Ten on Tuesday

Since I have been slacking on my blog lately, I figured I would participate in Ten on Tuesday!

1. I think I have become a morning person. I have been trying and been rather successful at getting to work by 7:30 in the morning. Which means I am up by 6:15. Surprisingly, I have been rather awake by the time anyone comes into work which is unusual for me-I typically don't feel awake until 10 or so...not anymore!

2. I am hardly ever on Facebook anymore. I have no free time during the day at work and I am too tired and have been on the computer all day so its the last thing I want to do at night when I get home. Do I miss it?? Not really...

3. Today is Ashley and mine's 5 month anniversary. It has definitely gone by very fast!! I am so lucky to have him in my life-he always makes me smile and calls me just to say he thinking of me. He knows how to cheer me up when I am sad and he is always making me laugh. Is this what love feels like?

4. As of today, I have lost 5 lbs and I did it without even trying! I haven't weighed myself in at least 6 weeks but I am pretty sure I have lost it within the last 2 weeks since I started at Duke. Since then, I no longer have access to the pantry or refrigerator. Plus, I have been packing my lunch daily with healthy things like salads, fruit, and nuts and have cut down on my portion sizes. I have a mini goal of losing 2 more pounds by marathon day-March 21st!

5. Speaking of marathon day- is it here yet? I feel like these last 3.5 weeks since Myrtle Beach have crawled by. I just want it to be over. I...am...done....with....the...training......! My legs ache constantly, I am stiff if I sit for too long and I have lost 2 toenails. I just want my feet to look pretty again and now that the weather is warm and I can start wearing sandals, I can't because my toenails are scary looking. And if you know me, going out with sandals on and no nail polish is unacceptable!

6. I love soring time but could deal without the allergies/pollen. My asthma always acts up this time of year but I refuse to let it get in my way of being outside and enjoying the fresh sporing air!

7. My new job has gotten me into drinking coffee every morning. Of course, I put in at least 2 tablespoons of sugar and half a cup of milk in it. My mom says that is not coffee but that is the way I like it.

8. Easter is my favorite holiday. I love all the bright, spring colors plus I love bunnies. And who doesn't love the Cadbury Egg commercials?

9. I am loving this 70 degree weather. I love having my windows open. I hope it continues!!! It hasn't been as hard adjusting to the warmer weather while running either.

10. My parents will be here next week for marathon try #2. Hopefully it doesn't snow this time....
