Puppies, pain, good moods

January 26th, 2010


All fun and cuddles before someone gets mauled in the face

What a week, seriously. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve been feeling so hyper and just plain awesome the past two weeks – so much energy, and good sleep, and eating well… all just results in this irrepressible good mood that is quite possibly very annoying to anyone not feeling it. Whatever, I’m rolling with it and will continue this awesome mood as long as possible!

One of the highlights of this week so far is the new puppy from next door at work. Her name is Sam, and she’s an 8 week old Staffy puppy. It doesn’t hurt that her owner is quite hot – don’t think that there is a better combo than hot guy and cute puppy! Plus, the ladies in the office have been invited to visit puppy whenever we want, bonus.

Then there is the pain. For once, I am totally relieved and happy to note that the back is finally fine – it’s my calf, thigh and butt muscles that are paying the price this week. After finally getting back to running on Sunday, I’ve been pushing it. Today I went to gym for some variation, back to an hour cadio overall (20 mins stepper, 20 x recumbent bike, 20 x cross trainer) and was totally ready to take on anything after my session – it was so damn good, not quite like running but still good! A shake with added banana (mixed up with ice cubes in my smoothe maker) and a glass or two of wine, and I’m still feeling so full of beans.

The way I see it, it’s a knock-on effect. The better I eat, the more healthy I feel. The more healthy I feel, the more energy I have. The more energy I have, the harder I run/gym. Overall, the more I stick to a good routine, the happier I feel. It’s all just awesome and I love feeling so great.

In other news, payday is around the corner and tomorrow is Hump Day. :-)
