Thursday's Random Thoughts and a measurement update...

I'm in a bit of a random-ness mood.  My mind has been jumbled all week.  You'd think my first week off of school I'd be all relaxed.  Well not really.  I have lots of things that need to be done before I start back in a few weeks.

I went mountain biking on Sunday with the boys.  I wrecked trying to jump a tree root.  Obviously the tree root won.  My left leg is all bruised and a little scraped up, but that's cool 'cause I think bruises are sexy, especially (only) if you get them doing cool shit like jumping tree roots.

It has rained every day since Sunday.  Well except today.  Oscar and I finally went out for a run this morning, I think we both needed it.  I am not afraid of the rain, BUT when it's raining sideways and lightning out, I'll stay in.  I was a little sore from the wreck, so it was nice to get all the junk out.

How in the hell did I miss that this week was Nurses Week?!?!  I mean seriously!  I've been a nurse for 11 years and this is the first year I forgot!!  Well kinda.  I did forget, but was reminded, so I made sure I called my mom and told her Happy Nurses Day.  Yeah, 'cause she's cool and a nurse just like me!  (I can say that because I was a nurse before she was!!  Ha, ha mom!  I love you!)

I saw this on someone's FB, and I stole it!

I've been cleaning out closets and getting rid of junk.  And organizing.  An OCD-ers paradise!

Tonight is J's final orchestra concert of the year.  I can't wait.  I seriously love it.  He's kinda glad it's the last one, but he is going to be in the orchestra again next year.  I think that's pretty awesome.

I went to Target today and bought these....

Umm, yeah.  Perfection in a cookie container.

Just when I thought Oreos were already perfect, they went and did this.  It IS my birthday month and all, so I HAD to buy some!!

J wanted his bathroom redone.  I've been trying to get him to change it for a while, but he never saw anything he liked.  Until Sunday.  So Tuesday I went back to Target and bought the stuff to redo it.  I think it looks all grown up.  He picked each item out himself.  Where did my baby boy go???

Before:

After:

Yes, that is a tag on the rug, and it is not longer there.

I'm already studying for my test that is on the first day I go back.  How awesome is that?  A test the first day back from break.  Nursing school is weird.

So about those measurements...

Yeah, they sucked.  I did them on the 7th, and I was not happy.  Of course I really shouldn't be surprised since my training numbers went down, but my running went up.  Guess that's what I get for going on vacation and being busy and too lazy to fit a workout in.  Oh well.  I've already biked more miles this month than last month, and it's only the 9th, so I'm gonna be fine.  But isn't it weird I ran more last month than in previous months and gained?  Hmmm....

Here it is, and it's ugly...

Thighs +1/2 inch
Hips   same
Waist  +1/2 inch
Arms  same  (thank goodness!!!)
Belly  +1.5 inches (yikes!  I was 'bloated' if you know what I mean...)
Weight  - .2  (Not sure how I lost a little...)

% body fat  -1.3%  (and I'm not sure how that happened either...)

So let me explain...

Okay, so there is no excuse really for the waist and belly...I mean I was bloated, but I didn't think it was that much.

The thighs did get bigger, but I don't think it's fat.  I'm not one to toot my own horn, but my legs are leaner now than they have ever been.  Maybe that's why my % body fat went down?  I dunno.  I do know it makes buying a new pair of khakis and shorts difficult...

So my numbers are weird.  I mean really.  I lost weight and  %, but gained in the middle.  How does that happen?  I don't have a clue.  I just hope next month is better...

So what do you think?  Do you think it's strange?
I know I do.  I'm sure it'll even itself out soon, but when a girl is a numbers freak, it's hard NOT to freak out!!!
