i L-O-V-E the co-op soooooo much!!! i decided to try their cashew butter (i got a bunch of it for $3! {@ $9.99/lb}), got some wholesale oat bran to try, some cajun sesame sticks for car-snacks, some whole nutmeg to put in milk, some milk (one downside to the co-op is the lack of 1% milk... and i just didn't want the skim), frozen sweet potato fries (yum!), some spicy thai kettle chips that were on sale, MAPLE yogurt (!!), my chocolate coconut-milk ice cream, and the infamous annie's woodstock dressing. :)
as i was leaving, i decided to catch up on all the pittsburgh publications i've been missing since moving to the burbs... so i stocked up on a city paper, the co-op newsletter, the venture outdoors newsletter (YAY!!), and the bike pittsburgh bike map (for the slim chance that i'll get my bike down from the beams in my garage when it gets warm :)). i'm totally looking forward to all my reading. :)
and congratulations are in order! i've successfully completed my january goals : i made it to the gym more than 10 days this month and i took 3 new classes (thus making me a superhero since i had only planned on taking 2). i took latin impact class (detailed in a previous post), and then monday night i took yoga and last night i took body works plus abs. i was very pleasantly surprised by the yoga class… i had taken a couple classes in paris and i just didn’t really like it that much. but this class was great and i can’t wait to take another one! i wish i were going to be home both saturday and sunday so i could go to those yoga classes, but i have to go to my parents’ house for at least part of the weekend (it’s my mommy’s birthday weekend!). i don’t feel i got a really good upper-body and core workout from yoga (surprisingly), but i do feel like i got in a good leg workout. my legs had that wonderful jell-o feeling when i left.
body works plus abs was an entirely different story. the instructor was new and i really liked her, but i just wasn’t feeling the class. it was done using free weights (which i generally avoid) and it was the opposite of yoga – i got a great upper body workout, but my legs didn’t get much attention. my arms were soooo tired when i left, but i did some treadmill work before leaving to even it out a bit. i was also just really bored in this class – i was literally yawning the entire time because we kept doing the same exercises over and over but in different positions until our arms were ready to fall off. i don’t think it was the instructor, though, i think it was just the class itself. still, i’m glad i went.
so what prize do i get for completing my january goals? drunken noodles with chicken from the green mango. however, i’m changing up the goal a little bit. since i've managed to meet the first goal in so little time, i’m changing the minimum gym visits to 15. i’ve gone 11 times so far and i plan on going probably sunday morning and probably monday, tuesday, friday and saturday of next week, so i should definitely be able to do this (::fingers crossed::).
on a side note, does anyone know how to prevent and get rid of foot cramps? this has been going on for a really long time and no matter what i do or what i eat, they keep coming back. any suggestions would be very helpful.
I’ll leave you with “things I don’t roll with”:
I don’t roll with…
Taylor Swift. Please stop making music with that nasally, whiny voice of yours. If you must continue “singing,” please do it on country-only stations.
Kelly Clarkson.
American Idol (in general).
Old-man gym pervs.
Paying $11.47 for fruit salad at whole paycheck foods (though I DO roll with their cute reusable lunch totes for 79¢. and I’m fond of their lavender blend conditioner for $2.59…)
Leaving my favorite project at work. :(
Tan lines from peepers.
Breaking in new running shoes.
Slippery, dirty, salty volleyball gym floors. Bring spare shoes, people.
ps: apologies if the font/colors/sizes are all messed up. i don't know what's going on, but they won't stay uniform for me. blech.
