Post-Holiday recovery
So I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things. The holiday, along with Nick's supervisor training, has completely thrown off my gym schedule. Although, if that's all I have to bitch about, admittedly, things are going well.
I registered to be in another 1/2 marathon! It takes place in April, and it's called The Big D. (refers to Dallas) Training for that starts next week, and I have my schedule printed out, so I'm sure that'll help put me back on track.
Also, my parents got me a cute silver iPod shuffle for my birthday. I named it Shufflefoot. (aww! Reminds me of a hobbit name! Ooh! I wonder if they have LoTR out on Blu-Ray?) And lately I've been putting all kinds of Podcasts on it. Not sure why I didn't really do that with my mini iPod. But I've really been enjoying (and confusing strangers and coworkers with random fits of laughter), Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, This American Life, Prairie Home Companion and I'm bringing Selected Shorts to the gym today! You complete me, NPR. <3
On Thursday my boss called me into her office. I always have a mini panic attack when that happens, even though nothing bad has come of that, yet. She gave me a little hardcover journal for writing down notes, or business-y things, and stuff like that. It has a cute cover and came with a note that said that she's 'Proud of my accomlishments this year' and to keep it up! I was very touched. It's nice to be appreciated. :)
OH OH, and today! Okay. Last week I decided our cats were getting too fat, and I put them on a diet. Meaning a set feeding schedule with them only getting a certain amount of food, as opposed to the free for all cat buffet. They don't read LJ, so here's their stats:
1/3/09
Bob: 26.2lbs
Gizmo: 13.4lbs
Satine: 10lbs
1/10/09
Bob: 24.8 lbs (-1.4lbs!)
Gizmo: 12.2 lbs (-1.2)
Satine: 9.0 lbs (-1.0 good job teenie beans!)
So the cats have been doing well with this losing weight thing too. I just worry that they might be losing too fast for cats? But I'm going to check with the vet this weekend to see if there's a safe vs dangerous amounts cats should lose per week. Bob really needs to drop that weight though. So I'm glad to see that number go down fast. LOL I sound like a crazy cat lady don't I? *sigh*
