Case of the Mondays

Thank God the Monday workday is over. It was once again a busy one where I felt like I had no time to take a breath. On top of it, I wasn't in the best mood to start Monday - my sciatic nerve is being pressed on by my bundle of joy and it's been sending a shooting pain all the way down the back of my left left and left bum cheek. I love every single one of you ladies, so I'm gonna keep it real - I am ready to have my body back. Sure, I am going to be sharing my tatas with this little guy, but I will not miss the back pain, the cramps, the feeling that I was kicked in the crotch when I wake up, the waddle and of course the squats to pick anything up (hey, I guess the bright side is I'm working on my glutes whenever I drop some post its). Moving on from Monday...

Christmas is 4 days away! WHO is ready?! ME ME ME MEEEEEE!!! Nick and I were talking about it this morning, and it's so crazy to believe we will have a son next Christmas. This is our last Christmas without kids! I think with Troy being here next Christmas will be that much more fun. Seeing his face when he see's all the beautiful twinkly lights and listening to the same Christmas music I listened to as a kid. Sure, he'll be shy of his 1st birthday next year, but he'll be old enough to be amazed by the bright little lights. I am fully ready for Christmas. This weekend I got all of Nicky poo's stocking stuffers (he has been a very good boy this year) and finished all my other gifts for the family. Then today after work I mailed off my MIL's presents so I am completely done with running around, woot woot!

I just can't not share with you all MORE exciting news - 5 (working) days until I'm on maternity/permanent leave!!

Let's make it a good Monday

So it's back to Monday lovelies. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I follow blogs of people who live in the Nashville area and this is just terrible! My prayers are with everyone there.

My weekend was quite nice - since my hubby got promoted, I treated myself to a little shopping. Old Navy was having a 30% off EVERYTHING in the store sale Friday - Sunday, so of course I had to see what the big fuss was about. I walked out with 2 really cute tops and 1 pair of pants that I love. I could only find a pic of the pants online:

They are very flattering and I got them in black since I needed black pants. They will be great for warm summer nights with some wedges and a cute tank too.

Speaking of wedges, look at what I picked up at DSW-

HOT, right? I had never been in there before and holy moly!! I have found the best place for wedges and heels and flats and tennis shoes :) Seriously, they have everything!! My mother in law was kind enough to send me a gift card for my bday, and I just got around to using it. I am in heaven with these shoes.

The weather couldn't have been more gorgeous! Although, I sadly was unable to lay about by the pool since it was a tad too windy for that. Plus my weekend was pretty busy with shopping and yesterday it was my mama's birthday. I also was a productive maniac and cleaned the entire apartment. It looks amazing and it's sparkly more than Ryan Seacrest's smile


Oh so you ready for the mandatory workout plan for the week? Here is it:

Monday: 3 mile run
Tuesday: 3 mile run with upper body strength training
Wednesday: 3 mile run with legs
Thursday: 30 minute walk on incline with upper body and ab training
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Shred and run/ride

Make it a great day beautifuls!! Just cause it's Monday, doesn't mean it can't be a great day.....right?

Ha ha Mondays

Did you get through it? The inevitable Mondays! If I am being honest, my Monday actually went really good. I woke up feeling tired, but I went to bed before 10 last night which I never do (I should note it felt amazing) and woke up at 5 AM sharp to begin my run. I pulled on my FILAS running pants, pulled up my socks, laced up my shoes and set out to wake up my bf Tread Mill. He was awake of course (he always seems ready to go. A huge perk with him ;)) and turned on the best thing that was on TV....SELENA!! O I used to watch this movie all the time when I was growing up. I LOVE Selena's songs and I think Jenny from the block did a great job portraying her. Made those 3.15 miles go back like that! After my morning routine of coffee, shower, coffee, hair, coffee, make up, coffee & bfast, I was out the door! I drove with a kick ass attitude today which never really happens on a Monday. I was listening to a Girls Scout of America commercial which had me think of a email I got last week from a co worker. Once that email was in my brain, everyone on highway 50 probably looked over to my car in the traffic and their coffee mug in hand thinking "I'll have what she's having". So ladies and gent's. I present to you, the best way to start a morning. LAUGH!!

Sounds like somebody has a case of the Mondays

How was everyone's weekend?! Mine was pretty chill..didn't do much of anything. I am so tired. I notice that if I go to bed at total opposite times, I drag during the day and nothing can wake me up. Mama is getting herself a nice large coke zero in about 10 minutes. Its only noon and I have 5 more hours of work. Point is: I NEED to wake up! This weekend N and I played World of Warcraft :) Now don't laugh!! I have officially crossed over. I'm a WoW nerd :) It really isn't as bad as I thought, even though I hate admitting it. I used to look at N like an addict, but now its one of our favorite things to do together. And we really do do it together. Our characters go on quests together. GEEZ even THAT last sentence sounded nerdy, lol. Oh well! I love it! Do you do nerdy/embarrassing things with your significant other??? So anyways, we stayed up till like 2AM every night. Then last night we went to bed at like 9:30, and it threw off my whole sleeping clock. I hate it cause I treated myself to turning in early and this is how my body repays me?! By making me a complete zombie the next day! O and by the way, its raining and dark outside. PERFECT snuggling under the blankets weather. Hope everyone's Monday goes good! I promise I'll have a better attitude tomorrow. I just got a serious case of the Mondays.
