*phew*
yoga was cancelled so i went to the club with dennis (we already had the babysitter so why not?) first i went on the treadmill for 30 mins (i’m so slow and i’m afraid to let go LOL but i can get up to 3.7 without feeling like i’m going to go flying off. maybe i’ll get used to that thing eventually and get higher up. i just am a slow runner so 4 is too much for me. anyway, after that, i did 50 crunches, 5 push-ups, 40 crunches, 4 push-ups, 30, 3, 20, 2, 10, 1. then i kicked the heavy bags and punched them for a bit. it had been a full hour by then, so i thought, k now i’ll watch the wrestling seminar. nope.
one of the other girls decided she was done with the seminar so the trainer made us do some drills together. man. so we went for another half hour at least doing that. i got hit on the nose when i was holding pads for the trainer to demonstrate. ouch. oh well, as long as my glasses aren’t broken, i survive. he wasn’t going full power, thank goodness.
so, walked monday and wednesday. worked out tuesday and wednesday. not sure when i’ll be able to work out again. i really really want to lose weight 🙁 i’m just not sure if it’s a pipe dream.
sawyer, beau, and i went to our local thrift store. 🙂 sawyer was SO good. i picked a few things for us and scored a Thomas the Tank Engine expansion pack with 2 trains inside and it’s only really missing the road that’s supposed to come with it (for the buses etc.) for $3.50. anyway, i didn’t have enough money on me for all the little cars sawyer had chosen so i asked him to pick only 4. he did that without complaint. i know some kids who would’ve thrown a holy fit b/c he spent all kinds of time going through ALL their cars and choosing a bunch he liked just to be told he couldn’t have most of them. the lady was so impressed that she let him have 2 for free. sometimes he amazes me.
we didn’t get anything for beau. LOL. poor kid. he’s going to get a lot of hand-me-downs in his future. he got a new teething toy and new soothers the other day (he ONLY uses them when he’s sleepy. i swear. he is not allowed to walk around with them.) haha but sawyer got Cars gloves and Cars socks that day. the gloves were $1 and he needs socks. but still…hmmmm…lucky kid! my mom got sawyer a new motorcycle toy so she got beau a plane. at least she’s fair! unlike their mommy! sawyer got new pants and boots when i went shopping and beau got zippo!
lol dennis put sawyer’s pjs on beau just a little while ago. they’re a size 5 and they’re not even THAT loose. what a gigantobaby. and, yes, dennis STILL cannot tell the difference between sawyer and beau’s clothes. he has put beau’s pants on sawyer in the past. lmao. my mom put sawyer’s pjs on beau last week. apparently i am the only one who knows whose are whose (except sawyer-he corrected his Nana.)
2 more sleeps til boot shopping. i’m hoping to get a deal so that MAYBE i can do some jeans shopping. does Target have a good selection of jeans? we’re going over to the States (we don’t have Target here.) we’ll be at a mall though, so i can look around.
anyway, my arms and hands ache.

RYN: Yeah….I’m not making much of an effort with him. Clearly I’m not important to him anymore lol

Have you ever done circuit training? Where you do weights and cardio at the same time? I usually to 2 or 3 different sets of weights, then a minute of cardio, abs and then back to the weights again times three. Then I do it again working out different muscles and cardio. If that makes sense. I like it because you don’t feel like you’re doing constant cardio, but you keep your heart rate up.

It seems like every time I start exercising the least little bit, I get a bigger appetite – so it’s like what’s the point? 😛 The more I exercise, the more I want to eat!

I dont like target’s jeans for women my size 🙁 If you are going to be in a mall, look to see if they have a Torrid!!! It’s a good thing De was with me the other day or I would have so gone hog wild in there!! That is so cool that you are writing about them. You should totally let them know. They would probably LOVE that you are giving them free advertising!

RYN: Seriously, what was their problem?

ryn: I’ve had many a panic attack in my lifetime so i’m sure it’s something else. In fact usually i feel completely emotionally fine when it happens, and as soon as it goes away (seconds later) i’m completely fine again. Luckily though most of my faves noted back that they’ve had that on occasion so i’m not worried. Yay for gym visits and thrift store wins!

ryn: I found it on Ebay and won it 🙂 I told him it’s what I wanted as my engagment ring! Once it comes in I’ll give it to him to give me on a special date like Valentine’s or something hehe

ryn: i figured, and i would’ve chosen academics too. But i remember having a lot of peers in HS that weren’t interested in college or learning at all but around junior/senior year there was this big push for everyone to apply everywhere and it seemed like a a big social “must.” In this case i see a tendency for people to treat college like “high school part two” and turn it into one big social
