I am recovering from the weekend lol. I had my bachelorette spa day which turned into a night out. I was still home by 9 and in bed by 10 but I’m still exhausted and was dehydrated afterwards bahahahahaha! That tells you how little I party these days.
I will show you some pics of Wednesday and tell you all about it but I will leave you with this tidbit…..I fit into a small tanktop!!!! and actually felt good in it!!! What??!!
14 lbs down!!!!
When I lose another 15lbs I get to buy more stitchfix!!!!!

1 run and 3 beachbody workouts this week. Not terrible for the first week of school. My goal next week is 1 more workout.
Coming up this week I’ve got school, work, my bridal shower and a half marathon! Its gonna be a busy week!!
What do you have planned?
4 weeks until the wedding!! odds and ends
Hi!!! School started this week but i will post more on that on Friday. Here is a little look on how the week has been going so far:
Someone gave me a donut filled with coffee creme and a rum shot hahahaha
Coffee is a must and energy drinks are making an appearance again, the first few weeks of a new quarter are always rough for me to get a new school, work, and study schedule worked out.
I am in love with those prepackaged salads right now!! This one is called sunflower crunch!
Brandon was out of town for work, thankfully he is back now, while he was gone she cuddled with me a lot.
working on a few wedding hairstyle ideas.
Fall is here!!!!…………Some days………. last week was low 70s and mid 60s this week is mid 80s!!
More snuggles
Morning Shakology!!!! i mix it with my coffee for the perfect breakfast….though it takes me some time to wake up!
Go a quickie run in Monday night after class
Followed by this awesome dinner!! Brandon and I shared the Cornish game hen. They are adorable but not that much meat on them, probably why it was only $3 and grocery outlet, still tasted delicious though!
AHHHHHHH! we hit the 1 month mark!!!
My sad sad attempt at taking a picture through the microscope of skeletal muscle.
Tune in Friday for more talk about school!!! WARNING: I SEE DEAD PEOPLE!

Had planned to run 9-10 miles this weekend then my stomach had other plans and so I cut it off at 4.5.
Then I picked up my wedding dress!!!!! I am going to do a whole post on wedding stuff soon.
My friend and I have a step challenge going
And she is currently kicking my butt. I need to get moving!!!

It was a very fun but exhausting weekend.
Portland to coast relay!! I filled in for someone on the team and spent 24 hours in a car with my future inlaws…..and I’m even more excited about being part of the family!
A productive weekend
I needed some energy gels for our long runs so we hit up REI and they were having a sale.
Sports bra for $30! Score!!!!
Stocked up on gels, jelly beans, and chews to get me through to the half marathon.
Making pulled pork!!!!!
Also another batch of tomato sauce in the slow cooker. We are running out of room in the freezer. I will have to can the next batch hahahaha.
Making some oven dried tomoatoes
The finished pulled pork. It was soooo good!!!!
Also made tomato and rice soup! Though it is so thick its probably more of a stew.
The finished tomato sauce before i blended it.
The Iron Nun!!!! She is sooo cool!!! No lie i kind of have a girl crush on her.
Finally started watching 13 reasons why and I am in love with it!! Only on episode 6 and i cannot wait to find out who the other 7 people are!!! And where does Clay come into it? With school slowly coming to an end i should hopefully be able to finish it in a reasonable amount of time.
That being said I have 1 essay, 1 discussion paper, 2 quizzes and 1 final left and i will be done for 5 weeks!!!! So stinking excited!!!!!

of course i say this after just eating 2 slices of cold pizza for breakfast. Hey it was more free food from a resident.
2 runs this week….though this is counting from Tuesday. if you count a week from last Monday than it would be 3 runs but Garmin is stupid in that way. But great in so many others so I cant really complain.
No run tonight as it is out 2 year anniversary and we are going out to dinner. No idea where yet though. I will tell you all about it tomorrow!!!

The Kind Diet another cookbook I LOVE! Yes it is also vegan and but there are some delicious recipes in here! There are a handful I make over and over and over that I just love!!!
Leftover chili with bread for lunch today. So delicious!
One of the residents where I work had their freezer break and thaw out so they needed to use up the meat that was in there ASAP, lucky for me they aren’t eating red meat right now so tonight Brandon and I will be BBqing a new York stead with grilled zucchini and mashed potatoes! And we will have lamb burgers tomorrow…..I’ve never had a lamb burger so we will see but I want gonna say no to free food!!!
It turned out soooooo good!!!!
I got the hw that is due tonight all done and worked ahead on tomorrow’s HW. I’m one day ahead now, I wish I was more ahead though. I will need to work on that for next quarter.
Stats for this week:
Cant wait to see what next week holds!!!
Not included in those stats:
My first tempo run tonight!!!!
It was only 1 mile but I didn’t walk at all and was under the pace I wanted so yay!!!
I am going to train properly for this half marathon……did I mention Brandon and I signed up for a half marathon the first weekend in October?
