Aaaand.... The work begins! Now that the holidays are over I need to work on wedding stuff and getting my place to move in a few months!
January 8 - January 14
Day 8: 0 Miles - My fiance and I worked on my apartment! I spent the entire afternoon going through my huge walk-in closet. It's pretty much 90% finished, which feels great! I have three giant black trash bags full of donations. After a job well done we went to Chuy's to celebrate Elvis' birthday! Then after that we went through our engagement photos then looked honeymoon costs!
Day 9: 0 Miles - I went up to the cafe that my fiance works at to have breakfast. I was so nervous! I never met any of his coworkers before, but I have heard a lot about them. It was fun, and not as bad and awkward as I thought it was. Afterwards I did some errands, which included making an appointment at a bridal salon. I start shopping for a wedding dress on Sunday!
Day 10: 0
Miles - I woke kinda late this morning, and I really wanted to get through all the papers that I needed to shred. I'm about 90% done with that! Yay! I also cleared out some more things on a desk. I did do a kettlebell workout and more push ups to make up for not running. I hope to run on Thursday!
Day 11: 0
Miles - The usual rest day. I didn't even do my push ups. I was tired when I woke up and I had to get gas in the car before work, but I needed breaksfast. I headed to Starbucks, but they were in the weeds (uber busy an struggling to keep up with demand) so I just got my usual black coffee but no sandwhich. I got gas a QT station and ran inside to grab a pre-heated breakfast sandwhich. There were two guys in line. The first was getting lottery tickets. Waiting, waiting, waiting... oh! The other QT worked appears, yay! I made it to work with one minute to spare! Work in general was pretty busy.
Day 12: 6.21
Miles - First outdoor run of the year! Whoo hoo! It's also the farthest I've run since the marathon. It was a nice 70 degree morning when I headed out. I felt great the majority of the run. During the last mile I was feeling a bit of achy in my knee and my hamstring, but otherwise I felt good! I did push myself during the last half mile to make sure that I was at a sub-90 finish time for a 10k. Right around the 5k mark I was thinking about all of the races I could (and could not) be doing. I was hoping that I might be able to meet up with my running buddy on MLK Day since she'd be off from work, but it looks like we're going to get some rain. Hmm! We'll see what happens!
Day 13: 0.0
Miles -It was a long and busy day! I didn't get to my push up or sit ups. After work the fiance and I visited some friends. For dinner we had Whataburger and omigosh, it was so good!
Day 14: 0.0 Miles - Last day of the weekend! I got my stuff ready for meeting our potential wedding photographer and for my first day of dress shopping excursion, which is all set for tomorrow! Ack!
Total Miles this week: 6.21 Miles
Miles to Date: 9.36 Miles

2017 OMaD - Week 1
Happy New Year to everyone! This is the third year that I 'll be keeping up with some form of One Mile a Day to see if I can improve myself. I can tell you now that I will not be training for a full marathon this year because of the time constraints I will face when I should be spending my time planning my wedding. So this year, I'm going to focus on half marathons an overall fitness.
Right though... I'm recovering from being sick!
January 1 - January 7
Day 1: 0 Miles - Happy New Year! I got sleep in a bit, and my fiance made me a breakfast, which ate most of! Yay me! With my throat hurting so much I can barely eat because of the pain, and because of the pain it would make stomach hurt. So, in the end, I small amount of food for the past few days and would have to eat every few hours. After breakfast, we pretty much binged watched The Walking Dead in between naps. It was a nice and quite thing to do while everyone else were out doing their thing.
Oh! And I wanted to share with you what I had shared what I did on this day in 2016:
Day 2: 0 Miles - Another day off. I was so tired, probably because I wasn't eating very much all day. The downside was that I was late.
Day 3: 0 Miles - The last bit of the painful stuff in my throat went away today! I'm not out of the woods yet since I'm still having sinus congestion, but I can finally eat normally! Yay!
