Oh man what a whirlwind of a couple of days from the last time I posted. Which by the way, I have sat down to write at least a dozen times in the past few days, but of course I got distracted or just plain old busy. But thankfully this weekend I have had the pleasure of being off, all weekend and it has been everything I had hoped it to be. I haven't had to do laundry, even though yes, I have at least two piles waiting or even really cleaned my apartment either. I leave those tasks for after work or a day of the week day off, because weekends off come very rare and I do not want to miss out on them. Wednesday I did happen to go to Trader Joe's because I was downtown in the area and well, I mean how could I not. They have all there glorious Pumpkin items out. I could have picked up everything and anything but I stayed with just a few things..  These are Pumpkin Items I haven't had from there yet either. The seeds are really good, they are pumpk

Beginning of a new Season

Yay for the First Day of Fall!! I seriously love, LOVE Fall, but Fall here in Florida is way different then Fall back home. The weather doesn't start cooling down for a couple of more weeks here, but who the heck cares, I can pretend it is cool indoors with lots of sweats on. I love this time of year because it is a new beginning. With each season, something new always begins as the old trickles out. Fall and Winter for me, are super crazy because of work. Fall usually brings me all the prep for Winter and the Christmas holiday season. This Fall will be much different, mainly because I am not training for a marathon and then trying to get my life back after the marathon, which be honest, has been an all year event, due to the fact I twisted my ankle in the beginning. But fall here also brings some also festivals to go to, MORE running, More races and more nights I want to outside and more running anytime of the day, not just morning or night. So I am I super happy for Fall

Good Friday Morning. Hope everyone is having a pretty fantastic week. Hard to believe that the 3rd week of September is a day away from being over. I mean holy crap where is this month and year going!!!! I woke up to not my alarm this morning for work, I tossed and turned and then just let go and put my feet on the ground and said the heck with it. I, of course am working this morning and all weekend and week actually. I do not have a day off until next Friday, a long stretch for no real reason actually lol. So I figured with my Coffee poured, I would sit down really quickly and tell ya what I have been saying YAY to this week.... Each of these bad boys are 4pp. Make sure to MEASURE those cashews because they are DANGEROUS!!! The Dill Pickle ones are now my new Fav!! And I LOVE the Pumpkin Spice English Muffin, I use a little spray Butter and then sprinkle some Pumpkin Spice on top, LOVELY!! Loving my all new sneakers. Only problem, I obsess about keeping them clean n

Falling into Fashion with Oakleigh Rose

Good Thursday Morning!! Okay so this morning, we are going to Talk about the Sparkle aspect of my life. In the beginning of the year, I really wanted to focus on my attire. How I dressed, my accessories, putting myself together. I have always been someone who just goes to the beat of their own drum, but my fashion sense, has not always been the same way. I am a plain Jane kind of girl. One who wears things that are comfortable, but then I also love a little extra too. I know, it doesn't seem to make sense but it does. It wasn't until around College that I really started to love clothes and dressing up, etc. In College, I worked at Aeropostale for almost 3 years. I LOVED that job. Seriously, it had me falling in love with retail and that was the job I realized I was really good at selling, but I also found out I really loved clothes! Working at Aero, you got a crazy awesome discount. I mean crazy awesome and considering that the  clothes were inexpensive to begin with, mad

Weekend Update

Happy Sunday Everyone!! Happy Sunday Football too!  Can you tell we are Redskins fans haha?!! Well I'm kind of like made into a Redskins fan but I'm play along! James was super excited for today, I was happy to have friends over and just chill out. I decorated our apartment, made some snacks for them and had a grand old time. Then I took some time for Me, grabbed some Froyo and headed downtown to my favorite spot ever... Which is also where I ran 5 miles on Friday!!! My longest mileage since before my accident... Pretty damn happy about that run. I felt good, pretty slow pace but I felt really awesome running in it. I did the first mile with no walk breaks and then the 4 doing Galloway with 2:1's. It was hot as heck and I was dripping sweat for like an hour after but it was the best part of my day. Okay so I haven't chatted about weight loss lately. I'm still on this roller coaster ride for sure. Each day it is different but I'm happy to say, I stopped weighing
