I fi-na-lly made my 2010 recap post and it is all queued up for tomorrow morning! :) It’s 3:20. I want to be up by 10:30 to: - figure out WHAT IM DOING TONIGHT IN MY NEW HOTT DRESS. 2 possible plans. None set in stone. - Runrunrun! - Start Level 2 Day 1 of the Shred - Answer the messages and emails I’ve gotten the last couple days (I’m not ignoring anyone, I promise!) -...

Ladies!
(and maybe even gents. My dad was a fashion buyer, so I won’t judge). I need your opinions! Remember this post? I’m going shoe shopping! I was thinking high heel ankle boots. Yes? Or should I go with just a plain high heel (I have some 4-inch patent leather round toe platform heels). Or do you have another suggestion?

After snowpocalypse, a lot of the roads were plowed but only a select few people decided it’d be a good idea to shovel their sidewalks. My training says I have to run today, so I was all I can totally run through the snow and if I have to, I’ll run on the roads shoulder. This is how you know I’m a blonde. Because no one in the common-sense-part of their minds would think...

Snowed in!
We’re closing the office, so work was cancelled for tomorrow. I have eaten so much these last few days, like whoa! And I don’t feel bad about any of it. Back on track tomorrow (today). I ran 3 miles in the snow for my training in my new running tights! That was fun! I also shredded twice today to make up for not shredding on Christmas. And I shoveled the walk. Hopefully...

20+ inches of snow?
Do. Not. Want. Half marathon training (that I’m using for my 10-miler) is/was supposed to start today. I’m leaving Maryland now, so hopefully by the time I get home, the snow will have held off long enough for me to get my run in!

I. Am. So. Awkward!
Apparently I don’t know how to leave voicemails. My entire voice gets about 5 octaves higher and I forget what I’m going to say and then I ramble and end up ending the voicemail saying Yeah so, call me when you get this. Or, I’ll call you. Oh, you can call me up until 5 because after that I won’t be able to answer. Or actually, I’ll just try you back tomorrow. ...

I have “Total Eclipse of the Heart” stuck in my head, while watching the eclipse, and if I had Eclipse the movie on well, that’d just be crazy. But, I need to sleeep (in 16 minutes after I experience the mid eclipse which apparently epic too).

- Completed Day 1 Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred (Observation: I did 2 days of the Shred back over the summer, before I started running.  The cardio part of the video killed me!  I couldn’t even do the first two minutes.  This time? It was like nothing.  My endurance has improved TREMENDOUSLY). - Took “beginning” photos for comparison at the end of the Shred (When I look at myself...

Thank yous and replies.
Thank yous and replies. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who liked and left lovely comments on the two pictures I posted this weekend.  I was going to respond to each one, but realized it would say the same thing each time.  This community of people never ceases to amaze me. Replies: jaayyb00 replied to your photo: This shirt = early Christmas present! I got it… she’s serious!...

I have baked so many cookies today...
And I’ve eaten so much cookie dough and now I feel ill. Maybe I shouldn’t do that anymore. So, how ‘bout them Eagles?! I would like to put a collective LOLNYSportsTeams out there. It’s been quite an ahhh-mazing week in Philadelphia sports ♥

The Frenemy.: Imma Bitch! →
thefrenemy: BICHES AIN’T SHIT… I always thought that “bitch” was reserved for girls in high school who wore North Faces and pleated skirts. Or girls at clubs who sipped their drinks like a bunch of fancy, nasty-ass bitches who got nothing to back it up! Finally, I thought ‘bitch’ was a word overused to… The Frenemy knows me too well.

Last winter, I bought a pair of slouchy boots and instantly fell in love with them. I wore them all the time, with everything. I’ve been wearing them this winter, too. Well, the other day, it was raining and I wore them and water got into my boot because I’d worn a hole into the heel from wearing them so much. Needless to say, I’m on a mission this afternoon to find a new...

Way back when...
And by that I mean last week, I posted my angry feelings about ESPNW. I just found out there’s a Fuck No ESPNW Tumblr. So, obviously my new favorite website. In other news, I ran about 3 miles today. I took DayQuil about an hour before I went out because I’m dumb and ill and I think I have strep. 1.5 miles out, I was getting blurry vision. All I could think was “Good...

Yoga and Jillian Michaels.
By far, my favorite Jillian-phrase has got to be: “And if you wanna be bananas, you could go there.” I guess it’s because she says bananas in a high-pitched, girly, sing-songy-non-Jillian voice.  Everytime I hear it, I’m a fit of giggles in crescent pose. If you do the Yoga Meltdown, you know what I’m talking about. I just got a new yoga mat over the weekend and...

I can’t stop crying. This is seriously the happiest day of my life. As cheesy as that is. This time a year ago, I was crying because he was traded away and now ..My boyfrand is baaaaack Edit: I can’t even fathom what the 2011 season is going to be like. I can’t even. Four aces? Who else has that? That’s right… No one. I STILL CANT COMPREHEND THAT THIS IS...

Ouch :(
Last week, I went for a run without my ankle brace on because well, I forgot. And I didn’t even notice because it didn’t hurt! Pain free! I was ecstatic. The next two runs after that were ankle brace and pain free. I was obviously cured. And then tonight, after one mile… Twinge of pain. I ignored it. 1.5 miles… A little more hurt. So, I stopped after mile two. ...

Life needs to stop being so busy...
…so I can spend more time tumblr and all-kinds-a social network creepin’ and catching up on. Le sigh. I think I’ll be back to the normal Ashleigh after the new year. I love love love the holidays. Sooo much. But there’s also a part of me that gets really depressed and overwhelmed around this time of year :( I hate it. And it’s taking a toll on my health and...

shark week.
h8chu. All I want to do is sleep and eat and my head hurts and I feel like I weigh 800 lbs. Today was the re-start of me counting every friggin’ calorie I consume. Because, apparently last week’s “Ashleigh eats everything in sight” was not conducive to weightloss. Blah. (edit: whoever came up with the term shark week… I love you)

ESPNW?
I read about this the other day, but just went to the site for the first time. And, I don’t know why this irks me so much. Look, ESPN, I’ve managed just fine watching sports and reading about sports. I don’t need a seperate site with a pink background.

I didn’t want to run this morning. So, obviously I went anyways. I don’t know how fast or how far because I didn’t care about the numbers today. And now I’m putting lights on the short, fat Christmas tree that I got last night. Except about fifty lights in the middle of a long strand are out. I can’t figure out which one is the broken one :( Too lazy to figure...

ProgBlog.
So, I just made one. I don’t plan on sharing it until I hit 155 or the New Year/this blog’s one year anniversary on January 3rd. I’m thinking the latter. But, the first time I ever took barely-clothed pictures was at 170 (after a 20lb loss), biggest regret ever waiting that long. I took them again at 160 in October/November? And it’s only 10 lbs, but I see a pretty...
