Stephany Writes

Categories: Recurring Series

Everyday Moments: June 2012

1 – Finishing the Spartan 500 Challenge (50 jump squats, 100 push-ups, 150 sit-ups, and 200 burpees. Most people were doing the Spartan 1,000 which is all of that… doubled.)

2 – Making it through a tough boot camp, my mom making me cookies when I felt down

3 – Movie date with my brother, another successful #twookclub chat!

4 – Choosing to listen to my heart and not my head and having peace with that decision.

5 – Friends being there for me for my neurotic text messages and lengthy emails when I needed them the most. They are rock stars. <3

6 – A visit to the vet for Dutch after some weird behavior from him (having accidents in the house, vomiting, etc.) and him being okay! He ended up having a UTI and a “touch of colitis” but nothing major, all quick, easy fixes. YAY!

7 – Starbucks for breakfast. So yum!

8 – Seeing an alligator during my run! So awesome.

9 – A long, glorious nap, my nephew singing the Barney “I Love You” song to me

10 – Seeing “What to Expect When You Might Be Expecting”. Much cuter/funnier than I anticipated!

11 – Another great, killer boot camp. I could really get used to these!

12 – Tootsie is back after a long vacation!

13 – Starting a new Sarah Dessen novel

14 – Cruise shopping, Panera for dinner

15 – A quiet night in after a stressful day at work. Much needed.

16 – Being productive around the house, shopping for new running shoes

17 – Lunch with my grandparents, a quiet afternoon spent napping, reading, and getting some writing done

18 – Starting a 3-day work week. Woo!

19 – Bonding with my boss more and more. I’m really settling into my role here, even as it keeps changing and growing.

20 – Treating myself to a Starbucks frappuccino before work. Yum, yum!

21 – Boarding the Carnival Paradise

22 – A calm, relaxing day at sea

23 – Zip-lining and shopping in Cozumel, lunch at Senor Frogs

June 25, 2012 294

24 – A lazy day at sea. Due to crappy weather, we spent the day napping, reading, and playing board games. And playing putt-putt golf in the rain! Hardcore!

25 – Making it back to Tampa safely, reuniting with Dutch

26 – Making more 2012 travel plans: Georgia in September, NYC in November.

27 – A quiet lunch alone

28 – My triumphant return to Weight Watchers & receiving a lot of love and support from my Leader

29 – The start of the USA Olympic Trials for gymnastics!

30 – A new haircut that feels a lot more “me”, a night spent with my nephew & brother

    Sounds like a lovely month to me! But holy moly do you ever nap a lot LOL. Although to be honest I wished I could nap more. It’s such an awesome feeling… It’s just that when I fall asleep it’s like I’ve been knocked out. I can nap for like 4 hours before stirring!

    Also YES to day 5. 🙂 Since I leave tomorrow you can expect an e-mail extremely shortly. Wooh!

      I am a champion napper. It’s one of my biggest strengths. Can sleep be a strength? I guess it is for me.

      Still waiting on that email… geez, it’s like you’re busy preparing to leave the COUNTRY or something! 😉

      It’s Monday! You get a reprieve. 🙂

      It’s scared to go to a bob after a longer hairstyle but it’s fun for summer! You should just try it. And if you don’t like it… it’ll grow out!

    You have had some great things happen, last month! Glad to hear that work is getting better for you and way to go on the Spartan challenge! Did you do that all in one day? I may have to give that a try. And then wobble around a bit afterwards 😉

      Yes, I did it in a little over an hour. (I took looooots of breaks during the burpees.) It was hard but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It’s a great workout but be prepared to be VERRRY sore the next day!

      He was in the water below the boardwalk I was on so I wasn’t too nervous. It’s when he’s sunning himself on the grass right next to the sidewalk that freaks me out, ha! But that gator is pretty tame, just minds his own business. 🙂
