You gotta love a creative mind!

Friday, October 29, 2010

My work really gets into dressing up for Halloween and today's the day. So far I've seen a pregnant cheerleader (the woman is really pregnant), Adam Lambert and Dora the Explorer. I was planning on wearing my chef's outfit from Cooking Day when my co-worker said "Bring an iron and you can be the Iron Chef!" Genious, right?

We are usually away for Halloween, but this year we're home, so we get to see all the little ones (and big ones) in costume. Can't wait. In between, I found a yummy recipe for a pumpkin soup, so my Sunday is all set.

Happy Halloween weekend all,
Kathy

Hmmm... Iron Chef.... that's a great idea... i might have to use that one! LOL! My mom owns a catering business so the costume would be easy enough to get. Hmmm..... I hope you have a blast today at work. Report Inappropriate Comment

Awesome. That sounds super fun. I have a pirate costume. And, for the record, it felt like a miracle to be able to fit into regular sized adult costumes for once. Anyway, it's my favorite holiday, and I love hearing everyone's ideas. I have zero creativity, so I just observe, absorb, and enjoy what other people do. Have a wonderful weekend!

So I'm going to my niece's party tonight...

Wednesday, October 27, 2010

I love the suggestion from TEALLADY that says "depending on your niece's age, you could get a workout in by playing tag". Made me laugh cause my niece is turning 23...funny. The family already thinks I'm cuckoo for CoCo Puffs! LOL

So I didn't get up early to exercise like I said I was going to knowing that I can't get to Jazzercise today, plus it's raining and will all day, so walking isn't an option. I did leg lifts while blow drying my hair...every little bit counts right?

I watch Survivor on Wednesday nights...one of the few shows I watch anymore. I plan on doing workouts on commercials and that's about it for today. Just going to do my very best.

Happy Hump Day!

HI-LAR-IOUS! I bet you would get a cross-eyed look from your 23 year old niece when you start to chase her! HAHAHAHA! You would for sure be Crazy Aunt! I've been slacking on my work out for 2 days now. Maybe I'll get something in tonight. I have gone for walks but they weren't the work out I planned and they aren't that far, maybe a mile max. I walk a neighbor kindergartner home from the bus stop everyday. Get back on the ball lady! I'm not sure who I'm talking to.... you or myself?!? Report Inappropriate Comment

You will find a way to get that activity done!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Sounds like a plan. I decided to walk at the mall this morning because it was raining too hard. Now I'm sitting here in the food court. Nothing is open yet, but the behind the scenes smells are drifting about. LOL I'll be out of her before the stores open so I won't be tempted to eat anything. Have a great day.

It's pretty bad that I want to skip a family party for a workout, right?

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Imagine the guilt that would be put upon me if I missed my niece's birthday party tomorrow night because my Jazzercise class is at the same time and the two are too far apart distance wise to do both...UGH!

In the worst way I want to send my husband alone to represent our family, but I know that's wrong. Maybe I'll just get up earlier tomorrow morning and workout at home before work so that I get my workout in for the day. Suggestions?

I second what NENATO2 says. Family is important. Maybe, depending on your nieces age you could "use" her for your workout. Start a family game of tag in the yard or Red Light, Green Light. Report Inappropriate Comment

Can't you just turn up later? Or is that pushing the family dynamics too much.? Report Inappropriate Comment

"It's pretty bad that I want to skip a family party for a workout, right?" That depends. At least for me LOL. I don't mind going to my husband's family gatherings, but hate the drama of mine (so I don't go to mine). But in your case, I'd work out at home before work. Sounds like you would really like to go, but you are totally committed to your workouts (which I think is great!). Report Inappropriate Comment

Being prepared

Monday, October 25, 2010

It works...I've done it before so I know. I just need to make it a routine again. Packing my lunch the night before work is a sure fire way to know what I'm going to eat the next day...no last minute running out for fast food or wasting money on eating out.

I still don't lay my clothes out the night before, but I've heard that works for making a smoother morning. I see my daughter doing it and I know it works for her.

What do you do to prepare for the next day?

You all are so prepared! Hopefully soon that will be something I will do too. I think it would be a great way for you or anyone to be ready for the next day by packing the night before. There sure aren't any good options around here to eat on the go. Report Inappropriate Comment

I need to get better at this. I try to pack my lunch for the next day. I also need to prepare my clothes!!!! LOL Report Inappropriate Comment

Packing my lunch, laying out my clothes, packing my vitamins and writing down my plan for day helps me stay on track and makes the mornings go much smoother. Report Inappropriate Comment

Knowing what exercise I will do when I wake up. Laying out my exercise clothes. Packing my lunches before work to keep me on track! THis helps me! Report Inappropriate Comment

Having lunch ready is the best way for me to be prepared. Report Inappropriate Comment
