Please Join Me

I would love to share some nostalgia with you. Things that make me go "WOW I REMEMBER THAT!". Also some things I am collecting because I love it.

I drank out of these glasses for as long as I can remember! I actually went and bought some much to my mothers dismay because she had ours packed up in the garage. Oops 


I called these Ravioli bowls because....well you guessed it.......I ate ravioli out of them. Yes, bought some of these too........mom still uses ours.


One of my first Halloween costumes! I had lots of Holly Hobbie items and have started a new collection. As a matter of fact, I still have a TV tray (minus the legs) I used when I was little. (my mother NEVER throws anything away)


I loved this doll! I think mom actually got rid of her.

I got a little older and mom bought me this book....and I in turn bought it for my daughter and I have saved it for my grand daughter

I then hit my teens and ............


Started wearing jelly shoes


and leg warmers

and denim jean jackets

and Members Only jackets (mine was navy blue)

and parachute pants


and used a Poloriod camera


My senior year in high school I drove my parents hamby down car (that I miss dearly)


and figured I would be a trend setter and use a TMNT back pack


Believe it or not........I went back the next year and ALL the seniors had one! Guess I was cool after all.

I will be doing a follow up post with more 70/80's nostalgia! Please feel free to share things from your childhood or request pictures of things you miss!

Recap

I missed blogging over the past few days so Ill try to remember everything that I did.

Got up early Thursday morning drank me some NO Explode and grabbed my gear for my run.........ok.................my walk/jog/run. :) Yes that is pepper foam you see. I refuse to run with out it.




My time........yeah, needs work. The bright side, I got up and got out!


I didn't get to do my Ashtanga Yoga and to be honest I cant remember why.  But I did go to the store to pick up some things for supper and boy did I score! Check this out!


Oh yeah! Good Good Good!

Friday morning I got up and did my OM Yoga and Meditation. It is a great way to start off the day! (for me)

   

Then we went to our friends house for supper, drinks, and a movie. We had so much fun but I did NOT feel good Saturday morning. I headed to my eldest daughters house to watch my sweet sweet Grandchildren. They call me Yia Yia. (Greek)  I always let my 3 year old granddaughter take her very own pictures. Here are some of them.
















To include Yia Yia's hiney! 












Sunday and Monday I only did the essentials due to female problems! I wont get into details unless someone asks. Now, I am trying to square away my daily goal list from earlier today.  I think I will start ending my posts with a random hippy quote..........let me know what you think.

"I do my thing, and you do your thing. I am not tin this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful."
Frederick E. Perl

Yoga, Meditation, Weights, and SUSHI!

Oh what a wonderful day! I am so very proud of myself. I woke up bright and early and did my Om Yoga and Meditation DVD before work.  Here is my meditation chair. 

Work went SMOOOOOTH! The day ended before I knew it! Then it was home to hit the weights! (remember my schedule?) 

It went something like:
Squats: Barbell 55 lbs. 8/8/10
Incline DB Press: 20 lbs. each 8/8/8
Standing Calf Raises : Barbell 55 lbs. 20/20/20
Stiff Leg Dead Lifts: 55 lbs. 10/10/10
Seated Shoulder Press: DB 10 lbs. 10/10/10
Lat Pull Down: 100 lbs. 10/10/10 (instead of pull ups and I should have gone heavier) 

Eats went a little something like this:

Breakfast- 1 egg, 2 egg whites, and 2% sharp cheddar
Snack- Multigrain chips and hummus
Lunch- (see pic)
That is broiled salmon, green beans, and brown rice with a little low sodium soy sauce.
Afternoon snack-White bean and ham chili (small cup)
Supper and PWO meal- Beef tataki and a carafe of sake (I know I know I could have gone with out the sake   but it was good darnit!)

Thank you all for stopping by! Tomorrow is morning run and Ashtanga Yoga in the evening.

Endurance Workout

I have to admit, even though I am pretty active I am VERY out of shape. So I decided (again) to design myself a plan that would get me moving everyday with a rest day on Sunday. 


To show you how out of shape I am I ended up doing:

Split Jumps 42/41
Bent Knee Push ups 10/10
Mountain Climbers 16/18
Burpees 1!
Single Leg Glute Raise 25/20 (each leg)
Swiss Ball Jack knife 16/15
Swiss Ball Crunches 20//20
Jumping Jacks 30/40

I wanted to do 3 rounds but it didn't happen. Am I disappointed? A little but today is day one right? Now its time to start tightening up the diet......after all, diet is key right? :)

I will leave you with some random fur baby pics......yes I do love my pets!
