Hey everyone! I hope you all have a great and wonderful weekend. This post is just full of random things in my life.

I was supposed to start my training for the Humane Society in a couple of hours. Instead I’m not going because the BF’s grandma isn’t getting worse so we’re going to visit instead. I’m going to try and make this post not too depressing because I’ve talked about this a lot lately, so that’s all I’ll say about that.

I’m hoping to start the volunteer thing later this year. This weekend was really the only weekend I’m available until around the summer time, so I guess I’ll start in the summer time after classes are over. I just feel so horrible for canceling. I also can’t believe that classes start on the 16th. Time flies by way too fast.

Anyways, I worked out last night. Went well I guess. Ran a couple of miles and did some leg and arm stuff. I need to work out more though! Hopefully at least twice a week. After we worked out, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings, it was good!

I haven’t gained any weight since I last worked out, still weigh around 115. I need to do lots of ab things though.

I need motivation for working out.

I also need motivation for taking down my Christmas tree and other decorations. They are ALL still up. It’s bad, I’m embarrassed.  I don’t even want to take it down, just because I don’t want to put it away. Maybe I’ll start that tomorrow?

Today we are going to the hospital, a birthday late lunch, and most likely going out. Hopefully we don’t spend too much! All of these vacations are going to suck me dry so I need to save lots of money.

Have a good day everyone!

    My motivation to work out is the great feeling it gives me! I did a lot of extra walking and lifting yesterday and I felt wonderful! Also, I sleep better when I work out 🙂 Hope that helps!

    I hear ya on needing that motivation! I needed some serious motivation to get back to the gym after being out with the injury for 2 months. I used to go at least 5 days a week. I'm just trying to remember how awesome I feel after and that I'm doing good for my body, how healthy I'm being. That usually gets me outta bed and on my workout game :)Good luck!

    Don't feel too bad about the Humane Society. BF did the training at the original one here in Pittsburgh and they get sooo many volunteers…they kind of plan on people not being able to do what they set out to. Life got in our way so he couldn't do what he wanted to with them. But he still loves the organization. You'll do it this summer!

    I took down most of Christmas stuff, but I still need to put it all in storage. I also have the last remaining pile of needles that need to get thrown away, but I have misplaced my dust pan. Grrr. So sorry to hear of your boyfriend's grandma's failing health. I wish her all the best.

    It's good you got to visit you're boyfriend's grandmother, hopefully it will help her feel even better.As for the gym, when I don't have the motivation to go, I tell myself to just suck it up and do it. Remind yourself how good you feel when your done and that should help out.

    I've decided I want to work out at least 150 times this year. That means I MUST go about 3 times a week. I have a ticker on my website, so that motivates to go. I also try to go as early as possible, because if I wait until the end of the day, I often don't go at all.

    you are so funny – my stuff was down two days after Christmas!!! I needed it all put away in order to get my mind free & clear for what I wanted to accomplish 😉 if it was still up I would think of it as vacation still!

    We actually thought about taking our Christmas tree down no Christmas day because our little girl was sleeping and we were leaving that day. We waited until we came back the next day though.
