25 Things

Happy Saturday. My favorite part of US Weekly is a section they do with celebrities called “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me”. I thought I would do my own version of it. Enjoy!

1. I spend anywhere from 3-10 bucks daily in coffee
2. I never go anywhere now without a lint roller because of Miss Buffay and her shedding issues
3. I forgive but I NEVER forget
4. I love when people tell me I smell good
5. Besides my family, I basically have 2 friends, DiPeppe (BFF) and Alexis. Up until a few months ago it was one friend, and then I met Alexis at the gym
6. I still sleep with my baby blankets
7. If I could only have one condiment for the rest of my life it would be the awesome orange/duck sauce from PF Changs. Seriously I could bathe in it.
8. I hate when people tell me no, and I absolutely LOVE making it a yes and proving people wrong
9. I love a sappy love ballad over a fast beat track any day
10. I ate dog food as a kid and the story still haunts me to this day…
11. Speaking of dogs, If I didn’t have Phoebe, I’d get a miniature French Bulldog. I like the black and white ones!
12. I have endometriosis, a very painful condition where the lining of the uterus grows on the outside of the organ and invades other tissues in the body. It’s the reason why I often say I am “sick” on my blog
13. My favorite Justin Timberlake song is probably no one else’s favorite. Chop Me Up
14. The best vacation I had was a time I went to Disney World with my parents, sister, and our boyfriends. I was 18. Her boyfriend is now her husband, mine is um… NOT!
15. If I’m upset about something or anxious, I sleep in my recliner in the living room and not my bed
16. My top teeth are fake
17. Sometimes I wish Facebook never existed
18. As I kid I really couldn’t talk until I was about 6 and went through speech therapy and I thank my mom so much for sticking to her guns on that one 🙂
19. They say live without regrets, I have regrets
20. Thanks to texting, I can go a day or 2 without saying a word
21. If I wasn’t a PA, I’d be a teacher and also teach aerobics during the summers
22. I don’t really understand tattoos, there is nothing I’d want on my body forever
23. I have a terrible doctors signature
24. I buy my mom the US weekly and People every Friday
25. I thought Grey’s Anatomy was a joke with soap opera drama until I started working in a hospital

Number 12 was a first for me admitting to. But it’s something I’ve never addressed. I plan to discuss it a little more in the future. Baby steps!

Now that I have given you fun facts about me… here is what we’ve missed these past couple of days.

I lost one of my favorite zip ups at work and finally found it on a floor I rarely go to. My YAY! face

I went to the gym yesterday and did a pretty solid back day. 30 minutes on the stair master too.

I think the women’s gym has a skinny mirror by the way…

Here was my workout:

• Single leg dead lifts, 15 lb kettle in hand, 10 reps x 4 sets each leg
• Good Mornings with 50 lb barbell, 15 reps x 4 sets
• Barbell rows, 50 lbs, 12 reps x 4 sets
• Dead lifts, 135 lbs, 10 reps x 4 sets
• Lat pulldowns with 30 lb barbell, 12 reps x 3 sets
• Assisted pullups, 10-12 reps x 4 sets
• Rear delt flys, 20 lb weights, 12 reps x 4 sets
• Reverse booty pikes, 12 reps x 4 sets
• Kettle bell rows, 25 lbs, 12 reps x 4 sets
• Side bends, 25 lb weight, 10 reps x 3 sets each side

No muffin top here!

What my hair looks like when I take it down after a workout.. a MESS!

I finally brought Phoebe home too. She was happy to snuggle with mama.

Hitting shoulders today! Do these for your booty workout:

• 40 bosu squats
• 50 booty bridges
• 60 Machine glute kick backs (30 each leg)
• 40 Weighted Plie Squats with pulses

Have a great day 🙂

XOXO With a Cherry On Top,
