The shape of things to come

This weekend went by WAY TOO FAST! I can hardly believe it's almost 10pm on Sunday!

I spent zero minutes working out this weekend which makes me mad at myself. Normally I wouldn't beat myself too much over it, but I'm working late 3 days this week and won't be able to work out then either! Such a terrible way to fall off the resolution so early in the year! I'm not giving up though, I'll figure something out.

I did however have plenty of time to go shopping. I bought 2 workout tops, 1 wii game on sale and a bunch of grocery items that were all on sale at costco. I ended up spending about $80 on the grocery stuff alone! But it was on things like PB, bread, V8 juice, cereal, things I would have needed to get at the grocery store eventually. The only other thing I bought myself was a COSCO cup for cold drink. It kind of looks like a Starbucks cup, it's actually super awesome and I can't wait to try it out tomorrow morning for my smoothie!

Today was brunch at my aunt & uncle's house. My uncle is also a runner and I've roped him into running a half marathon with me to celebrate my 30th, which is in 2011 so we have plenty of time to train. I had mentioned it to him on Christmas Eve and he was all over the idea.. but he was also inebriated so I didn't expect him to actually be up for it. Today I found out he's quit drinking and he's dead serious about training! I'm very excited to have a running partner!

After brunch we sat around and watched Fanboys and then I came home to try to get the house as clean and tidy as I could. I got all of my laundry done and put away. I vacuumed the bedroom, hallway and stairs. Vacuumed the main floor and dusted. I still need to get all of the Christmas stuff put away but that won't happen until I get some storage bins.

I also started getting to work on my meal plan for the week. My mother got me a crock pot for my New Year's gift, but I just got it today so I'm SUPER excited to use it! I haven't had a crockpot in over a year since I broke my last one. And this one is even better, it has a timer!

Ok, I'm off to watch the rest of Chuck and then to rewatch this week's Dollhouse. Goodnight!

First run done.

So, I knew I wasn't in the best shape but yesterday I found out how bad I really am! I wanted to knock out a simple 3k run on the treadmill which never used to be a problem for me. O. M. G. I huffed and puffed my way to 1 mile and called it quits. I'm glad that I finally bit the bullet and found out how far off I am though. It's amazing how you lose your conditioning though. Sad really. but what this does is giving me a starting point and I can only improve from here!

A couple of hours after my 'run' I started feeling really cold and overall gross so I think I might actually be fighting off something. I still felt a bit off this morning but got ready for work anyways and the feeling passed by lunchtime.

Today was payday which is always fun. I also got some backpay for some acting I did in December.. I'm counting this towards my extra $2010 in '10, the money's getting transferred to me TFSA. I'll update my sidebars sometime on the weekend once everything has gone through.

I totally forgot to pvr The Biggest Loser last night so I guess I'm off to read a recap so I can be prepared for next week! Not that this show requires muck knowledge, but I like to know what I missed!
