Happy Sunday!
I took yesterday as a rest day. I was with mom most of the day.
Today was a 12 mile run. I worked in the yard for part of the day and then did my Federal taxes. I still have to work on my state taxes but I usually have to pay so I'm in no hurry.
Alisha ~ Hope you had a good weekend!
Tricia ~ Hope you made it through the storm ok.

Jane- Good job on your run!
Tricia- How are you? Is the storm too bad?
I took yesterday as a rest day. I think I will go for a hike this afternoon. I have to work on the wall paper and get Mt. Saint Laundry put away.

Happy Monday ladies!
We made it - barely. It was terrible! Friday, we got off work at 1 p.m. We were fine until about 7:30 pm when the power started flicking off and then on again. We thought we might make it, but around 9:30, the power went out for good. The wind was awful. We got no sleep all night. The pups were up and out every hour. Stephen had to go outside in the wind and snow at least twice to find Peanut who was lost outside. When we got up on Saturday morning - or should I say, when Stephen got up, the temp was at 58 in the house. I finally got up around 8 a.m. and we still didn't have power. We pretty much sat inside and huddled with the pups and kitty most of the day. I crocheted a little in 4 layers of clothes and a blanket, my gloves and a hoodie for most of the day. Stephen went out and shoveled a bit of the 3 feet of snow in the driveway. Took about an hour. Luckily, we have gas, so we were able to run the stove. Stephen manually lit it with a lighter and we had warm miso soup for lunch. Around 5 p.m., he started some fish soup using an oil lamp and the flashlight. We got down to 54 degrees in the house, which was freezing for us! The power finally came back on at 6 p.m. on Saturday night. We were lucky.
Sunday, Stephen got out to dig us out and it took him about 3 hours to do it! Poor baby!
I never want to go through that again! Stephen ordered a propane powered heater yesterday so we'll have heat the next time this happens, but I'm truly hoping we can get through the next couple of years without another blizzard!
He didn't have classes today, but I had to go to work. I barely got out of the driveway! It has been warm and has rained all day, so we got some melt off, but you can't really tell! Some snow fell off the roof and took out the driver's side view mirror off the Prius. Stephen duct taped it until he can get it in the shop to be fixed. The plowing has been awful. Our street wasn't plowed at all until Saturday night and we barely have one lane to get through.
I hate this! I really hope we end up somewhere warmer when Stephen finished school and gets a job! This Southern Girl is not designed for this shit! Yes, I said SHIT!
Love you girls!
On the bright side, I hope to go snowshoe running tomorrow after work if they plowed the parking lot by the bike path!

I did nothing yesterday except drive my Mom around, look at linoleum, mattresses, and grocery shopping. I intended to workout when I got home, but I pooped out. Ttotm week= bleh.
This morning I have to meet with an Ant guy and a siding guy. In the afternoon I have to meet with a linoleum guy.
I went to Denny's yesterday and had the grassfed burger on whole wheat bun with dippable veggies instead of frys. I skipped dinner. I'm trying to avoid commercial food, but I do my best to eat reasonably when I do eat out.
I plan to have a green smoothie for lunch and to roast a chicken for dinner.
I hope that between the morning meetings and the afternoon, that I will have time for a workout. If not, I will workout in the evening.
Tricia-Stephen is an awfully nice guy to go fetch Peanut and shovel snow. Is Stephen one of those guys that generates a lot of body heat? My Dad does. Be sure to eat coconut, it helps you stay warm and toasty. I don't think I've ever lost a part of my car to snow, it makes me think of that All State commercial with 'Mayhem' on the top of the garage snowing in the roof and destroying the car. I love those 'Mayhem' commercials, they crack me up, but only because its not real. If that really happened, I don't think I would be laughing.
I used to think that I wanted to live in a cooler climate, but as I get older, I don't so much. Where I live its hot 3/4 of the year. I'm pretty sure that we have started our spring weather already. I remember when I was about to turn 7 years old, and my Mother asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday ( March 14) and I said that I wanted to go swimming. She said, 'Maybe!'
Jane-Thats a tough looking workout. I scaled to the top of Mt. Saint Laundry and I planted a flag for victory, or something like that.

