We're Moving!

Thanks for all the comments about the Moxie Shorts!

I love that this week is a short week. I have Friday off which means waking up late & enjoying a nice long weekend. We haven't planned anything for July 4th because the people we usually hang out with are out of town/moving...which brings me to some good news!

Since our friends are moving and their house haven't sold yet, we are moving into it while they're trying to sell it. The house is big and very nice. This will be the most space that we will have since we got married. It's going to be really different since we are used to a small, cramped space where we can hear anything and everything going on inside.

The house is close to Church which will be nice. We'll try not to be late :) ever again. No excuses now right? We currently live 20+ minutes away so we'll be saving gas. The house is also in a nice community, close to one of our favorite parks. I can now run to the park and back! I could also walk to Church too so I am considering doing that.

The house is also close to many of our other friends so we can hang out more often without spending too much on gas. On the other hand, my commute to work will be longer and Brandon's commute to school will be longer. But overall, I think it'll be awesome!

We should probably buy a house, but honestly, Brandon will be transferring after next spring to a university and who knows where he'll go! We have even been considering Hawaii! But we shall see. Fingers crossed though because that would be so cool.

I ran 3 miles yesterday and for a tiny second, I remembered why I love running. I ran 2 miles nonstop and the first mile felt so good. I can start to see my old runner self. This move will definitely up my run since we live close to the park!

Off to work.

Sugoi Moxie Short Review

Look at that bod!

In my Moxie shorts!

Another pose with my Shorts!

Another one

They make my legs look toner

When my friend at Outside PR told me that she was sending me the Sugoi Moxie Short to review, I was ecstatic! I have never heard of the shorts, but the name made me super excited! Anything "moxie" was going to be fun.

And when I came home to the package, it was everything I wanted, plus more. And I'm not just exaggerating. The color was awesome. The short also comes in Gunmetal (black) and Lichen (green). I want to get the green one too because I love the color. Something about lighter colors just makes me so happy!

The cut was perfect. The short has two front pockets and an inside key pocket. There's a mesh liner. Perfect since I am going to wear these for the Peachtree Road Race and don't want anyone to see the color of my panties!

I did my Super Summer Shape-Up Workout with the Moxie Short on and the shorts were comfortable and non-restrictive. They were indeed perfect. And need I mention, flattering?

I also took the short to the Pool, too. I felt so hot walking in my little Moxie Shorts.

Plus: great cut, great style, comfortable for working out in & hanging out too, great colors, mesh liner, inner key pocket

Minus: you can see the liner line, but not a big deal

Overall: I love love love this short! It's such a great fit and I feel so ME in these shorts! It's fun, fabulous and playful!

Check these shorts out!

Gotta Have some McChicken

Yesterday, Brandon met me at McDonalds & we had dinner there. I am loving their Dollar Menu. I had a McChicken sandwich and their side salad. I love the Southwest dressing. I am going to get me some! It tastes really good & also has a spicy aftertaste. I don't know how to describe it, but it is a must-have!

Afterwards, I went to our Church's Temple.

And then I squeezed in my Super Summer Shape-Up Plan. I was tired, but I really need to get some muscles on my body.

Tonight, we are getting some Thai food with another couple who will be moving down to Florida. They have been like parent figures to us and we will miss them so much. It will be great too because what a great excuse to go to Florida!

Have a great weekend! The plan for tomorrow is 6 miles! Please pray for me. I need it.

Bollywood Booty Review

I worked late last night and was not able to get my run in so I opted for this new video "Bollywood Booty." I was curious how good of a workout I could get.

After the 45 minutes, I was amazed. I really enjoyed the dances. The moves worked out my body, but in a fun way. There were some moves that I really liked because I could feel my booty working hard. I liked the music that was playing in the background.

Overall, great workout for one of those days that you want to feel sexy and just let it go. That's Fit also did a review so be sure to check out what she has to say!

I got up early in the AM to run my 4 miles. It was not easy, but I got through it! It feels great to run in the morning because the energy is there with me all day. One thing that I have been trying to do is going to sleep earlier since I like to stay up and sleep in later. Waking up early is a tougher adjustment. I just have to think about the benefits of getting up earlier to work out!

BTW, when do you have the most energy?

My time tends to be around 9pm, hence why I am having difficulty going to bed earlier!
