Wednesday night,  there will be a nice size blogger dinner with some more awesome ladies!

Body Confidence: I bought a two piece bathing suit this weekend to go swimming with friends (Sunday & Monday), to beat the Texas heat.  For the first time, in years I had little frustration finding a suit and kept all negative thoughts, out of my head….that’s one Summer goal complete!

Other Happenings: The past month has been crazy for me. I was offered a new position at work. Go ME!  I am now a Case Specialist and I have one job, not twoHALLELUJAH.  Now, I’m about to train a coworker for my old positions and continue training for the new one, and were on a short time schedule….crazy.

I’m also excited to see what the month of June will bring!

How do you stay active over a holiday?

Girl Talk Over Frozen Yogurt

by Nicci on 08/21/2010

What makes GIRL TALK even better?

Eating delicious frozen yogurt of course.

I went to Yogurt Story this evening with my bestie Kirstyn.  Kirstyn started a new job and we haven’t been able to talk on gchat during the work week. 

 I attempted to go for frozen yogurt on my Chicago trip, but they have weird hours…closing at 8pm on the weekends!

So I was very happy for yogurt time!

In the Mix:

  • Red Velvet Cake
  • Alpine Vanilla
  • granola
  • white chocolate chips

The Red Velvet Cake sounded delicious but was too sweet for my taste buds.

 The Alpine Vanilla was hidden under there….somewhere.

Sadly, they didn’t have the green tea flavor available.

  • raspberries
  • watermelon
  • kiwi
  • mango
  • coconut
  • Oh wait….there were gummi bears in the mix too.

    So many flavors of fun.

    This reminded me of the first time I tried Yogurt Story, after a Blogger Meet Up with Trinity, Heather and Kelsey!

    Good times.

    I will now get back to my glass of wine and my Life Time movie addiction.

    Good Night :)

    Boy, Have I Missed Racing

    by Nicci on 05/22/2010

    Finally after months of putting it off, I ran an official 5k!

    I woke up bright and early to leave for my race; driving sucks especially when you take the wrong exit and you know where your going. I thank the sing-a- long I was having with the radio and not paying attention.  

    No clue as to where my half functioning Polar watch…I had no watch to run with. Boo!  

    I finished the 5k in 40:45:41  

    Okay for a first 5k and weeks…cough. cough. of putting off runs.  Actually annoyed with myself about the time (just a tad). Knowing I could have pushed myself and gone harder. Thinking back to my high school & college track days, when I was a sprinter. Then again this is not sprinting…this is long distance and I’m still building up endurance.  

    New Goals:  

    • Run 3x a week
    • next 5k under 35 minutes
    • Using couch to 5k app during my runs

    Can you spot me in this picture taken by Kyra’s hubby?? 

     

    Definitely had a great race this morning with Kyra and can’t wait to run another 5k.  

    (pardon the messy hair and sweating) :)   

    Have a great Saturday.  

    Chris and I couldn’t make it to friends b-day at the Ballpark so we’re going to a movie after he gets off from work?  

    Anyone seen Iron Man or Robin Hood. decisions. decisions.
