All things Xbox

It's official. I'm hooked. We got xbox 360 and Guitar Hero World Tour for christmas and I'm totally hooked. I even signed up for xbox live and now I have a whole new obsession. I have only played 2 people online so far. One a friend from work and another person it matched me with that bailed. Apparantly if you are not good no one wants to play with you. That's ok though b/c I'm getting there. I do like the online experience though. I'm already on the hunt for a new game to play. I think most games are made with guys in mind. I'm not real crazy about shoot em up games. I'll find something. Later

Catchin up

Haven't posted in a long time, not that many folks read this anyway. I guess blogging is just another one of my hobbies that I have ADD with. I have so many interests in my life that I will get in to for a while, buy all this stuff, get completely gung ho in it for weeks, maybe months, and then all the sudden something else will take its place and I'll shift gears to it for a while. Most of the times I pick back up where I left off at some point. It happens with all kinds of stuff- crafts, scrapbooking, running, cycling, swimming, BLOGGING. I have termed it Hobby ADD. Anyway in an attempt to not have many resolutions this year I have 3 main ones, keeping them simple and general. 1. Get it together more-this applies to organization, equal attention to all hobbies, areas in life. 2. Use my wellness center membership appx 2 times per week or lose it. 3. Don't let fears and worries stop me from doing the things I want.

That's all I got for now. Later.

Reminder number 1,239,975,4545

As if I should have to be reminded this many times. I don't know if it's just me but I can be on a roll (for me anyway) of running consistently, exercising, etc, etc, then I fall off the wagon and its like starting all over to get back started. I ran today, which I haven't in about 3 wks a lot of which I have been sick, or knee pain. I thought I was going to die. I started out at about a 9:32 mile which is like lightening fast for me, my legs felt awesome like I could just run forever, then I felt like my lungs were going to catch on fire due to the cold weather, and that I was going to drown in my own snot. Now that's a pretty thought. I wound up walking probably half the way. Oh well I at least got back started in some form.

I hate being sick....

I have really felt like a lazy bum this week. I haven't ran due to knee problems, and for the past few days I have had the vomicking(that's how a lot of my patients say it). I am holding down food today, I just can't stand up for over a few minutes or I get sweaty and dizzy. I did reach this week's mini goal. I am now under 140lbs. There's always a silver lining.Nothing like a stomach virus to kick start a diet.

Boot Camp = Pain

Me and 2 other girls I work with decided the other day we were going to go to a boot camp class at the gym today. I had been to the class before, but it'd been about a year. It whooped our tails . It's bad when you are anxiously waiting for the ab exercises just so you can lie down. I managed to survive 45 min of it and then go run 1 mile on the treadmill. Tonight the pain has set in. I feel like I've been in a car wreck. So I am off now to go get in my hot tub and let my motrin kick in.

Didn't just fall off wagon, I'm being drug by it.

I am really bad. I have been so terrible the last few weeks about my running and my eating. You'd think I'm storing up food for winter the way I eat. I also feel tired no matter how much sleep I get. I think I feel so bad b/c my diet and exercise have been so bad. I feel so much better when I'm doing good and on track, and then I fall off the wagon. But I'm hopefully back on. Ate bad today but I did get up off my but and ran 4 miles, which was the first time I ran this week. I am trying to look on the bright side. This is an improvement since last year. Until this year the only way I was running was if something was chasing me. All I know as it's a work in progress. Maybe it'll all click one of these days. I so wish to be one of these peppy, workout addicted people. That's who I want to be when I grow up.

Gravel hurts.

Well I knew it would happen, most say it always does. I had my first bike wreck today. There have been a few close calls with the clipless pedals but today it happened. It was not the pedals, or the shoe's fault . I started off on some gravel and my tire slipped, and down I go. Thankfully no broken bones. I do have a little rode,well gravel rash to my lower leg and a sore shoulder. More than anything I was embarrassed and I scratched my bike and my pride. And here I have been scared a dog would make me wreck.
