Hello!!!! How is everyone?! Good? Good! We are one more day closer to the weekend woo-hoo! These weeks are flying by! I cannot believe in 8 days I will be boarding a plane to head to Fitbloggin’ 
So excited!!!! I was super busy today and had NO time for a lunch post…booo! I have been working right through my lunch everyday for the past few weeks 
Lunch was some pumpkin chili. I made this chili about two months ago and I froze it. A few days ago while going through my freezer looking for something, I saw it and thought, “Yum!” so I took it out and put it in the fridge to defrost. I had about 2 cups of it with a spoonful of plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream and a little organic low fat cheddar. It was awesome, just like the day I made it. Thank you freezer
This afternoon I ran 5.3 miles in 49:49. It felt great until I got off the treadmill and realized that my blister from Monday was KILLING ME! I think I may have made it worse? I am not sure I am hoping that it will feel better after resting all night. Tonight, I met with my group that I am working on my presentation for tomorrow with. I think that we have everything down pretty good. So hopefully, it will go well. I will keep you guys posted! Oh- I found out today that I got a 97% on my video and a 97% on my paper for the same class!!! YES! A special thanks to my editor, John. Thanks for all your edits on my papers, it is sooooo helpful! While meeting with my group, I sipped a grande iced coffee from Starbucks.
Dinner was left over pizza from Sunday afternoon and some steamed brussel sprouts.
While watching TV with Adam, he totally twisted my arm into sharing a little ice cream with him. Honestly, sometimes I say he twists my arm and he doesn’t, but this time- he really did. We split a small juice glass full of peanut butter cup ice cream. I took a few small bites and savored them. I looooove this stuff 
Well, it is nighty night for this girl. I am up at 5:15 to get my booty to the Body Pump 73 launch!!!!! Woot Woot! Nothing gets a girl out of bed like a new Body Pump set, am I right?! Have a great night and see you tomorrow morning! Sleep tight!

Good work on your grades!! That’s awesome to see all your hard work paying off!!
Congrats on the A’s!! Always the best feeling after bust’n your hump and it pays off. Can’t wait to read your posts when you come back from Fitbloggin!
I got some questions for you regarding ‘running watches’. I recently decided to sign up for my very first 5K ever. The problem? I’ve never ran in my life. I did some research about what type of ‘feet’ i have, bought the right shoes, got plenty of workout clothes…but now…i need a watch thingy to track time and distance, heart rate etc.
I know absolutely nothing about these watches. I know you’ve got a Garmin, and you’ve been able to log each mile time, i would have no idea how to do that! Can you explain to me a little bit about how your watch can tell you your time on mile 1, 2, 3, etc, when you’re done?
I’m all for reading instructions on a new gadget, so I dont need the simplest one, but can you recommend one that could track heart rate, distance, time and especially lap time? And preferably under $100?? I’ve tried looking online, but I’m just boggled by all the selections!
Thanks!

Thanks Dez! Well, I don’t know much about anything besides the garmin. I actually just tweeted this to get some recommendations for you. I got one so far for the Nike Sports Band, I will let you know other I find out about.
The Garmin lashed at each mile and tells me how fast I ran it. But, they way I look it up when I am done is through the Garmin software on my computer. It comes with the software and I plug the watch into the USB port and it loads my run so I can see my splits and a whole bunch of graphs that compare heart rate, speed, pace, distance etc. It is am amazing training tool! I love it. But, I would wait to get a Garmin until you have been running for a while.
I will let you know what I find out.
I have to say, I’m a bit jealous of all you lovely bloggers going to fitbloggin’. I would love to go, especially since it’s so relatively close to NYC, but unfortunately I can’t swing it this year. Hopefully next year! Can’t wait to hear all about it. Have fun!
