i don’t feel like talking to anybody today. i woke up, the sun’s shining, it’s shaping up to be a hot day. i went for my run, made great time, and was feeling good. i come to the office and everyone’s monday-cranky and acting pissy, complaining about the weather, etc. and it’s definitely affecting my mood in a negative way. seriously, who can help the weather? it...

I love talking in fake accents all day at work. I work with a South African and I mimic his accent (BADLY) constantly.
All my accents sound the same: Newfoundland-slash-cockney Brit.
I sound retarded!
nike+
…is a must have. how did i run without this stellar piece of technology?!
let’s take a quick look at everything it does:
-tracks your distances
-calculates your pace
-remembers your personal best times (mile AND kilometre)
-figures out your calorie burn
-gives you audio updates if you wish during your run
-enables you to set a “power song” you can listen to at any...
feedback, feedback, ooh
pet peeve #23501294: when people ask for feedback on something from the masses and then add, “be nice!”
soooo, basically, “i want to hear your feedback if you love what i’m doing, but if not, keep it to yourself!”
don’t ask for feedback if you aren’t open to the possibility that it might not be great. or phrase your ask a different way…i.e....
is it sad that it’s sunday and i’m already excited for next weekend? day at the beach planned and a visit from the little sister.
Today: Going for a run; mani/pedi/ finishing the #@$!in invitations/RSVP cards, baking banana bread. I have 3 bananas rotting on the counter
v-fest—what’s the deal? are people still getting in? might swing by for offspring…when do they go on?
Saturday: coffee, magazines, visit to Bedford, invitation making, glasses shopping, running, possibly v-fest?
megan fox is like two straight girls making out at the bar so guys will buy them drinks. 100% phony but guys seem ok with it!
Virgin Fest is free tomorrow!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOO
Enough work for this week. I’m off like a kid on a swing with no arms.
I loooove a Friday where things come together beautifully. Everything’s coming up Amy today. *contented sigh*
Just because something is trendy does not mean you’ve gotta wear it!! Case in point: jumpers for adults. Bad for toilet emergencies.
If you do one thing today you will go to http://ovenspark.com and press play. Tell me you don’t want to go to Ovens Park now.
Going on day #5,329 of no sun. JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZAAAASSSSS
Living in Fredericton? Want to make some $$ distributing posters and stickers in downtown Freddy this month? Please RT / DM if interested.

sunday.
this morning, i ran 5.35 miles in 50 minutes, stopping every 10 minutes to do three sets of 12-20 reps of a bunch of exercises…
-triceps dips
-chair lunges
-pushups
-hip bridges (???)
-leg lifts
and ended with abs and stretching. i thought i was going to throw up, it’s so humid, and the little fan in the non-air-conditioned gym didn’t provide sufficient cooldownery.
it was...
wow...
i can’t seem to keep track of foods and workouts! it’s 9am and so far today i’ve eaten a bowl of special k with skim milk, a 100-calorie pack of chocolate covered pretzels, and i’m drinking a coffee. last night, i ran 8km while watching one tree hill, haha. that probably explains why i’m so ravenous this morning.
running has moved back to the treadmill this week...
head hurrrrrts
i hate math, hate billing, hate invoices and hate timesheets. “i’m an arts major”. or rather, JOURNALISM…hence, no numeric skills. unfortunately today involves numbers out the ying-yang. a hateful way to spend an already sucktacular monday. (i.e. after being cloudy and drizzly all weekend, it’s nice out today, wtf?)
breakfast: coffee (skim milk & splenda),...
this is not remotely fitness related...
Normally I like to get dressed up for work, put in a little effort, a skirt, some heels. Today is not one of those days. It’s Hump Day. The Red Wings lost last night. We just elected an NDP majority government in Nova Scotia. I need some comfort to get me through the day.
Today is a day for flats, basic black pants, an OLD (years old) t-shirt and the softest gray cardigan. And a ponytail....
tuesday
i hate tuesdays, but today got off to a good start when peter brought me a grande starbucks house blend when i was getting ready for work. :) i love little things like that in the morning…it can set the tone for the whole day!

10K!!
I ran 10K last night! That’s been my kind of ‘goal’ distance for a while. I set the treadmill to 10KM Lakeside Run (lol) and finished in just about an hour. Pretty pleased with that time. My incline wasn’t set very high (ranged from 0 to 2.5) but I was happy just to be able to finish the distance and not be completely suffering from it.
I think I’ll make Saturday my...
ADHD
I’m feeling so ADHD today. I really can’t concentrate on anything and I’ve got a case of the yawns and a semi-headache. I have lots of work to do but I’m just not feeling it. I think I need to book a vacation day or two sometime soon and get really recharged. Weekends are always so busy I don’t have much of a chance to unwind on Saturday and Sunday.
I’m going...
i'm so bad at this!
I’m really horrible at tracking my food and workouts. This weekend, I ate pretty healthily. There were lots of meals out, but I didn’t gorge too much. I made a cake yesterday and stuck to one small slice. I had kickboxing Sunday and running Saturday and lots of walking around time in between, so I was quite active. I also stocked up on lots of healthy food—fruits and veggies and...
CALL THE WAAAAAMBULANCE
Attention, chronic complainer I’m beyond tired of listening to:
STFU.
The sun is shining.
You have all your limbs.
You have someone who loves you.
You’re healthy.
You have a job.
You have a place to live.
The weekend is like 7 hours away.
For the love of all that is good and holy, do us all a favour and stop being so fucking negative. Things could be so much worse!
