I had a work event until 7:30pm and only worked out twice this week, so at 8pm on a Friday I was at the gym pounding out 3.1 miles on the treadmill and then came home to do Level 1 Day 2 of Shred.
I feel great. I feel like ME again.

Another Garmin Update
So I reordered Garmin from Amazon last week, it was delivered today, except I wasn’t there to sign for it. So I have to go to the post office tomorrow and get it. I just want this bad boy strapped to my wrist already. I’m hoping and praying my new one doesn’t have any defects.
I also have my eye on a half marathon in November, but more on that next week…
GPOYFF – Flirty Friday Edition
I love orange and I love this dress that my sister gave me for my birthday. Out of the 17 dresses I own 5 are orange or predominately orange.
Note: Check out that form in the behind the back picture. That’s talent!
Cherry Poppin’
Today was a day of FIRSTS!
First real outdoor run in months (a hot and sweaty 2 miles).
First day of the first level of shred (which i just took out of the plastic despite buying it in December).
I feel great!
WIW – BOOM
Last week: 194.4
This week: 190.4
Change: -4
Good to see this summer pounds falling off. I just got back to eating right and working out for an hour 4x a week.
Here’s hoping I keep up a good momentum!
Track Time
Its 82 degrees out – so I’m going to the track for the first time in months! I’m a happy lady!
Garmin Update
Amazon has received my return and is processing my refund which should go back on my debit card in the next few days. The question is do I buy ANOTHER Garmin from Amazon. They had the best price. Yes the item was defective, but it was a fluke right? I’ve never has issues with Amazon before now. Or do I go with a different outlet to buy the watch. Buying it from Garmin itself is like $40 more expensive, then there is like buy.com and some other tech places.
I’m asking, what would you do?
McMillan Running Calculator
Thanks to my always fabulous and inspirational IRL friend and blogger Kathryn I found the McMillan Running Calculator. I’ve only just played around on it for a few minutes, but it gives you FREE DETAILED RUNNING PLANS based on a goal race time. I still have my eye on the LA Marathon in March and perhaps two halfs in November and January.
So Fresh and So Clean, Clean
It’s only been 3 days, but my return to eating clean has been great. No garbage, just healthy, nutritious food! I FEEL so much better – which is key.
I’m also so happy to be back to the gym and I can’t wait for it to cool down enough to run outside. The town I live in has added MILES of sidewalks in town (mainly due to one of the college’s dean’s who got hit by a car while running back in November) which will give me more options and routes to take!
I’m hoping to hit up a farmer’s market today after work!
Of Course Today’s Free Cookie Day
I went to Pita Pit with a friend for lunch and opted for a healthy and hearty salad with chicken and got a water. However, apparently Wednesday is “Free Cookie Day.” Damn you temptation, how easy it would have been to eat you. Instead I gave my cookie to my lunch date to give to her husband/coworker.
Bye, bye excess sweets.
Ta, ta soda.
I don’t miss them when their 100% gone, but it’s having some here and there that make me long for more.
