I am tired. Ha! Second week of Fitness Blender. Today was an intense workout and I didn’t eat well on Sunday. However I love the extra energy I get from working out and I lost two pounds. Which is great because that means I officially lost fifty pounds all together. YAY!

Saturday my parents came over and we went out to eat. Then we went swimming! It was a lot of fun because it was hot outside. I swam for three hours before being really tired. Also on Saturday I worked out before they came over. I couldn’t believe I swam for three hours after working out that day.

Sunday I was exhausted!

Sunday we had to go to do family things. My cousin Kathy came home she now lives in Georgia. I told Jeff we should live in a different state this way when we come home we could have a party just for us. Ha! It was good but a bit awkward. I knew there were going to be people I didn’t know but that wasn’t the awkward part.

It was nice to see Kathy and she got married. It’s hard to do know what she is up too since she is the very few people I know who isn’t on Facebook. She has two kids a boy and girl who were super cute. We gave them a congrats card with some money. However her mom didn’t tell anyone it was her birthday. We would have gotten her something for her birthday.

Jeff and I stayed for three hours which is long enough. Here is the awkward part. Wanted to say goodbye to Kathy and there was some awkward silence and saying goodbye. You know how that is sometimes. It’s like um bye nice seeing you then leave. Ha!

I wore this shirt:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s my most breezy shirt because it was so hot outside and it looks nice on me. Now I call this shirt Please look at my chest shirt. Went to Kwik Trip and the cashier didn’t even look at my face just my chest the whole time. I wanted to check out the Dollar Tree in Green Bay. There too some of the male shoppers stared at my chest.

You think I would be used to that since I know I have a large chest but still it bothers me sometimes. I am not one of those girls who flaunts that so to me I think it’s rude. If anyone is going to do that make it less obvious.

We did it. We fixed the front of the house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks great!

This week is my first of 8 weeks of exercising from Fitness Blender. I get up every morning and exercise. I have to say every morning I have no motivation to exercise but after I do it, it’s  like I accomplished something. I bought the 8 week weight loss program and every day I get a video and a bonus video to do. The only thing I am having trouble with is laying on my back. On Tuesday there were some exercises on the floor and I hurt myself. It sucked! Since I have bars fused to my spine. Laying on back I felt my bar pinch my muscle. Yes it’s a real thing that happens! I felt like crying, that hurt so badly! I did not cry though and it did go away later that day.

On Wednesday was HIIT workout and yes some of it is on the ground. I improvise like do the same exercises that is the standing one as they are doing floor stuff. Also I will never be able to do the stretching position cobra, not with my back.

So far though I have a lot more energy to do things during the day.  I think it’s fun working out with the team of Fitness Blender. It’s much different then any of the workout videos I have ever done in my life which is a lot. Also you can tell they are having fun too so that makes it better.

TV/Movies

Posted on by under Everyday Life, Movies, TV

I have a new favorite TV show. Preacher! I can’t wait every week to see it. I love how gory it is and the characters are awesome! I don’t read comic books so I don’t know what will happen but I heard it’s pretty close to the comic. Also the woman who plays Tulip is awesome she is my favorite character of the show. Tulip is such a bad ass.

So you know when you look up a show you see what the actors played in. I saw the woman who plays Tulip and the guy who plays Cassidy played in the show Misfits. I have been watching that too. It’s funny because I saw it on either Amazon or Netflix and it looked good but then forgot about it. OH! Misfits is an amazing show! Each episode has it’s own unique story line plus it adds all that someone watches up till then. I started two weeks ago and I am in the third season and there is five seasons. There isn’t a character on the show that I don’t like. Too bad there is only five seasons. I hope it ends good.

Speaking of ending shows Turn. I loved that show as it’s a history show about the Revolutionary War. Not just that it was about spies. It’s funny because if someone didn’t know about the Revolutionary War you would really think some of the characters would die but in history they don’t. It’s like having an insight of the show. The way that it ended was perfect! Couldn’t ask for the perfect ending of a show.

