Yes, I like sniffing my own tail.
My boss is back from maternity leave! I am proud to say that I actually kept my promise (which was a joke at first) that I said to her before she left in early May that my goal was to be lighter when she returned. I am definitely a lot lighter than I was back then. She gave me and my cubicle-mate (who was my acting boss while she was away) some gifts from Juicy Couture! I don't own any Juicy stuff (mainly because it's too pricey for me) so it was an especially nice surprise. Something about the shopping bag color combo caught my eye - I'm not usually a pink person, but when I saw the shopping bag (pink/brown combo) I said to myself, hmmm if I ever get married or have a daughter, I think I'll use this color combo. LOL!!!!
insanelygenius loves sparkly things!
I was feeling a bit run down today, though I did do the downtown/work walk this morning. It started drizzling, but I didn't use my umbrella. Sometimes it feels nice just to let the rain just fall down on my head (besides, I change into my work clothes out at work anyway). Had a meeting at lunch, which, I stupidly forgot to bring a fork with me, so I ate my lunch with a knife. Hahahaha! After lunch it was the usual birthdays of the month celebratory cake (angel food w/ mandarin and whipped cream). Along with this non-fat option, was a container of petite brownie bites, an apple pie, rice krispies treats, pastries AND chocolate cookies. Not to mention a giant Ziploc bag full of candy. OMG!
As I was listening to Dave Ramsey this morning, he said the hardest thing one can do is to say no to him/herself. He was speaking in terms of money and buying crap that you don't need ("No, I don't need this new Louis Vuitton wallet." "No, I don't need a new car, the old one still works.", etc.). I think this philosophy also applies to smart eating. If you can say no to certain things, then you can say yes to better things. I know the cake was lowfat, but since I didn't plan to workout today (I am sore from the Gettin' Ripped from yesterday, esp. my abs), I decided to pass on ALLLLL the goodies.
Headed to Costco after work to see if they had the latest release of CSI: Las Vegas (again, I have ALL of the CSI seasons for all locations) but they didn't. :( Checked at the mall, but it's beyond what I would pay for it, so I'll just wait til they get it at Costco. But OMG!!! They have SNUGGIES at Costco!!! The nice microfiber kind too (not the cheap felt kind that they originally came out with). I dunno why, but I want one. Lately I haven't been freezing at work though, so I'll just wait.
Not sure if I wanna look like a wizard though...
Went to dialysis today, luckily Mom had no bad cramps today so that's always a plus. Though it is "that time" of the month for me, so everyone and everything is irritating me, and now I'm getting cramps and getting moody! I said to myself, okay, I am going to have a spicy ahi donburi (spicy ahi w/ rice) at the mall for dinner, then I WILL workout when I get home! I haven't had spicy ahi in a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong @$$ time...well, at least a week anyway. Maybe more, I'm too lazy to check which blog posting it was. :)
Came home, chopped some cabbage for my folks dinner (pork and cabbage stew) and put in Turbo Jam! It's the home version of the Turbo Kick Box (TKB) classes they have at the gyms. I actually met Chalene Johnson (founder of TKB) last year when I took advantage of the rare opportunity of a Hip Hop Hustle instructional class taught by her. She rarely comes to Hawaii, and when she does, she only comes to vacation in Maui.

I do miss TKB class. I went faithfully for over a year, until 1 week after the photo above was taken...then I OD'd on green tea and caffeine, dehydrated, panicked (and called the ambulance on myself, WHO thought I was lying because I looked suspicious because I was wearing all black. Frickin' idiots, of course I was wearing all black, you look slimmer in black spandex at the gym!)and my blood sugar dropped from stupidly doing Hustle class PLUS TKB class one after the other (nearly 2 hours of high intensity aerobics). What an idiot. Proof that 1) you can over do it 2) too much coffee is baaaaaaaaaad baaaaaaaaad for you. :)
I managed to do 30 mins. before I was booted out by my Dad, who needs to watch the news while he cleans his brass shell casings (ammo). Grrrr. Maybe I'll finish the next 20 mins. in the morning. Funny thing: the shorts I usually wear in the evenings started falling down while I was doing TKB. LOL!!!
