three or four things thursday

what better way to ease back into blogging...

first things first... i'm almost 4 weeks clean! [clean eating + lifting] thank goodness i finally got my butt back in gear. i'm training with fitness poynters again [if you wanna see the results of last time i worked with them, you can check out this post] and i'm very excited about getting back on track in this area of my life. i've learned A LOT about myself and my body since i last worked with fitness poynters, so i'm really hoping i can stick with it past the weight loss portion and nail the maintenance this time!


the next picture segues into point number two...

doing ab work in my new living proof tank top! [i'm a brand ambassador for them, you should really check out their super cute shirts!] they're great looking and super comfortable. here's one of her newest designs:

and last third thing...
this year was the first year in three that i haven't done the firecracker 10k on the 4th of July. it was weird. but for some reason, running in the muggy, hot weather did not sound fun to me. but you know i wasn't going to let the day go by without wearing my awesome new pro compression USA socks... so i put those bad boys on and wore them to the gym!

i got a lot of compliments on them [and a couple of weird looks but who gives a crap]. they actually felt really good during my workout and helped protect my shins during dead lifts.

and speaking of PRO COMPRESSION that brings me to point four...

they're having a great sale this month:

you can get 40% of ALL merchandise at procompresion.com, including their brand new neon calf sleeves and team PC gear [like hats and running visors].

simply enter the coupon code JULY at checkout. you'll save 40% and get free US shipping!

*expires august 4th**

they're the best compression socks i've ever worn [i've zensah and cep], they're made in the US, and they're just good people. they support so many bloggers with giveaways, sponsorships, etc. they're definitely a company that i truly enjoy supporting.

three things thursday

There is a bag of fun size Snickers somewhere in our house and I'm wanting one REALLY bad. Why don't I just go get one? Well, because Brad's asleep. What does that have to do with anything? He's the one who hid the bag (at my instruction). Why, why, why do I do these things to myself? He's been given strict instructions that I can only have one a day max and if I don't ask he's not to mention it. Such a good husband. But something tells me he might be a little pissed if I wake him up to get me a candy bar.

I'm covered in poison ivy. Thank you Spartan Race. I'm so allergic to this stuff it's not even funny but luckily my MD called me in some prednisone. Which of course is also why I'm wide awake.

I'm so excited to hopefully meet up with several bloggy friends this weekend!

what are you up to this weekend?
are you allergic to poison ivy?
have you ever met any fellow bloggers in real life?