Day 4: 0 Miles - Rest Day, as usual! I had so much energy today it was wonderful! I got a lot done at work! I also emailed a couple wedding photographers with my fingers crossed that they reply. One emailed me later in the day, and she sounded wonderful!
Day 5: 3.15 Miles - My first run of the year! I ran on the treadmill since it was too cold for me to run outside, especially since I'm almost done recovering from being sick. I finished the run strong and at a fast pace, which felt nice even though it made me a little light-headed. A older gentleman walking a few treadmills down from me started asking me questions when I was cleaning up and stretching. He asked how long I typically work out, which I saw was about and hour tops. He joked that I must be on the Olympic team, and I said I wasn't. I was a marathoner. We talked a little bit before I left. I totally felt awesome afterwards because a complete stranger acknowledged my fitness! I also started doing push-ups this morning too. It was only 15. 5 regular position and 10 on my knees. It's gonna be hard to do the regular position because I SUCK at it!. But it's my goal that by the end of the year that I can do regular push-ups like it's nothing!
The rest of my day was pretty awesome! My fiance had a job interview in the morning and was offered the job on the spot! Yay! We're both very excited because he no longer has the burden of finding a job by the end of the month (the contract for the kitchen he works for ends this month and all the cooks are forced to find new jobs. Talk about pressure and stress!). Plus, it'll be able to help narrow in our search for an area to move to in a couple of months!
Day 6: 0.0 Miles - I did 15 push ups. It was hard! I suck at regular push ups! This was a good day, but I was so ready to be home. I had written an awesome proposal for work and found out that it may not be a viable program because the director hasn't made up her mind despite telling me that I need to this. Ugh! We had one of our favorite comfort foods - Chinese. It was delicious, especially the Hot and Sour soup that soothed my throat!
Day 7: 0.0 Miles - I had a busy day at work, and it was a lot of fun. Afterwards I made some really good junk nachos. Tomorrow my hubby-to-be is gonna help me work on my apartment!
Total Miles this week: 3.15 Miles

OMaD - Week 53
The last week of the year! This year went by so fast! I hope your year was as good as mine! I ended the year being sick and very tired.
December 25 - December 31
Day 360: 0.0 Miles - Merry Christmas! I spend brunch time with my fiance's family. This was the first Christmas that I have ever spent away from my own family! I was surprised as to how many presents I got! We then went down to my mom and dad's for Christmas part II. It was a really good day!
Day 361: 0.0 Miles - I hadn't planned on running today because I wanted to hang out with my mom and family for a bit. It was a goo thing I didn't because I had eaten so much junk food and savory food that I felt sick all day (it began in the night too). Ugh! No more apple pie for me. So sad.
Day 362: 0.0 Miles - Slept in a bit and no running. I felt better though. I made some rice with black beans and dice tomatoes, which I knew would be easy on the tum-tum.
Day 363: 0.0 Miles - Just another Wednesday!
Day 364: 0.0 Miles - I had the day off, which was perfect because, well, I started with a scratchy throat. I did a quick 15 minute kettelbell workout before hanging out with my family. By the time I met up with my fiance for dinner, I was had a sore throat. By the end of the night, I was took sick and tired to go home and had to stay. I had a fever. Boo! My sweet made me homemade chicken noodle soup to help me out.
Day 365: 0.0 Miles - I had to call in sick cause my sinus drain was coming from ears, and my throat was killing me. I nearly fainted when I go up in the morning. I pretty much stayed in bed alll day. I would wake up and answer a text from my bosses. At one point my fever broke. I ate a little soup then slept some more.
Day 366: 0.0 Miles - When your boss in Admin texts you the day before seeing if you're able to come into work... after you had already talked to your direct boss about maybe not... you tell your Admin boss that you'll be at work the next day. I pretty sat there did a little work, tried to stay away, and hid my pained face every single time I swallowed anything in a big giant scarf. Just kill me! I barely made it to midnight and I was dead to the world in sleep.
Total Miles this week: 0.0 Miles
