Back to reality

I don’t even know where to start, but overall my vacation was AWESOME. The weather was probably the best part about it! It was about 80ish degrees with a cool breeze which made it soooo easy to run 4 & 8 miles. We arrived Wednesday late night so we just went straight to bed. Thursday morning I woke up early with my future sis in law to run 4 miles of hills. OMG the weather REALLY does make a difference! We finished in a little over 40 minutes (I’m the slow one), and I still felt great! woohooo. The bf and I headed out to the city by ourselves since everyone ahd to work and go to school. We were total tourist, had no idea how to use the Metro at first but were able to figure it out easily. I have sad sad news, I somehow lost my USB cord again! All of my pics are on my regular camera and will have to buy a new cord ASAP! I didn’t take as many pics as I thought :( but I did get a few good ones. We easily walked a little over 4 miles everyday! Yesterday, I had to do my long run- 8 miles. It’s the most I’ve ever done! I finished in 1.5 hours and I couldn't’t be happier, considering all the rolling hills I’m not used to. I’m sure in Houston I would have finished in 2 hours hahaha.

California girl :)

The day before the Glenn Beck 8/28 Rally

8/28 RALLY- easily over 500, 000 ppl  (I wanted to die- crowds like that are not my favorite!)

My eating was not the best in DC. Unfortunately, I had ice cream twice and some not so good food. I am in full regret and need to learn some self control while on vacation!!! Anywho- speaking of food, My fridge is completely bare. I may have some old mushroom's, cheese, salad and deli meat, so tonight I will be spending some time @ Sam's & Kroger. I’m excited- I love grocery shopping :) I have no idea what to make for dinner this week, everything has been boring lately; salmon, flounder, veggies, sandwiches. I need to spice up my kitchen that’s for sure.

I think I’ll be weighing myself tomorrow morning, I need a reality check and kick things up to high gear. My best friend will be coming into town Thursday-Tuesday this weekend (to celebrate my bday on Friday) and I’m a little concerned with myself and the poor choices I will probably make.

I DO plan on splurging on Sprinkle’s cupcakes!! Has anyone ever had or heard of them?? I guarantee you it’ll be the best thing that’s ever slipped inside your mouth! :) Red Velvet is their signature cupcake, but there’s not one flavor I’ve tried and haven’t liked!! You can check them out @ www.sprinklescupcakes.com amazing stuff I tell ya.

I have some serious blog reading to do! Work has been so busy I’ve only visited 3 out of 3048139472378468236482 and that’s very little. Tomorrow I will be posting something a little more personal, the majority of the blogs I read are all super happy and positive, but in reality my life isn’t always like that. So I will be writing about how I ended up in Houston, left my home San Diego, and my life here so far.
