The Amazing Sniffer

I was out at the park walking Boomer this morning and it smelled like honeysuckle and it brought back some great memories. Memories of being young and reading my scratch and sniff books. I love it when you smell something and it brings back awesome memories. Especially those when you were little and didn't have a worry in the world.

My diet right now is AWESOME!!!!! OMG!!! The best part is i'm feeling leaner! Not to mention my cardio sessions have been off the chain! I actually ate a sandwich yesterday...yes bread. The ironic thing is I also got a rice cake with PB. I ONLY get rice cakes on show days and yesterday would have been my show day LOL! I haven't weighed though. I figured as long as i'm sticking to plan it shouldn't matter.

New Diet and New Goals

Hey everyone! I've been reading blogs but just haven't felt or had the time to post. Yesterday was a tough day but we all survived. Thanks again for all you wishes and Elizabeth we had some extraordinary grandparents huh? They made it easy for us to remember them LOL! Memorial Day, Genius! My gma, aunt, mom and I are going to have a vanilla latte on that day from now on because that was gpa's favorite drink :) Did I tell you how organized he was? Man, I wish I had got that from him. Instead I get mine from my dad....it's in the shoe box somewhere. I think I learned some new techniques from him that I will try. It wasn't hard for my aunt to find things that's for sure.

Wednesday I got a new diet!! It's the best diet i've had since being with Tony LOL! It won't last long though so i'll just enjoy it why I can.

I've finally quit looking at pictures of what I want to look like. I mean I need to focus on getting my body to a point where I am healthy and look MY best. I'm really liking the bikini physique right now. You all know how much I change my mind so it may be different tomorrow but check her out...I can look like this only with my body. I have a smaller waist, fuller butt and legs, so when I do get a job and schedule I may be doing a bikini contest in the future? Not in Indy though because they don'thave them. Jodi told me the KY Muscle will so maybe that'll be a goal??

Not So Happy Memorial Day

My grandpa was always doing something in his shed. He was so handy and could do anything. That was up until this February when we found out he had cancer. On a positive he only suffered for a few months, on the negative we will all miss him so much. It hasn't really sank in yet. My grandma said she feels like he will pop through the door any time but she knows he won't. He came into this world on Halloween and he left on Memorial Day.

GRANDPA'S TOOL SHED

Grandpa's tool shed is a special place,
Full of mystery and delight,
Where little kids can come and watch
While Grandpa builds a kite.

Each day before the sunset,
Grandpa is always there,
The sound of his saw and hammer
Filling the evening air.

Grandpa can fix anything
And make it look brand-new-
He fixes toy cars and airplanes,
Trucks and trailers, too.

There are many happy moments
Pleasant to recall,
But Grandpa in his tool shed
Is the nicest one of all.

My grandpa always told me to "Keep your powder dry".

What A Fabulous Weekend!

Friday:

Mom and I had a GREAT time! I think I helped take her mind of off grandpa for a bit. We ate BBQ for lunch and sampled 4 different flavors of fudge. Vanilla caramel, Turtle Pecan, Peanut Butter, and Heath Toffee. The turtle pecan was my favorite because it wasn't as sugary...did I just say that? The weather was perfect and we walked...ALOT!

PICTURES!
Saturday:

Mike and I took Boomer to Brown County for a 3 mile hike. OUCH! My legs are still sore. It was a great workout and afterwards we went and got ice cream :) He got a chocolate ice cream and I got a swirl froyo YUM!

Sunday:

I woke up and it was so nice out that Boomer and I went for a 45 min walk. It was nice to stretch my sore legs. Then I went to Target and I was craving pizza. I bought some flatouts and organic tomato sauce for mine. I also did 45 mins of Lishia Deans amazing fun cardio workout! This was in preparation for the pizza. It was yummy too! I put red onion, tomato, mozarella and a bit of goat cheese on it mmmm...Now all that is out of my system. I'm ready to prep my body for a bikini July 4th weekend.

I skipped my bi/tri workout today. Well I did a few of the exercises but I figure my freaking arms just won't grow so what's the point. Wrong attitude I know but I really just don't care right now.

Side Step Two

I got a call yesterday and they decided to fill the purchasing position from within. Then he said that Micki my interviewer was impressed with me and wondered if I would want to come in an interview for the admin asst position. I thought what the heck! It's the same pay and i'm positive I would do a great job. So this morning i'm out for another interview :) The problem is since I only live in workout clothes and my last job I wore a uniform I have NO clothes! Sure I have all those nice cruise dresses but they're NOT interview material. I went to Von Maur, JCPenney and Macy's last night. HELLO! Do they make anything smaller than a 6P? Everything was huge on me...which makes me happy ;) I'm a freak and I don't like wearing girly suits so I have a wrap dress that i'll throw on. I HATE the color of it though. I just need to flash my cheesy smile and show them i'm right for the job.
-----------------------------------
Jodi I think it's almond butter and some sort of jam. Unfortunately it's not mine. I stole it from photobucket. I couldn't tell you the last time i've had bread mmmmm...nice soft warm bread with apple butter. Better yet make those fried biscuits with apple butter. Did I ever tell you I had that at my wedding? HA!

