Showers

I am working on a new habit...getting up early and working out.  I drive an hour each way to work every day and it is HOT when I get off.  I have been feeling sorry for myself that I can't work out because of "time", but in reality, I can workout whenever.  I choose how I spend my time, I just haven't been choosing wisely.

I am focusing on keeping my schedule open at night so I am free to do other things.  That means I have to work out in the early morning.  That also means that I have to get up at 4:30 AM to have time to travel to the park, workout and shower before work. OUCH!  It is so hard waking up that early, but I am determined to start a new habit so that I can control my time in the evenings.

There is a shower at work so I leave by 5 AM, get to the park at 5:30 AM (ish) to workout and still have time to get a shower.  The good thing about leaving that early is that the traffic is very minimal and I get a great parking space on the bottom level of the parking garage.  Hooray!

This morning I got up and left on time but I got to the park and realized I forgot my work shoes.  My lime green running shoes were not going to work with my outfit today so I went to the only store that was open that early to buy shoes...Wal-Mart.  I actually really like them though and they are comfortable so far.  I don't care where I shop as long as they are comfy!

Anyway, I got to work and realized that I forgot my bra.  :/  #failnumber2oftheday  Well, since I didn't have time to workout due to my Wal-Mart shopping spree, my sports bra would have to work. Luckily I am wearing black so it didn't matter!

Mary Kay Cleansing Cloths great for sweaty workouts!

The main point I was going to make after that long story was how much I love my new facial cleansing cloths that I used today.  Normally I have to use a cleanser and a washcloth, but these are in one!  They foam up really nicely so I feel like I am really clean, which is especially important after a long, sweaty workout.  Love them!  You can buy them here if you are in need of cleansing cloths.

They are simple to use and can be taken anywhere, all you need is water.  Sometimes I can't wash my face right away after a workout because of a commute home in traffic or I have to run errands.  My face gets so dry and sometimes broken out after working out because of all of the sweat. Gross!  These cloths help because I can throw some water on them from my water bottle and cleanse my face and then just rinse it off.  Super simple.

I'm not trying to sell you anything, but I love sharing new tools that I find!  I have had these for a while but never got around to using them.  My aunt uses them for after she goes diving in Roatan.  All of that salty sea water is not good for your face.  Now I love them and they will be a permanent staple in my gym bag!

Fun Weekend in Dallas-Part One

This weekend I travelled to Dallas to visit with Clarissa.  I had meant to go up there on Friday after work, but I stopped at my Mom’s house first to change clothes. 

Me and my niece Kali went for a walk around the block and “jumped over cracks” because, well, it’s fun and it wears kids (and adults) out by jumping so much.  Kali for sure has our families genes because she fell, twice.  The first time it was minor but the second time she hit her head on the concrete.  She was screaming (understandably) and we were only halfway home on the other side of the lake.  I ran with her in my arms but I didn’t want to jostle her since she hit her head, and she was screaming and I was running and it might have looked like I kidnapped her and I was running away with her. LOL.  Luckily, I saw a random guy getting in his car and I asked him to take us the rest of the way home.  Stranger Danger, I know.  I figured it was less than ¼  mile and I took my chances. 

We made it home safely (I need to give that guy a thank you card!) and Kali’s head started making a ‘goose egg’ so we knew she would be fine.  I needed to go but Kali asked me to stay so I had to.  I can’t say no to her. #whippedbyanalmost3yearold

The next morning I had to wake up at 3:30 am to get to Dallas on time.  My friend couldn’t go to the last day of the Mary Kay Seminar, so she let me have her name badge if I promised to report back to her what happened.  Let me tell you, it was awesome!  People were crossing the stage for tons of stuff.  I want to cross the stage!  I have never crossed the stage for something I worked for.  I think everyone should be able to do cross the stage once in their life for something they accomplished and worked hard for.  After people crossed the stage, the top 3 sales directors were able to give speeches, which were awesome!

I went to the expo after the closing ceremony and it was awesome.  I got to see the 2017 awards that you can earn.  Talk about bling!!  Here are some of my goals for this year!

 

I LOVE the bottom right ring, 3.5 karats of diamonds!

Long term goal is to be a Million Dollar Sales Director.  I heart diamonds and they get the most of everyone. :)
