Sick JuneBug = Sick Megan :(

So I have often wondered how long it actually does take a person to *catch* an illness from someone...well its roughly about 2 1/2 days. 

Ya see mom came to visit last weekend and go to my cousin Courtney's wedding...well we were visiting Jerm, Ange & the twins when she all of a sudden yelled "we need to go NOW!" We just made it back to my house before she started puking, etc...It was awful!!! I felt so bad and so helpless...June definitely does not like to be sick and I definitely do not like seeing her sick.  I did my daughterly duty however and took care of her until she was able to go home late Sunday morning.  Monday afternoon my tummy started to hurt and yup it was all downhill from there--however I am happy to report that it wasn't quite as bad as it was for mom. 

Now it's Tuesday evening and I'm finally feeling better after one hell of a night last night. I spent my day reading my new book The short second life of Bree Tanner...yup the new Stephanie Meyers book--it was only 178 pages so I finished it with no problem. It was a pretty great short story but sad that she was such a great character that couldn't be developed more (we already knew from Eclipse that she dies her final death).

On a good I weighed myself this afternoon and was sooo psyched to see that I was down to 177lbs! I know it's only because I've been so sick but it's 1 pound away from my goal of 176! It'll probably come back as soon as I start eating again but for the moment I'll enjoy it haha :)

That's it for now...until next time...

RUN MEGAN RUN!

I don't have much to write about tonight but I just wanted to note that I ran TWO miles today non-stop while at the gym!!! I am so excited with my progress lately and I'm really feeling good about myself :)  This week my goal is to finally get UNDER 180 lbs! As of yesterday I was still around 181...I know I can do it and this is the week for me...gonna work hard and eat right and hopefully reach my goal by Saturday ! WOOHOO!

Also--just talking to Fickett and trying hard to figure out a weekend to go to the Island this summer---Who knew the two of us would be so busy we'd have trouble finding a weekend that we both had open! We are thinking 4th of July weekend....I need to get over there to find my nose ring LOL .... its such a wonderful island so peaceful and away from everything. I mean it's not like you can go tra la la'ing just anywhere! Keeping my fingers crossed :)

That's it for today...back to work tomorrow--gotta work at MMC too so it'll be one long day. Mom will be here on Thursday and staying till Sunday which is great...I hope we get to do something fun together :)

Memorial Day Wkend 2010

Well almost a year later and I'm finally getting around to my 2nd post! A lot has happened in the past year but I'll spare you most of the details and start from this past weekend....

Memorial Day Weekend 2010

It's been a pretty eventful weekend...lots of friends, family & fun! It all started on Friday night when I went to the gym w/Sara. We have been working out hard lately at SS&F and on Friday she pretty much forced me to try Zumba class...I was VERY against it but had SO much fun! My hips don't really move like the teachers do but oh well I'm sure I burned a few calories trying :) When class was done I decided to stay and go on the treadmill for a few minutes. I have been wanting to *attempt* to run lately (esp after seeing the biggest loser finalists run a marathon) but haven't dared to try-assuming that I'd fail. I've never been able to run very long/far but I figured if I could run at least a 1/2 mile I'd be pretty happy. Well I got on and started running and ran a whole mile w/no problem! I was pretty excited that's for sure--I know it's not much for most people but I was proud and hoping that in time I can work my way up to 2 or 3 miles at a time!

Saturday started off with another good workout w/Sara and her new neighbor Sonja...we went to Group Step class. It was a hard class but a lot of fun..and I think Sonja officially hates us lol. I love the instructor on Saturdays- she's so full of energy (even when she wasn't feeling well!) and makes the time go by quickly. Later on Saturday Treston and I set out to find a new bike (after returning my crap one to walmart). We ventured out to Cape Able (or is it Abel?) in Kennebunk only to find that it closed-for good, so we turned around and headed to Saco to Gorham Bike & Ski where we found an awesome hybrid! It was a little more money than I wanted to spend but I think in the long run it'll be worth it :) I couldn't wait to get out riding but when we got home we went next door to a BBQ with our neighbors. We had lots of food and met some new people and before I knew it it was time to head to Portland. Jerm and Ange picked me up and we headed out to the GLB to meet up with even more people. The rest of the night included some drinks, yummy food and great friends! Even Lynne came over with Kristine which was pretty cool too! I hadn't seen her in years and we had a lot of fun talking about the good ole days back at UMM...what we could remember of them anyway!

