NYC Pictures

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 18:50:55 GMT

Sorry for the delay. Work has been insane and we have a two day managers meeting this weekend that should be horribly exciting. I had so much fun in NYC - I tried to see so much that my feet were battered and blistered by the time we left. Shopping was harder than I thought due to the sheer magnitude of places to shop. I got some cute clothes at H&M and Steve & Barry's. I am happy even though I wish I had found more cute work clothes. Oh well I got some pants at New York & Co after I got home, that is sort of the same thing right? The very best thing we did was go to see Rent on Broadway and eat at Bobby Flay's restaurant Bar Americain afterwards. It was amazing. Here is the link to my pictures http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelly_0722/sets/72157602597085041/ and my favorites are included in this post. Have a great week!

Fun, tired, will post pictures. I didn't get as many clothes as I wanted, but did get some things I really like. More later.

WE'RE GOING TO NEW YORK

Tue, 02 Oct 2007 13:22:02 GMT

You read right we are now going to New York, for sure. I am excited. I am not going to let any of this past weeks worries ruin our trip. Also we watched the first two episodes of Chuck last night and I think I am going to be a fan. In my opinion it's a little Alias mixed with a little Office. Who knew that combination would work?

Disappointment

I don't think we are going to be going to New York after all. There are currently a lot of changes going on at Tim's work and most likely this is going to result in no New York trip. I am beyond disappointed. I am proud of myself that I still went to the gym last night and tried my hardest even after I found out. At least now the getting in shape is really about me and nothing else. I do feel bad because I really wanted to go to NYC, but then I immediately think of people like Molly & Abraham (http://www.desiringgod.org/Blog/829/)that are going through more than I could even imagine and it makes my no NYC trip seem silly. I am just trying to keep in mind that even through life's toughest days there is a purpose beyond anything I can comprehend.

Posting Laziness

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 02:10:50 GMT

So I have been pretty lax about my posting, but fortunately I have not been as negligent on the workouts. I have kept it rolling. This past week has gone better than the couple weeks before. This week I made it to 3 classes at the Y, 1 step, 1 dance and 1 cardio/core. I did one night of pilates, one night of Denise Austin Burn Fat Fast and two days of walking in the neighborhood with husband and/or dogs. Only 2 weeks left to go before NYC and I think I have about 15 stores on my must go list. I might have to cut that down a bit or I might spend my day walking all over Manhattan.

I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and I loved it. It really was all that I hoped for and I can't wait until the last 2 movies come out. What a nerd.

We went to the Tennessee State Fair on Friday night and it was all the strange country craziness I could have hoped for. We saw three 'shows' - http://www.warhorsesoftheworld.com/index.html

Honestly you can't ask for much more than that for a Friday night.

Holiday weekend

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 12:46:31 GMT

Well I have been trying to keep up with my goal. The only day I can say that I definitely did not get in 30 minutes of exercise type activities was Monday. I did maybe 10 minutes of random stuff while Tim was on the phone before we watched Blades of Glory and then fell asleep. I guess 10 minutes is better than none. Hopefully the new season of The Biggest Loser will help me stay motivated.

Slowly, but surely

I have kept up with my workouts this week, but it has been much harder than the last two weeks. I think mainly because I missed the classes at the gym everyday but Monday so I had to go at it on my own generally after 10 at night on the hard living room floor. I have to make it to at least 3 days of classes at the gym this coming week. They are so much easier for me to do and a much longer/ better cardio workout than anything I do at home. I better start getting my bargain store list ready for NY because there is no way I am quitting now.

Out of town is hard

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 13:27:18 GMT

It was much harder to get my workouts in on the days we traveled to and from PA this past weekend. Thursday I took the stairs at work and did some ab stuff at 2:00 a.m. when I finally made it to bed. Friday roller blading at Presque Isle (WOOHOO). Saturday walking in North East and taking pictures. Sunday workout video at 10:00 p.m. after I got home (that Denise Austin needs to stop being so happy at 10 p.m.) Yesterday step class at the Y.

Still here

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 23:29:52 GMT

I'm still moving. Days 8-10 complete. Monday - Carmen Electra video, Tuesday - Aerobic Dance Class and Wednesday - AeroBox. So far, so good. Tomorrow I am leaving to go to PA with Crystal & Brian. I am hoping to complete my time while I am there rollerblading!

Day 7

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 22:40:48 GMT

Working out today was harder because Sunday is usually our day for laying around (after church). But I went for my favorite Carmen Electra (well the only one I have ever seen) video again. This time only 30 minutes, but I actually really like the strength and toning workout. Woohoo. I'm a little excited about going to PA this coming weekend for Danielle's baby shower.
