Another One Bites the Dust....

WOW!!!!!!! I need to vent!! Remember that little update I added to yesterday's post? The one about being asked out at work? Well, that is over before it even began.

So, here it is loyal blog readers (those of you that are married to a nice guy should be really grateful right now!)...I am continuing to document the trail of losers that I affiliate myself with...

So, "M" messaged me at work...we chatted a little about life and family, etc. Then he asked if I would be interested in seeing him outside of work sometime. I said sure. He got my number and gave me his number. Then he said "Hit me up around 8PM tonight". I said you call me, I do not call guys I dont know that well.

He said okay and right then my phone rang...he said he wanted to get the number into his phone. Then I left work...went to the gym and worked out...went home...showered....and the call never came!!!

What the heck is up with that?!?!??!?!?! Men are stupid!!!! So I have been at work for over an hour....he is on the messaging system so he is here...not a word or message about why he did not call.....again....men are stupid!!!!!!!!! So, is over before it even began! I am a HUGE stickler on doing what you say and saying what you mean so at least I know that this guy has no shot at working out in the future....just a little sad......:-(

BUT.....on to happier things!!!!!! I lost another 3.6 pouinds this week!!! YIPPEE!! It is sooo awesome to see the scale plummeting after all this disciplined exercise!

I will actually take today off for exercise as I am meeting Sherry for dinner (salad) before homegroup tonight....but only today!!!

This is Thursday's workout on the elliptical (60 min).....




And then finished it off with treadmill walk/jog (30 min)...

TGIF Ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy weekend to everyone!!!

Random Eleven

OKAY!!! Actually I am pretty psyched to have gotten tagged by Becca from Everyday Life for this little game!!! I feel like lately I have not had anything exciting or fun on my blog so this is awesome!!! Thanks again Becca!!!! Plus, as you will all see toward the end and on your blogs, (HA) it becomes interactive too!!!!

So here go the five things I have to do to play along...

Post these rules. CHECK!!!!!!!

1. You must post 11 random things about yourself. 2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post. 3. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer. 4. Go to their blog and tell them that you've tagged them. 5. No stuff in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you are reading this." Legitimately tag 11 people!!

So here we go..........

#1. Eleven random things about myself:
I love Kidrock and his music more than anything!!! Even his raunchy years!!

I am obsessed with dill pickles...I could eat them all day long (they are 15 calories each - that helps)

I love my job - seriously!!!

I do not drink any alcohol.

I quit smoking three years ago - best thing I ever did!!!

I have three cats - if given the opportunity it is possible for me to someday be the "crazy cat lady" with 100 cats - HA!

I just recently started mani and pedis and now I can't stop...LOVE them!

I cannot go a day without Super Bubble sugerfree gum

I love to exercise - seriously!!!

I am single and looking for a man.

I was married back in 1995 for about 6 months-not happily as you can tell by the 6 months part - HA!!!

#2:My answers to Becca's questions:
1. If you had only 24 hours to live, what would you do? Skype all my family members (parents, sisters and brother, nieces and nephews)- no one lives in my state - and tell them all how much they mean to me and that, if possible, I will keep them safe from my vantage point in heaven!!! Also, tell them all to remember how short life is and make sure they do not waste one minute being unhappy or doing something that does not give them joy in some way! And then go eat a huge unhealty meal - sausage biscuits and gravy included and probably jump from a plane cause if your parachute did not open then what is the difference at that point right?!?!
2. What is one song that discribes your life? "Never Been to Me" - Charlene
3. Are you good at making new friends? I think so...little shy at first but not for long!
4. Where did you grow up? Pittsburgh, PA suburbs
5. What is the silliest prank you ever played on someone? We called my parents one night at the beach when they were staying at a hotel and told them we were security and the needed to move their car as they were parked in a handicapped spot...it was great when they actually went out to move their car - we (my sisters and brother and I) all died laughing.
6. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be and how long would it take you to spend the $10,000? Best Buy - not long at all...I LOVE new electronics and gadgets!!!!
7. Do you exercise regularly? Everyday!!! Lately, at least! HA!
8. Who would you want to play you in the movie about your life? Jennifer Aniston - why ot shoot big right?!?!? I love her!
9. Who is your celebrity crush male/female? Kidrock - Bobbie Ritchie!!! Met him briefly, love him always, someday he will realize we are meant to be!!!! SERIOUSLY!!! :-)
10. Do you exercise? Yes, regularly....this is a gimme after the one two above....LOL!
11. What is the weirdest thing you will ever admit to having done in the past? Stalking an ex - still embarrasing to think I acted like that at all!!! Especially now with self-confidence I would have said good riddence!!!!

#3 Now my questions for the people I tagged below to answer (if they choose to play along)

1. What states have you lived in?

2. What is your favorite "sweet treat"?

3. What would you NEVER do again if given the opportunity?

4. Do you have a pet?

5. What is your biggest pet peeve?

6. What is your nickname and why?

7. What do you love?

8. What has been your biggest joy so far in life?

9. What is your favorite after work activity?

10. What would you do if you only had 24 hours to live? (sorry Becca stealing one of yours cause I love it!)

11.Do you have any regrets in your life and what?

