well our great friend jackie from jaclynphotography.com gave me the pictures she took at the big birthday celebration. there were too many to list here…so here are a few.
if you ever need a photographer i highly recomend jackie.
enjoy!
well i did it! actually i did it earlier last week…but nonetheless. as of today, i have ran a total of 514.01 miles! i am trying to think of a new year’s resolution i have actually kept…and i think this may be the first.
i have decided to keep it going and try to run 1,000 miles in 2008. i want to finish by december 31st…but i will give myself to january 7, 2009 since that was the official start date this year.
i will hit the 1,000 miles logged into my nike+ account this year…so that is exciting!
here is an email i received from my dad today:
Amanda,
Happy 30th 7-6-78 - 7-6-08 Yippie!!!!
Happy birthday! Have a great day and 30th year.
(Could this be the year of the grandchild?)
LOL
Love you a bunch!
Dad

i have been working hard this month. i just realized that i should have signed up to work the afternoon shift so i can run in the mornings. but nonetheless…
i was really trying to hit 500 this month. i know i shouldn’t be too discouraged because it was my resolution for the entire year…but i’m ocd. you knew that. i do have to say that june was the biggest run month. that’s exciting.
results::
in june i ran 115.11 miles with an average pace of 8′08″ mph.
grand total: 494.79 miles.
5.21 miles away!
so i noticed my blog was featured on the press page at gingerelizabeth.com.
sweet. just like the treats. man i love that place.
i now have a facebook page. adding friends is hard.
it is taking me forever to type in all those stupid codes.
today is day 11 in the south beach diet. i am 4.2 pounds down. it is frustrating when you don’t have too much to go…and those extra doughnuts just wont come off my rear. you know what i am saying?
they say you shouldn’t do phase 1 for more than 14 days. i say, “praise jesus!” i have gone 11 LONG days without fruit. you know how hard that is in the summer? next week i plan to hit up the farmer’s market for some fresh strawberries. i can not wait. besides peanut butter…it’s my favorite thing in the world.
like i have said, i dislike eggs. i dislike eggs badly. so every morning i blend all the ingredients together in my magic bullet:
2 tablespoons protein powder
1/2 cup fat free greek yogurt from trader joes
1/2 cup fat free organic skim milk
2 splenda packets
dash of cinnamon
this is what has got me through the mornings. notice there are no eggs. boo to eggs.
i also found this yummy low carb peanut butter cookie recipe. (i had jasen try them…and he ate more than me…if you can believe that. peanut butter and i are BFF.)
1 cup all natural peanut butter (i by it from whole foods in the milk and yogurt section…delish)
1 cup splenda (that is 24 packets)
1 egg
mix and bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes. i like to under bake so they are nice and soft.
today jasen and i went to panera and i was dying for a cinnamon crunch bagel. i passed and i am so proud. because i really wanted one…and i still do.
