Back to Blogging! Why not start with a Linkup?

So I'm wanting to write again. Do I know what I'll write about? Does a bear eat potato salad every other Sunday with a platypus? Yea. Probably not. But that's okay! So I'll just catch you up on what is going on with this chick... right after I linkup!

Google Reader, who?

So apparently Google Reader went out the window forever ago, and I've been to busy not giving a (boop!) to write. So here I am late in the game letting you know that you can follow and receive updates when I decide to stop being lazy through BlogLovin.com. I have no idea how it works. But I'm following all my favorites through there and Blogger.com anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter if I get it, huh? I'll make a button on the sidebar to follow, or you can follow this link. Until later... maybe... or never. Whatev...

Linkup from the ... um... sink-up?

Well, once again I was reading a few of my fav blogs, and saw that Holly over at Where We Can Live Like Jack and Sally was having a Finish the Sentence Linkup.The person with the funniest answers wins a $10 giftcard. So naturally, I decided to join in, if not just for the quick and easy blog post. I'm a sleepy girl, after-all.

A Juno Post.... Because I love my dog just the right amount...

Just thought I'd share a few pictures of my running partner, then and now. Isn't she the cutest??

Shin splints...Oooh the Shin splints...

Pre-run, drinking water, while Juno impatiently
waits to go. The dog loves to run!

Aaand it's been nearly a month since my last post. I'm a slack-tastic blogger. If it makes you feel any better, I haven't slacked on running... Even though the pain in my legs and my ceaseless attempts to make it stop unsuccessfully makes me want to throat punch the next person I see - Bad news for The Stud...I kidd, I kidd. Wanna get caught up? Keep reading, then feel free to comment and tell me WTH I'm doing wrong :)

So I stumbled across some old pictures... FITspiration Found

Alright. So I'm not going to post a super long entry tonight. I'm up later than I would like to be, anyway. I just thought I would show you all what I looked like my senior year of high school, which is the INITIAL weight I'm going for. Once I hit it, I'll know I'm only 10 more pounds away from my ultimate goal. So... here ya go.

Really all that I need is to lose a little and tone up

Oh look. There's no massive muffin top. 

Aaaand I thought I was fat. 

I'm not ready to post a "before" picture yet. So don't ask...

Dear Sam, Are you there? It's me... Sam

Ah, yes. 16 did great things for my hair

So, I was reading a few different blogs again today and came across Where We Can Live Like Jack and Sally. Super cute name, btw. On this woman's blog is a page labeled "Letter to Myself" where she writes a letter to her 16 year old self. I loved it. So cute and heartfelt. Then I got to thinking... What would I say to me? Hmmm...

Non-Scale Victories! Can you dig it??

     So I happened upon miss Katie's blog through Mama Laughlin's blog. I was reading about her story and journey through weight loss and weighing in, when I came across her post about 'Non-Scale Victories.' I liked the idea so much, I thought I'd report my own... What's this? Two posts in a single weekend? Whoa, WATCHOUT! I'm comin' atcha! Here are my non-scale victories for the past week. 

Loot. Illness. Zombies.... Oh, My!

Alright so I posted earlier this month about how I won a giveaway over at Where Our Heart Is/Adeline Mae Desings. My bracelet came in last week and it's SO FREAKING CUTE!! It looks like the one pictured << except mine has the midnight blue thread. I absolutely love it! Thanks, girl! She's having a giveaway EVERY.SINGLE.MONTH. So head on over to her blog and check it out! Here's a link to this month's giveaway! You have until the end of the month! GO GO GO!! She posts a ton of cute stuff along with her giveaways, oh and go check out her store also! I plan on getting a few of her running bracelets as soon as I run each marathon :) MOVING ON!

I won! I won I won I won!!!

"where our heart is.: Giveaway Winner!: Samantha Jarvis won the strong bracelet! Email me the color you'd like and I'll send your bracelet out tomorrow :) "

I won! I never win anything! (I mean, I hit the jackpot with The Stud, but other than that....) Go check out her site and browse the store! Her bracelets are too cute!

Let's play a game of catch, shall we? Catch Up, that is...

Why a picture of The Stud and I
wrapped in lights? Because it's cute
and I love it. And I wanted I pic in
this post.... 

     SO writing once a day? Definitely not going to happen. Why? Because 1- I just don't have enough to say (shut up. don't even say anything. I can just hear those of you that know me...) and 2- my body has actually adapted to a big girl's schedule and I get sleepy at 9, wake up at 7:15 without my alarm (I lay there for another 20 minutes of course...) and my wits are slightly exhausted by the end of the day. Maybe once a week. If it happens to be more than that... well.... good for me, I suppose. Anyway! On to more exciting (eh, not really) things. How about them Ravens???
