[ITS GROOVY, BABY]

[LAST WEEK]
CAE DID GREAT WHEN I DROPPED HIM OFF AT THE KIDS CLUB AT LA FITNESS. I THOUGH HE WOULD HAVE FREAKED WHEN I LEFT, BUT HE DID GREAT. THE LADY SAID HE FREAKED IN THE MIDDLE AND CRIED, SO SHE WALKED AROUND WITH HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE. BUT WHEN I WENT TO GET HIM AN HOUR LATER HE WAS BUSY AT THE JUNGLE GYM HAHA. ALAS, HE DID RUN TO ME CRYING LIKE 'WHY DID YOU LEAVEEEE MEEE?!' IM HOPING IT WAS JUST THE TIMING OF EVERYTHING (TIRED/DINNER TIME COMBO MAKES FOR ONE GRUMPY IRRITABLE BOY).

[FITNESS ASSESSMENT]
WENT AWESOME . THE LITTLE BODY FAT MACHINE SAID I WAS 19%, NOT THE 27% IT SAID LAST WEEK... I WOULD LOVE TO DO IT AGAIN TO SEE IF ONE OF THOSE NUMBERS WAS A FLUKE... BUTTTT I DONT WANT TO PRESS MY CHANCES. 19% SOUNDS AWESOME HAHA. THE WORKOUT I GOT FROM THE TRAINER WAS AWESOME. A REAL EYE  OPENER ON HOW MUCH I NEED TO WORK ON STRENGTH TRAINING. THE TWO DAYS AFTER I COULDN'T LAUGH, COUGH, SNEEZE, OR LIFT MY ARMS WITHOUT BEING IN PAIN HAHA. SOOOO YES, NEW GOALS IN THAT AREA FOR SURE!

[WEEKEND]
I HAD AN AWESOME WORKOUT GROOVE GOING LAST WEEK. I DEFINITELY SLACKED FROM FRIDAY ON. BAD JEN!
I WAS SOOOOO SORE FROM THURSDAY THAT I SLACKED FRIDAY AFTER WORK. AND THIS WEEKEND WAS JUST TOO BUSY : / (I ALWAYS MESS UP ON WEEKENDS! ARG!)
I KNOW. I KNOW. I DIDN'T HAVE AN EXCUSE. I NEED TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT THIS WEEK TO GET BACK INTO MY GROOVE. ITS HARD BECAUSE JOSH'S CAR ISN'T RUNNING SO ONE CAR BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE WITH TWO SCHEDULES SOMETIMES MAKES THINGS DIFFICULT. SO TODAY I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO RUN INSTEAD OF THE GYM BECAUSE HE HAS TO TUTOR. GYM DEFINITELY TOMORROW. NO GYM THURSDAY... ARG (WHICH IM SUPER SAD ABOUT BECAUSE THAT WAS A YOGA DAY! I MISSED IT THURSDAY BECAUSE OF MY FITNESS ASSESSMENT, THEN NO CLASS MONDAY BECAUSE OF LABOR DAY.... NEXT MONDAY IT IS!).

[IN OTHER NEWS...]
JOSH AND I LOOKED AT MY FINANCES. NEVER FUN, BUT DEFINITELY NECESSARY. ITS HARD BECAUSE I DONT FEEL LIKE IM A CRAZY SHOPPER OR SPEND MY MONEY ON DRUGS OR ANYTHING.... ITS REALLY JUST THAT I HAVE A LOT OF BILLS, IM FEEDING 3 PEOPLE, AND MY CAR SUCKS GAS.

THE PLAN...
I LITERALLY CANNOT EAT OUT. I USUALLY DO ABOUT 3 TIMES A MONTH... BUT I REALLY SHOULD JUST HAVE A "BROKE" MENTALITY (WHICH I ALREADY DO.... HAHA.)
NEXT STEP:
GET RID OF MY CAR :o(  I STILL OWE QUITE A HANDFUL ON IT, IT USES WAY TOO MUCH GAS FOR THE AMT I DRIVE IT. AND A LOT OF MY LIGHTS HAVE BEEN COMING ON (TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE, AIRBAG...) AND I STILL HAVE MY UNSOLVED VACUUM LEAK (WHICH IN THEORY SHOULD BE CHEAP TO FIX... BUT EXPENSIVE IN LABOR TO FINDDD IT). JOSH THINKS IT MIGHT JUST GO DOWN HILL FAST. I BELIEVE HIM. WHICH SUCKS BECAUSE I LOVEEE MY JEEP.
SO YEAH. YOU KNOW ME AND CARS. IM QUITE OBSESSED. SO OF COURSE IT IS ALL I AM THINKING OF LATELY. I WANT SOMETHING PRETTY CHEAP (IF I WANT TO SAVE ON A CAR I MIGHT AS WELL CUT COST IN THREE AREAS: AMT FINANCED, GAS, AND INSURANCE, INSTEAD OF JUST CUTTING COST IN GAS.
IM THINKING SUBARU IMPREZA WAGON. WE SHALL SEE, DEPENDING IF I FIND ONE I LIKE IN MY PRICE RANGE WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF MILES. (WISH ME LUCK!).

ALRIGHTY I GUESS THATS ALL I HAVE FOLKS. ILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THIS WEEK STARTS OFF. I THINK BY THE END OF THE WEEK I MIGHT WEIGH MYSELF TO SEE IF IVE MADE ANY PROGRESS...

THANKS FOR LISTENING,
