a-yogi-who-wods is crushing my spirits

  • Christian and I are involved in our own FitBit Challenge this week. My lack of running is killing my step count. And he is crushing his. That’s irritating. Motivation for me, I guess.
  • I bought that lamp and table for $30 last night from a friend who is downsizing her home and moving into a townhome. She has pretty great taste and she cut me a sweet deal. I’m a fan.
  • The sunshine came back today! However, my Meteorologist roomie posted the above photo. Lincoln averages about 29 inches of rain a year. We’ve gotten 18 inches of rain in the last 6 weeks. So that’s awesome.
  • I’m wearing this dress today. While my co-worker and I went for a walk after lunch, a woman stopped me on the sidewalk and said to me, “that yellow dress is fabulous!” Made my day! I feel like a ray of sunshine!
  • Is Melissa that hard to understand or read in a email? I’ve been called Melinda, Martha, Natalie, Gretchen (what is THAT is about?!) and Melanie. Seriously people, look or listen a little closer! It’s not that hard.
  • I’m going running after work. I’m pretty excited about it. The weather is perfect to pound out some miles on the pavement.

Have a great Tuesday friends!

Monday, Monday.

  • Short Week, FTW! I only work Monday and Tuesday!! First Thanksgiving off in A DECADE. I’m deliriously happy. I get to help with Thanksgiving dinner, run my first (real) Turkey Trot with my brother, sister-in-law, and 2 of my nephews, and enjoy some down time.
  • I got up and ran before work this morning! First time since I was at my conference 2 weeks ago. I was on the treadmill by 5:10am. Whoo-Hoo!
  • I’ve jumped on the Serial bandwagon. I am only 3 podcasts in, but crap you guys! That’s good stuff. I ran while listening to it this morning. I really enjoy doing that as opposed to always listening to music during my runs.
  • As of 8am, I’m less than 2500 steps away from my goal for the day. That’s a great feeling.
  • I had to screenshot where I’m at on the leaderboard for steps! I know things will change once everyone syncs their fitbits, but for one brief, shiny moment in time. I’m pretty high up there. Hooray! 
  • Today’s OOTD: Leggings, a dress that I’m waaayy too tall for so it has now become the kind of dress that I will wear with leggings, and my gray boots. A solid choice. I’m digging the whole Jail escapee thing I’ve got going on today. 😉

Happy Monday friends!
