Back from MIA.....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Yes I am STILL here and STILL working on me. Or at least I have been trying to.
So since my last update, things have been pretty busy.

Had a wedding on Saturday, Oct 23rd. Then ended the day hanging out at my brother's house. All of my sis-in-law's family was over with their kids and they all carved pumpkins.
For HOURS.

I was still in my wedding clothes and just didn't feel like getting dirty. So I watched:
How to Train A Dragon, Ip Man (AWESOME btw), and Legion.

That's A LOT in one night!

That following Sunday the boys had a football game. Which I tried making to but the weather was so crappy and traffic was hell. I sat on 520 for what seemed like forever (probablyl because I had to pee so bad)!

After almost 2hrs on the road I decided to just exit Southcenter so I can use the bano.
And then....shop! Might as well make good use of my time since I am down south!
So I picked up some clothes for work and headed to Lovers to put together a couple Halloween outfits!
The day was at least productive!

Following work week...
I DID make it a point to go to the gym regardless of how late I got out of work. Cardio almost every day - even if that was the ONLY thing I did at the gym. Got a couple good full body workouts in too.

Breakfast for the week still consisted of a Protein Shake (the Costco one) and a Honeycrisp Apple.
2-3 cups of green tea throughout the day.
I had salad twice this week from the cafe downstairs


Another day was lunch at Purple with Jason - belated birthday. 2 glasses of my fave CW, STONIER Pinot Noir, Sauteed Prawns w/Shoestring fries, Grilled Beef Tenderloin Skewers (Um...Jason obviously), Baked Brie, and we split a Lobster Mac n Cheese.

I can't go to Purple and NOT have the Lobster Mac!!! And my Stonier.....

Another day was lunch w/Dave...we headed over to Matt's Rotisserie & Oyster Lounge over in Redmond Town Center.

So of course I have to have some Oysters on the Half Shell (which he hates) all to myself, a glass of CW, and an Ahi Salad. Yum!

Friday.....

HALLOWEEN PARTY!!! I killed a bottle of Merlot BY MYSELF - in the span of almost 2 hrs. Drive up North to MT's place. Get dressed. She pours me a glass of this Chocolate Vodka w/Kahlua. Not bad. But...having downed a bottle of CW earlier, I KNOW this is not going to sit well later.

And it didn't. We get to the party and I DON'T need anything more to drink. We danced. Mingled. Saw someone from my team at this party (AWKWARD).

I think we headed back to the house around 1:30AM. BUT....we're locked out! Locksmith said he would be about 20min. Um yeah....

Over an hour passed and still no locksmith. So I decided to try and break in to their house with my credit card. After a few swipes and jiggles....

TADAA!!!

Damn...I should have done this an hour ago. Oh well. We're in. I'm tired. Not gonna try and drive home.

Saturday....I'm SUPER LATE to Lola Trinig's 90th Bday Celebration out on Beacon Hill. 3 hrs late actually. Oh well...better late than never!

GD Hangover. So of course...since I AM down south where else do I go? THE MALL!!! Picked up random stuff for myself, bday prezzie for Alexis, and some Joollibee =) Oh Peach Mango Pie how I heart thee!!!

Today the sun is out so - after some much needed cleaning in the kitchen and a load of laundry - I drive over to Northbend. Maybe I'll find something for my mom's bday prezzie out there. Nope. Nada.

J sees I'm "green" =P So I run a few more errands before heading over to his place to meet up with him and Maybelle. Take care of some stuff. Check out the new pad (Avalon Towers).

I WANT TO LIVE HERE. The view is BEAUTIFUL. The "lounge" area and fitness center.... awesome!

So after the tour we head out. Now I'm at Panera in DT Bellevue to study. I order a Tomato & Mozza Sammich w/Creamy Tomato soup and a small bag of chips.

Will head out of here in another hour and go to the gym. Do a quick full body workout and at least 30min cardio. My stupid shin still hurts so still no jogging. I've been alternating between doing MANUAL workouts, the INTERVAL workouts, and LOSE WEIGHT workouts on the elliptical. I need to do SOMETHING until my shin splint goes away.

I DID lose 3 lbs since my last update. So I must be doing SOMETHING right despite all the CW and eating out I've been doing.

Ok....time to study!!!
