Whew – what a busy, busy day! Hence the reason for the late post. I also was going to do a post on the naming of this blog, but I think I will wait on that and post next week, as it deserves its own post 😉
I woke up early for the gym today. Da muscle:
- Chin up: 2
- Barbell squats: 3 sets of 8 at 85 pounds
- Widegrip lat pull down: 3 sets of 8 at 60 pounds
- Pushups: 3 sets of 10
- Static lunge: 3 sets of 10 with 25 pound plate
- Prone Cuban snatch: 3 sets of 10 with 10 pound dumbbells.
- Incline reverse crunch: 3 sets of 10.
I challenged myself today by doing 30 second rests between exercises instead of 60. Then hopped on the treadmill and walked for 40 minutes.
In the spirit of the Hot 100 challenge to myself of spending time with family – I invited my parents out to bagel day today! Even my dad came, which was nice – although he doesn’t eat breakfast and just had coffee. Bad blogger that I am, I did not get their picture…. I had a nice bagel,though:
Still with lots of work to do this week. I am thankful for that. Some doctors are trying to play catch up with all of their old files before the holiday and we are getting dumped on with work!
Lunch break was a quesadilla – Smart carb wrap spread with laughing cow cheese, BBQ sauce and cooked chicken pressed between 2 fry pans:
It was yum! Plus a side of carrot sticks.
Snack of champions:
I ate too many snacks today. I just could not get satisfied for some reason.
More family time tonight included meeting my sister and niece at the dog obedience training tonight. Here is my sister with Storm:
And then my niece Logan with Annie. Annie is the old lady at 10? She’s also deaf, so training can be difficult, although she is still quite good at it 😀
Logan is going to a junior handlers show next month. None of us had had dinner (I was working right up until I left), so we stopped at Subway afterwards. I broke my corporate meat rule and had a turkey sandwich:
It was kind of m’eh. It’s been so long since I have eaten Subway. We used to eat their quite a bit. I still am surprised sometimes at how my tastes have changed over the last couple of years.
I somehow agreed to do weekly training classes with one of my sister’s dogs starting in February. How did that happen? 😯
Ornament of the day:
This was the 2nd ornament I did this year. It’s a little loose, but I like the colors.
Sorry for the disjointed post tonight. Still have things to do and I have not opened up my google reader yet today!
I like these posts that are filled with all sorts of tidbits.
I posted a pic of my dinner just for you!!!

I’ve been a snacking machine lately. I keep telling myself Christmas is not an excuse, but alas, my hands and mouth don’t seem to be getting the message 😛 Ah well! It’ll all be over soon! Have a wonderful Christmas Eve Lori!!!! 😀

Interesting observation about Subway…I wonder if Taco Bell would taste as good to me as it used to?
