Work-Out Information

I thought I'd share with all my lovely followers (and all of you who simply come because I spam facebook/twitter with the link) my work-out routine.

Atleast three days a week I run roughly 3.5-4 miles at the gym. (I set the treadmill to 5.0mph, but sometimes I move it up during the 2nd half of my run, but I do always finish with a sprint)

Atleast once  a week I try to run for a period of one hour. Which means that I should cover anywhere from 5-6 miles by the time I finish with the "cool down"

Atleast twice a week I try to do "power yoga". I watch a video on Netflix (direct to my PC). It's about 42 minutes. When I do that, I try and go to the gym and bike or do a short run (about 20 minutes of cardio). However, sometimes I'll just do the 40 minute "power yoga". Like, I don't know, when there's 20 inches of snow on the ground and walking to the gym is out of the question.

This isn't what I do every week, and I do normally take atleast one day completely off of working out a week, but I try not to do more than two. Sometimes because I really just don't have time, and other times because I'm just plain tired.

In addition to all of that I'd like to get some of the small dunbells from Target or Wal-Mart (5lb-10lbs maybe?) and start working on my arm muscles. My biceps are mildly toned somehow (not sure from what, probably from the massive school bag I bring everyday). but my triceps could really use a little work. I think the little dunbells are only like $5 each so I think it could be a worth-while investment. I'm not trying to look 'buff' I just don't want flabby arms.

What is your workout routine??? 

Thursday Thoughts

WOO HOO! SHIT! (Sure Happy It's Thursday, sillies :P). I can't believe it's finally here... :) But I'm super glad that it is... so here's you're much anticipated "thought update". (Do you guys not like these, do you like the more "list" type blogs, the video blogs?? I don't get much feed back so I'm not sure what people like!)

#1 I have twelve followers now! I am pretty excited! I think I'll be most excited when like some random person that I have no connection to starts following me, but for now I am so stoked about 12 I could pee my pants. (But I won't no worries!)

#2 I woke up at 5:30 this morning and I was so excited! I love when I can get up early. (Don't get me wrong, I love  sleep, but I love getting stuff done early). Anyway, I woke up at 5:30, checked my email, and looked for a yoga video. I found one and started it about 10 of 6. It was a 35 minute video so I finished that just in time to go to the gym for about half an hour when it opened. (I did the bike for 25 minutes, WOO 7 miles!) Then I showered and dried my hair and was ready for my 8AM class. I just feel so acomplished now, and I'll be able to get more done this afternoon! So exciting! :o)

#3 I've decided the first thing I am going to do when I get my first "big girl job" with health care is to get invisalign and a professional whitening. My teeth are one thing that really bug me. They're too crowded from my wisdom teeth growing in... and they're stained from a medicine I was on as a baby. I mean it's not awful staining, but it makes me uncomfortable, and I cover my mouth when I laugh/smile because of it. I know healthcare doesn't normally cover elective procedures, and it probably therefore, won't cover eithe rof those, but I will have a salary, so I should be able to afford it. Especially since I don't think I will need to be on invisalign more than a year. Plus, the first year or two of my employment are when I'll have the most "me" money available, so I think it really is the best time. Does wanting to do that make me conceited? I have a lot of things that aren't perfect about me, and I'd never get plasic surgery (or veneers by the way- why ruin healthy teeth??).. I just want my teeth fixed.

#4- I think I am really going to enjoy my business law class. I love cases, and I'm really good at learning concepts and ideas. *Fingers Crossed*\

#5 Just emailed one of my professors asking if I could set up a time to go to his office weekly to look over the homework we go over in class. He pulls up the solutions in a Word document, and I can't read the numbers very well (okay, be honest Em, at all). In fact, to be compeltely honest, I can't read any of it. I told him I didn't see his listed office hours on the website and to jsut let me know when would be a good time to stop by. Normally at this point the professor woudl tell me he could just print me a copy to look at during class (which I could in theory hand back in if he really doesn't want me to have an "advantage" over other students). OR at least tell me their office hours. Instead, he directs me to a location that I can find them, and tells me to let him know when would work best. Awesome. This is going to be a long semester. If  you can see what comes up on the screen in all your classes, don't take that for granted. I am eternally jealous.

