Botox

So as many of you know I have horrible migraines. I am right now (still) waiting in the doctor's office to get Botox as a preventative for them. I am quite excited as I have heard wonderful things about it and I won't have to take pills 2 or 3 times a day! Has anyone heard anything? Will keep y'all updated! :)

Lead me

Yesterday at work, a guy I work with mentioned his girlfriend was out of town. Then later, when it was time to go home, he said how he was in a rush because he had a date- obviously not with his girlfriend. How sad is it that this is the state of the "man" of the day. This reminded me of a call to action to the guys in a meeting I was at Sunday. The meeting was for leaders of small groups for my age group. A guy there noticed that there were more female leaders than male. While this is great for women leading women, in general it is not to good. Guys were meant to be leaders at home, at work, at church,in the family, in the government and we ladies should be there to support and encourage. Now I am not saying they are always right but we should be there to back them up always break them down. And in return they honor us with chivalry rather it be opening doors, taking out trash, listening to girlfriends or wives carrying up groceries or picking up chairs after a meeting. I really think if we as society got back to this basic and biblical principal we would see divorce rates go down and happier marriages maybe even some more "Camelot" years. Check out the song "Lead me" by Sanctus Real. It's maybe my new favorite.

Just my thoughts.

Open face

So this is my new all time fav sammie. I got it from skinnytaste.com. It's basically a blt subbing the mayo for some avocado. OMG so good.

But it led me to this- how in the world are you supposed to eat an open face sandwich without getting your hands all messed up or the contents of it sandwich falling out or with out a fork and knife. Really people. Anyone have a solution.

Also, the bf broke some news to me yesterday that left me with an open face. I have told a few people. This open face news makes me want to cry all the time. Feel like a rug has been pulled out from under me and been punched in the lungs. So if anyone had any tips on that I'd appreciate those as well.

But try the sandwich. Tomatoes and avocados are in season so they are cheap!

"Running"

So after working my butt off at the gym before a beach trip, I obviously didn't want to lose all the work I had been doing and start all over when I got back (sidenote: been back a week and no gym gonna blame the migraine I HAD on that one - reason had is in caps is for another sit). My bestie Ashley and her hubs and cutie son had arrived a few days before us and had a ongoing convo about if this intricate mailbox design was a mermaid or a naked angel. Boyfriend and I decided we'd go for a run early and get a good pic of it!

Well my "running" is more run a song walk a song so I sent him a head especially since I have been the elliptical queen the past few months. During the next worst hour of the entire trip, I missed the bright orange mailbox, a city worker stopped working and offered me a sip of water out of the cooler on the side of his truck and boyfriend and I both discovered we cannot run (even though he ran double my distance and worked in sprints) and set a goal to start to run and run a race (well I want to run a race).

Tomorrow marks day one of running and y'all I am nervous. First off I didn't play sports (more of my being so tall the coaches made me come to tryouts and placed me on the team) but my love was dance so these 5'11 muscles are lean-ish and don't like running. Unless there is cake. Then they run like a tracker jacker is behind me!

And the is the running attire. The norts ride up so compression shorts are needed and shorts mean you have to be sure your legs are shaved. Which no girl likes to do. Then what about up top what if it is cool? You must layer but my apt complex is not my bedroom I can't just throw my clothes around when I take them off. Any tips on that?

And liquids... I love having my water bottle handy when I am on the elliptical.

Now Mr. Bentley he is gonna be so excited. He is the reason I will get up and do this. Get energy out of him. He loves to run.

So y'all wish me well! Couch to 5k here we come!

Oh and by the way the mailbox was a mermaid. Makes more sense then the angel. And we pulled over and looked one night.

Thanks for listening!
