I Am Grateful…

For my niece that makes me laugh whenever she does the Robot (which I taught her)

For my family that is always supportive and loving

For Koko loco who has loved me unconditionally for the past 15 years of my life

For having a home to lay my head down at night

For having a meal every single day and never going hungry

For my body that each and every day surprises me with its capabilities

For having a job (even when I complain about the jefe)

For this blogging community that has accepted me with open arms

For that I am Grateful.

What will you be grateful for mañana???

I knew that I had no energy to Workout when I got home so I decided to do laundry. Before heading upstairs, I double checked the laundry room to make sure the LARGE washing machine was empty and it was… SCORE! I ran upstairs took the sheets off the beds, gathered all the towels and clothes and carried my 30.4 lb bag (yeah I weighed it) down four flights and one more flight down to the basement, only to find the machine in use WTF!!!!!!! I was not going to go back up again with that bag so I tossed some of the things in a smaller machine and paced like a mad woman waited patiently for my neighbor to remove their things from the machine. I didn’t get done with all of my laundry until 8ish grrrrr

I WAS able to get the LARGE dryer… as my neighbor rolled his eyes at me and grunted while he tossed his clothes in the smaller dryers. It COULD have been his but he came down 15 minutes AFTER his clothes were washed so Karma screwed him over (gotta love that Karma) so I tossed everything in there for over an hour so I could run upstairs and make din din.

This is for you Luigi lol. I had WW Pasta with Mushrooms, Onions, and Red Pepper in Peanut Butter, Sesame Teriyaki Sauce, and Chili Bean Sauce. I love this combo!

I was too tired and felt under the weather so I skipped an evening workout.

This morning I almost didn’t workout again but I decided to do Turbo Jam Cardio Party at a lower intensity and managed to complete the whole workout and burned 394 Calories.

For Breakfast I just had Chobani Honey Yogurt with 1/2 a Banana, and Peanut Butter with my usual Coffee. My friend in California loves to hear me say coffee…he says that I sound like such a NY’er… “Cawfee”