#6 Pandora now has ads on it, and a limited amuont of hours per month that you can be logged in. (Okay, all this changed this summer, but my blog wasn't around then). I am really not okay with these chagnes. It is the complete opposite of the original idea of the website. Just saying.

#7 I am secretly hoping for a snowy Saturday. I know practically speaking that it will be a pain in the butt because it will impede any ability to travel (even to Wal-Mart), but just having an excuse to curl up and read (for class of course) sounds fabulous. (well, minus the "class" part).

#8 Lady Gaga is growing on me. But I don't really LIKE her like her yet.

#9 I wish more people used twitter (Follow me! Emily_Doss) !

#10 I'm going to a "slumber party" next Tuesday (I think??) for my friend's Bachelorette party, and I'm excited. I love Melba, the woman doing it, and I've never been to a Bachelorette one. (Apparently they're different.) Guess we'll see... :o)

Coffee, Twix, Codification, and Becca

Wednesday Thoughts

#1 I watched "Teen Mom" last night on MTV. It was so, so, so, cute. Most of the baby's (except for Leah, who is Amber and Gary's daughter) had their first birthdays! It was too cute! Catelynn and Tyler got engaged, and I know they're way too young (but who am I to talk). But it was still so cute. :)

#2- I am currently watching a video about the "Codification" , which is the consolidation of all the accounting rules into topics, sub topics, etc, etc. It's not really that interesting, but I will need to know this, so it's good that it's provided to us I guess.

#3- I just treated myself to a coffee and a twix this afternoon. It's so bad, but, it's a treat.

#4- I'm starting to think that I have a weather sensitive knee condition. My knees are killing me and I'm not really sure waht to do about it.

#5- Sometimes I miss being an elementary education major.I know it would have gotten harder, but I really feel like everything was always really fun, and I was never "stressed". I love accounting, don't get me wrong, but I feel like it's so serious, and so formal, and sometimes I just want something care free and fun. I obviously won't be changing my major back, but I do miss it sometimes. I am hoping that when I get a job, I can talk to my boss about helping our with Junior Achievement. If you don't know what that is, it's like month or two long weekly visits where people from the community come to elementary and middle school class rooms, and teach the kids about some of the fundamentals of business. I remember they came to my school when I was little, and we had a couple weeks long simulation of owning a donut shop. And it was just kind of cool.. so I think that would be a really fun way to kind of do the 'best of both worlds'. But again, it'd have to be during the school day horus, so whatever boss I had would have to be supportive of my decision.

#6- I saw Bex on campus a few minutes ago and I was pretty excited about it. I love seeing old friends on campus. :o) Turns out she'd be willing to go shoe shopping with me on Saturday at some point, so I'm pretty excited about that.

#7- I have a lot of reading to catch up on and start over the next few days. I think I will be doing a lot more reading during the weekends this semester than I have done before. I feel as though all my classes are just more reading heavy this semester.

#8- I am meeting my friend Laura for dinner tonight, at 5:30. Since my knees are killing me, I think I am going to try and do a little yoga before dinner, instead of the gym. I really want to try and start having something like that that I can do at home, and that is less hard on my body for the days that I don't want to go to the gym.

#9- I love my fiance, and that he reads my blogs everyday. I saw him yesterday at lunch, and he said he'd just read my blog, and meant to come over and rub my neck (which I stated yesterday was sore) to show me he'd read it, but he'd forgotten. I just think that's really sweet. He's probably reading this right now, and his head is probably getting all big. :P

#10- Ever since I lost a little bit of weight, I don't mind wearing dress clothes as much. I used to feel like they were very restricting, but they don't feel that way anymore. I can sit in a button down top, and not feel like its too tight. And, I can wear dress pants without feeling like they fit funny. I'm pretty glad about that, because I have to dress up a lot. I actualyl kind of ike it, I love the pretty colors and the jewelery. I really just need to work on finding shoes.
