OOTD – last week

2 Comments

What I look like at 6AM about to go to the gym. Wearing my the lulu tee I ‘reviewed’.No need to search for “weight loss products that work” … just hit up the gym and motivate yourself!

You can see a small bit of the last painting I ever painted, up in the far right hand corner (I think 2 yrs ago?) for the Boyf’s birthday.

Sweater: Jacob on sale this winter
Tee: Reitmans (last year)
Pants: American Eagle
Watch: Fossil
Necklace: Etsy

I’m not sure when this was. I think last Wednesday if I recall correctly because my pants split open in the ‘gina area and I only notice at 3 o’clock. Almost time for me to go home. I had a HOLE in my crotch peoples!!!! These pants have been thrown away. I saw photos of me back in 2003 with these khakis on before. I think it was time. I just hate it when your favorite pants… die?

Love my giraffe shoes.

I ended up cleaning my shoes with some Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (first time I ever used that product). Let me tell you. It’s literally a God send. I’m definitely going to be purchasing more of these after I contact the company and ask if I can have some coupons! I cannot believe the difference it made in making my shoes more white. It was a miracle. I kept giggling while I was cleaning my shoes and ran over to the Boyf and was like “ooooooooo — looook!”

You can literally see the difference in this pic. Right? Tell me you can! :)

Tuesday dual run

3 Comments

I went and did my running class outside today! We keep taking different routes which is great for keeping things different. I live about 3km’s away from work and the gym and guess where we ran today? Right by my apartment building. I totally wanted to stop and go in… and sleep. Sort of. But it was only half way through, so I had some juice left in me.

We ended up doing 4½ km’s where we ran for 3 minutes and walked for 1. ¾’s of the way through I was getting tired of it (since we just looped back at the half way mark). I kept up the pace with the 5 people running ahead of me, and by the end of it, we couldn’t see all the others + the instructor! Guess it’s safe to say we were clippin’ along! I love that feeling.

Apparently by June (June 20 will be our first 5k together) we should be able to do a 25 minute 5k! That’s my goal, yo!! See on the right and bar there? I haven’t ran a race since 2008. Eek, hehe.

Can you believe that I decided to run more once I was done with the run outside? I have no idea how miles converts over to kilometers, but I ended up running 2.0 miles in 21:08 on the treadmill today, besides Scott. He had a half hour left of his endurance run and I decided to “waste time” by jogging too lol. It was a brutal run for me inside on that treadmill, mainly because I was completely pooped by the end of my 4k and I just pumped out another 2 miles (# km’s??). I ended up running at a 5.5/mph (I think that’s a 10:5-something minute mile? Then every four minutes I ran at a speed of 7.0 on the treadmill for 60 seconds. It was bad at the end of mile 2, I kept having to grab my stomach from having a stitch.

Copying Susan‘s way of documenting her run. This is mine (well, on the treadmill anyway)

Minutes Speed – MPH Incline
0-4 5.5 0
4-5 7.0 0
5-9 5.5 0
9-10 7.0 0
10-14 5.5 0
14-15 7.0 0
15-18 5.5 0
18-19 7.0 0
19-20 5.5 0
20-25 3.5 0

Then a 5 minute cool down to bring my crazy heart rate back to normal.

So who’s watching the playoffs? I am – kind of. Boyfriend is an Ottawa Senators fan, so it’s on the teeveeeee now. They’re losing! :(

C’MON SENS!

My eats

3 Comments

What I’ve been eating the last few days. I think tonight I’ll be making the pita pizzas with chicken.

Mini quiche in cupcakes. Will be making these again! They have 1 whole egg per cupcake holder thing. Some broccoli, mushrooms, cheese, and red pepper! I served it with a salad and potato pancakes.

I just need a better idea on how to keep the eggs from sticking to the paper. Maybe non-stick spray would help?

Paninis are the best comfort food for me right now. I just dislike the fact that it scratches the roof of my mouth causing uncomforts  while eating :( Though not as uncomfortable as googling colon cleansing reviews with your pop’s around! What!?
