Slowly but Surely

Wednesday night we had our 3rd soccer game...wasn't as fun for me as the last 2 because my ankle started killing me! Refereeing went well but by the time the game came along I was not feeling too hot. My best guess as to what happened was that I got a freakishly HUGE mosquito bite and I think that realllly weakened me (I'm allergic and didn't have any cortisone or Benadryll or anything with me) so we taped up my ankle for the second half but it was still pretty painful and I played less of the game ;( I'm excited for this week though, we should have matching team jerseys for the game and we have a full roster now too!!

I was also feeling quite groggy the past few days (I think same reasoning) so I haven't been as active as I'd wanted to be this week but that doesn't mean I'm giving up!!

Thursday morning I rested up my ankle and hung out by the outdoor pool at the Ritz Carlton in Bachelor's Gulch with Rachel and Travis...didn't have anything to drink (other than the 3 free refreshing tiny alcoholic blend samples) and ate healthy (veggie wrap with mozzarella cheese, zychini, & eggplant along with a super tasty fruit bowl) and then off to work!

Friday I swam 40 laps in between work and my promotion in Breck -- didn't have time to do more!!

Yesterday I squeezed in a visit to the Bacon Festival in Keystone (with Heidi) in between work at Jimmy John's and working at the Sporting News Grill in Frisco. I couldn't pass up a bacon festival! It's not every weekend there's so much tasty pig!!

I'm going to take Lola on a walk this morning (haven't since before Wednesday b/c of my ankle) for at least a mile before getting ready to head to the Bacon Festival again (with Charlie & Acker) and gonna catch the beginning of Yo Mamma's Big Fat Booty Band before we head to Red Rocks to meet up with Curtis and see Widespread Panic!! It's gonna be both Charlies' & Curtis' first time ever at Red Rocks!! Popping some cherries today!!

Off to start my day,

Finally a Summer of Active

So I haven't really been active during the summer (unless you count dancing at shows) since I was still in high school...I'm such an active person during the winter but in the summer I've strictly done the following: work, drink, go to shows, eat, & sleep.

This is the summer to change that and learn to live life actively year round, and here's my plan:

• I joined the Silverthorne Rec Center on Saturday (6 month pass) and swam a nice 40 laps (and my goal was 20), I am going to aim for a swim workout 3 times a week (minimum)
• When my neighbour Tamara gets back in town I am going to start going to kickboxing with her on Monday nights at this gym up the street, 9150 MMA
• I joined a rec soccer team (for just $40 for the whole summer), HCSA, and we have games every Wednesday night (going to try to fit in practices if at all possible too) -- I am also getting back in to refereeing soccer (making money while being outside and running around!!)
• I bought 2 hula hoops today from Target and I am going to start hula hooping in my spare time with Charlie (and anybody else interested)
• I occasionally go play volleyball (for fun) at Carter Park in Breckenridge -- whenever I have free time in the day time and the sun is out -- just learned how to serve with 1 hand and not 2!!
• I want to start doing yoga at least once a week...want a partner in crime though...don't really wanna go alone! I have never done yoga and I hear great things...I've wanted to try yoga for a while and now I need to just do it!!!
• Workout journal to keep track of things and to keep me motivated :) 

Ready? Break!!!
