EPIC!

In the words of my friend Michele, TODAY WAS EPIC! I really don't think it could've been any better!! G and I got up this morning and we went over to McPherson to see my SIL Heidi at work and go to The Shake Shoppe! It was awesome! It's a little place that sells protein shakes and a LOT of different protein shakes. I got a Snickers one and it was soooooo good. Seriously. The guy said it had about 300 calories and I honestly wasn't hungry after drinking it until I got home tonight from my bike ride around 8:30! If you are ever in the area, you should definitely check it out! :) I will definitely go back again!

So after that we drove home and got back around 1:30 or so and G took a short nap. I just chilled, Justin was sleeping since he's still working nights every night this week. :P boo... So he got up later and hung out for awhile, we looked at Vibram shoes because he said he wants to get a pair too. He found some that he likes and I found some I like, so I ordered them for us tonight! I'm pretty excited to get them! When I got my first pair, I honestly got them because they looked cool, not because I was ACTUALLY going to run in them. (I got them when I was 6 months pregnant) I found out through some research last night that the ones I got are actually made for the "moderate athletic enthusiast" so they aren't even REALLY made for running. Which is great because they are amazing when I run now, and the ones I just ordered are made SPECIFICALLY for running, so they should be even better!! (If that's possible!!) So I'm super pumped to get them. :) I even found a great deal, so it just got even better!

I got an e-mail this morning about doing a 5k in Sterling on Oct 8th. I really think I'm going to do it! I was telling Justin about it and that I was going to sign up for it whenever the sign up happens and out of no where he goes I wanna do it with you! :) I was sooooo excited!!! So, unless he happens to have drill that weekend we're gonna do it together! That will be so awesome. I'm getting excited about it already! I'm anxious for him to try vibrams, I hope he loves them as much as I do! :)

So, this evening I went on a bike ride. (7 miles) I wanted to run too but there was a middle school football game going on out there (I run at the HS track if I haven't mentioned that before) so I didn't get to go. But, at least I still got to bike! Heidi didn't feel very good so I went solo tonight. And, I gotta be honest, I've already broken my "rule" from my last blog. Haha I totally weighed again tonight. :P I know I know, but old habits are hard to break!! I'm down another pound though! I'm officially at 213! :) 3 more to go until goal #1! :) WHO'S EXCITED?!?! I know I am!!

I had Wendy's tonight. A chicken sandwich and their new sweet potato fries! YUM! I was thinking about it and it's seriously been at least 3 weeks since I have had fast food. I really hadn't thought about it until tonight. Didn't even notice! I'm sure that has helped in the last few weeks' weightloss! :) I can say I'm not good at cooking things at home and think way too often it's just "easier" to go grab something. Oh, and Wendy's Wild Berry Lemonade is yummy too!! :)

I also got my "GOD IS BIG ENOUGH" bracelet in the mail today!!!!!!!! My friend Amiee's church had them made and I noticed awhile back that she & her hubby had them and I happened to think about it one night and asked her about them. She said she would mail me one. Well... she mailed me 6!! I was sooo pumped!! I gave one to my SIL and I'm going to give 2 away tomorrow to a lady I know. :) If YOU want one, let me know!!! :)

So, see what I mean?! Today has been EPIC! So many good things happened today! :) Justin also got paid a lot more on his fire dept check than we expected, so that's always great too!!! It's just been a really great day. :) I get to watch my niece and nephew for a few hours tomorrow morning and then I get to see my best friend tomorrow evening sometime! Tomorrow is looking promising too! :)