Jeff and I started watching the Fear of Walking dead. We tried watching that show before and it was boring! But one of Jeff’s co-workers said keep watching it gets better. So we did and now we are going to catch up to this year. It has a lot of action in it even though me watching so many zombie movies there are some real dumb things the characters do as well.

On Friday Jeff and I went to see Atomic Blonde. I really wanted to see it on the big screen. I have to say the story was a bit confusing in parts. The action though made up for that. It was great! She kicked so much ass.

I had it all planned for last Tuesday and of course didn’t go as planned. I signed up my mom, April and I to do painting in the park. Of course living in this stupid little town because they only had us signed up they canceled it. Dumb! I am mad because it was almost a hundred dollars for all three of us. Even having three people they should have done it. The lady said because there wasn’t enough signed up like she hoped. You made money just do it as you said. Anyway they moved it too September 14. I think it’s so dumb.

The plan was drive on Tuesday to April’s house which is an hour an half, take her to her lesson, have lunch come back to my house. Have her sleep over and drive her back home. Now I have to do that in September but it’s on a Thursday. What I am mad about is September 15 is our wedding anniversary. Wanted to spend the whole day with Jeff and now I can’t. It’s not April’s fault it’s this artist who is putting on this painting in the park.

If it was like ten dollars to go paint in the park, I would say forget it. But it was a lot of money to go and paint in the park. So I will just go and do it.

So Tuesday was the day of all my plans. I went to see April anyway and it’s always fun hanging with April. In her small town they have an awesome coffee shop! I am jealous because our coffee shop isn’t as good. Then I drove April to her riding lesson. Remember Marc from April’s show and how he wasn’t as caring? He did a 360 on me on Tuesday! I told April there is no way I can go in for her lesson as I am allergic to everything in that place. I brought my Kindle with me to read and past the time. I sat in the car for 2 hours but it went fast with my book.

However Marc came out in the beginning and asked if I wanted something drink like water or soda. He even chatted with me a little. WHAT?! He actually came out another time to get April’s phone for video. He chatted with me about my Kindle and he was being nice. I was like what is going on?! He was being a totally different person. At last I judged too quickly, I am only human. I am using that an excuse. One on one he isn’t bad but show day not the greatest personality. 

After her riding lesson we did some errands and had more coffee!

This Sunday I was supposed to go to Sunflower Festival but it rained and stormed. Totally sucked because I wanted to see the sunflowers. I was supposed to go with my parents. However they did come up and we had have brunch. At the restaurant they had brunch but it was 15 dollars per person! I have to say that brunch isn’t worth 15 dollars, I would say 10 dollars at the most. There weren’t anything really impressive about it, so that sucked.

We did drive by the Sunflower Festival. I got this nice picture of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Besides it being rainy, it was nice to see my parents.

Not a whole lot going on lately. Was supposed to work on the house but Jeff had to work this weekend. Also I didn’t feel well woman problems. So this weekend I watched some movies. I have been watching a lot of zombie movies lately and finding out how much shit is out there. Why is it so hard to find a good zombie movie?

I did find not a zombie movie more alien which is good too. It was called Plan 9. I didn’t know it was sort of a remake mixed with other zombie references in it. It was cheesy fun and shot very well. Since I didn’t know it was sort of a remake I had to look up the original. It’s called Plan 9 from Outer Space. I looked up the reviews on IMDB and the reviews weren’t great but some where good. I loved it! It was also cheesy fun. I actually liked it better than the sort of remake. That movie is a keeper. I would definitely watch that again.

I also came across a pretty good zombie movie. It’s called Dead Weight. Sometimes I come across some pretty good zombie movies. I thought the movie was good because it showed more of the human condition then the actual zombies. Which you don’t really see the zombies but you hear them. I think those zombie movies are just as good, still gives that creepy factor. It’s centered around the character Charlie.  He literally does everything he can to get to his girlfriend during the zombie apocalypse but also shows their relationship before then. He did things where people do not come back from kind of stuff to get to his girlfriend. In the end it shows how unfair people can be towards one other. What I thought was funny in this movie was he had to get to Wausau Wisconsin. It didn’t say that in the description so when he said it, I was laughing. I was like no way in Wisconsin! Good funny there. However good zombie physiological movie.

