keeping things short and sweet today. just like me! i keeed. i keeed.
hookin' up with amanda's fabulous thinking out loud link up for a third time.
1. today begins the official 30 day countdown to this girl gettin' hitched. eeeeek!! picking up the dudes ring this weekend and confirming the "cake" order. next thursdays is my second dress fitting! fingers crossed the seamstress is successful in cutting all 7 feet of extra length off to fit my oh, so short self.

2. i am 100% fine with the fact that this week is over. well, work wise for me at least. boy was it a rough one . . . i was in pain and sick with stomach troubles for most of the week. on top of that, the weather has been so weird and inconsistent. one day it's 88 and sunny, and the next it's 71 and overcast. the shift between winter and summer sunlight is really getting to me. felt the ol' blanket of darkness begin to creep its way over me. don't know why it took me so long to notice the progression of being tired, exhausted, drained, sick, and in pain lately. you would think i'd be able to recognize the symptoms by now . . . sheesh . . .
3. but why focus on the negative. what do we do when life forgets how to play nicely? run like hell . . . sound like an odd answer? well, i was at the gym, so it's quite fitting ;)
this very choosy tum tum of mine was at about 75% in the wellness department today. pretty significant improvement from the past several days. so, i finally got the gym day i have been craving. 47 minutes running hills on the treadmill. i was in complete heaven. and hell. it has been a while since i've hopped on a treadmill. even longer since i've done hills. my lower calves are going to love me tomorrow! not.
i legitimately almost made myself throw up. i had about 10 minutes left before cool down, my heart was racing away, and sweat was pouring from just about every pore. then it came. this sudden, extremely strong urge to toss my cookies (or should i say chips, since that's actually the last thing i'd eaten). this little voice inside said, "keep it together girl. you got this." and i did. i told myself, "5 more minutes," and then after five minutes i said, "you can't quite now, you only have to make it another 5 minutes before cool down." and i continued to follow my inner coaching voice through the remainder of my run, and then through cool down. proud. the only word i could describe the feeling of watching the clock run down to 0:00 remaining time.
now i am not saying go out and puke your guts out in the name of seeing a workout through. if you can push your self through safely, then by all means. you go glen coco!! and if not, that's cool too. you good girl! or boy. to each his or her own workout tactics.

4. i tan waaaaaaaaaaaaayy too easily. it is not a complaint so much as an observation. i sat out on the cafe patio at work for about an hour this morning. which was more than enough time for the bitty skin cells of my right arm to put up their defense against the sun and adopt a darker brown hue. first world problem. i know. smh at myself. i am just not at all a fan of tan lines, which i now have more of . . .
