treadmill and internet time

ok first, before I forget, what the hell is bloglovin?

I'm walking, typing, and watching the very end of Biggest Loser.  Dang...Da girl won by one pound! Year of the women...That Gina? lady won the at home and then Danni the big prize. Maybe it's a sign...year of the women? Or maybe it's always been the year of the woman and we are just now standing up and taking our just desserts?

I really dig this treadmill workstation set up. Sadly this is the first time I've used it since setting it up.  I've had some kind of weird head thing going on...not sure if it's sinus/allergy or a cold.  I've been treating it like both and taken a lot of crap in an attempt to rid myself of it. I can finally breathe again and not have to blow my nose every two minutes. Of course now something is giving me hella gas...very nice...not!! Oh so smelly gas ugh.

Now that I'm feeling better I would appreciate if the weather would cooperate! Opening day is like 2 weeks away and I am not looking forward to being wet and pretending to be happy for 6 hrs.  Hubs LOVES opening day festivities and I REALLY want to make it a pleasurable trip for him...I can be such a downer when I'm grumpy (grumpy because I'm cold and wet).  I would also like to get outside more and walk the trails.  I didn't use to mind going out when it was cold and wet but dang...this last winter just didn't do it for me. 

alright so no real ideas are coming to me. Have a great week.

And before I go I'll leave you with another picture taken from the new camera...

My lil man Fredbird...

and the award goes to...

the Internet...formally known as the world wide web...for allowing me (and many others) to search for GENIUS items that make our lives easier. Or saves us from selling usable items because we never made them work to our advantage.

So friggin GENIUS...combining two things I LOVE...walking and working on the Internet. I come up with some GENIUS ideas while walking.  And now I can type them as I walk.

not the most beautiful work station (yet) but I do love it more than my work workstation.  Why did I not think of this sooner? So many blog posts I've missed writing because I didn't have a piece of paper or pen!!

And I'm at a 2.0 mph. Remember earlier this week I was  only at 1.3. and the workstation is removable for when I can jog again. too fluffy right now to jog.

how fast can you walk and type?

Trying something new today...I must be the queen of multitasking (even though studies say multitasking is not as efficient as once claimed)...today I am walking on my treadmill will attempting to type on my computer. I can tell you right now that I need to clip my nails. The dogs are looking at me "like really? We sleep on the couch until you have to go to work!!"

Anyhow...I knew I had to do something about being so "sedentary" while at home and why not try and type on my blog and walk (at least until I can re-make walking a habit). So far I have walked a quarter of a mile at a 1.3 pace. yes...that's slow. BUT I am walking...I know...sad.

Ok, trip to DC done. Had safety officer training; a two day training which one day was canceled due to snow. Figures that a place that has never canceled classes due to snow before has to cancel a day when I get there. They crammed two days into one and I'm thankful for the cd they sent with us. I now know that my office has a few violations that I need to correct. I enjoyed my trip even missing a day of training because I got to hang out with my sister from another mister and eat sushi till I busted at the seems. I also racked up some frequent flier miles in which I can exchange for short magazine subscriptions. Doesn't take much to please me.

My trip to Daytona the week before training was fun.  Would have been more fun had I not had to switch hotels so often.  Not too sure why my friend wanted to have two diff hotels to start with (which ended up being 3 due to a roach in our room EEWWW) BUT I'm taking over hotel reservations for next year. Matter of fact I've taken over the itinerary.  I need structure.  period.

which is what I've learned from my jet setting experiences these last few weeks. Itineraries, structure, organization are ALL my friends. And I enjoy their company. I'm not sure how I am going to keep myself in check..it's so easy to stray while at home. How do you folks stay on task/schedule? surely there is a "secret" you'd like to share???  Some things I have discipline for, others not so much. and time management is one of those "not so much". 

Haven't had much time to play with camera...the few pictures I've taken though are wonderful!!

Busy bust lazy lazy

Sadly, nothing really exciting to report. Ok well a couple of things. I splurged on a camera (Sony a57) and my annual trip to Daytona just took place. I totally love the camera and I'm already working on next years daytona a trip. Now I'm gettin ready to go to DC for work. I started a dietbet contest last week and have to lose 9 lbs by the 28th.  Totally do able. Of course it will require me to get off my duff. I've only signed up for one 5k so far this year but am considering a  half marathon in October (des Moines). There is a 3 race event schedule in the area I nines to get signed up for (2 5ks and a bike event). Oh and I just remembered two virtual races (jellybean virtual with 'run with jess' ). Cardinals baseball starts soon and so will my volunteer stuff. Which means busy busy.

Ok-gotta run. Have a great week.
