Last night I was freezing. We have been turning the heat down even lower than usual to save 
some money. I just couldn’t get warm! I took a comforter off the bed and wrapped myself in it before we watched 24.
It was so comfy.
We watched the first episode of season 7 last night. It was good, but I must say we really miss out regular characters! I hope they return- especially Chloe!
It was a great episode! Of course Eric wanted to watch more when that one ended around 11:45pm, but I was zonked. Holiday or no holiday, I knew I needed to get up early this morning and get cracking on my sugar cookies!
Thank you all for your study tips yesterday! They helped me out huge. :) I am proud to say that I turned off the TV, PC monitor and I was able to read chapters 3-6! I am now more than half way through the manual.
I decided for the first time through I would read it to get a sense of the material (i.e., not take notes or quiz myself) and then the second time through I am going to zero in on the material.
For the most part the information has been super interesting!
I loved Greta’s comment last night:
“The best motivator is a rapidly approaching deadline.”
So true, isn’t it? I have never been a big procrastinator (I was always the first one done projects out of my friends), but I still do put things off. Knowing that I have to write this exam on May 4th is a big motivator for me because with everything I have going on, that isn’t tons of time.
I am insanely excited for my new Bamboo Tea box! Now, I have an obsession filling it up. :)
Some of my teas:
I am currently loving Echinacea Plus, goji berry green tea, and acai berry. I also love Yogi teas (this week was my first time having any). I checked out their website and they have a much bigger selection that my grocery store! I just may have to order some online. I would love to try their Detox tea!
So what is this surprise that I kept from you all yesterday?
Eric still doesn’t know! Surprisingly, he didn’t pester me about it too much yesterday.
I want to take us Indoor Rockclimbing! I am super excited and also quite nervous! I hope we can go today (depending on how much progress I make with my baking), but if not we’ll go next week.
We’ve been saying for a long time that we’ve wanted to do it, so finally I decided to surprise him with it. We are doing a 2 hour intro session. I hope that it won’t be too much strain post-injury. I will have to see how it goes!
If you have done indoor rockclimbing (and I know some of you have!) drop me a comment and let me know how it is!
Day 15 (April 10th): Is your cardio routine the same day in and day out? That ends today! Mix up your cardio routine. Do something totally different. The body responds well to change! Also, do 3 wall sits. Hold each one for as long as you can. I LOVE wall sits. I can do them for about 1.5-2 minutes each. It burns, but I love it!
The view I had the other night while making dinner– just gorgeous!
Note: I am happy to report the snow is now melted thanks to yesterday’s warm temps!
Well, I am off to bake my little heart out! After that it is workout time.
See you this afternoon for the recap!
Hope you have a wonderful Good Friday!
btw, I love the OSG Tip of the Day today…. I can relate to it sooooo much right now!!!
How fun! I always do the comforter in the living room thing when I’m watching a movie with the fiance, it’s so comfy.
I love your tea box too…what a neat idea. My mom would love something like that as she always has a nightly cup.
I did indoor rockclimbing as a kid and my fiance still goes on occasion! It is a lot of fun and there are varying levels. It’s not scary at all as you are all hooked up to lines (there’s a more technical term for that I’m sure!)
Yay tea!!!
Love seeing you rep the Yogi Teas. I’m actually living in Eugene, Oregon right now…that is where they are based out of! We’ve got quite the variety of their teas…let me know if you want me to ship you some!
tell you what, any of those inferior cookies and brownies you need to get rid of, you just send ’em my way — I’ll pay shipping. It’ll be like the Glo Bakery Outlet store. ;-)
Happy to do my part for research, that’s me!
#1. gorgeous view! thank you for sharing the photo.
#2. my best friend has been rockclimbing indoors regularly (with yoga) for a few months now, and LOVES it. she recently did a post on her blog about her she likes her body more than ever before, and it’s not because it’s smaller–it’s because it is TONED and STRONG and she is capable of such amazing things. it is such a good attitude.
#3. i LOVE that tea chest. i was just telling my girlfriend about it today! i want one! i love my tea.
