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!
