Day 193

So, I'm kinda failing at this blog. Yikes. I've gotten out of the blogging habit and have started to feel like it's a chore. But I'm going to try and get better about posting every day. I made the goal and I have to stick with it.

I'll work on back-dating, but it might take a while. May not be any pictures, but I'll try to run down what happened, haha.

Day 183


I'm in LOVE with one of Wendy's new salads. I mean, serious love, to the point of having it three days in a row. It's that good.

The one I'm talking about is the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad. Oh. My. God. It's good. I just ate it for lunch and talking about it now makes me want it for dinner.

And yes, I know I need to backdate a few posts. It was a busy weekend and I fell off the blogging horse. I'm working on getting it back. :) Please just bear with me. They're coming, I promise!

Day 174

Have I mentioned that I hate summer in the South? I believe I have. Here's a good example why:


Look at that heat index!! That was before this:


Sadly, there was not much change after the run. However, the heat index went down by two degrees. Two!

Day 172



Today's high temperature was 100 degrees and the heat index was 107. By the time we ran, it was a chilly 96 degrees, which made the run difficult. I managed to pull through but it was a struggle at times.

Have I mentioned that I really hate the hot temperatures in the summer? Because, I do. I really do.

Day 169



I finally got brave and trudged ahead for Week 3. I felt like I was going to puke but I did it! I'm so proud of myself because I never thought I'd be able to run 3 minutes straight TWICE! But whoever thought a 90 second walk before the last 3 minute run is evil. Evil.

Day 168



Car wash time!

I lead an exciting life...

Day 167



Since I had a week vacation from running, I decided to do another Week 2 day. It wasn't as bad as the other night, but still not fantastic. I did complete all the runs but I was sooooo out of air by the last run. I'm still not sure if I'll start Week 3 with the next run or not. I know I can probably do it, it's just getting my mind around running 3 minutes non-stop twice.

Day 166

Brian took this picture in his sister's garden in Austin, TX and it's my new desktop background at work. It's so summery and happy!

Day 165

Sorry I've been MIA. I was on vacation, so I took a blog vacation as well. My plan was to go back and post for each today today, but our internet isn't working. Boo.

But back to reality:



After a week off, it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

Where's Brian? :)

Day 158




Bribery at its finest.

Sunday, June 6, 2010

Day 157



Week 2, Day 2

Still rough, but better than the other day. I can't stop getting a side stitch on the 5th run. Anyone know how to avoid that?

Saturday, June 5, 2010

Day 156


Caitlin and I had a girl's night last night and checked out the new piano bar in town. It's so nice to actually have a nice bar in this town! It's smoke-free and a lot of fun. It was really nice to come out of a bar and not stink! (In this town, that's a huge deal, too.)

Day 155


Week 2, Day 1

I was terrified to run 90 seconds straight. (I hope in a few weeks I can look back and laugh at that statement.) I was actually dreading it a little. Determined not to give up, I pushed through and completed all of the runs. It wasn't that bad actually!

Day 154

It's Rodeo Time! My dad and I have been going to the rodeo together since I was in elementary school. Brian's been going with us the past couple of years, but missed out this year. So, dad and I had some good father-daughter-bonding time this year. :)





Also, Happy Birthday Jade!

Day 153

I got my haircut today! I was a little embarrassed to be bringing in a picture of Tori Spelling as my inspiration, but whatever. She has cute hair.

Please excuse the horrible self-portraits through the bathroom mirror at work.

After:

Completed Week 1! Today was a lot easier than Monday and I felt good about the run. It was cloudy and not as humid as Monday, which helped. Ready for Week 2...I think. :)

Day 152


It's hot and I do not appreciate it. I want Spring back.

Monday, May 31, 2010

Day 151



Caitlin and I headed up to Northwest Arkansas to shop and on our way back home, we stopped at Orange Mango and had some delish frozen yogurt. You get to choose your flavor(s), top it with whatever you can dream of, and they weigh it and you pay for it. It's so good!