Jeff and I watched Get Out. I have to say I wasn’t expecting the twists in that movie! Totally got us off guard. We both figured out the first one that was easy but all the others and the end! What?! Great movie! The description goes just saying it’s an interracial thing but it’s way more than that. Wow freaky! I would so recommend this movie to anyone.

On Saturday I went down to see April. I agreed to help her clean out her apartment because she needed help doing so. I underestimated her being such a pack rat. Ha!

April hordes mail. I thought that was crazy. She had mail when her brother lived with her. Now that had been some years! It was crazy and sort of funny. Also she found 10 dollars now that is awesome. However I win finding the most coolest thing ever!

Earlier this year April lost her class ring. She has worn that thing ever since she got it. Well since she lost all that weight it fell off. Never to be seen again. Until…I found it! I found it in a purse and the funny part is she said she was no where near that purse. So there is no way it could be there. I guess I was the one supposed to find it.

I spent eleven hours at her house that day. However we didn’t get right away to work. Of course not. Ha!

Near April’s place is a place called Tera Verda coffee shop. They had this funny sign in it.

 

 

 

 

The coffee so good! We have to go back.

 

 

 

 

We threw away so much stuff! However we didn’t even get a room done. It’s going to take a long time to clean her place but I think we can do it together. And if she continues to do a little every day that would help too. I think she will. April’s apartment is a 2 bedroom and one bathroom. It’s quite big in there. Once everything is done I think it will look even bigger.

I am getting a little further on my cross stitch project. It’s going to be a long one.

 

 

 

 

 

Okay so last week Jeff was complaining his foot hurt and he could not walk on it. I kept saying “When are you going to doctor?” Finally on Tuesday after work we went to the doctor. We met the nicest doctor and you know I hate my doctor, a lot! The very next day I called and changed my doctor to him. Also I won’t be as nervous since I know his personality and what he looks like. Back to the Jeff. I didn’t know this but Jeff has never had an x-ray done ever on his body except his teeth. I was shocked!

I have probably close to hundred, I really don’t know. I had a lot of x-rays taken of my back. Then various parts of my body, arms, legs, and knees. I was shocked because I thought he would have at least one. Also x-rays today are less painful as they were back then. Now they have the one where you can lay down and they have it where the machine moves. Still though that table you have sit or lay on it is hard! Jeff found that out.

The doctor had no idea what it could be but not plantar fasciitis which I have that in my left foot. His complaint is it’s on the side of heal. Found out it’s what they call police officer foot. Funny it’s called that. Also I noticed he has a couple of bruises on his heal too. Of course they didn’t give him any painkillers. Was hoping for that. The doctor gave him some exercise that Jeff won’t do. I just know he won’t. I think he just needs to rest it and it will be better soon.

Almost everyday at noon during the week I watch YouTube! I don’t know if anyone else notices but way more ads lately. And the kind where you can’t skip after 5 seconds. Well most of the time I go do something while they play or look at Facebook when they play. But there is a rare occasion where I actually watch what they are trying to sell me.

I found out about a workout that is so intense it works for a couple days after you do it. Called HIIT High Intensity Interval Training.

Thanks to April I am into the YouTube videos Fitness Blender. It’s a wife and husband duo that do all these workouts. I have done a couple of them but I found out they have a few HIIT videos. I tried one Tuesday and I never sweated so much during a workout before in my life! I was a fountain of sweat! Oh man was I sore for days afterwards. You would think various parts of my body would hurt but what was the sorest was my butt muscles! I think it’s funny that my butt hurt the worst out of anything. There is a lot of squats in the video but I thought my thighs would be sore no my butt! It wasn’t till a little later my arms, thighs and knees were sore. But instant butt soreness. Funny!

