Last night, sitting in a bar with my good friend as we watched the Olympics and enjoyed a beer was a perfect way to begin a Tuesday. As Monday ticked and tocked over to Tuesday, I couldn’t express enough how GOOD it is to have Miles home, even if it’s just for a short time. It was even worth being exhausted alllll day today. ALL DAY. BUT lots of good things came out of today too,...

Run run run.
All I want to do is get this run over with so I can go home, shower, make slutty brownies & watch The Olympics & The Glee Project.
But my friend is running (ha!) late.
Also. I really need DVR in my life. How else am I going to watch swimming AND TGP at the same time?
Annnnnnnnnnnnd!
Even though it’s 1:30 AM and I just got home from sitting at a bar with Miles, watching the Olympics, for most of the evening (one beer! only one lite beer!)… I still managed to pack my lunch for tomorrow and my gym bag!
There are few things in this world I love more than being in a completely empty bar, watching swimming on the Olympics, with my good friend beside me as he tells...
Ready for the week.
The laundry is done. The gym bag is packed. The lunch for tomorrow is packed. Don’t have everything done that I should have gotten done this weekend, but it’s a start. Tomorrow I have work all day, a quick gym session in the evening, a shower, and a late-night-hangout with Miles. In other news, I need some good, healthy brunch recipes! Any ideas? Also. I want to make this. Mmmm.
The Good, The Bad & the Ugly of Today.
The Good Spending time with my Little today. She is seriously growing up so fast - and is so endlessly awesome. The fact that she always wants to buy books for her presents (her birthday was a couple weeks ago) just makes me love her more! Bought looooots of healthy things at the grocery store today. Two weeks til Cali — gonna make lunches and dinners as much as I can! $23 in fish purchased...

Let's talk about...
How awesome it is when favorite people come home from China. Where they have been living for four years. And usually they come home once a year - but then they went ahead and skipped a year, so it’s been two years since you’ve seen them. And let’s just say - it is SO, SO nice to be able to wrap your arms around them, and welcome them home. Even if it is only for a couple weeks....
Severe Storms = TREADMILL
Runs were cancelled all over the place today!
First my friend cancelled bc her foot is all screwed up.
Then I cancelled on Mattie A, because of severe storms.
And storms there were! Wow.
Instead, Amanda & I hit the gym.
2.4 miles = 32 minutes
2 walk, 8 run.
2 walk, 8 run.
2 walk, 8 run.
2 minute cool down.
Then weights. Arms & abs.
45 minutes.
Tired. Realllly tired.

Tuesday Morning
Self: (Ugh I hate this outfit. I look really fat. Why did I wear this? I never feel good in this shirt. Now I’ve committed to it all day. When I sit it’s the worst. My belly looks SO BIG. My butt even bigger. I want to change. I can’t change. I need to stay on track. I’ve been having too much “food fun.” I need to be serious. GET SERIOUS. San Diego is less than three weeks away…)

“there are dreamers and there are realists in this world. you’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists, but more often than not, the opposite is true. you see, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. and the realists? well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground”

Why Weight is Weird
Pre-DC Trip: 203.9
Today (1 Wk Later): 200.2

The run felt good yesterday, Hip Hop the day before. Need to keep making it a priority. Tired of struggling.
Doing the hair, packing the car, then off to work & then Columbus I go!

Back to pounding the pavement.
So after a week & a half off from running (being sick-ish last week, plus being so busy with the Baltimore/DC weekend) - I finally went for a run tonight. It was a quick run. A “lets just get this done so I can go home and do a billion things” run. My friend Mattie A met me and we just started right away. Because it stormed all day (all. freaking. day.) I didn’t take my phone...
Top Three Things.
Tonight, on the long drive back from Hip Hop with LDH (who took the class for the first time! So exciting!!), Lauren asked me what my Top 3 MUSTS for a future partner were. 1) Absolutely - no ifs &s or buts about it - canNOT be homophobic. (Or racist or have any super-blind-and-hateful feelings towards one group of people or another.) I’ve dated people who have had such harsh judgements...
