Hodge Podge...

Hey Girls Hey!  This is going to be a Hodge Podge of information, so follow along and don't get your panties all twisted... and scroll all the way down for this week's Tuesday Truths - it's there!

Weekend Rewind - I went to Tulsa to meet up with some of my new favorite IRL friends, that also happen to blog!  I'm sure some most of you have already seen pictures on Holly and Aly's blogs, but I tried to pick some that they didn't post!

Headin' Out...these assholes didn't know how to use an ATM machine...

Group pic (minus Aly) before going to dinner!

This girl, Molly, is one of my new favorite people!  She is so fun, but needs to eat a few cookies!

Holly's Lemon Teeth... she may or may not have been pretty happy by this point!

Aly's impersonation of me...

and Molly's... I don't think I do these things?!

We found a girl that thought the "Leggings as Pants" idea was a good one...it wasn't!  Panty Lines!

And a cute, end of the night Bathroom Shot!  I love this one!

All in all the trip was great!  It was so nice to finally meet the people I called my "friends" in real life and they were everything I thought they would be!  I'm so excited for Blissdom to see them again!

 

Mean Muggin Monday is now in full effect!  Post your mean mugs on Instagram with the hashtag #meanmugginmonday (no g on the end of muggin).

 

The girls seem to think I mean mug all the time, but I keep telling them that's my normal look!  :-)  Yesterday I really was pissed because I forgot about an 8am meeting until my reminder went off at 7:45 and I was still at home getting dressed!  Oops!

 



My first #meanmugginmonday shot!

Pile On The Miles - Let's face it, I suck!  I didn't run at all last week.  Work is crazy busy and I really thought it'd be good to rest my hip.  So I'm still at 6.2 miles for the entire month!  That's so sad!  I'm still debating whether to run a 5K Thanksgiving morning or not, but I do have my next "official" run scheduled for Decemeber 1st in Wichita with Julie.  It's the Jingle Bell Run and it's a 4 miler - odd distance, but whatever! 

Bangs or No Bangs? That is the question... Molly seems to think I need to cut bangs (I think it's because she has bangs and wants a Bang Friend - not to be confused with a Friend to Bang)...  I posted this to my Home Girl last night and the concensus seems to be No Bangs.  Any good Bang supporters?

The 2 No Bang pictures are from the last couple months,
2 Bang pictures are from September 2008 after my wedding...

Tuesday Truths - I'm still feeling really good after my hormone injections last week!  And even better about the weight I've lost!  Down another 2.2 pounds this week (Thursday-Tuesday)!  What!? What!?

Starting Poundage - 179.4

Week 5 Poundage - 175.2

Total Poundage Lost - 4.2

Thanksgiving Linkup - Last, but not least!  I'm linking up with Holly for a Thanksgiving cheer!  Well, my video isn't really cheery, but hey it can't all be sunshine and flowers (or whatever that saying is)!

 

If you want to play along, hit the button below - that will take you to Holly's blog where you can get the deets!  You're welcome!

 

 

Until next time, Hookers!  Peace!

Tuesday Truths...

I know it's Thursday and I'm late, but whatever because this girl is EXCITED!  I don't have much time, but just wanted to throw this out here!

Starting Poundage - 179.4

Week 4 Poundage - 177.4

Total Poundage Lost - 2

What!? What!?  If you remember, last week's Poundage was 180.8 which means I actually lost 3.4 pounds this past week!  Go me!  Go me!

I have tons of thoughts on what's contributing to my weight loss this week, but no time to talk type so I'm going to leave you hanging for now!  But it may or may not have to do with Dr. S - who I have for now dubbed "My Miracle Man!"

How is everyone's week going?  I miss you all!  I haven't even had time to read blogs, let alone write one!  Insert SAD FACE...

Weekend Rewind...

Monday, Monday, Monday....  Oooooohhhhh.... Nope, that sucks!  Totally doesn't have the same ring to it that Friday does!

Work is batshit again this week, so let's make this a quickie!!

I can't remember for the life of me what we did Friday night...so I'm assuming a movie that wasn't very good!  :-)  Let's just skip ahead...

Saturday I had my second Turkey Trot 5K back home in C-Town (Chanute, KS).  I was meeting up with my girls Jayci and Chelse!  This was Chelse's first 5K and she rocked it!  She couldn't have made me (and Jayci) more proud!  Chelse set the pace and she didn't walk ONE step of the whole 3.1 miles!  She did awesome!

Fueling up on the way over! For some reason, people think this is a naughty picture!? Still haven't figured that one out... ;-)

Me, Chelse and Jayci Pre-Race

Post Race - Really wish I would have pulled my hair down...

