So lately I have been feeling disgusted about myself. I did really good for a few months with going to the gym and eating better. Then I fell off that wagon! So today sitting at work I decided I need to get on that wagon. I'm 25 there is no reason I don't need to be up and active and to help me achieve that I made a to do list. I feel like it is easier to get things done when I have a list. And today I had 12 items on my list and so far 7 things have been marked off and completing this blog will be item #8! I also don't think I will get to a few of the things on my list as it is getting late, and the dogs have been outside playing for a few hours this evening so I think I can skip taking them on a walk... and no we didn't get another dog, we are dog sitting Kirley until saturday. She is not off to a good start in my books!!!
Anyways back to my workout ways, while at the gym (and some inspiration from this blog http://www.pbfingers.com/) I decided maybe if I blogged about my workouts then I would stay inspired to do them. I know my blogging in the past has been horrible but lets hope I stay on the workout wagon even if the blogging wagon falls apart again.
So tonight at the gym I started small, I wasn't sure what kind of shape I was in and I didn't want to discourage myself. So I did 30 minutes of interval training on the treadmill, and I didn't do as bad as I expected. I ran 2.3 miles and burned ~170 calories. That is pretty good for me considering when I started at the gym way back in December accomplishing a mile was a HUGE task! But made me feel good: 1 because I wasn't in that bad of shape like I expected 2. gave me some energy and I left the gym nice and sweaty....... and found a bee in my car when I tried to leave- that got my heart rate up higher than I think it was when I was running!!
Anyways from the website I posted above I stoll the girls workouts and made my own print outs and hoping that keeps me motivated to keep on the workout path!
My goal is to lose 15lbs- and I got 15 to go starting NOW!!

Our Boring Lives!!
I haven't posted in a few days but that is just because we have had boring lives since my last post. Go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch tv go to sleep, REPEAT!
It is getting pretty boring. I don't remember if I mentioned in my last post but Brian did take his exam for his administrative license on Friday, won't hear the results for 10-15 days so keep your fingers crossed!!!
This weekend should be exciting though. Saturday is the K-State Football Spring game, haven't decided if we are going for sure or if I should cheer for silver or purple! On Sunday we are taking Miller to the K-State baseball game, it's bring your pet to the game day. We are mostly going because we want the free dog bowl they are handing out to the first 100 people. If we don't get there in time we are coming home. Miller is too much work around other dogs and people. I did take him to PETCO last weekend and he did surprisingly well, the only time he barked like a nut was when another dog wouldn't come say hi to him. Let's hope we have the same luck Sunday.
Stay tuned for the report on Millers outing to the ball field!!

Easter Weekend
This past weekend Brian, Miller and I loaded up and made the long drive to Bucklin. Friday night was rather boring. It consisted of Brian watching tv, and I ran 2 miles on the treadmill, watch out for us party animals!!!!
Saturday Dustin and Jodi arrived and we headed off to the big city of Dodge, boy did it smell delicious there!!! We enjoyed some El Charro and headed off to Orschelns and Wal-mart. I'm sorry for anyone who buys the baby chick from Orschelns that I dropped on its head when trying to hold it, it was not up for being held at that moment! We finally headed back home and decided to head to grandma and grandpas to shoot the 9m we borrowed from Jordan. Dustin made it look easy, but I wasn't prepared. The kick-back scared me and the noise hurt my ears, I advised Jodi she didn't want to have a turn as it was not fun. Dustin told us grandpa had ear-muffs in the garage and Jodi and I should wear those, so I took off to get them. That helped 10 times better, kick-back still wasn't much fun but I braced myself. Jodi was a little scary but she did great.
We also had a competition on a pizza box/target and I got the best score! Brian says it was luck, I also hit a pop can that I technically didn't mean to but I was aiming at it. Dustin won the next competition so we had a shoot off and I lost. That was the end of the bullets so we decided to head back to town and drink some beers.
We ended the night by Jodi and I attending Jessica Cuer's wedding dance. It was alright but reminded me while I will never move back to Bucklin and the people living there now aren't my kind, with the exception of Emily, it's always nice to catch up with her and her family!
Sunday was like any other holiday at the funny farm.. Lots of people everywhere, it sure has changed though. We are all grown up :(
But I did make a new friend, my step-cousins fiance Elisha has a little girl named Aaliyah (I know I'm not spelling it right) anyways we quickly became friends. It started with an arguement that I am not 6 years old, like she is but she liked me. We then started doing one of grandmas word searches together, don't tell grandma but we started making up our own words and circling them. She then preceded to ask me my name so I said Tamren and in return got a funny look, like this is anything new! I told her I know it's a weird name, I was not ready for the response I then got from her, she looked at me and said it's not a weird name it is a very pretty name and I like it! I was impressed and we went off to look for easter eggs together! It broke my heart when she asked if she could come home with me when dad went to bring us back to town to head to Manhattan. I wish I could have brought her back with me!!!
That was my excitement for the weekend, Jodi still doesn't understand why I wouldn't let her stop and pee in the street from the legion building to our house with county cops in town. She still doesn't understand that if you run or walk fast you will get there faster! :)
Hope you enjoy the pictures below of us shooting guns!

Ugh Trying this again!
Like mentioned before I am horrible at blogging, but I am determined to get better at this. I think it comes from the fact that I LOVE reading blogs, so therefore I wish my life was interesting enough for someone to love my blogs. I will get there, but for now you will have to enjoy what Brian, Miller and I do on a daily basis.
Ok let's see how well this goes, check back Friday or Saturday!!!
