We Met At A Party

Turned my 3 mile run into a 5 mile run on Sunday…my shins did not agree with my decision.  I think I really need to go in and find some different shoes, or have someone watch me run and see what I’m doing wrong with my body. 

I keep getting in a good groove and then my shins get pissed at me for it. :/

School is almost over for the term…must focus on eating better.  It’s been so rough this term as if I’m not at work or at school, I’m at a coffee shop studying.  I always feel like I need to order a coffee and some sort of baked good in exchange for sitting in their space for a few hours.  I’ve been eating for ease rather then eating for health. 

Eat healthy…go.

I thought I was going to 9:00am Relaxation Yoga this morning, instead I went to the wrong room and went to a pilates fusion class.  My sore muscles that were looking for some relaxation and now that much more sore.  At least I can say I got in a good workout!

Goodbye brown hair…

My mind can not stop racing

I’m at a coffee shop trying to finish up a midterm that is due in about 3 hours, but my mind is racing elsewhere.

I had a coffee meeting with a friend of a friend before the holidays who basically has my current dream job.  She was an amazing connection to make and gave me a lot of very amazing insights into Oregon politics and government in general.  She e-mailed me yesterday to let me know that she is moving on to pursue HER dream job and that they will be looking to replace her.  She told me that she thought I would be a very highly qualified candidate and that she would set up a meeting for me with her boss.  I e-mailed her back immediately and am not (no-so) patiently waiting to hear back from her.

This job would be the most amazing stepping stone into working in Oregon politics that I can not even begin to tell you how perfect it would be.  I would be SO GOOD at this job and I would learn more then I would ever learn in the Grad programs that I am applying to.

It would also mean a total wardrobe overhaul…it would be amazing.  :)

Baked my first layer cake. It was pretty divine… I feel like what started as a blog to motivate me to work out has turned into a blog about baked goods…sorry.

Try the stomach flu diet, it works wonders to achieve that perfect flat stomach!

Uggghhhh…the last two days have been the worst two days of my life.  My (almost) 3 year old niece had the stomach flu a week ago and it turns out children are very contagious for up to a week after.

I’m slowly starting to feel better, but man, it had been a long time since I’ve slept on a bathroom floor.

Stomach flu…someone please kill me. :(

Late night puppy love…

Ran after yoga tonight, just barely over 3 miles in juuuuuust under 30 minutes. Felt so good…my body is like jello after yoga. We had a sub and man, he really made us hold our poses tonight. I’ll be hurting tomorrow. Felt nice to have a good active day.
