So normally I talk about my Trouble Tuesdays, but today is all about terrific. That really didn't make sense, but this Tuesday turned out to be pretty solid.
Went to Weight Watchers and lost weight so that is a positive. I will talk more about that on Weight Watcher Wednesday. Losing weight though is always great and I am at my lowest since who knows when which makes for a very happy person!
So besides that I have gotten everything put together for my Halloween costume. Need to return one pair of suspenders and also pick up some duct tape probably and it will be all set. Maybe I'll post a picture here later.
Picked up two pair of boots I ordered, but of course my fat calves didn't fit into one of the pairs. So I returned those ones and then got a different pair. PLUS I got $10 put back on my credit card despite getting a 25 percent discount on the original two pairs. So two pairs of boots for $79 which is good if you know anything about boots.
Today was also a great workout. I planned on doing just a 25 minute run, but once I got through the first half I figured I could finish the second 25. Dang it was tough but I did it. I am sort of disappointed though because I am still not near 6.2 miles in an hour. My goal is to finish the 10K on Thanksgiving in an hour, but that would mean I was running a 10-minute mile. On Saturday, I was running just under that, but I am not sure I could keep it up the whole time. I will be able to run it and that makes me happy. Hopefully there is not a repeat of last year when I got a bloody nose a mile in. That made for a difficult run.
I also dyed my hair again and it very dark. I actually LOVE this color on me. Sometimes I like the red in it, but I really prefer the dark color. I am getting really excited about the upcoming weekend and I hope it doesn't disappoint.
Until tomorrow,

Weekend Warrior: Homecoming 5K
I would say I was a weekend warrior because I ran my fastest 5K ever at the GVSU Homecoming race on Saturday. Almost a sub-30!...official time was 30:44. Of course as I got a side stitch a half mile in and spent most of the race bent over in half. This led to extremely sore hamstrings and quads.
Back to 10K training tomorrow though. 25 minute run 1 walk 25 minute run. ROUGH!
This weekend was also a war. I kind of lost my mind a little bit. I think I have just been tired of counting and paying so close attention to what I am eating. So I would say this was not a good weekend. Sometimes I think I just need to "take off". Back to normal tomorrow. Speaking of which means I need to make lunch.
Weekends when I have three home events also take a lot out of me. Friday I had a soccer game and then ended up going out afterwards despite knowing I had to be up before 8 a.m. on Saturday. Woke up on Saturday for the race, did it and then had a pancake breakfast. I was going to stay at work until the game later, but decided that it had plenty of time to go home and shower/nap. Well I definitely did that, but I set my alarm for a.m. instead of p.m. and thus woke up an hour later.
Football did not take too long so I was out by 11:30 and went to the bar for a drink. I definitely didn't need to get a drink or have some chicken tenders, but I did because I hadn't had them in a while. Went to bed early and then today had soccer.
Weekends where I have to work every day definitely takes a lot out of me. So here I am on my couch doing nothing. Sometimes I wish I had a normal job where I was guaranteed a weekend, and other times I know that I love what I do regardless of when I work.
Well back to work tomorrow...and the looking forward to Saturday to celebrate Halloween. May try to make it to a corn maze and get a pumpkin because I have not carved one yet which is pretty depressing.
Until next time,
