Fantastic Day!!

This morning, I ran a trail race at Lake Mingo. It was a tough course, but I finished 10 minutes earlier than last year. I was thrilled about that!  :)

(I have to point out my thigh muscle!  They have been really popping in the last week. It must be the new program. I'm so happy with my progress!!)

ANYWAYS, I hung out with the girls all day. I decided to take today as a rest day instead of Sunday. I'm glad I did. I still need to get my daily ab work in, but I've had a great day. I love those girls!!

I'm just relaxing now. When it gets darker, I'm going to sit on my patio and light the firepit. Here's a pic of my patio from last summer. 

All in all, a GREAT day!!

She's a Maneater...

I had a GREAT workout at the gym. It was a little crowded, but I was able to get everything done with minimal waiting. The only time I had to wait was when I had 3 sets each of assisted pull ups and close grip rows. An old, old Asian man (think Mr. Miyagi) just sat on the row machine. I asked him if I could jump in. That was a MISTAKE. He doesn't speak any English. I thought about using my mime skills, but settled on use a death stare with my hand on my hip. What is it with Asians at the gym?!  It takes everything in my might to try not to pick on them. 

I lost another .4 lbs. LOL. It's something...better than nothing. 

I'm thinking about getting up early in the morning and going on a short 3 mile run. I need to get back to running 5 days a week. I miss it, but find myself SUPER TIRED from my workouts.  I think this weekend will be my last few days of natural peanut butter/almond butter. I need to stop eating it. Shit has got to get SERIOUS!!

Oh, and someone at my work brought in fresh donuts from Dunkin Donuts today. I couldn't stop smelling them. I even wanted to the jelly donut and I'm not a fan of those. Then, I started thinking about a donut burger...never had one, but I want one!

TICKS!

OMG!  I seemed to have brought home a bunch of ticks from my run!  I found one crawling on my leg and worst of all...I found on crawling on my arm this morning while I was laying in bed!  I didn't drive my car to work today because I was so scared that there were even more ticks sitting in my truck just waiting to suck my blood.

After work, I'm going to have to drive to a car wash and vacuum the crap out of my truck...

Nothing Is More Crippling Than Having Pain in Your Teeth!

OMG.  Don't EVER get your teeth whitened from a dentist office.  I did it when I was 16 and I remember telling myself never again!  I think I just wanted to have them done for my competition.  I missed my workout last night because I was in such pain.  I even took a couple sleeping pills and a hydrocodone.  I am not a pill person at all.  It's hard enough to remember to take my birth control!

Today is National Run Day!  I'm going for a run at Lake of the Woods with Sheena!  I'm excited because it's really nice weather.  Let's hope my teeth stop hurting before the run!  I'll be getting my ab day workout in after the run!  Busy night ahead of me!

My competition suit still hasn't been ordered.  I plan to do that this weekend.  I also plan on officially registering for the show.  I haven't turned in my application yet.

More to blog about later! 

Oh, one more thing, I solved my salad dressing dilemma!  I used a 100 calorie pack of Wholly Guacamole and dipped my salad into it (since I didn't want to attempt to spread guacamole onto my greens) lol.  It is amazing!  Why hasn't this started gaining popularity?
