To The Hunt

I just have to brag about my AMAZING Thursday.  It has been a jam packed week as I’ve been marketing my tush off for Black Friday and Team Member Appreciation Week, as well as conducting interviews for new Team Members, working, working out, packing up my apartment, and getting some eating and sleeping in there too. 

So when Thursday morning rolled around, I embraced the EMPTY morning schedule.  I got up had breakfast, and indulged in getting sucked into a Cena movie, 12 Rounds.  Thanks Clint! Ha.  Luckily he had recorded it so we could fast forward through commercials. 



GREAT DAY.



I finally got my rear in gear, and did errands.  Fun errands.  I had a Barnes & Noble Gift Card burning a hole in my pocket since my birthday, so I picked up The Paleo Solution.  A fun read about the way our ancestors, the cave men, ate; and how that is how we should be mirroring our nutrition schemes.  I picked up some new tennis shoes.  I love how comfortable running shoes are, but they aren’t made to hold up to squats, leg press, and dead lifts; therefore my poor Saucony’s were pretty much floppy socks.  For fun, I tried on a funky pair of Nike Cross Trainers…and ended up loving them.  I’ve stayed away from Nikes for a long time, but since they are Cross Trainers I thought I’d give ‘em a shot.  They have a wider base and are more sturdy than the average running shoe.  Plus they are pretty shnazzy.  I went to Sam’s Club to fill up on the $3.09 per gallon gas, and pick up our usual.  15 ½ dozen eggs, bag of sweet potatoes, bucket of Organic Spinach/Spring Mix, Low Carb Monster (my down fall lately – woops), and some turkey tenderloins.  OH! And some delicious RED MEAT for dinner Thursday night. 

I attempted to go get an oil change, but they were pretty busy…so I headed home and got the steaks marinating, had some eggs for lunch, and went to the Chiro Clinic for a few appointments.  I got home fairly early and started to throw together dinner for the fam.  Steaks, sautéed mushrooms, roasted red potatoes (sweet potato for me), Apple Raisin Almond salad with homemade Apple Cider Vinegar and Greek yogurt vinaigrette, and cucumber water.  NOM NOM NOM.

Great day followed by great dinner.  Today (Friday) has been equally as hectic as the rest of the week, but I’m excited as I’m leaving town later this afternoon to head to Osseo.  Part of me wishes I was going back for Deer Camp again, but this fall was just a bit to crazy to make that happen again.  This year, I’m heading to Osseo for a different kind of Hunt.  Dress Hunting for Bridesmaid dresses for Brianna Joy’s wedding on 6.9.2012.  I’m looking forward to spending some time with my favorite cousins, and actually looking forward to the drive.  Some alone time, with some tunes.  But before I head out, I get to pump some iron. Leg day. Squats, press, front squat, more press, and to reward my hard work, trap work. Again, NOM NOM NOM. 

Good luck to all the Hunters!  Be SAFE, don’t over serve yourself tonight so that you can’t keep your eyes open in the stand tomorrow!  And I’d me more than happy to take some venison off your hands, so call me when you get that Turdy Pointer.
