Halloween, Hill Workout and Wedding Plans!

This year I celebrated Halloween at school!

My friends and I were the 3 Blind Mice. Can you tell we are all a bunch of Elementary Ed Majors!!??

I love being in classes with people who share similar passions to me.

We were the only people walking around campus in costume.. and we LOVED it!

Stabbed Eyeball Cake Pops I made for the party at school!

I got in this AWESOME Hill workout this week. Jeff and I have been really into riding our bikes 3 miles to a park by our house and working out outside while the weather is SO nice!!

 Gecko Push-ups... I love them, but I hate them. I especially Hated doing them up hill. 

If you don't know how to do them, there is a video HERE explaining how!

DEAD at the end of the workout. 

ALSO Jeff and I have officially BOOKED our Venue!! Its at a pretty little place called the Shendoah Mill. I stole these pretty pictures off their website, because my phone really didn't do it justice:

This is where we will hold our ring ceremony and quaint little reception! We are so excited. We always wanted a cute little, simple reception and we think we found the PERFECT place for us! We are in LOVE! Now to figure out where we are holding our open house the next weekend......

Awesome KB Workout, IR4 & FOOD!

Wow!

I had an awesome week last week!

I have been eating ALLOT better Mon-Fri!

I really need to work on getting those weekends under control...but my birthday is this weekend. 

SO AFTER MY BDAY! :)

I did this AWESOME wod tonight and loved it! I have decided now that I am not attending a CrossFit gym I really need to push myself harder and challenge myself. 

Since I HATE running, I have dedicated myself to do ALLOT more running and be able to run SIX miles by November!!

NEXT up, IR4!!!

I found this AWESOME webpage IR4 through the mom of the little girl I do respite care for!

This website & facebook group pairs athletes up with special needs children and you run or train for them!

From the Website:

"We all have friends who say “run some for me” because they don’t WANT to run… what about those who physically CAN’T run?  After an inspiration from a close friend who was battling bilateral hip dyspasia – Founder Tim Boyle found a whole new inspiration to run.

The mental and emotional encouragement for both runner and honorary runner is proving to be a whole new level of motivation and awareness.  Runners are able to find a whole new sense of purpose in their running while sharing who they are running for and bringing awareness to diseases and disabilities of all types". 

I've signed up to be partnered with a special person I can dedicate my training to!

What a wonderful and amazing opportunity we have to train and run for someone who cannot. I am SO excited to get my partner!

Last but not least, here are some pictures of the delicious food I have been feasting on lately:

(lite cool whip & strawberries)

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Pranks, Food and TGIF!

FINALLY! End of week one!!!!!

Sorry for the absence of blogging!

I usually either blog at night, OR most of the time, before I go to work in the early afternoon. 

This week I went straight from School, to Work, to the Gym, then to eat Dinner..

Then it would be like 9:30 and I would watch tv and pass out :)

ANYWAYS!

I got PRANKED this week.. BAD!

Have you ever tried to order Paleo Bread or Gluten Free bread before?

For some reason I haven't been able to find it at the local whole foods (I'm blind?)

So in a moment of poor judgement, I ordered it online instead!

WELL, the other day when I came home late at night and exhausted, my family told me my bread had come!

This is what I got:

I was so tired (and upset, we'll discuss later) that I didn't question that this wasn't my bread, and thought I had been SCAMMED!

My family of course thought it was hilarious, and made me try it (it was disgusting)....

Obviously I threw a giant fit and was planning on writing a letter of complaint the next day when my family informed me that it was a prank... and if I wasn't so tired I wouldn't have fallen for it!

HAHAH

So at least my bread is still coming...

Some Delicious & Healthy Meals from this Week:

 Chicken & Potato/Parsnips 

Chicken, Brocolli & Healthy Potato Skins 

 Pork Chops topped with Grilled Veggies & Green Beans

 Two Fried Eggs on Green Beans

 Milk, Pineapple & Strawberry Smoothie

I was happy that even though I had a CRAZY busy week, I was able to eat pretty healthy!

Wod's From the Week:
