Morning! Sorry if you missed me last night. At 9:30 pm I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open, so I just went to bed! Let me tell you about my night. Around 3:30 pm while getting through some work, I snacked on the last of the cantaloupe I bought this week. I just realized I managed to eat a whole cantaloupe in three days!!! What can I say, this girl loves fruit!
At 4pm I headed down to the gym at work for a run. I planned on doing 5 miles, but that didn’t end up happening. Around mile 2 my stomach started cramping and I knew I had to um…go use the restroom (TMI? I think these “Ask Me Anything” questions are making me feel a little too open!). I tried to ignore it, but by mile 2.5 I knew that 5 miles were not happening, I made a deal that I would run 3. Once I hit mile 3, I jumped off the treadmill and went to the bathroom. I felt better. While walking back into the gym I noticed how tight my legs left. I used the extra time I had already planned to run for a nice long stretch. It felt great to get the stretch in! The running and Body Pump this week has taken a toll on my hamstrings and they were begging for a good stretch.
After the run and stretch, I took a quick shower then jumped on the bus and headed home. Once I got home, I started working on some stuff for my part-time job. I was really hungry, fruit goes not hold me over when I am running. I snacked on a pretzel rod and a clementine.
After the work was done, I started dinner. Adam was home for dinner tonight! That makes twice this week that we ate dinner together 
I like that a lot! I made some whole wheat tortillini with marinara sauce and side salads. I beefed my pasta up with some extra veggies, steamed zucchini and artichoke hearts. I also had a small glass of red wine.
The spend the rest of then evening watching TV with my two favorite boys before heading to bed at 9:30 pm. Right before bed, I had some chamomile tea and….it totally helped me sleep well again last night. Although I did have an awful dream that all my teeth fell out!
I actually looked up what dreams about teeth falling out means and I got a few interpretations:
- Being self-conscious about your physical appearance
- Worrying about being embarrassed in a certain situation
- Feelings of powerlessness
- Fear of failure
- Financial worries
Not sure I really buy any of them. Do you ever look up what your dreams “mean”? Do you believe in “Dream Meanings” or think it is all junk?
I actually took today off to get some things done. Breakfast was banana oats:
- 1/2 of a banana
- 1/2 a cup of oats
- 1/2 a cup of water
- 1/2 a cup of almond milk
Toppings:
- Blueberries
- Organic unsweetened coconut
- Barney Butter
Ask Me Anything Questions:
Q: Transitioning from a private person to a public person can be a tough and crazy experience. Do you (or Adam) ever get worried with posting private photos and/or information online?
A: Good Question! I get this question a lot from friends and family. I keep a lot of my life private still even though it seems like it is all out there for the world to see. I am very careful with the personal information I post online and try to make sure that I keep certain things to myself. So, sometimes I get a little nervous about it, but I always make sure that I don’t post anything that I wouldn’t be okay with ANYONE seeing.

Well, I am off to get some things done. Have a great Thursday!

No TMI on the running problem – that happens to me ALL THE TIME! It drives me nuts! Sometimes you just need a break from exercise too, cutting your run short was probably a good idea!
Is that ice in your red wine?
oh giiiiiiiirlllllll…
HAHAHA! Yes! I know…I like it cold…I know, I know!
Agreed- not TMI, that happens
This is going to sound bizarre… a lot of times I become conscious in my mind before my body wakes up from REM- which we are temporarily paralyzed during. The first time it happened, I thought I was paralyzed because I was awake but well, couldn’t move at all- scared the sh*t out of me! Now I know what’s going on and think “oh, I’ll be un-paralyzed soon enough.” Anyway, I looked that up and apparently lots of people think you can communicate with spirits in this state. I’ll get back to you on how that goes

I always look my dream up. I’ve been having some weird ones latley too and I don’t like their meanings.
I have the teeth falling out dream almost weekly. For me, it’s a combo of feeling powerless/not in control and fearing failure. My brain never stops worrying!
Tina:
I am the same way, my brain never stops. Right now what keeps me up at night is: I can’t find my ipod (I am stressing about it and trying to think of where the heck it could be) and I am stressing about if it will rain the day of my wedding which is 5 months away…I never stop!
I’ve definitely had the teeth falling out dream (and pretty much every other anxiety dream there is).
PS- I like my red wine “chilled” also.
I always have dreams about my teeth falling out…in piles. It is like I have a mouthful of Skittles and I spit them all out at one time…over and over again. I read that those dreams mean you are going through a change in life…not sure if that is a valid evaluation…hmm
Ali:
Having helped countless brides through their weddings – mostly professionally and many, many friends – I’ve always begged them not to lose sleep about the possibility of rain on their wedding days. Of all the things in their control, this just isn’t one of them.
Keep thinking SUN and imagining the best day EVER – because it will be! Rain or shine, what matters absolutely is that you will meet Adam at that altar and, in front of all those who love you most, begin your lives together.
Hang in there and have fun – love reading your blog – and give a yell if I can help (I’m great at offering unsolicited advice…).
