Random Tuesday...

It's Biggest Loser night!!! I love Tuesdays when this is on.. it's one of my all time favorite shows!! Tonight, I was able to meet my friend up at the gym again after work for a great workout. Working with a partner has definitely upped my game. I think I push harder because she's pushing harder and we both just grin and bear it! We both complained at work today that the ab workout we did on Sunday finally caught up with us today!!! But we did it again anyway.. and it's gonna hurt worse tomorrow, but that's what we need! Just a couple of old ladies who want to be hot mama's for the hubbies again, and we WILL be!!!!

Last time I mentioned my obsession with a certain show called Days of Our Lives... it's been a show that I've literally watched since I was in the 5th grade. I've pretty much grown up in Salem. A few years ago, one of the stars of Days became the host of Biggest Loser... and my obsession with both shows has been affirmed! Ali Sweeney is the cutest, and most lovable person on TV today! I love her on both shows and I even love her on Twitter... but not in an obsessive stalker kind of way, I don't live in LA, so I never see her or anything, only on tv and in cyberspace. But I would say she's one of my favorite stars out there. She recently wrote a book that I haven't gotten my hands on yet, but I think I might look for. It's called The Mommy Diet and it's written for everyone whether you're pregnant, recently had a baby or your baby is 35!!! She says there are things in there for everyone, so I may have to look at it soon. That may put my obsession over the edge, but I'm sure I'm not alone, she's just so darn likeable!!!

I'm eating better all the time, which I need to do if I want to lose the last 25 pounds I need to lose and keep them off forever! So, I've started eating yogurt again.. might I just say that Yoplait Light has the most wonderful flavors out there!!! Holy cow, who knew you could have yogurt that was good for you and tasted like cake and pie??? I love each of them that I have tried.. they are genius!!!! Makes eating right so much easier.. but I'm still not perfect! I eat at Subway pretty much every day for lunch (turkey, turkey/ham, chicken teryaki, love them all!!!) because I can make good decisions easily, a low-fat sub on whole wheat bread, apple slices and iced tea... delicious, filling and super nutritious!!! Now if I can just get over my sweet tooth... yeah right, that's not going to happen!!! On the upside.. I haven't had a Cadbury cream egg yet this year... yet.

So I haven't been knitting. At all. I'm a super slacker. I have a baby blanket that's almost complete (since June), a sweater that's about 1/3 done (since February), a sock that's less than 1/2 done (since??), another sock that was supposed to be a Christmas present about 1/4 done (sorry!), and have two co-workers that are pregnant and due this spring. Slacker. Total slacker! I am going to have to look for a quick and easy knit for each of them.. thinking blankets or hats and booties... or bibs... Typical, I have ideas, but no time to finish them! Maybe I'll just buy something... we'll see.

Wow... I didn't really realize how random my thoughts were until I put them down here, but it's ok. I ran 1.5 miles tonight... which is more than I've done in a couple months, so I think I'll be ready to start training for the 10k in a couple weeks. The training plans I've been reading online are usually 8 weeks, so that would have me start at the beginning of February.. as long as I can run 2 miles by then!!! What am I thinking.. this is going to be hard!!! But I'm motivated, both by my own goals and by watching this amazing Biggest Loser show.. I want to be an inspiration and I hope that I'm starting on that journey. I don't have 150 pounds to lose, but my journey is no less important or difficult. I'll get there.. or die trying!!!

I need a snack. And I need to put some stuff away in the kitche before it gets late. And I need to pick out a new book to read.. I finally finished Harry Potter!!! Maybe I'll talk about that next time! I'm so random.
