In an effort to make my post titles shorter, I’m only adding the date + title.\u00a0 I had the date + description (breakfast, lunch, dinner) to help me out so if I needed to look back on something I knew exactly when it happened. Then it was date + description + clever title which equaled a crazy long url.\u00a0 Too much!\u00a0 So I’m trying to shorten things up.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m at the point where if it’s the first post of the day I can recognize that pretty much means breakfast and lunch.\u00a0 I still want the date as reference for me because while I’m sharing this all with you, it still is a journey for me and I like being able to see when things occurred. :D Coolio?<\/p>\n

Last night Scott and I watched a really bad episode of 24.\u00a0 I’ve been pretty pleased with 24 so far this season (it is what it is and I realize that, so I don’t have much gripe with the show. I poke fun occasionally but no biggie) but that episode we watched was boring and horrible.\u00a0 Bleh!\u00a0 Sipping on this:<\/p>\n

\"Glass

Glass 1<\/p><\/div>\n

And munching on this:<\/p>\n

\"3

3 for luck <\/p><\/div>\n

Did not occupy me enough.\u00a0 I had another wee splash of white after that glass and called it good.\u00a0 The dark chocolate had cranberries and almonds in it, yum!\u00a0 To take my mind off of 24 we watched some Family Guy.\u00a0 Ahhhh much better.\u00a0 I laughed at all the inappropriateness and felt much more at peace.\u00a0 Then I went to bed at the very wrong time of after 11pm.<\/p>\n

Shame on me!<\/p>\n

My sleep wasn’t so great last night either.\u00a0 Since Rose<\/a> slept well, I think I passed my good sleep vibes over to her but clearly I passed along too much!\u00a0 Yikes!<\/p>\n

I got up before my alarm and that meant I was walking around in my zombie state before 7am.\u00a0 I got Rocks taken care of and hello headlights it was freaking cold outside this morning.\u00a0 Good lord, I was not prepared for that at all!\u00a0 I begrudingly changed into running clothes and headed out for my run.<\/p>\n

Which did not happen and I walked back home sad and frustrated.\u00a0 Three minutes into my run my leg started bothering me and I had to stop.\u00a0 Last night at MT<\/abbr> conditioning class, I was doing some front push kicks and I felt my leg go a little funny.\u00a0 That’s the best way I can describe it.\u00a0 It didn’t hurt or anything, just felt off.\u00a0 I didn’t think much about it till I tried running today and my leg was having none of it. *grumble*<\/p>\n

I walked back home and because I was home earlier than usual, this surprised Rocky and I was welcomed with lots of beans and nubbies.\u00a0 Bean and nubbie dance looks like this.<\/p>\n

\"Starting<\/a>

Starting the bean dance<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Almost<\/a>

Almost full beanage achieved <\/p><\/div>\n

Except today’s dance was while he was on the couch and just woken up so it was like he’d been dipping into something while I was away.\u00a0 In case you do not know what a boxer bean is, I’ll tell you! It’s when the dog gets so happy\/excited they start turning in on themselves trying to touch their nose to their butts.\u00a0 Resembling a kidney bean shape, hence doing “the beans”.\u00a0 Nubbies are just them wagging their nubs like crazy.\u00a0 Other dogs bean too but boxers do it best. ;)\u00a0 And when they are super duper excited, you get the bean dance AND boxer snorts. :cupidarrow:<\/p>\n

Because I was already dressed in workout clothes I called up Jillian and as I was about to say “eff it” she said, “No, Shred it!”.\u00a0 Fine. I’m moving on to Level 2 though because Level 1 is a bit easy.\u00a0 For the record, these are not 20 minute workouts. When I was done my HRM<\/abbr> monitor said 26 minutes and I cut it off at the cooldown because I don’t like her stretches and prefer to do my own. 20 minute lies! Don’t fall for it, but even though it’s more than 20 minutes it’s still a good workout.<\/p>\n

Once stretched and cooled down, I hit the shower.\u00a0 Then I cursed myself for forgetting to make cold oats last night!\u00a0 Doh!\u00a0 I had some coffee.<\/p>\n

\"Blando

Blando <\/p><\/div>\n

While checking email and stuffs.\u00a0 This coffee wasn’t as good as it has been in the past.\u00a0 Perhaps it has a short shelflife?\u00a0 Something because it was only okay.\u00a0 I got Scott up for the day and decided to have some breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"Breakfast<\/a>

Yogurt and granola kicked up!<\/p>\n
