Sunday Funday!

I'm so glad this week is over because it has been a tough week for me!  I've had to be at work at like 5:30 am everyday this week, with lots of stuff going on all day, and the puppy takes all my free time at night!  He was so chill and nice for the first couple days we had him last week, but then he got comfortable with us and now he acts so hyper!  Basically I come home every night and have to pay attention to him every single second, like pet him, play tug of war, etc.  Otherwise he wimpers and barks at me, and makes me feel guilty with his sad eyes.  He won't let me sit down for a moment, because as soon as I do, he will jump on me and start to fight, bite and hump me!  And finally when I go to bed at night, he feels the need to dig me out from under my blanket - I think he gets scared when he can't see my legs so he tries to rescue me.  Sigh... high maintenance!  We need to get him neutered ASAP, because I've barely had time to study this week.  Even as I'm typing this right now, he's here bugging me.  But he's so cute though lol.  Ugh!

Anyway, so let's get on with this post and then I can go play some more.

I actually broke my streak of working out 5 days a week for the past 2 months or so.  This week I only went 4 times.  I even packed my stuff to go on Friday, but I got too tired after I got off work and I wasn't feeling well.  I think I just needed to rest.  Whatever, playing tug of war with the puppy is actually really hard work since he is so strong, so I probably burned a lot more calories this week than usual!

Tuesday 2/14
What I did:  This week I got to finish stage 2 of my workout plan.  I was going to move onto stage 3 on Friday, but since I didn't go to the gym, I will start fresh next week!  So on Tuesday I did my workout A of stage 2.

What I wore:  Darn!  I forgot to wear pink for Valentine's day.  I should have worn my paris pink Practice Freely tank!  But I wore my white cool racerback, with very violet 50 Rep bra.  And I wore my power purple passion crop, and New Balance Minimus Road shoes.



I love my cool racerbacks, I actually wore one for work on the same day!  Here is the lavender one, with my Green Dragon cardigan over it.  And Express Wide Waistband Editor pant in cool earth.  I love sneaking in yoga/casual clothes into my work outfits.



Wednesday 2/15
What I did:  Workout B of stage 2.




And the same day for work, I wore my Abercrombie Elaine Sweater over a white Banana Republic tank top, and this old Express skirt I bought years ago.  Topped it off with my Michael Kors Fleur Tall boot.



Thursday 2/16:  Rest day

Friday 2/17:  This was the day I skipped gym.  However, I do have a work outfit... here's I am wearing the Green Dragon silk flower top, with a charcoal Zara tuxedo style suit jacket over it.  And black Express Wide Waistband Editor pant.  And Ivanka Trump Pinkish pumps.


Saturday 2/18
What I did:  Interval training.  I was still tired so the runs kind of killed me even though I sprinted at a slower speed than usual.  

What I wore:  Lululemon cool racerback in aruba, with caribe/gulf undulation Not So Deep V bra.  It's interesting because I didn't realize that this bra has aruba in it.  It has an outline in aruba, and the middle layer mesh in the front is also aruba.  As you can see here:



I wore my coal groove pants, and Nike Free shoes.  I keep forgetting to not wear these shoes when I do cross training.  They are good for running, but when I do squads or lunges, my feet start to slide towards the sides of the shoes and it's uncomfortable.



I wore my angel blue Define jacket as to/from.  I love the Define jacket, but I don't love how the collar is not stitched down on the inside, and does not lay flat.  That's why I have not bought another one.


Sunday 2/19
What I did:  Interval training class again, with circuit weight stations.  

What I wore:  Lululemon cool racerback in lavender, and white Flow Y bra under.  Astro wunder under crops in black denim slub.  NB shoes again.



As to/from, I wore my Turn Around LS and Seychelles True Story boot.  I had lunch plans in Malibu afterwards, so I wore my boots. 



It took me a long time to finish typing this post with Whiskey bothering me.  I got mad at him and yelled at him, and had to move places.  Lol.  Oh how I am not looking forward to having a kid.

  1. Hi MSE-- I am wondering if your pup is acting out a little because he was so used to being with someone all day in a confined place (the car). Are you crate-training? When you go to work maybe if you leave some items of clothing that have your and your hubby's scent on them he won't feel so lonely. I used to leave the TV on for my older dog when he was a pup and I went to work so there would a least be noise in the house for him. Or you could always get him a playmate ;)

    1. I think he is definitely used to some routines from his prev owner. He probably came back to his car at night and played with him a lot then. But we actually have quite different schedules sometimes so he is only alone for a few hours a day at the most. And yet still wants to play at night! We have to teach him that night time means calm time. Lol. I can't even imagine having 2 puppies to deal with...

  2. Will you post some new puppy photos? Would be fun to see how he tugs/chews on his wonderful master! ;-)

    1. What's a maki? I actually didn't really do anything for valentines day. I don't normally. I used to hate this day when I was single. Lol.

    2. We do not celebrate either,I don't like this date for the same reason to you but I just want to eat. You are normal! ;)
      Maki: it looks like sushi! I love California Roll!! Have you tasted?

  4. Cesar Milan to the rescue! Watch some episodes, it will help. Look for the ones where dogs come from neglect/abusive situations. Cesar breaks down the psychology of these situations well. Wish you well.

    1. Thanks! I'll check it out... I definitely don't think he was abused. Neglected during the day maybe. I know his previous owner loved dogs but just couldn't afford him anymore. He now finally understands that he will always have food so he doesn't eat like he's been starving all day. Would be nice to understand his psychology to know how to deal with him! Thanks for the tip =)

    1. I saw that! So excited... I ordered the aquamarine one! I wonder how different it will be in luxtreme as opposed to lullure. I didn't know which size to order so I went with 6 just to be safe... The old tank in lullure I could take either 4 or 6 but 4 could be a little too much boobage

    2. I want one, too! But I don't see myself actually using it for working out. I'd be all about it for casual wear in the summer, but I don't see it being supportive enough for all the crazy running and jumping around I normally do.

      Delete
    3. Hmm it's probably not supportive enough for running and jumping around. Though I have wore mine to do just that and thought it was ok. I don't need super supportive tanks though since I'm not that well endowed. Lol. It's a great tank for yoga/pilates/dance type of workout though! And awesome for the summer time as street wear. I highly recommend. =)

  7. Love the Michael Kors boots. And the Seychelles boots for that matter too...
    Good luck with your pup. Can you or your hubby take him for a long walk after work to tire him out? It can count as your "cool down" when you get back from the gym :) We got our dog when she was almost 4 so we missed out on the puppy stage. I would have liked to know what she was like as a little dog, but also happy to have missed out on some puppy behaviors.

    1. Thanks! You are right, we need to take him running or something every afternoon to tire him out so he won't be so crazy late at night. Plus next week he's getting neutered! My downstairs neighbor actually came up to complain tonight about all his jumping and running around (we live in a condo building). I can understand where they are coming from, but what do they want me to do about it? Constrain the puppy? Lol... they shouldn't have bought a place with upstairs neighbors. Haha! Just kidding... but I sure am glad we don't have people above us. =)