Would I do HIIT again? Hell Yes! In fact I plan do it at least 2 times a week.

Also I am going to be doing an 8 week program from Fitness Blender starting the first week of August. Going go get some dumbbells. That is all I need for equipment. I am excited to lose more weight and what I want is to look different by Christmas that is my goal. So far I have been strict on eating my points been doing weight watchers, Jeff has too and he lost 10 pds already! I lost 5.

Fitness Blender has this program for 8 weeks and they give you videos everyday plus bonus videos. On top of that tips and tricks to get the most out of your workouts. I am excited to do this and the price is unbeatable!

April has been going to a gym and I thought maybe I should join a gym. We have 2 in our town an Anytime Fitness and another. I can’t think of the name of the other. Both are so expensive! Over a hundred dollars a year and then some. April got a whole month free to Anytime Fitness in her town so that is why she has been going. I am not so lucky to get anything like that.

However Fitness Blender program for 8 weeks is $15 that’s a steal. So I will be doing this. Can’t wait.

Last Saturday Jeff and I went to hang out with my parents. It was a nice time. I needed mom to show me how to make French Knots for my cross stitch project. I thought they were going to be hard but in fact they are not. That is good so when I have to the outline the French Knots are not going to be a big deal.

We went swimming that was fun. Bree was there and wow she was being silly! We were racing in the pool and mom and I didn’t hear what she said. I am like “Did she say sucka?” We were laughing and she said “See you later suckas!” OMG! It was so funny and she gets these expressions are so hilarious!

I just found out that Dr. Who is going to be played by a woman. I am not happy about this! I am not sorry Dr. Who should be played by a man. There are some roles like James Bond should always be played by a man. Dr. Who should be the same. On top of that she is a…feminist! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate feminists!

I don’t know, I will watch to see how it goes but there hasn’t been any real good doctors since 10 in my opinion. I mean 11 was nice but I thought he was young. It was hard for me to get into him but his story was good and his companions. “Bow ties are cool!” Will always be a thing. I am curious who will be the next companion. I am glad Clara will be done, she is hits the near the bottom of the companions list for me. I was really hoping she would be done a lot sooner then she did.

Dr. Who ten with Rose and Donna are my favorites forever. No one has topped them yet. I am thinking no one will for a long time.

Misheard Lyrics

Jeff and I started listening to Ded. OH I really like them. In their song FMFY he says: Bring out the guillotine. However at first I thought he said bring out the KFC. I couldn’t stop laughing because I really thought he said that! Now all I hear is Bring out the KFC.

I have been listening to more Slipknot. I didn’t know that others thought the same till I looked it up on YouTube. Their song Liberate he says: Liberate my  madness. Yes I heard: Liberate BANANAS!

LOL!

Resident Evil

Posted on by under Hobbies, Movies

OMG! Resident Evil!

I am doing a happy dance. Resident Evil came out with another movie Vendetta! I so loved it! Finally another animated movie.

They made Chris younger looking. I like it, I like his new look. I was thinking that Chris looked to have too much muscle and old sort of. I mean technically he would be older but in Resident Evil 6 he was not looking too good. I so hope they keep him looking like this. I love it as he is one of my 3 favorite characters.

Yes I am still sad Wesker is dead. He was the ultimate bad guy.

Finally a movie with Rebecca Chambers! She is one of those characters that I wonder about. Like where does she fit in as the series moves on and how come they put her more into the series. She is a wonderful character.

Of course it had Leon. Have to have Leon! I like he is a complicated character and really never looks any different. He is such a badass.

I like how they improved the zombie. Zombie walking dead but more improved as they can target friend or foe. Now come on that is pretty damn cool! The villain was good too and totally had the grotesque monster as Resident Evil always have.

Oh they had the zombie dogs! Thinking of zombie dogs those things are hard to kill. In the game would always jump scare me as they come out of nowhere.

Please keep making animated Resident Evil movies.
