30 Miles In 30 Days

Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of May? This month just flew by, and I have nothing to show for it.

May's challenge was much more difficult for me than April's. I'm not sure why. I didn't go to yoga nearly as much, and I struggled to get my miles. I just wasn't into it, for some reason or another.

Here's a little recap of my month.

Post 1: 3 Miles

Post 2: 9.5 Miles

Post 3: 11.5 Miles

This Week: 13.5

Total for May: 37.5

I'll definitely be doing this challenge again in June. Thanks to Nikki for hosting!

I'm Not Done With It

Men are so funny. Here's little sneak peek into my how funny mine is...

Kris: "Oh man, we don't have anything to drink."

Jessica: "I think your Dr. Pepper is in the fridge."

Kris: "It's empty."

Jessica: "Then why is it in the fridge?"

Kris: "I'm not done with it yet."

You're not done with an empty Dr. Pepper bottle? My bad.

My interpretation? He drank almost all of it and left a drop or 2 in the bottle. Instead of walking to the recycle bin, he put it back in the refrigerator. I guess it was too much to walk 10 steps. Or maybe he really is saving those 2 drops of Dr. Pepper for when he really needs them. The mystery continues...

Gotta love him, though!

Style Statement Tuesday

Welcome to Style Statement Tuesday!

If you're new here, Style Statement Tuesday is way for me to chronicle my outfits and discuss how/if they fit my style statement, which I've defined as 'Classic Pretty.' It's also a place for you to link-up  your outfit posts and inspirations. To read more about Style Statement Tuesday, click here.

This week, I'm showing  you an outfit I wore while piddling around town with my husband. (Southern Side Note: Piddling means doing nothing of importance.) It's super casual and perfect for summer.

Dress & Belt: Old Navy; Cardigan: J.Crew Factory; Shoes: TOMS

There is not really a lot to say about this look. It's a classic t-shirt dress, cinched with a belt, topped with a jersey cardigan. I could've added accessories, but I just didn't feel they were necessary for what I was doing. PS- Ignore my blindingly white legs. They haven't seen much of the sun.

Have you noticed that my outfits are always very casual. I promise I do dress nicely. Maybe it's the summer or maybe I should change my style statement from 'Classic Pretty' to 'Pretty Casual'?

How cute is Bourke looking at my shoes? So, tell me. What are you wearing this summer?

Before Someone Gets Hurt

I've gotten quite a few new readers as of late, and before we commit to a long-term relationship, there are a few things you should know about me.

I do not have the kind of skin or hair that looks Victoria's Secret model fab when I roll out of bed. If you want to do something with me or hang out, you're going to have to give me a heads up. Girlfriend needs some time.

I watch a lot of TV. If you hear me say, "I can't. I have plans," there is a good chance those "plans" are to sit on my couch and watch TV. For that, I will never apologize.

I'm a wine snob. I believe boxes should be filled with gifts, not wine.

I'm not too good for Target.

I am not a foodie. As much as I love wine, I don't eat fancy, elaborate meals on the reg. I'm more of a cereal and sandwich kind of girl.

I'm very excitable. My husband calls it dramatic; I call it full of life. Most of my sentences begin with "Oh my god, guess what?!"

I might die of diet coke poisoning one day. Be sure to tell the medical examiner to check for that.

I treat my dogs like humans. To be honest, they're cooler than most people I know. Including me.

So, there you have it. I just thought I should be upfront about who I am. If you can't handle it; it's best we end things now before someone gets hurt.

High Five For Friday!

Friday always reminds me God loves me. Don't get me wrong, other things remind me, too, but Friday is a little end-of-the-week gift from the heavens.

I had tons of pictures to show you this week, but they are all on my phone. And I left my phone in my car this morning. And the thought of walking all the way outside to get it is more than I handle. So we'll just have to make do today.

1. I got a new haircut last week. It wasn't much of a change, but I was kind of freaked out about it. I've gotten use to it now, and actually really like it.

2. J.Crew Factory is having a 50% sale this weekend (in stores only). I plan on partaking, you should, too.

3. It's supposed to be sunny this weekend. I'll be by the pool on Sunday. In case you're looking, you know where to find me.

4. My team won first place in trivia last night. We're now in first place in our league. I know it's nerdy, but I love that dang team!

5. Saw my husband last night for the first time since Monday . He's been working late, and I've been asleep when he has gotten home every night. I missed him!

As always, I'm linking up with Lauren. What are you doing this weekend? Be sure to have some fun & some champagne!

30 Miles In 30 Days

This week was a little bit of a challenge for me. Not really miles wise, but food wise.

We visited our families this weekend, which of course, included eating. Duh, we're southern. I had a work lunch on Monday, and Kris had a work dinner on Monday. It was tough to always make healthy choices. The eternal dilemma is wanting to eat the bad, but knowing I should eat the good. I'm hoping to be in a place where I no longer want to eat the bad. We'll see how that goes! I do feel, however, I'm back on track. Fingers crossed to staying that way.

Another thing I slacked on was yoga. Last night was my first class in over a week. :(

Here's how I've done since my last update...

Thursday: 3 miles

Friday: 2 miles

Monday: 2 miles

Tuesday: 2 miles

Wednesday: 2.5 miles + 60 minutes of yoga

Miles this week: 11.5 miles, all walking

Miles to go: 6 miles

Days to go: 8 days

How did you do? What struggles have you run across this week in your quest for health and well-being? Check out Nikki's blog to learn more about the 30 Miles in 30 Days challenge and consider linking up for June!

Today's look is an attempt at the orange + pink trend. 

Top: Banana Republic Factory; Jeans: Old Navy; Clutch: Gap; Shoes: Sam Edelman; Bangle: J.Crew

This top is a classic silhouette and has pretty details like the ties. The clutch has such a vibrant color that I would wear it with everything if I could!

After looking at these pictures, I don't really love this outfit, although I felt good in it. I think the bright orange top just really isn't my style and is better left for football games. Go Vols!
