Spring is Coming!
How do I know? Well, there's the lovely weather we had this weekend, and then... softball is starting this week! Yup! We were invited to play by the guy who's in charge of Ryan's flag-football and basketball leagues, so we accepted! I think he plays in some unGodly number of leagues, so we told him that I would be willing to do 2 per week and Ryan would max out at 3... so we're both currently signed up for 2 co-ed leagues that start this week... Mondays and Fridays. Hooray! Oh, but here's the catch, both leagues are up in Westminster. Oops. We did NOT know that when we signed up. We thought we were playing at Redstone Park here in Highlands Ranch. Alas, nope. Instead of a 5 minute drive down the road, it'll be 45 minutes on a good day! Yikes. Oh well, hopefully it'll be a fun team.
Yesterday we dusted off the cleats, gloves, bats, and balls, and spent a good chunk of the afternoon enjoying the gorgeous weather over at Redstone Park hitting grounders and pop-flies to one another, then threw the ball for a bit and topped it all off with a few tokens worth of balls at the batting cages (which truly is my favorite part)... whewee, good stuff! It was good fun, way better than in California. We kept talking about how not fun it had become out there and we can't figure it out... we think that the fields were so poorly cared for that we just both hated the constant unknown of where the grounders were going to take their bad-hops and when we'd get one where it counted... (ie, face for me, and "junk" for the hubs... heh heh). So even though we're both a bit rusty, we truly are looking forward to getting back in the swing of things (heh heh, pun intended...).
So our first game is tonight at 8:15pm... followed by Friday at 6:15pm... wish us luck!!! I'll report back in with scores and details :)
Happy St. Patrick's Day EVE! :)
** UPDATE **
We won our first game on Monday, and our Friday-night-game has been moved from 6:15 to 8:15pm, which is a blessing because I was not looking forward to driving through Denver on a Friday night right in the midst of rush-hour! Phew!

If I were independently wealthy...
... I would have a full VERT membership, a full TaeBo membership, and a full Corepower Yoga membership, and I'd bop around from one fabulous gym to the next. I always feel SO fabulous when I am at these places working out, I'm so centered and focused, and then I feel great when I leave. It's so invigorating and amazing. It's painful and it hurts, but it's just good stuff. I wish I could afford to keep them all up! However, the decision is going to have to be made here in April... to whom do I pay the big bucks? I'm thinking I'll pay for the TaeBo, and then maybe get my teaching certification and hope that she'll give me a free membership as my pay. THAT would be wonderful. Then I could afford the occasional drop-in yoga class or VERT session.
What brings this on, you may ask? Well, this weekend I felt gross... so frumpy, ew... and then sure enough, Monday I "weighed-in" at a number I haven't seen in like 2 years. Not SO horrible, but not what I want to see. So Monday I dragged myself back to an amazing kick-butt TaeBo class at 5:45pm, then this morning I went and let Jeremy kick my bum with a ridiculous VERT session, and then I joined Jamie for a Hot Yoga class at CPY. What a day. I could seriously be happy as a clam if I could go to a TaeBo or VERT session in the morning, and then hit yoga in the evening, not always hot yoga, but just yoga. It'd be awesome! And of course I was tortured by fantastic Lululemon clothing in the yoga studio... if only it were my job to wear those all day. Maybe being an instructor is my calling. :)
Lately I've really been struggling a bit with depression. I feel sad for Ryan that he has to deal with me in such a stuper. I don't know what it is. I think I'm just dissatisfied with work and then overwhelmed by my to-do list otherwise. Plus, it's really hard to work at a job I don't particularly like from home when surrounded by all the things on my to-do list. By the end of the day I'm just grumpy! Not good. So that's why I'm really trying to work from 7am-4pm and then skidaddle to an evening workout so I can "reboot" between work and home. It's tough. I can tell when I let the two merge and don't get enough "me time". It's bad. So I really need to ensure that I stay focused, that I take some time to myself, and that I figure out a schedule for my life that keeps me motivated and happy, and also that allows me to have a neat and tidy home, because I find that I eat poorly, make bad decisions, lounge more and am more depressed when my house is a mess. So that needs to be a priority.
Anyways, so there you have my state of mind and my goals and wishes... hopefully I can stay on target and stay happy. :)
~Love always~

