Can we please talk about how much I love this outfit?
I bought this shirt at Old Navy and the shorts at New York and Co. I feel pretty adorable. I’m not gonna lie! 🙂

I’m at Corky tonight and tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make an effort, right?

Have a great weekend friends!

Scenes from my morning:

Crap, it’s humid today. 70 degrees at 6am. I was soaked in sweat from head to toe, dripping with it even. So gross. But all of it earned. That felt good. The cumulative exhaustion of running and (biking!) every single day since Sunday (go me!!) made for fatigued legs this morning. 3.1 miles in about 35 minutes. It’s all good. It makes for 23ish miles for the week. I’m pleased.

Those roses are in my front yard. So pretty! I think that’s a baby praying mantis on the 2nd one. I dig it. 

I’m in a pretty good mood. It’s Friday, it’s a beautiful day, and I’ve got endorphins going in me! I read somewhere that you need 30 minutes of sunlight a day to help boost your mood. My morning runs in the summers do exactly that. Happiness is found in my running shoes.

Have a great day and weekend friends! 

On Wednesdays, we wear pink.

One of my new dresses from Old Navy! How cute is this? I’m in love.

A friend told me today that I “really know how to dress my body.” I finally know what works and how to play to my strengths. I’m feeling good and comfortable in my own skin. Isn’t that what it’s all about?

Body confidence FTW!

Scenes from a busy Holiday weekend

There was running. Some short runs and this morning a very sweaty 5k before work. I was disgusting.

There was time with my besties. I’ve been friends with them since I was 5-years-old! That’s 27 years at this point! Those girls are my sisters. We literally grew up around the corner from each other in our small, sleepy town. It was the best way to grow up. I consider their parents my 2nd and 3rd parents as well. 

This weekend was my friend V’s parent’s 40th wedding anniversary open house. There was no question that we would be there for the party and them. The night before, her boyfriend proposed! That’s her gorgeous ring–Sapphires and diamonds. V is non-traditional and the ring is so her.

Monday was girls day in Omaha. It was full of shopping, girl talk and manicures. Those are my REAL nails in that last picture. The manicurist was impressed and said when she was done that they looked fake. Love it! 

It was one of those rare days where everything I tried on looked good and worked on me so I bought 3 dresses, 4 pairs of shorts and 2 shirts–all for less than $200! I’m a happy girl! 

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a fantastic week ahead friends!!

Good morning my lovelies!

Busting out a 5k before breakfast. All the sweat again today. More slower miles as I’m not quite used to the weather. I give you guys a lot of gross, sweaty pics, so I thought I would show you that I CAN clean up alright! What a difference a shower makes, right?!

Also, I’ve had some decent luck lately with watermelons. I’m obsessed. There’s also a Tupperware full of strawberries on the bottom right. 

Every day that I don’t eat a bunch of candy (read: Jr. Mints) I consider it a win. If I eat copious amounts of fruit after dinner then I’m so full from that then I don’t want to eat the sugar. It’s all a mind game I play with myself. I think most weight loss is. You have to trick yourself sometimes. Then, it becomes easy. At least for me!

Have a great day friends!!

I’m literally dripping with sweat after tonight’s run.
I Couldn’t get up any earlier this morning and run because my dentist appointment was at 8 a.m. And I have enough trouble getting to work at 8:45 in the morning on a normal day. So an after work run it was!

Dude. I’m not complaining about the warm weather because its so great to have warm weather again. But, whew! I’m not used to it yet! Slow miles tonight. More walking than usual. But its all good.

Also, how do I have friends or boyfriends? I’m sooooooo sexy post-run! 😉
