Mid Sleep Cardio

So I’ve  been working night shifts non stop – mixed with day shifts and however much work I can get. And this happens this morning:

About 10:30 am, my neighbor knocks on my door, I of course answer it pant-less. “Your dog ran away” I’m half asleep, and am like bitch you woke me up and I need coffee. I finally understand what she just said and am like #^@% . I proceed to awkwardly say “thanks” and mumble “mother fucking nuts” as I walk away to find pants.  

Finding her wasn’t hard though, she was at the neighbors house smelling her dogs. Though I did have to catch her which involved a little cardio, woo. I probably looked like a lanky giraffe trying to catch her all half asleep and shit. Hilarious to see.

In the end of all this shenanigans I learnt my lesson, to double-check Dutchess chain to make sure no one sees me in bathing suit bottoms again, because that’s a sore sight for the eyes.

Peace

Tuesday Ten

1) The most cutest thing ever that happened today was when I woke up, my dog was sleeping on her back in between me and my boyfriend. Just like a human. With her little paws in the air. Though I couldn’t get a picture of this due to the fact that when I moved she flopped over. But some serious dose of morning cuteness.

2) I have all my bills paid for February  Except for Koodo and Hydro. Which I don’t know how much they will be or when they will come in. Having my bills paid in time is all thanks to the January challenge which has done some serious advantages  for me and my financial progress. I guess you can say.

3) I entered in  Carla’s super duper cute give away, which I hope I win. It would be an early birthday present.

4) I need a new job, very soon and I am presently and actively looking for one. I do have one but I am just at that point that I need to break off from it. I have burns down my legs from the chemicals we use to clean the machines. I have sustained from a broken finger and multiple cuts and bruises. I think it is time to move on a let go, and even though this factory job has paid for almost everything I have I need something new. I feel like I have worked my due and deserve an upgrade. I’m not saying an office job but maybe something that is a little less hard on me, the the age of 30 I’ll be hunched over and crippled.

5) I got flowers today 🙂 thing #2 to make my day.

6) I’m planning a private yoga session with a few classmates as a relaxation before I turn 21. I hate getting older and ALWAYS stress over my birthday so i thought it would be a nice relaxing way to calm down before I turn 21. (Then I’ll party it up  Have fun :))

7) I have been working out 5 days a week with a few different people, I quite enjoy it too.  Motivating and receiving motivation, I got back into Zumba and am just enjoying my afternoons off by getting into shape 🙂

8) My end of January goal is to have once again 400 views and presently I am at 376.

9)I actually have a fucking  Savings account! Well I have always had a savings account but It actually has a couple hundred in it. I’m astonished at how this January challenge has really helped me save a tone! (Well not a tone but a couple hundred!)

10) For some reason, I feel like I have reconnected with plenty of people, for example: my aunt, then I babysitting the 2 coolest kids ever, I have gained 3 new training partners, and me and my bf are going strong   I feel like my social bubble is ever developing even though I lack a few persons from it and really I’m starting to think it is for the better. Sometimes you need to change and move on and honestly that’s what I’m doing and I don’t feel an inch of regret. Forgive and then forget. (Wisdom of the day)

Stay beautiful,

Peace.

What have I done?

So today’s blog is going to be about my summer / fall goals and why I’m up at 3am writing this blog. First off most of my summer I’ve spent working 60 or more hours a week, yea I know it’s CRAZY and I’m just about at my limit for working as well. And all of the shifts I’ve been basically working are night.  So that is why I’m up right now. But I have to get back to day shifts before Friday. I have no idea how I’m going to do this.  Lots of tea? Coffee? Mhmm defiantly. But besides work I’ve had a little list of things I’ve been wanting to get done or buy or do for the summer and upcoming fall. And I will post them in point form with a either a complete, changed, never mind or to be done following them…

• Get my Fitness degree (in progress)

• Get hair done (Complete :D)

• Get my puppy fixed (To be done when she’s 8 months)

• Fix my car or buy a new one… (Obviously haven’t done either yet but I’m planning on buying a new one and scraping this one that I have now)

• Buy  a bike and start biking (Not done, probably won’t get done- instead purchasing a treadmill)

• Start my book (Now I have 2 in mind and haven’t started writing but have an idea of characters and setting and plots. Book 1 – Dutchess and her puppy/ dog years. More for advice and humor. Book 2 – ah, this one is a top secret 🙂 but I’ll give a unobvious hint “Halloween & les monsters”