VERT !!!
Okay! Hello! Sorry I've fallen out of my blogging routine, but this might be more like how it goes for me... this is always how I've been with journaling anything, so no big surprise... if I have something to say, and time to say it, then here I am, if I'm busy or boring, then sorry Charlie, I got nuthin'. ;)
Anyways, so today I went to my first freebie VERT session... What is VERT?, you may say... well, VERT is an acronym that stands for Velocity Enhanced Resistance Training. Essentially, the amount of resistance you are working against, is directly proportional to the rate at which you're performing the exercise. If you are very slow, then no resistance is added... if you are very quick, then lots of resistance. It's intense. Here's a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7AtSBAvJi8. Or you can go to www.vertfitness.com to check it out as well.
I was able to experience this amazing opportunity as part of my 3-month trial membership to 5280 Sport & Fitness in Highlands Ranch. With the 3 months unlimited classes at 5280, I also received 1 month free VERT sessions! They recommend that you participate in TaeBo for a month before trying VERT, so I did, and today was my first ever attempt at VERT. I was scared. I won't lie. But it was AWESOME. Oh, it was hard... very hard... I was DRIPPING with sweat... but all the same, it was an amazing workout, and what a cool experience to have such personalized training. It was just myself and another woman with a personal trainer.
Here's what we did in our hour-long session...
First I warmed up on the treadmill for 10 mins at about a 9:30 min mile or so
Then we started with some exercises not using the VERT machines:
- 1 minute of toe-tapping on platforms (30 seconds on a platform about 6 inches high and 30 seconds on one about 12 inches high)
- 1 minute of one-legged squats with side-leg-raise (30 second on one side, then switch legs)
- 1 minute of push-ups with one hand on the floor and one hand on a 12 pound medicine ball, that we would roll from one hand to the other between push-ups
---- we repeated this circuit 3 times (OUCH)
Our next circuit utilized the VERT machines that have pos and neg resistance (so in both directions):
- 30 reps of quick squats
- 30 reps of bench press
- 30 reps of an exercise using pullys (one in each hand) and we would squat with one leg on a bosu-ball while pulling the pullys back, then as we released the pullys up, we would hop up and over on the bosu, and then squat down on the other side while pulling the pullys back again...
---- this was also repeated 3 times (more OUCH)
Next circuit:
- 2 minutes standing on an inverted bosu in a half-squat position while using one of those arm bicycle thingys for our arms (basically like pedaling a bike but with your hands...???)... forwards for 30 seconds, then backwards 30, then repeat forward 30 and then back another 30
- 2 minutes strapped to one of the pullys around your waist, we'd run out at a 45 degree angle like 3 or 4 steps, lunge down and tap a cone, back-pedal, turn to the other 45 degree angle and run out and touch a cone on that side, and back... over and over.
---- repeated 3 times (yeowzahh)
Final Circuit:
- 1 minute hopping on the ground side to side in rings that Jeremy laid on the floor (there were like 8 rings, staggered 2 per row, basically... then when you get to the end, turn and go back, over and over)
- 30 reps of over-head press on the VERT machines
- 1 minute of standing row (kind of... holding a weighted bar with hands close together, and then pulling straight up to your chin with your elbows out to the side)
---- this one we repeated only twice (phewf)
Then we stretched and called it a day. WHEWEE!!! Burn baby burn! It was INSANE! I loved it!!! So even though I will dread it and be scared of it and it will hurt... I signed up for it again on Thursday morning, and then next Tues/Thurs as well!!!! Yeah! So I'll be doing TaeBo on Mon/Wed/Sat and then VERT o n Tues/Thurs and Power Yoga (also offered there) on Fridays. Yay! Eventually when my membership runs out, I hope to be in stellar shape and it will be warm out and I can get back to running outdoors... :)
So anyways, that's my news of the day... I'm trying to avoid the topic of sadness in my life (my brother and his wife are separating and are probably divorcing)... so this is really my big UP for now... please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers as we struggle through this loss... we are sad to lose a wife, sister, daughter and friend...
Much love always,

An Early Valentine's Day...
Last night Ryan and I celebrated Valentine's Day early! I hate fighting with the crowds on the actual holiday, and I can only imagine that on a Saturday it'll be even worse than usual. Eek! So we decided to do it this week! For our 3rd wedding anniversary in October, my parents gave us a very generous gift certificate to the Brown Palace Hotel & Spa which we decided would be best spent at their very swanky restaurant, The Palace Arms. My parents had taken us there in celebration of our 30th birthdays back in August and we loved it.
So I picked Ryno up at work at around 6:45 and we scooted downtown to the BPH and what an amazing experience! The valet met us at the door and took our car, then the maitre'D greeted us "Mr. & Mrs. Williams, yes?" and took our coats and seated us in a booth where we could both sit on the same side of the table and look out to people-watch... fabulous ;) Then they do kind of a team-waiting thing, so we had about 4 or 5 servers... so first they got us water and then brought us the wine list, and then the wine guy came by to help us select between 2 pinot noirs... we went with one from the Willamette Valley in Oregon and it was fantastic. Then the bread-lady came by and offered us from an assortment of rolls and crackers on a large tray... yum. And then they brought us their menu and explained all the foods to us... mmm... we made our selections... we both got the 5 Course Taste Sampler where we each got to choose an appetizer, soup, salad, entree, and dessert.
Ryan chose the Beef Wellington appetizer, which was very different from what you're thinking. it only sat on a small piece of puff-pastry, and there was fois gras and pate ... divine. I got the crabcake appetizer which was a small crabcake setting in the center of a delicious citrus cream sauce that had a little kick to it... just amazing. Then the soup du jour was a cauliflower soup, we were both skeptical, but it was phenomenol. It was followed by an arugula salad, and then we both got the same entree, the famous Bison Filet that sets upon some kind of a little cake/bread of some kind, with a smear of fois gras and then there is the most amazing sauce drizzled overtop. Good GRIEF, people. I have no words to describe how delicious this is. No words. I mean, it's fan-freaking-tastic. Orgasmic. There, I said it. Then for dessert they came and made Bananas Foster table-side. OMG. What a menu.
I loved how all of the courses were "tastes" so they were much smaller than a full portion and thus though we were very satisfied at the end of the night and couldn't eat anything else, we took our salty chocolates with us to-go, we were by no means stuffed and uncomfortable or sick or anything. It was just perfect.
And quite a treat, not something you do everyday, or every month, we discussed and we'd like to treat ourselves once a year. Perhaps we'll get another gift certificate next year that we can use :)
Thank you Mama & Papa Dward! What a WONDERFUL Valentine's Day!

