Whine and Wine Wednesday!

Workout:  3 miles at 10:30 pace.  Felt pretty darn good.

Oh boy!  Momma got a new toy.  No, not that kind of toy.  Even I keep some things a secret.

I got an iPhone 4.

I can now take my self portrait obsession to a new level!  I also have a flash.  You know what that means?

Morning workout pictures!  Greatness!

 I know you have been dying to see how cute we look at 4:45am every morning.  Well wait no more.

Randee forgot to attach her arms this morning.

Trying out my new green compression socks.  I'm thinking the car that almost ran over me this morning had no excuse for not seeing me.

Randee's neighborhood has an insane amount of bunnies running around every morning.  I stopped twice to try and get a good picture.

It never happened.  But that brown thing in the yard is not poop.  It's a rabbit.  I swear.

Okay, I know, I know.  I'm supposed to be whining.  Not being all happy about my new phone and crap. So without any further ado....

I love Spring.  Spring in Texas does not love me.  My allergies have been flared up.  Gives me a constant headache.  Yes Doug, I really have a headache.  It's not just another excuse.  It also makes breathing difficult.  Now if I would just remember to take my allergy meds it might help.

What else.  I'm really just very chill this week.  Not much to whine about.  What can I say?

WINE!  That's what you really come to Whine and Wine Wednesday for.  Admit it.

Since Doug never fills my purple section with "drinkable" wine (this is a constant whine of mine).  I purchased myself a few bottles at *gasp* Target.  I did good!

Red Guitar Tempranillo

It was really tasty.  But I only bought one bottle.  Perhaps I will need to stop by Target on the way home.  If not I also grabbed a couple bottles of Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling.  That's always a good, easy sipper.

While you ponder your wine choice, check out this fantastic image.

This is what my hair looked like when I took it down after working out this morning.  "Something About Mary" was the first thing that came to mind.  I seriously have got to get some eye cream soon.

Happy Whine and Wine Wednesday!

What's your whine and wine for the week. 

Send me pictures of you with your wine.  I want to post them.  I also don't want to feel like a lush drinking alone.  Btchyrunners@gmail.com.  It's that simple!

Tuesday Ramblings

Makeup Workout Yesterday:  Ran 3.2 with Doug at 8pm.  I never run at night.  It was different, but nice.


Today's Workout:  Yogilates

This is the DVD we did.

It is pretty good.  Lots of great stretching!

We got to giggling when we were in this pose.  We kept expecting Doug to walk out of the bedroom at any moment and get all excited to find the two of us in this position.  Looks strange, but feels good.

We have now done level 1 and level 2.  I also have level 3 we will try in a few weeks.

Since my muffin top seems to be here to stay, I decided to start writing down everything I put in my mouth this week.  It really does help me knowing if I eat I will have to take the time to log the info.

I bought this application for iphone.  It was $2.99.

So far I have been very impressed with this application.  The database of food is quite impressive.  I have even been able to find my weird gluten free food.

The picture above is a sample of what the screen looks like.  You put in your weight, the daily calories you want to eat, etc.  Then it is super easy and fast to enter your food.

If you are looking for calorie counting only this is a perfect product.  However, I would really like to also be able to count my protein, carbs, etc.  My other gripe.  They have an online application that does keep track of more nutritional information.  But I can't find a way to upload the phone information to the online application.  This could be user error.  I'll have to do a bit more research.

Anyway, for now the application is working well and will hopefully help me send my muffin top AWAY!

The Rock 'n' Roll Dallas half marathon is in two weeks.

I'm excited for my first Rock 'n' Roll race.  I've heard great things about them!  This will also be Doug's first half marathon.  It also happens to be my daughter's 9th birthday.  It's going to be a BIG day!

I ordered me some CEP Compression Socks....in this green color....to wear in the race.

I'm hoping they arrive this week so I can give them a try in my long run this weekend.  I'll have to see how dorky I look!

Do you wear compression gear?

I have compression tights that I love.  I'm excited to try out the socks!
