May it bring me the excitement of POSSIBILITIES!

 

“The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.”

George Bernard Shaw

May is shaping up to be a GREAT month!

Why you ask?

• I get my flip flops from my Flip Flop Swap!

• May 2nd-Bun Run!  I am back in the game folks, might not be my best run ever, but at least I will be out running!

• I will start my personal training/physical therapy!  I had to give up boot camp in March because of my back, but the doctor has given me the go ahead to start again!
• May 12th- one of my GREATEST friend’s Tammy will be here from Canada and I can’t wait to see her face!  She will no doubt kick my arse and get me out and about so much!  I am looking SO forward to it!

• May 14th CONAN O’BRIEN!  I am BEYOND excited about seeing him live!  I can’t wait for him to start his new show on TBS!

• I will have 18 training walks for the Breast Cancer 3-Day

• 5 Weight Watcher WI’s…remind me that I am EXCITED about these!

• Lots of Birthdays and Anniversaries!

• Reese will be 5 months old, HUGE, and able to go outside and play out in the real world and not just the world behind my building!

• Thomas will graduate First Grade!

• Memorial Day kicks off the Summer!

What are you looking forward to in the month of May?  Does it bring you the excitement of all the possibilities?

There was a run in….

With this this evening and I am NOT very happy with myself right now.

I had 3 servings of this with my mindless snacking tonight…I know why, I just wish I would have stopped it and done something more useful with my time.  Isn’t that what flex points are for?  I now have to behave myself for the rest of the weekend!  I CAN DO THIS!

The rest of the days eats:

Breakfast is kind of getting high in points but it keeps me full for HOURS but if I am going to keep up this nighttime eating…I need to cut things out somewhere!  My trip to Starbucks cost me 8 points…WAY TOO MUCH! Leftovers were good and filling…and dinner was AMAZING.  Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts and a Buffalo Burger Patty…

   

There were lots of cute pictures today…Reese was a ham today!

 

And look what was finished today:

There is a strawberry plant, 3 different kinds of tomatoes and herbs…CAN’T WAIT TO PARTAKE!

And look at what I found…AFTER I sent Keely her flip flops…I want these for myself!

I want these in orange and then I found these too…at Target!  I will have to get them…ONE DAY!  Like my flip flop tan lines?

Tomorrow I am posting my May outlook…I am really looking forward to the month of May!

Thursday 5

Just post 5 things that have made you…

Happy

Giddy

Grateful

Joyful

Gleeful

or all of the above…
After you do your post..comeback here and link up…

1.  Reese…how could she not make me Happy, Giddy, Grateful, Joyful and Gleeful all at the same time?  Do you see this face?

2.  I started my Breast Cancer 3 Day training this week!  I am determined to get in AS many of the training walks as I can.  I really want to embrace this experience all the way, and at the same time see and explore different parts of the city!

 

3.  I made a new friend this week and got out and about!  I also found some new blogs to read and I am enjoying that!  AND I won a giveaway from Jessica! 

4.  I am happy that I found cute flip flops to send to my flip flop swap partner…who happens to host Thursday 5!

5.  WATERMELON!  I got one yesterday and I enjoyed sitting on the patio eating watermelon and reading a magazine…it made me GIDDY!

Play along!

A Beautiful Day!

Today was MUCH MUCH better than yesterday!  I just had to wake up with a better attitude! 

First thing this morning I found out that I won Jessica’s giveaway!  VERY EXCITING! 

I left early for my Chiro appointment and decided to do my training walk on Town Lake…it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY!

   

Why you should invest in a heart rate monitor!  See the difference in calories burned?

Followed up with a great visit to the chiro, a trip to the grocery store, and a shower…I was a NEW woman!

Reese had her last puppy appointment…she is WELL loved at the vet!  The vet says in 2 weeks Reese is a free puppy and can go out in the real world on hikes, walks, and hopefully swims in the creek!

Dinner was AWESOME!  Tilapia with squash, zucchini, onion, tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper and Mrs Dash…it turned out SO WELL!

 

The rest of today’s eats:

  

Ahh…tomorrow brings another training walk, finishing up the grocery shopping, some organizing, and a trip to the post office!
