That’s 5 minutes @ 6.0mph, 4 minutes @ 6.5, 3 minutes @ 7.0, 2 minutes @ 7.5 and 1 minute at 8.0. The time totally flew, and I will definitely be repeating this routine again.

i’m an optimist but i do also get annoyed with mean/rude ppl….love those tj burgers BTW!
Kayla 04.01.2011
I’m totally an optimist. Maybe 0.25% of the time I’m not.
And we’re actually in Des Moines today and the sky was gorgeous. The clouds were so big and pretty.
Faith @ lovelyascharged 04.01.2011
I’m totally optimistic, but Im also easily annoyed. I would have SEETHED in that parking lot!
As a side note, I also see a bicycle in the clouds? And menage is DELISH, as is gobs of cheese!
Clare @ Fitting It All In 04.01.2011
I hate rude people! I had a lady intentionally go the wrong way into a parking lot so she could take the last spot that I was clearly trying to get. Then she got out of the car and smirked at me as I drove by spot-less.
I’m a natural optimist!
Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun 04.01.2011
SO many things to comment on in this post! I immediately saw the rabbit too. LOVE those Chili Lime Chicken burgers. Your prep of them sounds amazing. That lady in the parking lot sounds insane. What is with some people?! Killer workout! Your 3-2-1 workout is great, so I know this one will be fabulous too.
Karen 04.01.2011
Ohh I cried at the gory part of that movie. Not to say don’t watch it – it’s very good and inspiring. But yeah, cover your eyes. :/
Looks beautiful where you are!
I try to be an optimist, but I have a natural tendency to assume the worst in situations. Something I am working on stopping. And yeah, I get annoyed pretty easily too! But I’m also trying to work on letting things go, even if people are jerks.
Autumn @ Good Eats Girl 04.01.2011
I try to be optimistic all of the time, but it’s so hard because I get annoyed easily sometimes!
I’m completely jealous of those pretty skies….it snowed here today! Ugh!
Emily M 04.01.2011
I actually just finished watching 127 Hours! It was pretty good. Not really gory but “the scene” is pretty dramatic.
Kim 04.01.2011
I read Aron Ralston’s book so I definitely wanted to see 127 Hours. I definitely don’t do well with gore so I didn’t know if I could take it. I just hid my eyes when I knew it was coming and I did fine. I like true movies like that because they make my problems seem pretty small. Last night I went to see “My Run” and it was about a 57 year old with heart problems and a bit overweight who ran 75 marathons in 75 days. He ran from Minnesota to Atlanta to bring awareness about the plight of single parents. It made handling my quad burning bike ride today much easier after remembering him.

I’m an optimist! Sometimes almost too far, where I will ‘twist’ reality to see the bright side … guess that would be an idealist. But my husband leans more towards being a pessimist, so we balance each other.
Funny side note … a few of my son’s friends (college age) were over recently and they were discussing the half-full or half-empty perspective of a glass … and one guy said, “The real problem is the glass is the wrong size.” Not surprising, he was the engineer major :)
As for 127 hours … good movie, but I couldn’t take the gory scene either. I almost lost my leg in an accident, so that scene was too close to home for me … but I was inspired by the overall movie.

I was cracked up about the wine comment! Matt and I love it too. We pretend that we’re much trendier and that it’s a nicer wine by calling it “the menage” too! As in, “Can I interest you in a glass of The Menage?”
Machelle 04.01.2011
That chx burger looks really good! Like the flavor combo! I am a “see the glass half full” type person, always trying to look on the bright side of things, but I’m a “once bitten, twice shy” type too.
Laura 04.01.2011
How rude! Maybe that biotch that flipped you off is a fan of yours and when she reads this will feel reaaaallly bad. :)
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles 04.01.2011
I have to agree – I get annoyed very easily! However, my husband is such a calm person, so I’m trying to learn from him!
Britt 04.01.2011
So lucky it was sunny by you! It actually snowed here a little bit last night!!! Just a little tiny bit. Then the entire day was gray. :( I’m a total pessimist by the way.
Maddie 04.01.2011
I also hate gore-y movies! Finally, someone else who still hides their eyes at the first sign of trauma haha. Not ashamed either :)
Have a great Friday!
Jennifer 04.01.2011
I hate when things like that happen on my beloved Fridays!! What’s funny is that kind of stuff ALWAYS happens in Target parking lots for me and a friend of mine. It’s weeeirrrd!
Is the term ‘Flicked off’ a midwestern thing? We say ‘Flipped off’ here on the west coast. ‘Flicked off’ is cute, and I’m going to say it and make it popular in the San Francisco/East Bay circles!!!!
Have a great weekend!!
Britt 04.01.2011
I’m from PA & we say flicked off, I’ve never heard anyone say flipped off before. Interesting.
Jennifer 04.01.2011
Britt, have you heard of the term, “Flip the bird”? I love hearing all of the sayings in other parts of the country. It’s very interesting to me, like a whole other language.
Iowa Girl Eats 04.01.2011
I’ve heard both too – but have always called it “flicking off”!
laura 04.01.2011
I say both flicking off and flipping off and I’ve had people question the flicking off phrase here in New Mexico.
dmcgirl 04.01.2011
I have never heard Flicked off. So cute! It is Flipped Off on the West Coast. But people are so chill here we never do it…. um yeah, right!
Katie 04.01.2011
Haha, we say “flipped” in Oklahoma.
AmyLou 04.01.2011
It’s much easier and less stressful just to be nice. Seriously. I don’t get why so many people can’t understand that basic concept!! Being angry, holding a grudge, blowing your top when something minor happens. . . just unnecessary in most cases!
I too have also been guilty of accidentally pulling out or cutting someone off, despite looking twice (or thinking I had) – and I always try to do the “I’m sorry” wave – I would NEVER do what she did. Road rage kills. Even if not on the road – those people are going to give themselves heart attacks!!
Jess@atasteofconfidence 04.01.2011
Wow, people can be so mean! Geesh.
Sky looks great!
Dishes of Mrs. Fish 04.01.2011
I agree, it does take so much energy to be mean!
I try to be optimistic, but sometimes it’s so hard!
