Keeping positive even when running into a few locked doors!

So let me start by saying one simple little thing………………… IT’S FRIDAY, IT’S FRIDAY! (Insert cartwheel & black flip here!) So as you may can tell I am pretty excited that this week is over. Not that is was a bad week or anything, but um yeah, I like my weekends more!

Well to give you all the re-cap, I was a good girl again today. I woke up a little before my alarm clock went off, so that was set at 4 a.m. (My poor hubby, but I think he is adjusting). So once I woke up I hit the floor & man was I perky. Even annoyed myself a little with how excited I was to start the day (it’s just a symptom that IT’S FRIDAY….sorry couldn’t resist). I let the doggies out to handle their business, and then I jumped on my spinning bike. I don’t know what the rest of you do, but I’m finding when I workout on equipment, I do much better when I have my mp3 player (very loud) and have a movie on (though I can’t hear it). I tried doing both of those without the other… but I like the combo. Anyways I totally soaked my workout shirt. This morning I barely set on the bike. I either stood up the whole time or did jumps. I did this for a total of 40 minutes and then did 30 minutes of weight training with our Cross Bow and free weights.

During my stretch I heard my big boy Brutice barking……… crap I forgot about the
dogs being outside. When I went to let them in, Brutice was all by himself. Woodrow managed to climb over the fence and took off. So I ran through the garage door, running down the street in the rain looking for my other dog. It was around 5:30 a.m. in the morning, and though the neighbors we have met are nice I didn’t want to start yelling hysterically in the streets, but I got nervous every time a car past. I was so worried that someone would hit my sweet boy. I ran back in the house, at this point my hubby was coming in the garage…asking what was going on. He raised his voice a bit, he wasn’t mad at me or anything…. Just not the way he wanted to start his morning (he is not a morning person…. at ALL). I guess from his voice being so loud Woodrow came back in the house, right to me (my sweet protector).

So now that this dilemma was resolved I started to do my abs routine. Hubby came through the garage to say goodbye as he was leaving for work. I got done with my workout, went to go back in the house……

You guessed it, the door was locked! I didn’t panic too bad, because though my 17 month old is sleeping in his crib, my grandmother had spent the night with us. She always likes sleeping on the couch so I went to the front door, and tried to lightly knock. Now I love my grandma….. no lie she has been my best friend every since I was a little girl, and though I love her very much the women is deaf! So 14 minutes go by, I tried knocking on the door, ringing the door bell, knocking on the window, going back to the kitchen door and knocking on it…………. Nothing. By this time some of my neighbors were leaving for work and let’s just say I felt like an idiot with my head rested on my own door begging it to open, soaking wet from the rain in some thin workout clothes….. I tried one more time, and Finally she came to my rescue. She was in the restroom, so bless her heart this whole time she was wondering what the heck the noise was. (For the record the baby slept through the whole ordeal).

Now work today…….Urgh……..non-stop! Let’s just say knowing that IT’S FRIDAY, got me through it! So though today had a few hiccups I kept a positive attitude. In the past if some small drama started that early in the morning it would derail the whole day, but not today!

Not sure what all I’m doing this weekend. The only thing I have planned for sure is the belly dancing class. I know I stated this yesterday, but I am so excited. My girlfriend brought me in a few hip scarves to choose from and some of the jingly things (sorry don’t know the names). I am hoping to get a few pictures of some of my new moves (=

Well everyone, please enjoy your weekend!

  9. Sounds like you got an extra workout chasing your dog down...I'm glad you found him...that really is the most terrifying feeling. And your blog makes me laugh...weight loss blogs can be quite intense, but yours always has a dose of humor on the side!

  16. Great job for doing such an intense workout! I really want to get a bike or a treadmill for inside my house, so that I can put on my iPod and play the TV too (I agree, it's the best!)

    I had to laugh at your story, what else could have gone wrong? I'm glad everything was resolved in the end. I freak when my dog runs out too! :)
