Destroyed Apartment, Allergies and....(I am pretty sure I could eat a horse...)

I've had QUITE the past week; busy, busy, busy! I had a day off on Monday, but spent it with Todd and Cierra. My next day off is tomorrow.

My apartment is destroyed! I REALLY don't want to spend my day off cleaning it, so that is what I will do tonight.

The weather has (FINALLY) been phenomenal over the past few days. It is supposed to be 80 tomorrow and believe me I will be outside most of the day! With the warm weather and my first spring back in the midwest, my allergies are taking over my LIFE! My nose hasn't stopped running in a month; SWEAR!

This week is the third week of the leaning challenge for CrossFit (Paleo diet). That being said, I am pretty sure I could eat a horse. I've been so friggin hungry lately! I HATE, hate, hate being hungry.

I'm not trying to loose weight. I actually would like my weight to stay the same and just tighten up....yup that'll make me happy, but then again...I really AM already happy! :)

Guys and Flowers

Today at work, the girls and I were talking about relationships. I work with about thirty women

Guys, just so ya know...ALL girls turn into giddy little school girls when you send them flowers. The few women who said they don't like them....are LYING!

Holy Geeze!

Had a fantastic last couple of weeks. Finished my one-on-ones at CrossFit Omaha and joined the regular workouts earlier this week. I have been officially sore in some capacity the whole time...it's sorta fantastic.

I am doing a LEANing challenge that consists of eating a Paleo diet. I've been very creative, but cooking clean is a challenge that I excel at. Here is what I made the other night: Grilled chicken breast with a caribean jerk seasoning, topped with 1/2 avocado. On the side is half of a cucumber (diced) with about six sliced green olives and a little olive juice.
It is QUITE different from what I was doing when I was Natural Bodybuilding. NO synthetic murkiness like creatine or powdered proteins. I will say that my skin has never looked better..and my stomach has been calm for one week straight.

The weather has finally started to look sunny...more days than not. THANK GOODNESS!

Todd and I went for a ride at Tranquility on Tuesday that was fantastic, a little muddy in spots, but still soooo much fun!

And...last, but not least (drum roll please, you should all know I am officially OFF the market!

SO here's the deal...

So tonight, Todd told me, "So because you're doing CrossFit; you know everything now".

For the record, we were talking about the weather....and yes I know more than you think I do.

This struck a nerve, to say the least...grrrrr

Positive People, CrossFit Omaha, Sand Volleyball and Oh My GAWD I can't WAIT for the summer!

After a taste of the workout and wonderful, wonderful people at CrossFit Rio Rancho, I HAD to checkout CrossFit here in Omaha. These guys (and girls) DEFINITELY know their shit! I signed up, the day after I got back and will have my third one-on-one today! Only one more of those sessions, and I can join the regular workouts.

Honestly haven't been this siked about the gym since I competed for three years straight in Natural Body Building (five years ago).

The Spring Sand Volleyball league begins next month at Spikers, I am a permanent this time. Volleyball is my favorite team sport, though I haven't played on a league in a decade! Sports and Spirits..ha ha, it's gonna be a good summer!

The snow is finally melting here! I MAY get to hop on my brand new Specialized before weeks end, SO excited!

Last year was rough. I moved, had a break-up, got a new job, got promoted, got a new place, and am F I N A L L Y (one year later) on my feet again! I decided this year to ONLY surround myself with positive people, this is all a step in that direction and I couldn't be happier!

More Albuquerque

My long weekend in Albuquerque was FABULOUS! I got sunshine until the last day there, got to crash on Valency's comfy brown couch, catch up with all my girls (whom I do NOT want to loose track of...ever), and nearly voluntarily killed myself doing the Murph workout with Valency, (thanks to CrossFit Rio Rancho, and finally a mountain biking ride with Shane in Cibola National Forest (the foothills of the Sandia Mountains). Good times, haha


Sorry I haven't posted in a little bit. I work at one of those places that, when you get back from vacation....you must pay your dues! I had to work six days in a row! After a GREAT day off yesterday, I am finally back to the regular grind! Here are some more pictures from the 505!

Here is me with my sister from another mister, Valency!My Lancome girls, Monica and Annette.