Mom and I are going HERE today!! We went last year too and had a blast. YES there will be fudge sample tasting :)

PWO Meal

What does everyone consume post workout? I usually have my Met-rx shake or just a whey shake. I LOVE Met-rx!!! However, until I have a good income again I just can't justify it. Not to mention I don't know what half of that crap is i'm putting into my body. It does taste good though HA!

Step Two Complete

I went for my interview today. There were about 6 others I saw come and go while I was there. Keep your fingers crossed for me! I actually think I would like this job. My last job I managed over 1000 components and this would be a job buying frozen food HA! How awesome would that be? It seems MUCH easier and less stressful than my last job. Like i've said though...if it was meant to be it will be. I'll find out Friday if they need me back for a 2nd interview.

---------------------------------------

Gramps is home! My aunts and uncles were going to put him in a home for the next 2 weeks so he could gain some strength. Then they decided to just go ahead and take him home and let him live his life there. Grandma isn't capable of doing everything for him but as long as we can all schedule times to make sure he gets his meds etc...she'll be okay. She wants to take care of him :) I heard her say "why are you winking at me?"..grandpa says "i'm just trying to put a smile on your face". Then when I was leaving he told me to keep my powder dry. He always say that to me so it made me cry :'( In a happy way though!

----------------------------------------
FRUIT OF THE WEEK

I think i'm getting carb face but I love fruit!!


See those 2 little white cups on the second shelf? Yep, those are PB containers. They've been there for 4 days now!! Can you believe it? Now if that was a whole jar I swear it wouldn't last. My brain works in weird ways.

Step One Complete

I placed my application today. It was a hiring event and there were TONS of people there. I must say that again I was the youngest. The guy scanned over it and seemed impressed that I was applying for the purchasing agent and not the admin asst. I gots skills okay! Part of me thinks I NEED a job before I get to use to not having one. Another part of me thinks what if I do get accepted for college etc...ugh! If it was meant to be then it will happen. So while doing my shoulder workout this afternoon I see an unknown number on my phone and let the voicemail pick it up. It was Joy calling from Aldi wanting to set up an interview :) It's this Wednesday at noon.

I want to thank all of you for the wishes on my Gramps and my future. You all are the best!

What the Hay?

This place a mile away is having a hiring event tomorrow. Aldi food store. They have a position open for a purchasing agent. I am overqualified and we'll see what happens. I'd only be losing $1.30 an hour from my last job so that's pretty awesome. I just don't know what to do. I really need to get a job ugh...I hate decisions LOL!

--------------------
Grandpa is acting better but the cancer is now in his bones. They changed his meds so hopefully that will help his confusion. Today is his and grandma's 62nd anniversary. Grandma says it'll probably be there last and then starts crying :( I haven't seen her cry yet so it was good for her to get it out.

I did take my lunch bag full of yummies though so there was no granola or nut eating :)

Life

I'll try to make this story short. My grandpa is in the hospital. We found out he had cancer a few months ago and he went through radiation etc..I was there Thursday night and it just wasn't my grandpa. They said his calcium level was high and that was causing confusion. Normally I would have been a mess because I had only got 3 workouts in and I HAD to get in my 4th. Screw that. I went 4.5 hours without eating...who cares. I would LOVE to say that I didn't even think about those things but the truth is I DID. I HATE thinking like that!

Today my husband had an eye appt at 8:30a. We decided that i'd go with him and then we'd go to the store together. Well to make another long story short(too late) he was in there for an hour and 15 minutes. What did I think about? How I didn't get up for EMC and now i'm just sitting in the car clipping coupons letting my oats lay on my hips. I mean how mental does that sound?? So I decided to walk around town in my flip flops, it was better than nothing. We go to the store where i'm a complete BITCH and I know i'm being that way but I can't stop. I think i'm PMSing but in reality i've been PMSIng for the last year without having a period!! Okay, i'm going to make a DR. appt this week and see what's up.

I came home and ate lunch and went back out to the hospital. My grandpa is doing much better today. He knows who we all are so that's good. My eating hasn't been that great during this time. I had some organic chocolates and a bite of my hubs dinner last night not to mention the salad I got at lunch had peanut dressing when I asked for balsamic vinegar on the side LOL! Today I had some cashews and a half of a granola bar. I wish I didn't care. Those things aren't THAT bad. It's not like I ate a large fry or a thick shake but that is how my brain works and i'm REALLY trying to get it fixed. I have been looking at other blogs where people are "healthy" and not "neurotic". I tend to be the latter i'll admit.