Then we came back to:



It was so hard! Not quite sure why. We both completed our days but felt somewhat frustrated at ourselves for almost not making it.

Day 150


It's been a lazy Sunday for all of us. Even Jack who nestled inbetween our legs for a nap.

Saturday, May 29, 2010

Day 149


Brian and I had date night and we went to a new Japanese steakhouse in town. We ordered a plate of sushi which I never thought I'd ever see him eat. We had crab and salmon nigiri and a California Roll. The crab was our favorite and the California Roll was probably our least favorite.

Friday, May 28, 2010

Day 148


I had to start over since I took two weeks off while I was sick. I still managed to complete all 9 intervals of running.

Thursday, May 27, 2010

Day 147

Oops...

Not quite sure how I forgot to post something today.

Sorry!!

Day 146

If you read Pioneer Woman's blog at all, you know she does Photography Assignments close to every week. This week's assignment was "Coming Home." Since Jade's hubby, Michael, just got back from Afghanistan, I knew we had a lot of pictures to choose from! Sadly, I wasn't there when he came home, but Brian and our trusty camera were present! So I submitted Brian's picture (that I edited) and she chose it as one of her selected photos!




Check out the original Brian shot:

Day 145




Early this morning, Brian's mom's ceiling collapsed into their newly redecorated living room. Turns out when they had their roof done two years ago, a worker stepped on a pipe for their air conditioner unit, causing it to crack. So for two years, water has been leaking and as a lovely anniversary gift to Brian's mom and stepdad, the ceiling came crashing down. Last night, we went over to the house to inspect the damage.

Day 144

After the end of Lost last night (sniff, sniff) and this sore throat that WILL NOT go away, coffee ice cream was a necessity today.

Sunday, May 23, 2010

Day 143


My herb garden is growing strong. I can't wait until I'm well enough to actually cook with them!

Saturday, May 22, 2010

Day 142




I love getting flowers. :) Just love it.

Friday, May 21, 2010

Day 141


This little beauty has been my lifesaver.

Thursday, May 20, 2010

Day 140



Sickness update:
No real news, still sick. However, this tea is a lifesaver. This is coming from someone who HATES tea. But if you're sick, I recommend this with a slice of lemon and honey.

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

Day 139

Still home and sick. I did spend two hours back at doctor and my white blood count is lowering, but it's still high. However, my left tonsil now has a white "patch" on it. He gave me another round of antibotics to try, and if it doesn't work we'll be looking at going to an ENT about possibly getting my tonsils removed. Joy.

So, as entertainment, I took pictures of Jack "hunting" squirrels. (The squirrel is under the swing on the left side.)

Notice the right paw up and ready to strike.



One more step closer...



And he's off!

Day 138

Again, I'm failing on the picture taking.

Still at home.

Still sick.

But in good news, Jade's hubby came back from Afghanistan!

Monday, May 17, 2010

Day 137

No picture again.



Cabin fever is reaallllllllly starting to sink in!

Sunday, May 16, 2010

Day 136

No picture today :(

I woke up this morning with a 99.9 degree fever, by 10am it was at 100.0. My mom took me to the walk-in clinic, and at 11am, my fever was 101.1.

They're not quite sure what's wrong with me other than I have a virus of some sort. They told me to take it easy and rest as much as I can. I go back to the doctor Wednesday to find out test results and to follow up.

Day 135


Brian is somewhat addicted to the Claw Machine arcade games. He's a winner everytime!

Friday, May 14, 2010

Day 134

I'm slightly obsessed with Lisa Leonard jewelry. Ok, probably more than slightly. Brian ordered me a couple of necklaces for my birthday and I'm so ready for them to come in! He ordered me:


The Dewdrops Necklace

and


The Open Circle Necklace

Today on Lisa's blog, she is having an amazing giveaway! Check it out and enter!
