Month: October 2014

My bridesmaid dress for this weekend.

I blindly guessed at my size since I was in between like 3 sizes based on my measurements and hoped for the best since I wasn’t able to try the actual dress on.

I got the dress the first weekend in Sept and was nervous about trying it on. A few weeks later I put it on, but it was a little snug at the waist, but almost a touch big everywhere else. Thankfully my boobs aren’t spilling out like my bridesmaid dress 2 years ago.

I’ve been working hard the past month despite not seeing the scale move (until this morning – 2 lbs down). I put the dress on last night and it fits better.

To ensure that I feel comfortable I’m doing a Dr. Oz 3 day juice/smoothie cleanse again and I plan on getting a new pair of industrial strength spanx!

T is coming up with me as my date for the wedding and I just want to look and feel my best.

Marathon Relay

Tomorrow I’m running the Baltimore Running Festival Marathon as part of a relay team. Relay teams are 4 members, each covering either 7 miles or 6.1 miles. My teammates are novice runners who have been training for weeks for their distance. I’m excited for them to participate in such a big race. 

I’m runner #2 tomorrow, covering 7 miles. With all of the excitement of the marathon it may be hard to get me off the course after my 7 miles! 

Mental Health Morning

I could. not. even. handle the idea of going to work this morning. 

I was at work late last night dealing with a staff disciplinary situation and was just in a sour mood when I got home after an annoying and stressful day. So I emailed that I was taking the morning because of a migraine (not completely true, but my head was spinning/pounding). 

So this morning I got to sleep in, run 3 miles with Freddie, do a body pump workout, and make lunch. 

I’d much prefer a 12:30-5:30 schedule everyday. I wonder if I could swing it! 

Weekend Recap

Friday

  • Pre-work 5K run with Freddie
  • Short, but productive day at work
  • Got my hair did
  • Chilled out and caught up on some DVR (A to Z is sooo cute)

Saturday

  • Got up early to take T paintballing as part of his birthday present (his birthday was Wednesday and everything was an absolute success)
  • T was on my team and he was really good at it, which wasn’t a surprise since he played growing up and was a Marine. Meanwhile I got shot 6-7 times and have the welts to prove it
  • Went up to Baltimore Saturday night for my friend Sara’s birthday dinner (where this super cute pic of T and I was taken) 

Sunday

  • Morning snuggles
  • Church and errands
  • Ran an awesome self imposed 10K from Gravelly Point Park along the Potomac over the bridge into DC, past the Lincoln Memorial, around the reflecting pool and back. It was perfection
  • Body Pump ab work out
  • Had my friend Michelle over for dinner
  • Did my nails and caught up some more on DVR

Sadly today I have to work, but it is pretty quiet and I am getting things done so that’s….something.