Alisha - Your day exhausted me with all that running around and your coming day with all those appointments, too! Wow! Who would have energy to workout after all that? Especially during ttom!
Good for you eating reasonably when out! I certainly would have had the fries! We'll be ordering our traditional Indian food for dinner Thursday and Stephen will pick up cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory for me. It's the only time of year I get it! That's a good thing!
Stephen does have high body heat! I envy him that! Will coconut oil do the same thing or should I eat coconut meat?
Yes, I love the Allstate Mayhem commercials too! They are funny! I couldn't believe what happened! Oh, well, it could have been a lot worse! We've been really warm these last couple of days and tomorrow will also be in the 40s. You'd think we'd see some improvement, but there's so much snow, it isn't going anywhere very fast! I wish I could live in a climate like yours! We're the absolute opposite, cool/cold 3/4 of the year and warm barely 1/4! Wrong place for me, but Stephen loves it! Sigh.
I stretched in my sleep last night - well, I woke up and stretched, sort of, and got a white flash before my eyes as my neck screamed with pain! I swear I cracked something. I'm very tender today and am going to take it easy and not workout. I took Advil this morning, but I need more. It's starting to hurt again. I have no idea what happened! I just stretched for crying out loud! I'm just getting old.

I forgot to post yesterday. I wanted to go for a short run but it was rainy and foggy. I will get a couple of miles in tonight. Tomorrow we leave for Myrtle Beach and the half marathon is on Saturday morning.
Tricia ~ Glad you made it through the storm. I don't ever remember our power going out during blizzards in Illinois. It would go out during summer storms but not winter ones. It would be awful but I imagine that food in your frig was not ruined.
I used to love winter when I lived up north but now I am so used the warmth. I would say it is warm here about 3/4 of the time. It is in the 70's now and I had to put the a/c on at work. I like that fact that I don't have to spend money on boots, coats, gloves, etc and I wear lots of my clothes year round so I have more summer stuff than I do winter. It is rare that I buy something for winter.
I hope your neck feels better. I hate when that happens.
Alisha ~ I'm happy to hear that you planted the flag of victory on top of Mount Saint Laundry. Great job on eating out. I rarely eat out and when I do, it's usually a cheat meal or I try to find something healthy.
I won't be around for the next couple of days. You probably won't hear from me until Sunday or Monday. Have a great couple of days.

I did Cathe's 4DS LIS cardio only premix yesterday. Today I will do my belly dancing tape.
This morning the plumber will be here to fix my Mom's toilet leak, my bathtub leak, and Britt's bathtub leak (Britt is my older brother, most people think he is younger.) I also have to co-ordinate with the plumber to come back on Monday to work with my linoleum guys to install the toilets after they have installed the linoleum. So: today leaks; Monday: linoleum, install toilets, put back my washer/dryer. This afternoon I have to drive out to Sierra college (about 45 minutes each direction.) to pick up a copy of our contract. I feel mentally worn out but I'm doing ok all things considered.
Tricia- Either, but I like the coconut oil myself. Its so easy to add to a smoothie or soup. I know what happened: you stretched while cold. I have had that injury. No workouts until its better. I know that sucks, but there is no way around it. Do you have a little hot pad? That might help, but it might not, it depends on how it is feeling. I hope that it gets better soon.
I kind of thought that Stephen might have that body heat thing going on because he likes the cold better. I think its a guy thing. My mother says she married my father because he is a space heater
Jane- Enjoy your race. I love the fog but I worry that I'm not visible enough in it and that I would get hit by a car.

Jane - I probably missed you, but have safe travels and good luck on your race Saturday!
Alisha - Too funny about your mom calling your dad a space heater! I hope everything goes smoothly with the repairs and installations! Glad you got a nice workout in! Time is all that really helps when this happens. Sometimes a good massage will help it too. It depends.
We're supposed to hit 50 tomorrow! I want to get a nice run in! Well, my Week 2 Day 1 Zombie 5K training run anyway! I should be able to do that without any issues.
This week at work is just dragging. 2 more days, then we get a 3 day weekend! It'll be the last one until Memorial Day though. I'm going to enjoy the heck out of it!
Have a great night!
Alisha - I'll see you tomorrow!

