For all you LOST fans out there- tonight's the night. You may wanna get ready for Monday before 6 p.m. CST, because it's gonna be a looooong night, what with the long finale and Jimmy Kimmel's LOST show tonight. Do you think I'm gonna miss the alternate endings? negative.

LOST wasn't and isn't my all-time favorite show on TV (Hello! Dawson's Creek?! HAHA- I'm not kidding, really.) but throughout the seasons it's kept me intrigued and guessing and this is why I love it. Unpredictability. Sawyer has to be my favorite character. I love his sarcasm and smart-ass one-liners. How can you not love his most-used, "Son of a bitch!".....

I need some coffee...Maybe two servings of it. Sudafed has knocked me on my ass- I slept wayyy too hard last night and woke up with puffy eyes and a feeling of drunkenness. I didn't even get to drink any wine.

I wish I could stay home all day and do nothing instead of get dressed and go to my friend's engagaement party...I'm in her wedding. I guess I'm obligated to go. LOL. And I want to go, just not right now (current time 9:40 a.m. CST).

Happily, I signed up for TWO 5k's in the next few weekends! May 1st and May 8th. Nothing better than some practice competitions- and I'm excited to see how I do. I purchased a Garmin Forerunner 305 for my runs, to keep track of my pace and time- it was recommended to me by Meghhan, who is SUCH a running inspiration for me.


I'll give you my running stats for the past few days. WARNING: They SUCK! :-)

Tuesday: Two miles in 26:31 Wednesday: Two miles in 26:00 Thursday: Two miles in 25:39

Do we see a pattern? Ok, sure, my time went down, AND I can gladly say I jogged/ran straight through the first mile and MOST of the second (we're talking no faster than 5.5 at ANY given point here), but I need 3! 3 is the magic number here, guys.

I'm finding it hard to decide if I need to practice for speed or completing an entire 3 miles at a steady pace. Yeah- that last option sounds smarter saying outloud.

So- question for allll of you avid runners out there- Should I focus on completing an entire 3 miles before I focus on speed and ONLY speed? I understand I should do both, but I'm asking, at this moment as a beginner...

Thanks for all of the advice you ladies have given me this week for starting a running lifestyle- The biggest decision I've made is, in a month or so, to drive 3 hours to my nearest Fleet Feet and get fitted for the PERFECT running shoe for me :-) "If you're gonna do it, do it right," I always say! Or maybe someone else said that and I stole it.

I'm off to Dunkin Doughtnuts for coffee. Perhaps I'll be awake next time you hear from me.

Cheerio.

I've been a horrible blogger- but I've been so, so SO tired since last Thursday. I think it's some medicine I'm on. I'm just dead tired at the end of the day and my usual morning workouts were ceased until just this morning. I have lost another inch from my waist and 3 pounds. Since last Thursday! VERY strange, but makes me extremely motivated. I can see my bicep muscle coming out again. Oh, how I love that muscle.

In wedding news: I ordered THIS invitation for my best friend's Bridal Shower, TWICE, from two different internet stores, and it's out of stock from the actual company who produces them. oh, how I loved these. I loved the bright colors and kitchy feel.

My questions is: why won't they take them off the website if they're out of stock? Ugh!
Anyway- we're going with these instead (IF they're IN STOCK!). She still wanted the Couples theme on the invitation, and we can still use the same general colors for the shower decor.
My butt has been bitten so hard by the wedding bug the past few weeks- what with a wedding to go to NEXT weekend and all my Maid of Honor duties for Amanda- I've been dreaming of my own wedding. Can someone please find me a hilarious, smart, charming, witty man to marry? Other than that- I'm ready.

I am in LOVE with these two dresses from Demetrios. They're pretty much what I dream of wearing on my big day. Especially the first: a little lace,a little shine, strapless sweetheart neckline. *sigh*. I'm sure this dress won't be around when my time comes....


Also by the same designer, LOOK at THIS dress: In all actuality- THIS is my dream dress, but I couldn't find it online anywhere ;-)

Hope everyone of you have a fabulous Wednesday- it's rainy here. Makes my mood very BLAH. I need some cheer!

Good morning beautiful ladies :-)

Exciting news for me: I woke up at 4:40 refreshed and ready for the gym before work. Can you believe it? Went to sleep by about 10:30 and I had no issues getting up...not really. I did lay there for about 5 minutes pondering back and forth- "Should I go?", "Sleep is so good...", "Will I be ready for work in time?"- Well finally my ass popped up and I was out the door....
Helloooooooo FOG.

Good grief. Where did THIS come from?

Y'all, I swear to you, I don't know how far down the road I got, but I couldn't even see stop lights until I was right up on them- Finally I turned around and (tried) made my way back home :-( I got lost! BAHAHAH! I just kept driving right past my turn because I couldn't see it- and when I got to an intersection I knew was by my house, I turned around and went about 8 mph. I made it home, thank God. But no gym. I'll just go this afternoon and pray tomorrow morning is fogless. What the F.

VERY important question for anyone who's ever been in a wedding and worn a bridesmaids dress especially one made by Bill Levkoff): I never usually go my measurement charts when ordering a dress, because they're always wrong. They tell me I need like, I dunno, a damn 18?? That's BS. An 18 would drip off me! Do regular store bought dresses, i.e. Anthropologie or others, run differently than formally type dresses? I'm having anxiety that the size bridemaids dress I ordered won't fit. What should I do? That's 4.5 months away and by then I know I will lose some weight- but......HELP.

I'm honestly thinking of going up a size when I pay it in full- Are formal dresses hard to take in if they're, say a size or TWO too BIG? Anyone know? I need some reassurance here.

WORKOUT: Yesterday had a great 48 minutes of cardio at the gym. I went earlier than usual and LORD what a difference! It wasn't crowded and I had a great time doing what I wanted. If only I could do that everyday. I really want my own home gym. I'd work some cardio all. the. time. Going today at the same time as yesterday, too. :-)

Eats: Still good! Oh, and my waist is down another inch. THIS is awesome news.

My boobs, however, in all their 38D glory, are still big. GAWD. (muahaha. SHRINK DAMNIT!!)
