Random I Know...

I know this is weird because I don't know them. But Im so excited that Kristen Bell is Prego! I love her and if you havent seen the Sloth Video I suggest you leave and go watch it right now.

Silently Stalking

Hi Ya'll I'm totally stealing Holly's thunder today. She had written about leaving other bloggers comments today and it had got me thinking and typing! I have silently stalking reading some really good blogs lately! Be sure to check out the blogs I follow on the bottom right of my page(and comment and let me know of other good blogs you follow!) Also, be sure to comment on peoples blogs. Blogging is such a hard thing to remember to constantly keep up on when things get busy and sometimes just knowing that someone else is reading the mumbo-jumbo that you put out in the world just feels good! So spread the love and comment on someone’s blog!

 In other news… I went for a run last night and almost died. Ugh! It was a rough one I’m not sure why but I just couldn’t get out of my own head. I couldn’t just get in the grove I was complaining about how it was cold, I was having a hard time breathing and now my legs where cramping. I feel horrible about it. I am very competitive and hold myself to high standards so I get really disappointed when I don’t do my best. So tonight I’ve gotta make my run my bitch. Wish me luck!

Bad case of the Mondays

Need a weekend from my weekend...

Wow, I had such a great weekend. I hope you all did as well! Mine started off Friday evening with the soon to be hubs taking me out for date night. He is such a stud! He took me to dinner at the place we first met then he took me to a movie I had wanted to see (at the same theater we had gone to the first night we met.) Isn’t that adorable?! He was trying to get laid

Then Saturday I woke up early went for a 3.5 mile walk with my friend Megan followed by a 2 mile run and then lastly a 3.5 walk with R. So I got some serious mileage in. After going home and showering we went out Saturday night with some friends and family for my sister in laws birthday! It was so fun but I definitely had way too much to drink. I never really drink anymore and after losing as much weight as I have this year I definitely don’t know my limits.  So I woke up Sunday morning with a hangover from Hell. Only to hurry and get ready to go to the Seahawks game where we killed the Vikings!!

Fast forward to now... Monday morning at work and in need of a serious weekend to my weekend... It’s going to be a long week! I also only have 11 days until my first 5K so I need to get some serious running in this week! Hope you guys have a great Monday!!

Hello November...

Happy November Ya’ll!! (Extra shout-out since its Friday!! I don’t know about you but this weekend is much needed.) It’s hard to believe it’s only 14 days until my first 5K, only 52 days til xmas, and 196 days until Our Big Day!!

(They don't look like us, but I'm too cheap to pay for it! I got a wedding to save for)

 Last night, I wore my new jacket for a run and I have to say I LOVE it!! I finally got a picture of it for all of ya!

BTW I feel the need to clarify this is my work bathroom! LOL I leave to go running right from work

 

I also want to take a moment to say I love Washington!! I know sometimes the rain gets a little depressing (it doesn’t rain half as much as people think) but when you have a fall that looks like this, I remember why I love this place so much!

 

Any--whoo not much else new here today except I have date night with R tonight! So sweet to get a random text in the middle of the work day saying...

R - “you running tonight?”

Me – “Yup”

R – “We got a date night after that then ok”

 Love it! Should be a great night. Hope you all have a great weekend!!

TGIT??

Good Morning!! Its weigh-in Thursday! And surprisingly even with my candy intake last night...

 I'm still down 1lb. I'll take it!!



After Weigh-In :)

 

 Last night after work I ran to JcPennys to look for a running jacket that would allow me to move while still keeping me dry and success!! For only $30.00 I found the cutest one. I looked on the website and its not on there so I will have to remember to take pictures tonight! I also want to know that I tryed on jeans and I'm offically a size 8 (and a 10 still in 2 of the 6 pairs I tried on)

 

From 18 to size 8!!

 



After shopping I ran and picked up a little extra candy for the hubs kids just in case! However we only got 7 trick or treaters and two of which I make special good bags for anyways. So R and I just watched a scary movie and called it a night. Hope everyone else had a great and safe Halloween!!

P.s Only 17 days to my first 5K.. Ekk!!

P.s.s Today is the day we find out who our blogger swag swap person is!! Whoo hoo!!

Blogger Girl Swag Swap

 I just wanted to share a really cool idea! This really awesome blogger Kassie who's blog I read had a great idea for a blogger girl swag swap. You should all check it out & sign up by tomorrow! Hey you may even get my gift!!  :)

Tricks & Treats!

First off... Happy Halloween!! This is one of my favorite holidays. I have always been one of those girls that liked to participate in fun events. I was even in ASB in High School for that reason. Halloween was always the time of year when I would get so excited to dress up and I would leave the house feeling amazing in my costume until I got to the party to see all of the little itty bitty girls in these cute costumes and I would be ready to turn around and go home. This was the first year I would have felt good at the party. However it was the first year we really didn’t have plans. Depressing I know! But in all actually I was okay with it this year. But I guarantee you next year I will rock a slutty little outfit Halloween costume!

 Halloween 2009 Throw-Backs (I was a cave-woman)

 

Last weekend we did make it to the pumpkin patch! One of my favorite things ever! The day started with R and I heading up to my BFFs house (an hour away) to pick up her and her man. Then all four of us when on a little adventure to Ft. Casey, Washington. While in Ft.Casey my BFF got engaged!! Whoo hoo!! I was soo excited when her boyfriend Chris had contacted me awhile back about helping plan out the whole thing and we did it. It all played out perfectly! And Im so happy I don't have to keep the secret from her any more!! Nicely done Chris!! And I seriously can't wait for this wedding!!

R & Me on the Ferry to Ft. Casey

 

My BFF said Yes!!!

They're engaged!!

 All four of us on the way back from Ft. Casey

After the engagement and celebratory drinks lunch, we all headed to the pumpkin patch like we do every year. It was so fun and after we went to Chris and Ashley’s to carve our pumpkins!

 

 Fun at the Pumpkin Patch!

 

                              The Newly Engaged!!                         

All 3 years R & I have been together!

 
As many of you know I live in Seattle. Yes, it rains a lot of the time so yesterday it was pouring! I mean the run to your car for one second and you’re drenched kind of rain. All day I had tried to talk myself out of running after work and kept trying to make excuses. However, after I got off work I went home and changed and made myself go!



 I soon realized I didn’t have a good running jacket so I had to use my work jacket. I was definitely not looking attractive and I hoped I wouldn’t see anyone I knew. Yet at the same time at least EVERYONE could see me and I wouldn’t get hit by a car.

 

 So after I finally got pounding the pavement I had such a good run! I did a full mile without stopping and for me that is the longest I have gone so far! I was so proud of myself! After that I continued to keep running for 5 minutes followed by walking for 90 seconds over and over again for the hour. I got home and was absolutely drenched so I hopped in the shower and then got caught up on our weekly DVR’d shows with R. It was such a great night but tonight I’m going to look for a new running jacket after work before going running and eating giving out candy!!. Any good suggestions on a moveable but water resistant jacket?