After the race we went and had breakfast at the dirtiest, greasiest place in town - you know the kind of place I'm talking about!  Then I went and saw my bestie Jenny and then stopped by my friend Taryn's house to see her little baby girl!  Then it was back home to F-Town (Frontenac, KS) for vaccuming, laundry and a shower!  Then I got the call(s) and text - The Husband had shot (with a bow) a Big Buck!  It was already dark out and he was headed back to his parent's house to grab Jack and then head back out to track the deer (using like the blood or whatever).  Jack was SO excited!  Chris said he was outside waiting on the porch before he even got to the house!  He asked a million questions and told me his "Daddy got a Monster Buck!"  I love that little boy!

Jack and Daddy's Buck

The Husband and The Monster Buck...

Sunday was like every other Sunday - Girl's Day!  The Husband and Jack headed back over to Columbus to take The Monster Buck to the Taxidermist.  Yes, The Husband mounts every.single.buck he shoots.  I'm just thankful that they aren't in my living room anymore (they were at our old house) and all animal mounts are now donning the walls of his office! 

 

Norah had some lunch...

I cleaned and organized my closet - too bad half of this shit doesn't fit...

And Norah made messes.... all.day.long

 Lame weekend, huh?  I thought so...

However in the exciting news arena.... This girl is going to Tulsa for the Route 66 Marathon!  Hell no, I ain't running, but Mama L is running the half marathon and I am crashing Holly, Aly, and Keyona's party!  What!?  What!?  We have family pictures first thing Saturday monring, then I'm headed to T-Town - I was hoping to make it in time to see Mama speak, but I think that's at 1pm and there is no way I'll make it!  Sad face... But I'm super excited to go and meet some of these women I call my "friends"!!!

Anyone else going to be in Tulsa this weekend?!  Hit me up!!

I'm pretty much sucking ass so far in the POTM challenge.  The hip issue has really set me back, but I'm happy to report that it seems I've turned the corner to recovery!  The race Saturday started off a little rough, but my hip seemed to losen up once we got going!  I saw the Dr again this morning and he gave me the OK to run Tomorrow and Thursday and come back to see him on Friday to evaluate how the hip held up!  I don't have my next run until December 1st in Wichita - it's a 4 miler, but I really was hoping to get in on a Thanksgiving Day 5K Trail Run - so we shall see!  I've never done a trail run, I've heard they are much harder than a street race... Anyone have experience?

 

So again this week, I'm only logging the 3.1 miles from my 5K which brings my total to 6.2 - which sucks!  Like sucks bad, my goal is 50 miles... 

However, I have a plan!  If my hip seems to do well this week then I'm going to start next week with my 10K Training!  Whoop! Whoop!  I want to do this awesome 10K the end of January - it's called the Groundhog Run and it's in these "caves" but in the middle of Kansas City!  I have a friend that's done it a couple times and she says it's really fun!  I'm stoked!  And I'm trying to talk Julie (you know, my cool BFF) to do it with me!  Who else wants to join?!?

Alright, Hookstars!  That's all I got... I know I was kind of lame today...sorry!  This might be a bad week, but don't forget about me if I go MIA!  My Home Girl, Instagram will proably be the best way to stalk keep up with me this week!  Follow me @darci_spear

Friday, Friday, Friday...

Oooooohhhhhh!  You're welcome!

Readers, I'd like to introduce you to my Teeth... Teeth, Readers.  These sucka's need whitened something awful!  Agree?! Yes...No... 

 

 

Meet Brinkley!  This is one of Jack's girlfriends - he's a P.I.M.P!  Don't hate the playa, hate the game!

Anyway, Jack and Brinks had a dinner play date last night and I received the text at 8:03am - I think Brinks is having Jack withdrawals!  :-)

After 4 full days of not working out AT ALL!  I was itching to get my sweat on last night so I took to the stationary bike!  It's out in our garage and we have cable TV out in the garage so why not!?  I got a workout in and caught up on last week's J-Shore!  Win-Win...

The legs on the bike go round and round, round and round!

I was happy to find that my hip didn't hurt at all during or after the ride and this morning it feel pretty good!  So I'm confident that my 5K tomorrow will be as smooth as butta!

 

Jack got his exercise on by bike riding around my car in the garage and then pumping some weights until he passed out... Real men workout in Jeans...

 

Anyone tried this?  I just saw it on Facebook...

 

This is me, sitting in my car, in my work parking lot, procrastinating actually going in the building this morning...

It's Casual Friday, Friday, Friday...

 

Oooooooohhhhhhh! 

You're Welcome!

 

Big plans this weekend?  Does your office do Casual Fridays?  Wish my HIP luck tomorrow!  See ya on the flip side Monday!
