Pool Party

Had a great time with some friends tonight. About 15 or so of us had a pool party.

friends, food and a hot tub...sounds good to me!

I just kept wishing it was really friday the whole time, so much so I think
I will be doing it again on friday.

Check out my insane tan lines. This is called Melanie does not know how to use spray sunscreen. Now I walk around looking like I have some freak rash. Yeah me!


I think we could have gotten another couple people in there.

soy beans and running

hey guys!

Food!
I cannot seem to eat enough edamame lately, I wonder if that means I am lacking in some vital nutrient. (To be fair I also ate at Krispy Kreme this week, I wonder what "vital nutriet" that covers!) If you have not tried it yet I found these easy steam bags of it at Target and it makes a great snack. (The edamame that is! There shall be no steaming of donuts!)

Exercise!
I took my first step to running today. I have no idea why I seem to want to run so bad. But I am going to give it a shot! I am following this guide and here is what it recommends week one.

Week one: Walk for 6 minutes, then jog at an easy pace for 1 minute. Repeat 3 times. Aim for three sessions with that same sequence for week one.

I actually found this pretty manageable so I shall keep going!

Fun!
Kelly and Scott had their birthday dinner last night. It was good to get to spend time with them again.
I ended up last night at a bar showing the UFC fight. I really enjoyed it. I have no idea why but I so found myself pulling for Matt Hughes.
I am very excited I get tomorrow off work!
I have been staying up entirely to late lately but it's been worth it.

Any of you guys on twitter?

Are you guys amused I seem to be too lazy to write here? That is why you just seem to get pictures! ha.

Last night I went to a cookout at Molly's new place. (wow, what a townhome!) Gabe and Molly went ALL OUT and had some awesome food.

Here is a picture from last night - the 3 amigos!


Then today we had a "party" at Seacoast called Mayhem. Lots of fun, food and 80's music for all!

On a totally different topic if you see that shirt I am wearing it is just a L. That's right not an XL just a L. I don't even know the last time I could say that.

yup yup!

If you look back you see that one year from today I started Jazzercise! Wow has it ever changed my life.

-Almost 50 pounds GONE!
-I consistently work out for a solid hour 3-4 days every week
-I went from a size 22 at lane bryant to a 16 at old navy! (woot!)

Plus now I get these crazy thoughts in my head like I want to start running or work on auditioning to be a jazzercise instructor.
