Packing and procrastinating

Busy.

Busy.

Busy.

The good news: I’m feeling good, even with my bruises/boo boos!

Yesterday when I got my act together I had a productive day running errands, running bootcamp, and I even made it to swim last night. I took it really easy and realized that I was sore-er than I thought! Perhaps the endorphins in bootcamp were a bit misleading and I should have held back more…

a new suitcase, some reading material and entertainment for the road, some food for my bag, and some canadian food for our friends who miss hickory sticks and smarties with a passion

Like I said I started my packing. Obvs food was easy to buy and pack up. 20120709-172340.jpg

I also got some fun stuff – a magazine, some threading to make bracelets, etc. Today I picked up “The Vegetarian Myth” to add to my reading list. Books are heavy and I’m bringing lots. Free weight training!

Last night’s bootcamp workout was “crazy 8s”.

Warmup

Workout

8 reps each of

1. jumping jacks

2. squats

3. plank walkouts

4. pushups

5. mountain climbers (1 rep is 3 — one knee outside elbow, to shoulder, and across to opposite shoulder)

6. burpees

7. supermans

8. situps

Repeat 8x, preferably somewhere sunshiny and gorgeous and with company. :)

Like I said, I went to swim after the bootcamp (and a snack that I ate too fast to photograph–my apple/alfalfa/almond butter mix). I mostly went so we could go for froyo after, but I can honestly say the froyo was NOT my idea (for once) and coffee would have fit the bill. ’twas about the quality time and I’m froyo-d out. Could be a good thing since I don’t know the area where I’m headed and a full fledged addiction would be hard to handle on the road.

Speaking of the road, I gotta pack. I’m not usually THIS unmotivated, but I do not want to stuff all my crap into a bag right now. I blame it on being pretty freaking happy where I am!

I promise to update shortly on today’s bootcamp and how I spent my morning–cuz it was filled with big ideas and starting points that I’m obviously eager to share. I’ll think of it as a reward at the end of the packing/driving home tunnel. :)

Have a great afternoon!

  1. i need froyo NOW. Every time you post a picture, I’m like “OMG FROYO” and I’ve held myself back but I think this picture is the last straw and I’ll have to just go to Kiwi this afternoon. My wallet hates you. :-P lol jk, glad you’re feeling better after the fall! And Smarties….are you talking about the chocolate smarties?? They exist in Canada?!?! I thought they were only in europe! OMG. omg.

    • Hahah! Yes they are here. I don’t like them because I was raised on m and ms!! When I visit I’ll bring you a box and we can put them on froyo. Or you can. Like I said, m and ms for me! :D

  3. Haha I hear you on the fro yo addiction! Yesterday I was in Toronto and I was dying to find Menchies (I hear they have awesome fro yo!) but I couldn’t find one, so I had to settle for Yogen Fruz. It was delicious, but I missed having toppings!