IOU Pictures!
Okay! Well, IOU pictures of the master bedroom. Last Friday it was another balmy day here in Denver, so I was able to open all the windows and paint our master bedroom finally! As mentioned on Thursday, I already had the paints picked out and purchased... I got Midsummer Gold as my dark accent color, and Slender Reed as my base. I was hoping to at minimum get the large window wall painted in Midsummer Gold and then the 2 accent borders as well while I had the color out and going... but when I finished those I was on such a roll that I decided to keep plugging and did the other 3 walls in the Slender Reed! Woot! I ran out of slender reed before I was able to get one section way up high, but it can wait. I will paint that when I finally paint our master bath this spring. I'm hoping to carry the slender reed into the bathroom as the base color and then use 'Treasured Jade' (a dreamy blue color) as the accent. Fab!
So anyways, it was a huge success and I don't think that these pictures do it anywhere close to justice, I am NO photographer and don't know how to make the flash do magical things to ensure that the colors come across right, but as promised, I'm posting some pics.
Also, please excuse the furniture mess that is my master bedroom. We fully intend to stain our nightstands to be more of a mahogany color, and then we have the dresser to match but it hasn't made the move up to the new house yet... 7 months later... still waiting... grrr. And then all our furniture will match. I'm also hoping to make us an apholstered headboard that has light/sconces built in. I know, I have high hopes, but maybe someday HGTV will come help me. HA! :)
Enjoy!

Pinch Me...
For real? Is it February in Colorado? Because here I sit at my kitchen table working with ALL of the windows open in my home... it's going to be 68 degrees in Denver today. Is that absurd to anyone else but me? WHOA. Don't worry, it's supposed to snow by Saturday night. Ah yes, if you don't like Denver's weather, stick around for a day or 2, it'll change... drastically. HA!
Anyways, I think I'm going to take advantage of the ridiculous weather and finally paint my master bedroom tomorrow! It's an off-Friday for me and I was considering going up to the mountains to ski, but I really want to get that room painted so why not take advantage of the ODD winter weather and being able to have the windows open?! So, tomorrow my bedroom will become 'Slender Reed' and 'Midsummer Gold'. Lovely. (Check them out at www.freshairechoice.com - Loves it!)
As for today, I have quite a bit of work to hammer out before calling it a week, so I'd best hop-to-it, probably. However, it's going to be a rough day because I could NOT fall asleep last night. I think I lay awake in my bed till like 2:30am or so before finally dozing off. Argh! What's up with that?! My brain was on rapid-fire. That's how I came up with the paint-plan, actually... I was able to sleep in a bit this morning though since I didn't have any meetings, so that was good. I'm going to give myself the day off from TaeBo Madness as well and rest the bod and brain a bit. I have a volleyball game tonight and that will suffice for activity. I am in SO much pain/soreness from this week's classes! The 'Old School' circuit class on Tuesday was a DOOZIE. It was pure awesomeness, but Good GRAVY! I'm barely able to hobble around. I thought going to TaeBo last night would help break up the lactic acid and reduce the soreness, but alas, I'm just hobbling around even worse! It was a toughie class! So I'm walking like I'm 80. No biggie. Volleyball should be interesting. Hopefully I'm a bit more mobile than Nana by then. Sheesh!!!
And today is February 5th, so I'd like to give a shout-out to my Daddio... Happy Birthday, Dad!!! Yay! And today he shares his birthday with my cousin's son, Joshua Reilly Kelley-Cohen, born this morning in Maine. I will share more details when his mothers pass it along.
Correction!!! I just got word that Joshua was actually born yesterday, February 4th at 9:31pm and was a whopping 9 lbs 13 oz... good LORD! Whewee... giant healthy baby boy! :) Welcome, Joshua!!!
Best to all, today!
