A Few Running Minutes

A few weeks ago I stated that I don't know how brides work up until the day or two before their wedding and still get everything done. While I think the knowledge that I would have a lot of time leading up to the big day gave me a lot of comfort in those last few weeks of school when I had no time at all, I now think that I just have way too much time and working would've been better.

I got to tutoring today and the mom thanked me like 20 times for coming when I have my wedding in a few days. I don't think she realized how excited I was to talk to people who are not wedding vendors and think about something else. There is just some actual importance in teaching a child to read as opposed to, "so which way do you want me to fold the napkins?" oh, just let me consult my napkin folding dictionary.

Is it just me or does it take a lot longer to do things when you have more time? It's like when you know you don't have time you are just more efficient or something?

In cool wedding news. Want to see my ridiculously awesome cake topper? If you are coming to my wedding and want to be surprised, don't scroll down haha

Yup, thats you. Stop reading.

This is funny since I have no idea how this spacing will really work in this post.

It's also funny for anyone who looks at pictures before reading like I sometimes do.

Haha, oh forget it you are going to see the cake topper NOW...

Yes that is my blog on the computer haha. My only regret is that I didn't somehow incorporate kindergarten into this cake topper at all, but oh well, it's me sans work :) Awesome, right?

So, Kelly, do you still actually work out?

That's you guys talking to me. I can't even remember the last time I mentioned exercise on my "healthy living" aka wedding complaint blog. So let's start now.

I have still be working out though. For most of June I was alternating between 2 days a week of yoga and either power walking or elliptical time. One notable change of routine was when my friend Ash and I biked 15 miles on the day of my bachelorette (before the rain kicked in!). The past week or so I've actually gotten back into some...wait for it...running!

For those of you who missed it, I've been nursing a persistent knee injury for over a year now that acted up as soon as I ran for even a couple of minutes. I am trying to move back into it extremely slowly for obvious reasons so I haven't run more than 8 minutes (alternated with walking), but so far the knee pain is pretty limited...so yay :) Maybe you'll see me doing another road race or triathlon at the very end of the summer? Just maybe...

I also still eat healthy :) Promise! I find that exercise and eating healthy are #1 for stress relief! Tonight I bought some salmon at the farmer's market and a summer squash. Put it together with leftover mashed potatoes for a stomach stabilizing dinner...

Yum. Now I just need some ice cream...

Anyone have an anti-rain dance I can do for Saturday? I know I said I wasn't going to look at the weather but since it says it's going to rain I figured I can look at it since clearly getting my hopes up is not an issue haha.