Tricia- 50 degrees is doable for runs. Today (I wish I could blow it your way!) its going to be 68 deg.
I didnt' get my belly dancing last night. What I got was a killer left earache inside the ear. It was completely swollen and inflammed. I took a decongestant, ibuprofen, 1 gram of vit. C, and went to bed. Bleh. I feel better now. I will do my belly dancing today instead.
The repairs went well. I am happy with our plumber, D'Martel. Dan is a great guy and gave us a really good price. He tested my tub when he was done and there didn't appear to be any further leak. I am hoping to test it myself tomorrow when the caulk is all dry. I expect to fix a chip on my tub, spackle the laundry room, and sand the computer room today. Or. I might take a fun day. We will see how it all plays out. The next thing on the list is which day the linoleum guys come, either tomorrow or Monday. I don't get the weekend off, but I will only have to deal with my own family instead of the hired help. Its easier in some ways and more tricky in others. Professionals: show up on time, don't speak Bear-anese (the home tongue of my family- yes I just made that up, but my family totem is the bear, and we do have a vernacular.) Family: sleeps late, growls a lot, but speaks the local language.
This morning I had the weirdest dream: I dreamt that I was Jim Caviezal's girl friend and that we were on the French Rivera for a vacation, and that he was being real mean to me about having gained a couple of pounds, then he was saying to his employees that he wanted me 'dealt with' which I took to mean that he intended to kill me, so then I being a bit of a fish, I dove in the water and took off, apparently he thought I was going to drown, like a fool he forgot that fat chicks float!! Then, he pretended like he wasn't trying to get me killed and we went on a helicopter ride (this is the part where I would never get on a helicopter with a guy I thought would kill me in real life but, hey, dreams are bizarre, right?) and the helicopter goes down in south America and a group of colombian drug gorrillas shoot it down. So, then I come to find out that Jim had paid them to kill me but I hide on the beach behind some drift wood. Then, there is this other group of militants that snatch me in hopes of getting a ransom, but when I tell them how awful my boyfriend is and that he won't give money for me at all, I persuade them to help fake my death after I transfer my handsome bank account via the internet to their account number. All of this is facilitated by an Australian mercenary who is working for this other group. Needless to say he is hot! But on another note so yea, I spent all night getting in trouble for gaining 3 pounds (not in real life!) and trying to please a jerk of a boyfriend (not real life!) and finding out that if I'm a fat chick I will always float to the top!!!
So. . .. yeah, thats how I roll, over in bed that is. lols.
I'm exhausted from all that swimming.
I plan to do my Tai Chi DVD tomorrow before breakfast.

Alisha - LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!
That is hysterical! Hey, don't knock Jim. I am in love with him. He's one of my 3 that I would stalk if anything ever happened to Stephen. Not that I want anything to happen! He owes me several years of the good life!
Glad all your repairs went well today! I have no idea what my totem is. Have not spent any meditative time to find out. It's on my to-do list though.
Weird how your ear just inflames like that! I'm glad it's better and hope it doesn't flare up any more!
I went snowshoe "running" tonight for the first time. #1 - I need to figure out how to put them on properly. I had each one on differently! lol #2 - It's a lot harder than you think! #3 - The absolute BEST leg workout ever! I could give up everything else and just snowshoe and I'll bet I'd have the sexiest, strongest and most defined legs!
It really had me breathing hard even though I was only running 30 second intervals. I love it!
I'm in my jammies and waiting for Stephen to get home for dinner. I'm late feeding the pets. Simon is the only one complaining, so I guess I should go take care of them. Milo had a seizure today when I came home for lunch. Not too bad and it was the first one in a long time, but I didn't get to eat much so I'm pretty darn hungry myself!
Have a great night Alisha! We actually only hit about 42 degrees today and TOMORROW we will hit 50. I had my days wrong. I think I've just been looking forward to it a lot!

Hey! We're back up!
It's funny how much I miss being able to get here when the system is down!
How are you today Alisha?
I'm just relaxing today. It's a scheduled rest day, so I may or may not do a workout. We have another storm coming through tonight. Hopefully, nowhere near as bad as the last one! Only supposed to drop about 3-6 inches this time. We shall see!
Thinking of you Jane! Hope your race went well today!

I haven't worked out for a week. I am up to my eyeballs in household repairs and ttotm. I am now beyond ttotm, but it takes me a day or two to feel normal. The linoleum guys are coming this morning. Then this afternoon the plumber is coming to install the toilets. My IBS has been acting up, probably because of the stress and lack of exercise. I feel dreadful. I'm trying to combat everything with plenty of healthy veggies/fruits/fats. I had a green drink for breakfast. I'm only eating vegetarian when I'm out and really watching the calories, but I still feel fat. blehhhh. I hope to get a hike this afternoon but I'm not likely to. I want to, its beautiful. I'm ready for my big weight loss to start.
I have a new contract. I will be doing a transition plan for a school district. My Dad underbid the project so that we would get the first one, sort of buying the market. The only thing is: he has put me on jobs before, big ones, where I didn't get paid. Thats part of why I'm so severely in the hole financially. I would be in debt if I lived on my own, but I'm smart, and I don't. They didn't pay me the 35,000 dollars that they owed me. Thats a lot of money and the fact that I didn't get anything to show for it. What a waste of my time. I'm still extremely angry at my Dad because he was the liason for that job. He just is shy about asking for what we are due and lets people walk all over him and subsequently me. I'm really sick of his bs. I am going to do this job because I already committed to it, but after this I don't think I'm going to let him do any of that liason stuff.
Tricia- I hope that Milo is ok. I like Jim too.
Jane- I hope the weather is ok.
I have a new contract. I will be doing a transition plan for a school district. My Dad underbid the project so that we would get the first one, sort of buying the market. The only thing is: he has put me on jobs before, big ones, where I didn't get paid. Thats part of why I'm so severely in the hole financially. I would be in debt if I lived on my own, but I'm smart, and I don't. They didn't pay me the 35,000 dollars that they owed me. Thats a lot of money and the fact that I didn't get anything to show for it. What a waste of my time. I'm still extremely angry at my Dad because he was the liason for that job. He just is shy about asking for what we are due and lets people walk all over him and subsequently me. I'm really sick of his bs.

