Happy Birthday!

Umm Happy Birthday to my car. Mine is still weeks away. I still remember this day last year when i drove my troubled Mazda 626 down to Westminster and went two hours filling out paperwork to get my car (despite the fact that my loan had been approved, the price set, and just about everything was already done). Westminster Honda was the best car experience ever! Absolutely no pressure (really Phil, no pressure ha ha). A few days after i bought my baby i realized that they didn't even ask me if i wanted to add a spoiler to my car! It was great and if i need to buy another honda in the near future i'd go there :)

So for today (maybe tomorrow), i'm gonna have to give the baby a really good washing and waxing to really give her that new car shine again. I washed her last week but she's still got some dirt on her from when i drove back from LA. Overall she still looks and handles great (aside from that VTEC oil regulator problem from a few weeks ago)

Todays random exercise thought: Good Lord i think my Piyo instructor was trying to kill me last night. She really gave us a workout last night (and it could be that since i went running before the class i was tired and my hip joints were already sore). Just 1/3 of the way through i was hurting everywhere and really sweating up a storm (the AC wasn't on in the room for some reason). But the kicker was the last 10 minutes of the class. She was doing so much ab work i was ready to cry. I was hurting during/after that. Of the 5 exercises we did, i had to take a break in 4 of them because i was just running out of gas. And the thing that pisses me off is that she is doing all the exercises while talking and her voice isn't struggling at all! I could barely breathe while doing this much less talk and give instructions.

Overall yesterday was a good workout day. Ran for 25 minutes, did some weights, and then the Piyo class. But i think i need to start altering my workouts as i think i'm hitting a plateau. I'll probably need to do some outdoor running (as opposed to the treadmill) to change up things (and make me sweat more as i am in Las Vegas!) That or maybe i'll switch over to weights exclusively for a day or two during the week. We'll see. Maybe i'm just eating the wrong foods at night so i'm just staying even on my weight. Maybe it's been because i've been drinking Pepsi One (it tastes better now that it's flavored with Splenda) instead of water and Hawaiian Punch. Ha ha or maybe i need to stop sitting on my butt so much :)

Tonight i'll do an hour of cardio and then hit the weights for 30-40 minutes (and i think i'll eat dinner first and then go work out).

b!
