Sammer's Birthday

I dont have much to write . . . but wanted to share my yesterday with ya'll . . .



It was a big day in this household . . . my dog had a birthday, it was his 5th . . . on the 5th. Big deal. So it started with buying some sweaters for the dog. Its winter, and even though he has lots of fur/hair . . . sweaters make him happy. 

Next up was getting him into his sweaters. You'd think he hates dressing up . . . but truth be told, this dog LOVES dressing up, always very open to putting things on and keeping them on. Its a glorious thing.

Next there might have been some cupcake making . . . he gets cake once a year . . . and yes its a bit on the spoiled side, however I dont have kids therefore I think I'm entitled to doing this for my dog, up until the day I get called the "crazy dog lady" . . . which might have happened today.

Happy Birthday Sammers :)

Hope your day was as great as his.

Complaining . . .

This posting is just clearly me complaining . . .
This is me right at this moment

I don't know what it is about me, but guys don't seem to want to meet me. I'm not rude (most of the time) I'm a good conversationalist (majority of the time) and I know how to have a good time (always, ask my friends). However when its comes to new guys wanting to actually meet me they just cant seem to pull the trigger . . . and if they do and they arent attracted to me then they just disappear. This is what makes me angered . . . as if I'm not mature enough to accept the fact that someone isn't interested in me. I'm tired of connecting with guys who seem to punk out of confrontation . . . bah!

This is what I'm going to be doing tonight . . .

This is sad baby crying . . . and soon it'll be sad Cheri crying.

2013 . . . Heres to a new start

Ok . . . once again I'm gonna have at it with my blog. Cheri do you care if people read it? . . not really, just want somewhere to post information about ME!

I have to thanx my calender this morning for letting me know this important fact

Many people like to "ring in the new year" the night before . . . but I think we should all celebrate it when its actually arrived and we've had a chance to already (first day) break our resolutions. So with that thought in mind, here is how I celebrated the first day of the year.

A couple of friends came over

 And then some how a few bottles of wine got opened up . . . and Dutch Blitz came out.

This game . . . Dutch Blitz, super fun if you want to really test your friendship with people and see how far you can push them. I'm not gonna lie, mean words might have been tossed out last night, friendships were tested, yelling happened and hurt feelings might have risen out of people. But all in all a fun time was had by all. 

:) Thanx to my friends for coming over and having a mini new year celebration. 

Trish . . . I still think you're pretty ;)

Day 11

(I might do this twice today)

Yesterday was a Cheri day . . . I didnt do much physical stuff, but I did some much needed resting :)

The day started off with

Coffee :)




















Then I spent a few hours with one of my favorite people

My mother :)




















Then I came home and just relaxed

- watched a favorite movie (burlesque)
- put together (or started) a puzzle
- played with the Sammers


The day wasn't about eating, nor was it about thinking about when I would get into the gym. It was just about me :)

Day 10 (but should be 12)

I feel bad . . . I havent written in this for like three days and yesterday people actually decided to start reading ;)

This week . . . wow . . . every day was a 10+ hour work day. Which means late dinners and super tired feeling, which results in little to no workouts.

However . . . I"m turning that into a positive . . . the plus side
+ I didnt watch my Hulu shows, so this morning (Saturday) I had hours of guilty pleasures to watch ;)
+ Yesterday I went to the gym and was able to run over 13 minutes, it was greatness . . . I did 30 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of that was jogging . . . I loved it. Made me realize how much I enjoy running.

I'm having a difficult time monitoring my eating, and I really really need to get on an eating plan but I'm finding it soo soo very hard. I love carbs and I love junk food, I dont know how to cut it all out with craving it and I dont know how to eat it in moderation . . . so suggestions please ;)

Day 9

Holy crabby day Batman . . .

This morning was really really hard . . . i put on clothes and they didn't fit. I'm about 3 beats away from throwing in the towel to this whole workout thing b/c its doing nothing, maybe toning but I really want to be getting smaller and I just dont see it :(

Thats all . .. short and sweet.

Day 8

After having 9 days "off" I jumped right back into it . . . 12 hour day today, OY!
Here are some pictures to explain how I feel at this moment

 

 Bed first . . . think about workout tmr . . . NITE!
