Workout Week Four

I did really horrible this week! Between no air conditioner at work and working on repairs around the farm I just didn't have the time or energy to work out. I will do better this week though I promise!

Week Four

Strength Training: Wednesday & Sunday
Yoga/Pilates: None
Biking: Thursday (2 miles) & Sunday (2 miles)
Walking: Tuesday (1 mile)

Yeah, not great. I guess I just didn't feel like doing anything because after sitting at work for 6-8 hours in 100F degree temps I didn't feel like going home and sweating some more lol. Not to mention I had a work dinner I had to go to and I had to help a friend move on Monday in the 120F heat index temps (I sweated enough for that to count as a workout hehe). I'll do better this week.

Hot!!

Okay, I used to ask people if they would prefer to be too cold or too hot and then I'd be amazed when they said too cold (I get cold very easily), now I think I understand . . .

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we had no working air conditioner at work (for six to eight hour shifts). . . none! We had both doors open and fans blowing, but it was still 100F inside the building. With the doors open it was very muggy too so there's no telling what the heat index was. The heat index for all three days outside was 120F!! And it felt hotter inside than outside. I was so hot by Friday I almost passed out. I was very dizzy and nauseous, but ice wrapped in a wet rag revived me. It totally sucked. Now I have to reconsider my answer to that question. :)

Thankfully we have air conditioning now. And yes I think it was dangerous and very stupid that they didn't close the store down (or let us close it down). We didn't even get a thank you for risking our health to keep their stupid store open. If they hadn't gotten the new unit put in last night I wasn't going to show up for work today. There is only so much I can handle. I don't even want to go outside to play with the horses and Chrome really needs a bath. :( I'll just wait until dark. Anyway the point of this long pointless, random post is that I'm sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but things have been kind of hectic.

Jackal Has Something To Share

Hey guys, it's Jackal talking today. I have a couple of things I want to share. First of all I got mail from Honey the Great Dane. For those of you who follow the blog you know I won the best costume award in Honey's Dancing with the Doggie Stars competition. I finally got my certificate and medal! I'm so excited. Check out the pictures.

See! My name was on the letter!

Since the mail people had crumpled it up a little already mom let me have it.
Of course I had to slap it with my paw, but I didn't know how to open it so she helped.

My certificate! I'll have to see if mom will let me frame it. Look Honey even signed it herself.

Don't I look good in my medal? Mom put it on backward so you see the Dancing logo.

Here's what it says on the front.

Mom was sad this one was blurry. I think I look handsome. :)

I also wanted to tell you that mom has been too busy to help me practice my July trick, but since it's August now I went ahead and put up the new poll (please vote!), but I'll keep working on it and all of my other tricks so that at the end of the year I can make a video showing all of the new tricks I learned for 2011.
