Fun Friday

June 15, 2012 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

I’ve been watching Dawson’s Creek. I’ve only seen a few episodes when I was younger but now I can finally watch it all. I see so many familiar faces who weren’t famous then but are now big stars. Weird huh?

Fun Friday because Friday’s are meant to be fun. Some funny and cute things I’ve found on the web.

Whole Foods

June 14, 2012 by Mellie Dee 1 Comment

Whoops. Late on posting this …

45 min cardio

All I did was run up and down the stairs, jumping jacks, and run in place.

I was so close to skipping today because some things happened pushing my plans back. When I told my sissy this, she said that it’s not too late. Thanks for the motivation!

Got it done!

I went to Whole Foods by myself for the first time. Bought parsnips, turkey sausage, carrots, broccoli, and sweet potatoes. I’m excited for my meals tomorrow! Smile Smile

Oh I found out that a few days ago was my 3rd birthday of the year. Apparently it’s some Chinese calendar thing. Cool huh? Where’s my present? haha

Last day of the week! Push through everyone!! Open-mouthed smile

What I want Wednesday–Inaugural

June 13, 2012 by Mellie Dee 3 Comments

Workout

30 min cardio
Arm: 5 lb. weight; 3 sets of 12
– Slow Burn Bicep Curls
– Pushups
– Tricep Extensions
– Shoulder Presses
Ab: 3 sets
– Plank – 35 sec hold
– Leg Raises – 12
Leg: 3 sets
– Forward Lunges – 12 right, 12 left
– Squats – 10
– Wall Sits – 30 sec hold

This time around it was a little tougher. I woke up pretty sore but I still pushed through. “Pain is only temporary!”

What I Want Wednesday

I’m not one to do “What I Ate Wednesday” because in all seriousness, who wants to see eggs mixed with some kind of vegetable every Wednesday? You can see that on my Instagram pretty much once a day. Find me on Instagram (@cripple15). I promise that’s not all I post …

So I’m doing my own thing. I’m pretty sure that this has been done before. If so, my bad. I just thought about it as I sat here surfing the web. I want a lot of things. But need nothing. I have everything I need in life to survive. But I thought this would be fun.

Here goes:

“I Pick You” Guitar Pick | $?

If I ever date someone, I would want this as a gift. It’s so cute! I’ll never use it though. Don’t want to mess it up.

Camera Lens Mug | $11.25

Don’t have the money for a DSLR. This would be the closest thing to it …

Custom Stamped Sterling Silver & Suede Wrap | $36.00

I’d probably get it to where it says “Shut up and run”. And I don’t think $36 is worth it for this … Some people are ridiculous with prices.

Bra Case | $38.49

So damn smart. I wish I had the brain to come up with these things. Then I’d be the one who’s rich!

Food sounds so good right now. Shower time. Then dinner!! Open-mouthed smile

Happy Hump Day!

Advice Needed

June 12, 2012 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Wedding Invitations

Who’s been to a wedding or had a wedding? I need some advice.

IMG_20120612_221340

Another wedding invitation and no boy to go with.

I can actually invite someone to this one … so should I ask someone?

This time it’s my old high school best friend, Alyssa’s, wedding. Of course like everyone else, we got distant and we made our own friends so I don’t know who she’s inviting to the wedding. I don’t know if I would know anyone there but her and her family. I’m a little scared that if I don’t invite someone to come with, I will not know anyone. But then again if I do invite someone, they might get bored. Plus I’m afraid to ask someone. Bleugh. Don’t know what to do.

Workout Grind

I went to bed at 5am. Yes. I am horrible. I was hoping to have 7 hours of sleep and wake up around 12pm. But that didn’t happen.

Instead I woke up at 7am. Why?

Because Rocky needed to use the bathroom and eat breakfast so he jumped on my bed and licked my face.

Wonderful.

I’m not as sore as I thought I’d be when I woke up. Either the workout is not as intense as it should be or I didn’t give it my all like I should have. I’m sure I’ll feel the pain later on in the week.

Today’s workout:

45 min cardio

Done.

I was doing my outside Power Walk when it started to rain.

I snapped this picture before that happened. What is up with people these days?! I would not want my kids to see stuff like this … if and whenever I do have kids.

IMG_20120612_020751

My 3 week plan all written out along with my Cool Down workouts. This makes me more accountable. Whoop! 19 days to go!

IMG_20120611_135225IMG_20120611_231237IMG_20120612_205414

I’ve been eating scrambled eggs with veggies and then lately adding avocados in. Broccoli the first day. Cauliflower the next. Then Spinach because I want to be like Popeye.

IMG_20120612_082920

Yum! 86% is very bitter but it’s so sweet in my mouth. One square = great dessert!

Let me know if you can answer my wedding question. It’ll be much appreciated!

Workout Grind

June 12, 2012 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Starbucks Date

With Michelle!

But before that, I was at Walgreens and I bumped into an old Junior High/High School peer, Victoria Z. She’s grown up to a beautiful women. We caught up for a bit and then went our separate ways. It’s always nice to see old schoolmates doing well.

Anyway, I went to Michelle’s workplace and then we walked to Starbucks. We talked for an hour and a half about jobs and boyfriends her boyfriend and the one I like that won’t ever be. Stupid distance. He probably doesn’t even remember me anymore. Embarrassed smile

I’m split. I love being home because I get to see my friends here more but I miss everyone in SA. Everyone who I’ve learned to truly open up with and has made a big impact in my life. In the back of my mind I know I’ll never see 1/3 of them ever again. Sad? It’s the truth.

Workout Grind

I have 3 weeks until Hong Kong so I’m trying to get ready for it. All that walking in the heat is going to kill me.

I found a 3 week workout that’s suppose to get you in shape for Spring Break but Spring Break … Hong Kong … same difference, right?

30 minute cardio
Arm: 3 sets of 12 with 5 lb. weight
     – Tricep Extensions
     – Bicep Curls
     – Pushups
     – Shoulder Presses
Ab: 3 sets
     – Plank – 30 sec hold
     – Crunches – 12 center, 12 left, 12 right
Leg: 3 sets
     – Forward Lunges – 12 right, 12 left
     – Squats – 10
     – Wall Sits – 30 sec hold

For the cardio, since I have a sprained ankle, I power walked for 30 minutes with Rocky.

It was a struggle with the leg workouts but I powered through. Especially with the wall sits. I will do those amazingly one day!

I didn’t do a warm-up but I did do a cool down.

Calf Raise Down
Lying Straight, Leg to Chest
Stretch Lying
Toe Grab
One Leg Over
Looking at Ceiling
Lying Trunk Twists

Now I feel so powerful. Twenty more days to go!

Cannot wait for my ankle to heal so I can do my runs! Smile
