I decided to do a workout in the living room using the Nike Training App. I hadn’t used it in months and I had all the stuff I needed to get a half-assed workout in. I got out the free weights and the medicine ball and got to work.<\/p>\n
Workout Stats:<\/strong> I saw that the rain had died down outside so I changed into my \u00a0old running shoes, grabbed a hat and jacket and headed outside. I ran down the street in the cold, damp morning toward the track.<\/p>\n Total Calories Burned: 746<\/strong><\/p>\n Running usually makes me feel better no matter how bad of a mood I’m in. This time? It was a miserable run. I got out of my soaked clothes–thankfully it was laundry day. I ran a bunch of errands and did cleaning the rest of the day, then I headed to Cost Plus World Market. I was told they had cute business card holders. It’s funny–every single time I go to World Market for one thing I leave with at least 5 things I don’t really<\/em>\u00a0need.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/IMG_7861.png\" "\\"IMG_7861\\"")

\nI started with the Arm Definer. It got my heart rate up and I was sweating but I was still unhappy with how my weekend was shaping up and I griped and complained the whole time.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI switched to the Cardio Burst workout and that made me feel a bit better. I was starting to feel like I was getting a real workout in and my mood improved. I finished up with the Ab workout because god knows I’ve been neglecting my abs all summer long.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nBy this time my good mood was waning again. I was kind of done with the workout (mentally) and I was struggling to push myself any further. Some people can workout at home. I’m really not one of those people. I need a\u00a0place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThe rain came back steadily but I was committed to running by that time. There was a kid’s football game about to start but I didn’t plan on running for very long. There were two other people running the track.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nHaving a hat helps when running in the rain. It’s not QUITE as miserable. I know I shouldn’t complain–it’s just rain after all. But I cannot tell you how much I despise the rain. As I ran the track I grumpily whined inwardly about how “this is what the next 8 months look like”. I seriously dislike the long, gray, gloomy, rainy winters in the Northwest.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nBy my last lap it started to hail. I said out loud to myself “SERIOUSLY?!” and then headed home. I’d had enough. I workout because I like<\/strong>\u00a0it. I shouldn’t be miserable when I workout–it makes me less likely to continue doing it!<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nEvery step was miserable because my shoes and socks were soaked. I was so glad I’d grabbed my old pair instead of my nice, new, clean running shoes! I got home and stretched. I killed my legs on the Foam Roller and then showered–grumpily.<\/p>\n<\/a>

\nI got a package of fajita sauce and a Universal Edge Guard for when we go camping. I didn’t even know I needed<\/em>\u00a0that. \ud83d\ude42 But when we went camping a few weeks ago we just wrapped our sharp knives in a towel to take with us.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI also got some new placemats. Yes I am weird, only buying one of each. They did NOT have business card holders but I left with 7 items and $18 spent. This was the final last minute purchase:<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nDIGESTIVES!! I remember going to London with my cousin Anna when I was 18 and our hotel room had Digestives. We were soooo <\/em>confused! Were they crackers? Were they laxatives??? We were too nervous to eat them for a few days and then finally gave it a try and they were good. I haven’t had them since then–almost 14 years ago. I cannot wait to try one of these. Despite my crappy day, the highlight was definitely Cost Plus Market and finding THIS on sale:<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nFinally! I’ve been checking for months, waiting for this very expensive product to go on sale and it finally did. I cannot wait to make my favorite soup<\/a> with this. That’s\u00a0definitely;y something to look forward to. Michael got home late from golfing and we made turkey burgers. It was so nice to have an old favorite return. We haven’t had any ground turkey from Costco for most of this summer so no turkey burgers.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nAs a side we had some tomatoes from the garden. The turkey burgers were on sandwich thins. It really hit the spot.<\/p>\n
