I rebuke thee Emerald City Smoothie

That might be a little harsh, but I'm sticking to that for now.

My friend loves emerald city smoothie and I rode with her. I decided to get something, but I didn't know the menu and not too big on fruity so the smoothie-ista(?) recommended the peanut butter variety to which I added $1.25 of flax seed oil to. After I got the $12 back from my twenty, I jokingly asked, "Is this 1500 or 2000 calories?". She said, "Haha, no way, 720!". I looked at the register clearly labeled with "NO REFUNDS!" and left with my head hanging low.

I drank half, the other half is in the freezer. It tasted good, very peanut-buttery. I'll drink the other half tomorrow and I'll be sticking to my shakeology, thanks. I do still feel full though. Lacking most of the nutritional goodness of shakeology, even when I make my most calorific version of chocolate peanut butter, it never goes over 500 calories.

insomnia still in progress

I'm ready to put in the elbow grease now. I realize that I've been trying to bypass the hard work and get straight to success and despite all the feel good movie endings, that's just not how life usually works. x's and o's and no z's

insomnia

So even though I've been out of work since Tuesday due to the snow, I've been in bed around 10 nearly every night, but not tonight. Tonight I am wide awake. I just cleaned out my purse though. That was in great need of doing...not that I had a week stuck inside to get it done during the daylight hours when I didn't need to be catching z's, but nonetheless, it's done now :)

I've been really stuggling trying to find a way to get my workouts in. Once I get home, even if Curt tries to keep Gage occupied, he still knows mommy's here and it is tough for me to find my own place, undisturbed, where I can focus. I've been trying to find a community center with a tv or a friend that wants to workout with me that will allow me to take over their tv room for awhile. I've felt like this was a rather large obstacle. I've tried gym memberships and it's just not for me. I love taking classes, but the schedules are just not what I want and too easy for me to make excuses and machines just aren't for me.

Tonight, laying in bed, with my mind racing about how I'm going to juggle bills this month and wondering if tomorrow's evening will allow for YogaX as scheduled, it came to me. My office at work is my other underwear drawer...my one place left all to me to do as I wish. So I packed up my weights, my ball, a towel, etc and poof, problem solved. Starting tomorrow, I'm closing my office on time, putting a poster over the window on my door and sweating off my muffin top.

Job well done insomnia, can I get some sleep now?
