{Lil bit of this, Lil bit of that}

Before I get into clothes I've been loving lately, I have to say I've been eye googling this guy I work with.
I know nothing about this guy except for these facts: he's handsome as ever, he's friends with a guy married to a girl I kinda know, he doesn't wear a wedding ring (but it doesn't mean he's not married), his name, and where he works. He doesn't work directly with me but that's the ONE thing that's stopped me from being more bold with this guy. As it is, we only smile at each other in passing in the hallway and when he walks by my section he looks over to smile. Not everyone though likes to date people they work with. We do not work directly together, just in the same room but different sections. We have no connections other than the girl I kinda know who is married to his friend. She doesn't even work with us any longer.

Have I ever mentioned I'm a shy introvert outside work? Seriously, it's ridiculous. Anyway, just thought I'd mention that tid bit about the guy since it's been on my mind since like June. I did notice he wasn't at work last night and happened to walk out to the restrooms with his married guy friend. He and I talked about his wife, their future immediate plans, and school. I was able to throw in the fact that I'm single before asking him, "You look like you're going out to smoke. Where's your smoking buddy?" Yes, he smokes too but I don't know if I'd be okay with that or not. If he's a good guy, why not? Anyway, the friend only laughed a little and said, "Yeah, I'm a little sad he took the night off." That was all he gave me. Guys! ;)

So, I've been buying all kids of crazy clothes and shoes lately. New clothes for the fall season. I love it. Here are a few of my recent purchases...

Navy blue Madden Girl shoes similar to Tom's
but more budget friendly
{Love} them! Talk about comfort!

Gray cardigan

Navy/White striped cardigan and green lace cami

Mustard yellow cardigan, cobalt blue skinnies, and white chucks

This bikini
I'm loving the stripe and solid color separates!
PLUS, each piece was $6.50

Seriously, how cute are these?!

LOVE these $40 boots from Amazon!

Another Amazon find!

The only thing left to mention right now is I will be making my way to Best Buy at some point today to see about trading in my Samsung Galaxy SIII for the Samsung Galaxy S4. Super excited about that possibility! I'm also looking forward to my mom and aunt visiting this weekend for a few days.

Oh! And can I just say I got tons of compliments from the guys I work with on my hair being straight. It was amusing and of course I enjoyed every second of it! ;)

Yesterday, right before work

                          

{A day late and a dollar short}

I have been so extremely slacking with my blog lately. :/ 

I'd say I'm sorry but I'm kinda not.

It's the guy.

No, it's not his fault but he keeps me busy.

It's pretty nice.

Really nice actually.  :) 

Don't worry though, if/when this ends, I'll come running back to mama!

Not really me, but I'm sure it's how I look all dang day.

So, time for the monthly weigh-in.

Of course it would happen during shark week

~~~^~~lol~~~

Lil Hobbit feet. ;)

I will weigh myself again in a week since that will have given my body time to go back to "normal" (whatever that is) after being bloated and all that.

That number up there though... it's exactly the same number from a month ago!

But you know what?

I say screw it.

I am eating right.

(Ok. I didn't today but it was either eat or kill people and I wasn't in the mood to go to jail.)

I workout 6 days a week.

I lift weights 3 times a week.

I run 3-4 times a week.

I feel great.

I want to feel amazeballs.

Don't you worry you're pretty little head though; I'll get there.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Lil bit of Pinterest Inspiration going on here...

Oh yeah, the great thing about him also is he likes to workout too.

Complete brownie points for that.

So, what else has been going on?

Running has been great.

Except for the shin splints that is.

They've been bothering me for a bit but I've been ignoring them.

Finally, I decided to just take a week off from running and ice the shins often.

I also bought a pair of compression sleeves from Amazon.

Once I get to wear them, I'll write about it and tell you all about them.

Even though shark week is here ~~^~~lol~~~ and even though I've eaten this twice...

I'm still eating stuff like this also...

Which broiled grapefruit, btw, is amazing!

We also went from having 75 (and warmer) degree weather to like 4-5 inches of snow.

It snowed ALL day yesterday.

I was not a fan.

Oh yeah!!
I almost forgot some important news!!
I've given up alcohol for the remainder of the year!
Yikes!!
It started out as only for the month of May.
A friend on the FaceBizzy then challenged me to the remainder of the year.
I accepted with one exception:
That I be allowed to drink on my birthday!
What the hell was I thinking?!
Challenge accepted!

So, I should update more often so this isn't as long!
