Update on My Life

Let's start with a random thought: I just got done grocery shopping. My older sister, Brenna, was talking about judging people on the groceries they buy on her blog the other day. I realize I occasionally do that as well (only if there is no juicy gossip on the magazines). I judged my own groceries today. This is what I took from it: 80% of me wants to live forever, 10% of me wants to spoil my cat, 6% of me is dieting, and 4% of me realizes I only live once.

My grocery list:

A bunch of veggies

Bread with flax seeds

Organic chicken

Lots of fruit

An incredible amount of Friskies cat food

Some low-fat snakes and desserts

Beer

I've been doing a very good job at dieting. I still have fun, so it's slow going, but it's coming off. I finally came to terms that I might never fit into the dress I bought off eBay. My bust is... plentiful and my dress can't handle it. So I went on a more official wedding dress shopping trip, this time with Brenna, Lindsay, Mom, and my future mom-in-law, Peggy. I found a great dress that I ordered yesterday. I'm very excited about it. It's much more bridal, but casual and fun still.

I also finished my first 5K at the Heart Breaker Half. I finished it in a little less than 33 minutes (they still haven't come out with official race times yet). Here's a picture of me before the race:

I don't have a picture of me after the race. I was very flushed and out of breath though. Next step is to complete a 10K. Yay!