• Start Fundraiser #3 ( Last year in school I did 2 for 2 different organizations: SPCA de Valleyfield and La Bouffe Additionell) And this year I want to do 2 more for 2 other organizations that is part of this lower Montreal region. I hand in mind a school supplies fundraiser for kids that go to Heritage and the French elementary school.  And maybe a fun day for the less privilege or a weekly FREE activities day (like Saturday) for all younger students. A day like this would promote having funny & being active& making friends or making stronger relationships in younger kids. I can’t even begin to explain how vital it is for children to have a strong social life; it affects them, their self esteem, and their self worth in a group and will highly affect how they will be when they are older in the real world. Remember were always stronger in numbers.  And this theory can be applied to most aspects of the human life.  *** Sorry for going all Psychological on you guys, it’s defiantly a high interest for mine.***

• AH, a new Phone. This is something I need every 5-6 months. Phones are a love hate relationship. I love them, but when someone else pisses me off I end up throwing them (the hate being they hate me 🙂 if a phone had feelings) I want an Iphone or a black berry. And I’ve narrow it down to a black berry due to my phone commitment issues, Who cares if you throw your black berry –psh. But some people will look at you with death eyes if you were to throw your iphone !

• And then there are all of those other goals, like stop drinking coffee(tried, failed), save money( I have :)), go shopping(haha this is a never ending goal of my life.), get a tattoo(When I graduate college :)), go to a concert ( Lights :)), stop being stress (This is a working progress) Fix my house (Can you even fix a house in this type of state? HA HA) Get a tone of hours (Yep, done, now I’m burnt) and lastly be happy. (This is a, um, working progress that connects tightly with my stress& Anxiety & school & money& .. life. Ugh.)

I have many other goals and things I’d like to get done but honestly I have a list of about 200, starting with the dishes to do.  But these are more important and specific.

Do you guys set goals?

Do you regularly keep track of them?

Do you believe in always bettering yourself?

Mother Nature are you okay?

 

So I live in Quebec, Canada. And for the last few days it has been amazing. Tan worthy. Walking around in flip-flops worthy.  Wearing short-shorts worthy. AND even Swimming worthy. YES. March.  I know you must think I’m crazy depending on who you are, if you aren’t from Canada and think we are supposed to be covered in snow, we’ll we are supposed to be but nope Mother Nature wants us to bring them sunglasses out early.  

There is one small problem. ALL my summer cloths and shoes and EVERYTHING are in my storage while we are redoing my house (which we are on the last coat of painting and then I can move back in ^.^) See that wouldn’t be that bad of a problem If I could get to it without having to move a whole house worth of stuff. Oh and it gets worst I have only two dresses out and everything else is like winter-ish stuff like thick sweaters and Fuzzy leggings and Whooly-Man socks, Yes I went there. And yes they are Trev’s, and he does know but he isn’t proud of me. Guy’s socks are just so much warmer; you girls know what I’m talking about? You go to Arden’s and buy cute socks and your feet freeze, you have to wear like three pairs to be able to feel your toe’s after a small walk.

Idealy this is what I need: Sunglasses, Shorts, Gladiator Sandals. Sadly I have none. 😦

So I have no summer clothes this is a HUGE deal, I don’t know what to do.  I have a budget which allows me to not spend money on myself Because I already spent that part of the budget for March, and April is so so so far away. So I have come up with one solution, borrowing 🙂 You know where I’m heading … I mean swap for a few days. I don’t have any shorts or skirts so the last thing to do is when you’re in need resort to a good friend who completely understands what you’re going through.

It was so nice out that I got to go for a small jog and am motivated to getting my body back in shape. Thanks to the help of Dutchess I’m always running after her, but that’s because I’m trying to show her how to play fetch, though I secretly think she just likes to see me run and get the ball. She is probably thinking to herself “Haha now you know how it feels to go fetch, do you like it? Huh?” Haha I know insanity right?

So my goals for this week are:

• To run 5 days x 30 mins .

• To make sure the SPCA fundraiser for dog leashes does amazing at school.

• To borrow a pair of shorts.

• And work some odd job to give me cash fast,

• And to get all this homework done, it is seriously taking over my life. You miss three days and suffer for weeks. Bleh.

• Get my car back. ..

My car that’s something you guys have been out of the loop about. Well let’s just say if the mechanic was a doctor my car was just brought back to life. I have so many engine problem which included two leaks which lead to no Prestone which lead to overheating, then all my sensory’s broke, then some of those fuse thingy’s went. Now that I think about it that all happened in one day, maybe this death is faster than what I thought. I need a new car.

(I would insert a picture her bu that would be devastating :s)

I think I’m done here for the day, Maybe I’ll be back here with some good news like I won a car from Roll up the Rim at Tim Hourtons, ooo how I wish this 🙂  or the TV would be my next best option.  Can’t you tell I’m Canadian eh?
