Life is Exhausting!

I wanted to post on Thursday, but when I turned on my computer, the screen looked like this:

Yeah...problem!

Turns out it is an easy fix.  (AND POTENTIAL EASY APRIL FOOLS JOKE!)  Just hit Ctrl + Alt + one of the arrow keys.  Apparently I had hit Ctrl + Alt + Up.

Thursday was great though!  I went to work (blech), went to the eye dr. (first time in 5 years!...and now I have astigmatism).  On Wednesday SwimSwis and TeenSwimSis and myself had packed our workout stuff in order to go to the Y after shopping, but we were shopping FOREVER!!!  Thursday morning, I made sure to put my already packed bag in the trunk of my car.  No excuses not to go work out!

I walked a mile + 5 min cool down (28:48 mins).  0.5 incline.  Would have been faster, but I could not figure out how to work the machine, so I just did a quick start and figured it out from there. 

Then of course I had to swim!  Ended up with a lane to myself = <3!!!  I was worried I would be bored because I did not look up a set beforehand and would probably have to make it up.  Miraculously, there was a set stuck to the wall of my lane!  It was 3100 yards and faster than I would like, so I modified it to my liking:

Warm up: 1 x 200 freestyle (all freestyle.  Freestyle tends to be painful, but if I can push through this 200, I find myself being able to do a lot more!)
5 x 50 kick (2 freestyle, 1 breastroke/butterfly, 2 freestyle)
4 x 50 ( 12 yds all out, 38 easy recovery.  Mine was more of 60% for 12 yards)

Main Set:

x 4
1 x 100 (25 drill, 25 swim, 25 d, 25 s)
1 x 100 (focus on technique)
1 x 100 (FAST)

I alternated freestyle and backstroke for 1200 yards on that main set.

Cool down: 1 x 150 Eeeaasy

Did you catch that that was 2000 yards?  Slightly under 1.25 miles.  I couldn't let the treadmill outdo my swimming!

After the eye appointment and 2 hrs at the Y, I got home at 9pm.  So tired!  This is what I whipped up for dinner:

Gourmet, non?

Here are some other things that I captured with my 6 year old camera this week:

Don't mind my dirty clothes there at the bottom.

 I got another Green Bean Delivery.  Specifically fruit because TeenSwimSis was in town for her spring break and alone at the house all day.  Had to make sure she ate well!  We got pineapple, mangoes, kiwi, limes, oranges, pears, apples, bananas, avocados, and I ordered extra Medjool Dates!  I love Medjool Dates :)

Uh oh spaghettios!

 I left the coffee pot on at work all night.  That DID NOT smell good.

Not a lotta latté

I got a latté as usual, because Tuesday is "Two punch Tuesday" for rewards cards.  One more Tuesday and I will have earned a free latté!  However, wtf, what happened to my 16 oz latté?  It felt a little light!  Did they make it a 12oz?  Hmph.  Just figured the universe was telling me not to drink so many lattés!  In reality, I only drink 1/2 latté on the day I get it then finish it the next day!

I felt so exhausted again this week that I spent yesterday (Saturday) sleeeeeping!  I went to be bout 11:30 or midnight on Friday night, woke up shortly before 10.  Took a nap around 2-4, and then went to be around 11:30 or midnight again!  I was really tired!  Thank God for the weekends!

Well, SwimSis should be back from the store soon and we are going to the Y.  Look for my next set sometime soon!

Weekend plans

Hey yo!  I am cruising well into the weekend.  I had a planned Friday night full of family fun and food, but unfortunately, I ended up by myself until I could get some snuggle time with my niece.  Oh well, all hope is not lost!

This weekend I am making this recipe.  Don't worry, I'm not eating those 1010 calories!  I'm deep conditioning my hair!  My sister says it's gross, but hey, I'm cheap and this sounds like a lot of fun in the form of flashbacks to food fights!  Also on the hygiene route, I'm going to attempt to use this:

I normally don't buy such stuff, but it was $1.25, why not?

I'm also going to get ready for the next week food-wise.  I'm one of those people who needs to have a plan on what to eat or it's a bad thing! 

Going back to Friday, things were out of control from the get go!  One of my first thoughts (behind "Ugh, why is it so early?" and "OMG I'm glad that that dream that I was in the Hunger Games was not real") was "I'M SO THIRSTY!!!". 

Obviously I had not had enough to drink Thursday night even though I drank enough water at work that day.  So in my crazy head all I wanted to drink was pop.  Now, I have only had pop a handful of times this year.  So I decided upon McDonalds to get a pop.  And this is where my life turns into a new version of "If you give a Mouse a cookie".  Of course now that I'm on a mission to get a pop, I want something to eat to.  Literally all the way to work I was debating back and forth!  And then when I got to McDonalds by my work, I saw the magical word: BACON.  If there's one thing I rarely turn down, it is bacon.  So yes I got a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese biscuit and a pop.  Of course, it tasted terrible and I threw the pop out a little while later.  As for the sandwich, I was so hungry in such a short time!  Oy, McD's really sucks and it took me so long to figure it out!  I then went and had this that I made:

It is an English Muffin with sausage, 1/2 slice American cheese, and an egg bake consisting of eggs, mushrooms, sweet peppers, rainbow chard, and a splash of milk.  It was fantastic!  I made one for breakfast everyday and they kept me full for so long.  Definitely making these next week too!
I can't wait for Monday so I can get back in the pool!
