Piles

And Piles!

Of Stuff.

There are piles of papers.

Piles of Books

Piles of random things that I really don't know why we have it.

This is my life right now.

Sorting all of our things into piles of keep, donate, and trash.

All in preparation to move.

Book Wish/Must Have List

Okay, so I know that you are not tired of my lists of things. Right?

I know your not, because I'm not!

Here is my new book list:

And I never say no to someone giving me a book. (totally not a hint).

Also I think I'm giving up my no buying book New Years resolution.
I think I've learned my lesson. But also we are going to be very poor when I start school in the Fall and will not be able to buy any books. So, for this summer I'm going to get a few that I've been wanting for some time.

For Pleasure:

Something New

I found something new today.

I think I'm in love with it.

American Public Media's On Being.

I'm excited to listen to the Podcasts.

And read the blog.

For your enjoyment here is a picture of my dying herbs.

WEDNESDAY: WEIGH IN

My Week:
Wednesday, weigh in day. Some lbs were lost as some of you may remember, Alex decided that it was going to be a cheat day. So, for dinner we had yummy Thai food. Chicken and shrimp pad thai, red curry, and spicy fried rice all of which we requested hot! Then we shared a molten lava cake. I think I gained back all the weight I lost in just one meal!
Thursday, Chico Chai with a dear friend and I worked out. However, there was more chocolate cake.
Friday, no workout and dinner out with a friend. I was semi-good and had baked salmon.
Saturday, no workout. I spent the day visiting with various family members. Ate out twice! A omelet for brunch and an empanada for dinner and some tres-leche cake for dessert.
Sunday, again no workout. I really had nothing to do that day and just stayed home and did absolutely nothing.
Monday, I WORKED OUT! Finally. I had a full day. Finished a book I've been reading, worked an eight hour shift and cooked a healthy dinner.
Tuesday, Alex and I worked out together. We did Jillian Michael's Killer Buns and Thighs. Now I'm beat. The day was long, but much was accomplished.
Are you sick of my weekly recap yet?
Here are my stats for the week.
Weight Loss Goal: 18 lbs
Starting Weight: 158 lbs(Jan 1 st) Today's Weight: 153 lbs Week Loss: 2 lbs
Total Loss: 5 lbs
Distance to Goal: 13 lbs
Week's workouts: 3
Total Time Exercising: Hour an a Half
Happy Wednesday!
Happy Leap Day!
Also I'm attempting to go Vegetarian for the whole month of March. Wish me luck!
And I'd like to thank Lucy, Katy, and Izzy for all their encouragement last week. I did not hit my goal of working out 4 days, but I'm going to try again this week and watch my diet a little closer no more chocolate cake!

Wednesday: Weigh In

I've been wanting to lose some lbs. Well really who doesn't and well of course I'm not on track. I'm not really doing anything other than hearing about my husband working out and eating a lot of Subway. I mean a lot. I think I'm getting really sick of sandwiches and I love sandwiches. This next week my goal is to work out at least 4 times. Which will be a huge jump.
Anyways, I stumbled upon this ~~fun~~ ~~exciting~~ link party. Maybe it'll keep me on track. I'm at least willing to give it a try.
Weight Loss Goal: 15 lbs (from today!)
Starting Weight: 158 lbs(Jan 1 st) Today's Weight: 155 lbs
Total Loss: 3 lbs
Distance to Goal: 15 lbs
Week's workouts: 1
Total Time Exercising: 30 minutes

Happy Wednesday!