Sunday started off with a couple of fun filled hours at the gym...we did TWO classes and I left exhausted--we then ventured to Biddo to get an Oreo softserve ice cream but only to find the place hadn't opened yet *tear* Oh well...a caramel iced coffee hit the spot just as well :) I headed home and spend the rest of the afternoon w/Treston Rob Christina and the boys working on our yard...which looks fabulous now! Tyler and I played pass with the softball for a little bit too--he's going to be one heck of a baseball player one day! Once they all left I set out for my first bike ride down Simpson Rd. I went only a couple of miles since my legs were still tired from the morning but I had so much fun!@ I found that I'm deathly afraid of getting hit by a car but I think I'll get used to it as time goes on.

And finally...Memorial Day! No gym today...I had told Sara that I'd be going out on the boat pretty early so I couldn't work out but we didn't end up leaving until after noon hehe oops! Our afternoon was spent out on Sebago Lake with Arnie & Cher. We even brought Guntherboy who def enjoyed his time out on the water. It was a beautiful and warm day however the sky was full of smoke being blown down from some large forest fires in Quebec....it looked like fog or a hazy summer day but the weather itself was perfect. I'll post a couple of pics tomorrow once I upload them to my computer.

Now it's about bedtime and I'm laying in bed...listening to Treston breathe slowly and Gunther snoring behind my head on the pillow. I love moments like this--peaceful. I love my boys so much :)

Until next time....*M*

My first blog

Welp...here it is my first ever blog...well besides the random crap i've done in the past on myspace..they don't count hah. I've been sitting here all friggin day with nothing to do and no motivation to do anything...and this is what I come up with?! So weird...Like *I* have something to write about...but then I got thinking that maybe someday I will have something I want to say and this will be a great place to do it. So now I'm all set up to blog....

I wonder who came up with the name "blog"? It's very weird...I often wonder where people come up with this crap...and the names to title them...I am a big fan of googling everything that I think about but the creation of the blog is something I have yet to look in to. Maybe one day I'll do it and then get back to you...until then....oh never mind who even cares ha.

So what am I supposed to do now? Just go on about my life and whatnot? It feels too much like a diary..even though I'm pretty sure people don't post diaries online for the world to read...can't imagine anyone would really care to read mine anyhow...I can write about sitting here in my big comfy round chair, cuddling with guntherboy while treston plays tiger woods on 360. Golf...yup the most boring sport known to man...I've never seen the point in it or saw the attraction...unless there is a big windmill that you need to get the ball through I'm not playin'.

I guess my closing will include the fabulous time I had this past Saturday with some of the best friends a girl could ask for. I have sort of fallen away from hanging out on a regular basis due to some life crap but now I'm back and life is good again :) Fickett came down from CHerryfield for the weekend and on Saturday we headed in to Portland to Lynne's place. Kim met us there and we hung out and caught up for a few hours...it was grand. Then we headed across town to the roller derby....Ok...I totally want to try out for it...I just have to pretend that I'm bad ass...and probably make sure I can still stand up on skates...but I really want to try out~! I doubt I'd make it but it would be a hoot to try! I need to think of a badass name...if you have any suggestions just let me know! well anyways...the day was awesome and ended that the GLB with more friends...ashton, shelly, and greta :)

That's all for my first blog I guess....I'll write more whenever something exciting happens :)

Peace out,

*M*
