The State of NSC- September 2011

A monthly take on my world…..a few days late this month.

Weight: 205. My goal is to get below 200 before my birthday in December. Totally doable….depending on how much the surgery messes me up.

Current Feeling: Sick. For our anniversary CP gave me his cold. Boooo. I have had tons of sinus pressure, headaches, achy joints and a runny nose since Tuesday. I’m hopped up on Dayquil and can’t stop sneezing!

Running Stats (taking a break until probably the new year from running to rest my heels)
Total Miles Run: 0
Time Spent Running: 0:00
Longest Single Run: 0

Current aches and pains: Hot flashes and headaches are my main complaint these days. The hot flashes happen at the weirdest times. Last weekend it got down to the 40s outside. At 2am I had a hot flash and HAD to turn on the all-house fan and open up the window a bit more. For about 30 minutes I had trouble falling asleep because I WAS SO HOT. Meanwhile CP is barely warm enough under our duvet cover.

Current Favorite Song: “Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster the People

Looking forward to: The long weekend. Even CP has the day off on Monday so we will get some extra time to get the winter garden set up!

Annoyed about: My passive-aggressive coworker. She was reassigned to another office, but now something is going on behind the scenes that my boss won’t talk to me about. There is a distinct possibility that she may not leave now and I won’t get her work. Meanwhile, I thought that we were friends….but now I am finding out various things like her efforts to keep me off projects. At one point last week I was ready to send her a seriously b*tchy email but had to calm myself down. She has been with the company for 30 years and has a lot of friends here. Even though she really does need to get put in her place, I fear as soon as I say something she will get all of her long-term friends (with whom I have good working relationships with and often need something from) to not help me when I ask them for information. So if she stays it is going to suck even more because I will not get her work AND I will have to see her/deal with her on a daily basis and know that she is trying to sabotage me!

Proud about: Making it through Jillian Michael’s new DVD- Killer Buns and Thighs (Level 1). It is set up like the 30 Day Shred with three levels, going through a circuit two times before moving on to the next one. My legs were SCREAMING after finishing the workout.

How are you feeling with the start of this new month?

I love the beginning of the month. It always seems so full of hope and promise! Fall is one of my favorite times of the year too. I need to try that Jillian Michaels one!

I was thinking about getting the Jillian Buns & Thighs - I've got a bunch of her other videos and love her Ripped in 30. She's a devil, for sure, but her craziness motivates me.
