Hey Hey!
Guess what I did all weekend? Compile data! Wohoo!
Yes...I certainly worked my ass off this weekend. My wondeful J kept me from going crazy with the endless numbers. I took time to make pumpkin oatmeal muffins (yum) but for the most part I was chained to a computer. I took a brief break saturday to get a few things to wear to the conference (most of my clothes are too baggy to be professional) and found a bunch of things I love. I'm used to not finding anything I like, so I got some shorts and shirts and a few pairs of pants in the end. It's nice to have a few more things to choose from and I'll definitely look professional at the conference.
I gave myself the opportunity to back out of a workout this AM if I needed to since I was up until 2 AM finishing my data (begone foul numbers) but I felt up to it for whatever reason, so I came in today to do my lower body workout A plus abfest and 29 minutes HIIT on the bike. Admittedly my HIIT was a bit lackluster, but I came in and that's the main thing. It felt good to burn off all the stress I've filled up my brain with over the weekend with the constant work work work work.
I have much left to do with all my numbers and things to catch up on before I leave for my meeting, so I must be off. If I keep moving today I should be OK until I can get home and have a nap! :)
Have a good day everybody...
I began this blog while learning to run and training for my very first race! Now I'm just your friendly neighborhood mad scientist still trying to live a healthy life...day by day :)

One out of three isn't too bad
Whew! It was a long weekend here, and I still managed to get a little relaxing in. I worked all saturday on my MSc, but on sunday J and I spent some the day doing errands and chores after a fantastic lazy breakfast. Most importantly taking everything out of our screened in sun porch, hosing it all down and washing and mopping out the deck. All is clean and back in to complete the set-up - our deck is now summer ready for another year. I cannot even say how happy I am about that. We live out on our deck in the summer...read, eat, even nap there. We can be out in the rain and there are no bugs...it's heaven. I'm so glad we had a nice day to haul everything out to wash and sun dry everything. We even got out into the bright shiny world to see some funk on sunday night - Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings :) She was like a female James Brown...I loved it. It was nice to have a pint and relax and dance.
Unfortunately I spent most of monday working on my MSc data, but at least I got a lot done. The fact that the weather was miserable helped - it wasn't like I could have done a lot else really. I admit I had a bit of a moody fit before I settled in to work, but I'm chalking it up to hormones...mixing PMS and stress is never good. I kept it together in the end and didn't eat my way out of it, and managed to have a productive day in spite of myself...so far, so good.
This morning I was up and in the gym again. I did my routine with step ups, arm and back work, one legged deadlifts and squats and 30 sweaty minutes of HIIT biking. I feel really good. A healthy breakfast and good packed lunch and I'm here, ready to go again. I'm starting to get excited about my trip to Vancouver in 2 weeks. I just have to get all my data together by then!! Eep...
Hope you all had a fantastic long weekend and it didn't rain on you too much.

Jump up jump around
Well I didn't run this morning. Why? Well I was in at work by 6:25. Yeah rediculous I know. I rode my bike here at least, but I'm not getting the fitness I'd like out of the day. Tommorrow for sure.
Right now I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off getting 2 days work in one to fix someone elses emergency which has somehow become my own.
*sigh*
Oh well, after work and then a meeting is done *then* I get to go out to a movie with friends...I think it's a cheesy one. Should be a fun time - I may even end up having (shh...don't tell anyone) popcorn for supper, as I don't think there will be time to eat before the film...
Mmmm...popcorn supper...what could be wrong about that? :P
Have a good day all :)
