Its been a crazy week or so...

So, its been a crazy two weeks..I adopted a kitten that I have named so far PITA, toying with other names (Pain in the A$$)..but, only say in the most lovingly way. Its been interesting to say the least, seeing as this is my first cat. I don't really like the 20+ attempt sneak attacks of my feet a day. Its like either she's sleeping or in attack mode. I completely slacked off on my workouts last week. I missed some of my walking days..but, I did keep up with the most important day of the week..my 8 mi walk over the weekend. It was weird because I did it at the gym. The most entertaining part was, I was able to read a book while I was walking. It was an endurance walk so I set my speed to 3.5 and went..thats a nice speed where you feel like you are going somewhere but still able to stare at a book with out falling on your face. (The book I was reading was Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen...which I loved..I love her writing..such a fan. Can't wait to read her new one.) It was nice to be inside in the A/C..but, I missed being able to be outside in the sunshine, seeing trees galore and actually feeling like I'm accomplishing something by knowing that I am going some place rather than on a stationary machine...

This week I've done much better with my training..I worked hard on my 3 mi days. My times have gotten much better ..Minutes have been melting off. This weekend, we are moving up to 10 mi on Sat..looking foward to it..Its prob going to take 3 hrs, but when I finish..I feel great...and am usually hungry as hell. Did make a mistake of going to Cici's last week..but, its alright..my diet has been going rather well this week as well..like tonight I made Jerk Chicken, with Couscous and peas...it was yummy..Pita attempted to get into my plate, so I would like to think that she agrees. I hope all of my hard work this week shows on the scale. I'd like to drop some more weight before I go back to work in a few weeks..I can't believe the summer has gone by so quickly! Alright just realized Glee was on...so I'm going to go watch Wheels for probably the 20th time.

Thanks Heishman!

Thank you Amy Heishman for reintroducing me and giving me a reason to be back on Blogger! ..though, I have to change it around a bit..not doing the Couch to 5k anymore. Instead I'm training to do the Avon 2Day Walk for Breast Cancer..which is a feat in itself...39.3 miles in two days...26.2-Day 1. Right now we are up to walking 6 miles for our endurance walks, which I love the long walk days..but, my walking and training buddy Kristy does not like..:D Next Saturday we are moving up to 8 miles! I have to find a new place to walk..we currently train mostly at the Greenway in Gastonia, but its going to start getting old to be walking back forth..esp on the end that seems to go nowhere and ends on Hudson. >.<>

Speaking of Avon Walk..we have scored our first real fundraising event..Pizza Night at Simonetti's in Belmont..so, local peeps be prepared..Event coming soon! August 15th, we are going to be at Simonetti's..He is going to be giving 10% of proceeds for the day to us! We have to bring the customers in..so, I'm in the process of creating a poster and hitting up my friends! :D
