexagon]

Of the year yes. I did one a Valentine's Day one 3 years ago and a Weinie Run (4th of July) 2 years ago (up in the mtns, omg the air) But the first in a while!

[beatha]

Which is funny because really I'm not a big runner. Never used to be my favorite thing.

What a long weekend, that's all I'm going to say. I'm exhausted in every possible way. Didn't get as much exercise in as I had wanted, but I didn't eat super horrible either so it's all good.

Going to try to start NROL4W back up next Monday (23rd). I miss lifting and I have to start at some point. This week is going to be mostly cardio/5K training and of course Ultimate X. Weather is supposed to be amazing this week so I'm hoping for some outside runs.

Work is .... well crazy doesn't even begin to explain it.

Sorry for all the madness life is throwing at you Remember, I'm here for you girl if you ever need to scream, yell, complain, vent, whatever

Yaaay for starting back on NR! Lifting + cardio = stress relief!

Happy Monday Lex!!

Thanks NB, appreciate it.

Gym in general is good for stress usually. And with the way the next couple weeks is looking, I'm going to need it.


I'm going to take a couple more days off before heading to the gym. I wanted to go tonight, but 8 hrs of sleep in 4 days just isn't cutting it. Work is driving me insane. Got started at 8:30 and just sat down at 2p for more than 5 minutes. Pretty sure someone asked me to do something that I'm forgetting too. *sigh* This new job better be less stressful. And I'm frustrated with the way some things are going, but oh well, not gonna argue with management. Not worth it.

[swooshie]

Geez, seems like we're all in crazy work mode....sucks!!

Good luck with your 5K When I was doing organized runs, I just loved the energy and environment! They were always a blast and there's nothing like crossing that finish line...whoohoo!!

[newbeginning828]

Hi Lex!

Hope work isn't kickin your butt too bad today! Sending happy vibes your way

[lexagon]

Work today was decent, only a few minor issues, but mostly drama and some major issues that I can't fix thankfully! Someone else gets to deal with those. Tomorrow is going to be hell though I already know that. It's ok though. Just hope I sleep tonight.

The good news on the work front is that I got the new position I wanted, starts sometime in mid may ... so there's that.
Unfortunately, it comes with a schedule change which means no more Ultimate X, didn't even think about that until I was driving home today. Oh well! Better job = better!

[thehobbes]

Congrats on the promotion Lex! The Ham of Good Blessings is on its way to visit you (kinda like the Ghost of Christmas Past, but less scary, lol.) I hope you're getting your sleep sorted out - did you say 8hrs in 4 days?! Bah!!! Go take a nap NOA!

No more Ultimate X, hey I think you've graduated past that anyways, is there a, dare I say.... ULTIMATE Y?!

Lol, oh I crack myself up sometimes.

[lexagon]

Thanks Amazons! I'm looking forward to it, won't start until the end of May, but that's all good.

Yeah I'm not worried too much. It might actually get me up early in the AM to workout since my schedule is going to change. Not looking forward to BW Matrix (we do that in Ultimate - ugh!)

Since you have been doing all that crazy stuff in Ultimate X - the BW Matrix might not seem as horrible for you. could be a great way to challenge yourself since you'll be timing yourself and wanting to go faster each time.

That is my hope We already do squats, lunges and sometimes jump squats, I should be able to do that no problem.

The funk or whatever seems to be shaking off. Works finally calming down, what a freakin week! Have never been happier that it's Friday! LOL Hoping this weekend brings some relaxing and sleep catch-up!

[lexagon]

One small update for the weekend .... Finally reached my first weight loss goal ... 175!! YAY!

I feel smaller. Things fit better. All is well. Starting Monday I am back on the bandwagon. Watching my food better and getting back to NROL4W, done w/ this hiatus BS I'm an Amazon, I need to lift!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