And finally now for #4 and #5

Wednesday workout

Again, nothing exciting to report...

Couple of exciting men lingering around so MAYBE sometime soon I will have something to report... SEE BELOW...

Here are my awesome new spinning shoes from my sister for Christmas.....LOVE THEM!!!!


And here is the counter after class tonight...I had to switch things up a little as the elliptical/jogging every night got old. I just dont usually like to spin during the week as the class times are late and by the time I get home to eat I am starved. I did not get home last night until 7PM and still had to eat (I was STARVING!!)

Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Something new to report...WOO HOO!!!! I just got asked out by "M" at work!!! So excited however, I am a big work is work person and home is home person so I have to make sure this is kept between us at work!!! Still, sooooooo psyched! :-)

Food Choices

So lately with my new workout regimine (everyday religiously) I have been making far better food choices and dropping pounds.

I also joined in with BlessedMama on using the MyFitnessPal website and I love it!!! I am logging all exercise and food everyday and it is free and sooooooooo easy and I have YET to try to enter a food that is not in their database...LOVE IT!

I am so obsessed about what goes in my body now that I have usually a banana and greek yogurt for breakfast...soup for lunch...and then usually either tuna steak or some of these babies for dinner...Large Prawns!!! YUMMYYYYYYY!

I have been grilling them under the broiler and they are amazing and sooooo low calorie! They are tiger prawns and I get mine frozen at Costco in a huge bag....so delish!


Here is Tuesday's workout-part 1 - best calorie burn yet on the elliptical for 1 hour.....

Then my jog/walk for 1/2 hour...not so great but I was BEAT! Hopefully today I can make spin class to change things up a little...

Happy Hump Day to all!

Boring Workout...Misc Life

My psycho neighbor is at it again...
Seriously?!?!?!?
I am so sick of these people that sit around all day doing nothing (except sucking up disability money) and bother other people! I have TWO of them, count it TWO of them, in my condo building alone!!!!!!!!! Amazing - get a life and a job PLEASE!!!
I am convinced that God is trying to teach me patience.....WOWSA~~~Grant me serenity!!!!!!

Here is my workout from Monday night...woo hoo~~~

Same as usual...I am just proud of myself for sticking to it and going EVERYDAY!

Here is the 30 min walk/jog...


And here is the 60 minutes elliptical....little boring but I did not quit!!!!!!!!!!




Happy Tuesday all!!!!!!

I seriously need to start saving for a house...in the country....faaaaaarrrrr away from other humans - HA!!!!!!!!!!! ASAP!

The sad, lost water bottle

I got nothing today - HA!!

It is my first day back in the office since being sick and going ot training in Tempe, AZ.

It is a sad day...

just kidding...

I am grateful and happy to have a job that I love!!!!!

I lost 1.2 pounds this week which is great since I spent the week with an unlimited buffet at training - apparently I did really well just as I thought I did...

Anyway....I will show you my workout from yesterday since that is all I have....

This was my elliptical...best calorie burn yet!!!!!!



And then a little 30 minutes walk/jog on the treadmill....



In the locker room at LA Fitness I saw this....an adandoned water bottle from my nieces alma mater in the lost/found....I think this is a crime if you go to Villanova...what a shame!!!!!!!! I would have stolen it for her (is it stealing if you take it from the lost and found or is it "finders keepers, losers weapers) if I thought for one second she would use it...there is no way she would TOUCH someone elses water bottle even if I disinfected it - HA!!!

Hope you all have an amazing Monday!!!!!!!!

Back to the Arctic

I'mmmmmmmmmmm back!

This is a photo out of my plane window before take off from Phoenix...it was about 70 degrees and sooo pretty!!!



And this was my awesome seat on the return flight...woo hoo empty seat between me and my seat partner...awesome room to stretch out....when I got back to Pgh it was 16 degrees and snowing....ICKY!!!!

This is my Saturday morning workout...fun of the elliptical...

And they gave me this after my workout at the gym....love a free Red Bull....

Never noticed this until today but the pull tab on a Reb Bull has a bull cut out of it....soooooooooooooooo cute!

And this is the second part of my workout...little walk/jog on the treadmill....

Here one of my three loves of my life....

Will the day ever come that a nice, sweet, funny, attentive, caring guy comes around....why is that too much to ask for?!??!? Just once, I would love to be taken of by someone for a change!

I emalied Markie and it was clarified by no response that there is NOTHING there...I was fooling myself and my ego thinking he would email or call right away professing his feelings, but, that did not happen - HA!

Most of the time I enjoy being responsible, self-sufficient and on my own but WOW - then there are days that I just wish there was someone special that cared about me...hopefully....someday my prince will come...until then I will kep working on me.

Happy weekend all!