Happy President's Day!
I am off work today which is nice since I'm trying to play catch up with everything since I was gone for weekend.
First off...had a great time in Myrtle Beach. It was weird and kinda sad being back without dad. The first mini-golf game we played was flooded with memories of dad so it was sort of bittersweet. We had fun though and ended up playing 4 different courses before the weather got yukky on Saturday afternoon.
The 1/2 marathon was on Saturday and I was glad about that. The temperature was in the 40's and sunny so it was perfect. I felt great the entire race until mile 12 and then I was ready for the race to be over. It was a nice relatively flat course and we ran down the main drag and then over to the beach side where people (most elderly folks) came out from the hotels to watch. I ended up finishing just as the first marathoner finished. Is that pathetic? He ran 26.2 miles in the time it took me to run 1/2 that and he was sprinting in and I was merely trying to remain upright. I ended up setting a new PR by a little over a minute which was wonderful. My sister ended up shaving close to 4 minutes off her time. So it was a great race.
Late Saturday afternoon it got really windy, cold and rainy. We shopped for a bit but the weather was horrible. We ended up having a really nice dinner in the hotel where we stayed. We had dessert too and it was fantastic. I ate up a storm while I was there...carb loading for the race and then celebrating so it's back to the normal healthy eating now. Myrtle Beach ended up getting a bit of snow (or maybe a heavy frost) on Sunday morning. We hit a couple of patches of ice on the road but we were heading south so we didn't have too much trouble.
Here is tonight's workout. My legs are still sore but I have to go out there and get some running in.

Alisha ~ I'm sorry to hear that you are stressing a bit. You need to get your exercise in. It's very important for stress relief so step away for a moment and get some 30 minutes of Alisha time. Hope you feel better amd {{{hugs}}} with everything else going on.
Tricia ~ I hope you got your running in and that you are enjoying your day off. I've been doing stuff around the house which isn't really relaxing but I kinda did that all weekend.

I imagine that today will also be a rest day. But, make no mistake what is rest and what is rest do not really equate because I am so sore from painting, going up and down ladders, hauling trash, that I can barely lift my arms. Now I know why guys who work construction are so strong!
I hope to be back at my workouts tomorrow. But, probably not. I may need a rest day from all my rest days! I wish I got Alisha time, what I get is work from 7 am to bedtime.

Its all done! The appraiser has been and gone. We got almost everything done. The only thing left is a window/siding that has been ordered already. I will definitely be exercising tomorrow, I feel dreadful without it.

Sheesh! Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday, I posted and chatted!
Alisha - What a mess! Glad you are just about done with all the contractors and stuff! Hope you get some you time soon! Jane is right, you need to get something in everyday just to relieve the stress! That sucks that you do so much work and don't get paid for it! Why don't you work the contacts yourself? It just doesn't seem right!
Jane - Great job on your half! Your sister too! 4 minutes is awesome! I know, some of those marathoners are so fast! I can't imagine how they do it! Glad you had fun down there!
I have been working out all this time and eating pretty darn well! Today is the first day I didn't workout this week. I was exhausted all day. Not sure why. I went to the grocery after work. Ended up extremely windy and as I run on the water, I didn't want to try feeling so lackluster. The woman in front of me had to keep taking items off her bill. When I finished unloading my buggy (I didn't have much) and notice, I asked the cashier how much she was short. It was only 91 cents! You'd think they could cover that! I did. I had a dollar left in my wallet and I gave it to the cashier. If I'd had more cash, I would have given it to her. I don't have much to spare, but it just seem wrong. She was so grateful. I knew I was reddening and I kept telling her not to worry about it and she was welcome. I mean, it was only a dollar! I know what it's like to have to count your pennies like that.
Tomorrow and Friday I'll run. The weekend is going to be crappy again. Guess what? More snow! Really? I keep telling myself only two more winters, but we could end up in the midwest somewhere where winters are worse than they are here! Oh, man, Universe, don't let it be so!
Take care you two!
