<\/p>\n…but it’s not flowing.\u00a0 So it’s a FIVE RANDOM THINGS day and a short one at that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 I haven’t taken my measurements since July, and apparently gaining some weight also meant losing an INCH on my waist and half an inch on my bicep (which I am still deciding if that’s a good thing or a bad thing).\u00a0 So crazy.\u00a0 So even though I’m up a bit, I am still making some progress.\u00a0 I may not be in the normal BMI category, but I am now in the low risk hip to waist ratio (by .01!\u00a0 Take that, inverted triangle body!)<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 I did my best mile ever again on Monday afternoon – 7:18.\u00a0 If you’ll remember, my best mile time before about a month ago was 7:50 – a record I set in 8th grade.\u00a0 I beat that and have been whittling the time down each week – 7:35, then 7:27… now I just have 19 seconds to shave off to beat my goal of a mile under 7 minutes.\u00a0 I want to try to do it by the end of September.\u00a0 What’s NOT going as well is whittling down my 5k time.\u00a0 I wanted to get under 25 minute but the best I’ve run so far is 26:40.\u00a0 I just haven’t been able to really find the right pacing so I don’t die by the end.\u00a0 I’m targetting a little unofficial 5k in a week and a half so I can put myself to the test then.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 Three weeks from tomorrow I will be getting on the plane to head to Vegas, and three weeks from Sunday we get married.\u00a0 It feels like there is so much left to do, but I think it’s just me freaking out.\u00a0 There’s not that much left to do.\u00a0 I mean, we just have to finalize the guest count and finalize the flowers\/decorations\/ceremony\/music and make a playlist for the reception and get Zliten his shirt and order the favors and…geez, this isn’t making me feel better AT ALL.\u00a0 Moving along…<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 Work is going well so far with the new and crazy.\u00a0 Still a lot of unknowns but I’m feeling less like my brain is moving at the speed of molasses and operating at 2 year old level.\u00a0 Sad to say that I can’t talk specifics for a LONG time, but I’m really looking forward to the day when I can.\u00a0 I do have my hand in 3 different projects right now but I like rolling like that.<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0 This week and the rest of the weekend stand to be pretty mellow, but Friday night is both the next Yelp Elite<\/a> party (this time, it’s a cocktail contest!) and a good friend’s birthday.\u00a0 We are heading to Fogo De Chao<\/a>.\u00a0 Yeah, that’s unlimited meat on swords you see there.\u00a0 I am still debating between splurging it up good or just ordering the salad\/sides bar which looks super yummy too.<\/p>\n 5b.\u00a0 I’d talk about my bachelorette party but I don’t have any pictures yet!\u00a0 Most of the pictures were taken on disposable cameras so waiting for someone to develop and scan them might take a while.\u00a0 Let it be known though that it was a blast!\u00a0 There was dancing and drinking and penis cake and lingerie gifts and great times with great girls.\u00a0 Oddly enough, I felt just fine the next day and I think everyone else was more hung over than I was (lots of water between shots and dancing the liquor out = ok next day).<\/p>\n Happy hump day!\u00a0 Tell me something random about your week!<\/p>\n
