Jerry's favorite things

So, if you know me in real life, you know (probably way too much) about my dog, Jerry. He is pretty awesome. Crazy, but awesome. Friday is his 6 month birthday and I wanted to share a little bit more about him.

Warning: this is a major photo bomb post... but it's cute puppy pictures, so how can you resist? 

How did I fall in love with Jerry? Well, I saw this little face and HAD to have him. He wasn't even 3 lbs when I got him.

Fun facts about Jerry:

• He is a pug/chihuahua mix - I think he has some beagle in him too 
• He has the appetite of a pug, the mannerisms of a chihuahua, and the nose of a beagle. 
• He weighed in at a whopping 14 lbs yesterday! 

Favorite toy: Lamb Chop (close second: puppies)

Favorite chore: Loading the dishwasher (close second: sorting dirty laundry)

Favorite electronic activity: G-chatting his girlfriend who lives in GA, Mackenzie

Favorite places to lay: on remotes and/or cell phones (close second: anywhere I would like to put my legs/feet)

Favorite form of exercise: Zooming around the apartment in circles (close second: going for walks, taking lots of breaks to rest, or you know, just sit and relax)

Best Body Bootcamp - Week 4

Hi Everyone, sorry I skipped my Week 3 update... I've been slacking! Not in the workout department though - I've still been going strong.

Here is the plan for week 4:

Monday: Eliptical Intervals (30 mins) + Walk the dog (45 mins)
Tuesday: Walk the dog (60 mins) + Group Core (30 mins)
Wednesday: Group Centergy (60 mins) - inclement weather plan, take the night off (we are supposed to have tornadoes)
Thursday: Workout B - strength intervals
Friday: Workout C - endurance intervals
Saturday: Workout A - strength intervals
Sunday:  Group Centergy (60 mins)

I can almost guarantee that one of those weekend days, I will be taking off!

Here are my weekly goals...

Drink at least 64 oz of water at work + more at home
Walk the dog every day

Doable? I think so!

Best Body Bootcamp - Week 2

 It's Week 2, and I'm still feeling good! I ended my no-candy streak in a BIG way on Sunday... whoopsiessss. I didn't have a great weekend of eating, but what can ya do. I enjoyed myself and had a great time with my family! My parents got their new puppy! Her name is Lily! Before I ramble on any longer, here is a picture - beware, the cuteness will ooze out of your computer screen. If you are on your iPad, it might spontaneously combust! Not sure if it can handle all this...

On to my workouts for the week:

Monday: 60 min Group Centergy class
Tuesday: Walked to and from gym, Workout A (circuit training)
Wednesday: 60 min Group Centergy class, 75 min walk with Jerry
Thursday: Workout B (core circuit) - planned
Friday: Workout C (circuit training) - planned

I am going to the mountains this weekend, so I am not planning any workouts while I am there. Hopefully I will be spending a good amount of time outside, exploring the city (and let's be realistic - the bars). I want to be mindful of what I eat, but I won't be logging in My Fitness Pal. I have adopted the approach of being pretty strict with meals and tracking during the week, but being a lot more relaxed on the weekends (if I have something going on). We'll see how it all turns out when I take my measurements again at the end of week 4! If I'm not seeing positive results, I will reevaluate.

Let's hope the rest of this week flies by!
