I don’t always number these, so that’s my best guess. Sometimes I come up with more clever titles, but that’s so not the case today. Anyway, we all know what Thursday is for – Thinking Out Loud with the beautiful Amanda!
1. I have a confession. I didn’t pick ANY of the dresses I showed you all on Monday, though I think I’m renting #5 for the Blend Cocktail Party. This is the one I chose:
I wanted this one in the first place, but it wasn’t available on the date I needed it. THEN, magically it was. Thank you, birthday gods. Since I’m not super happy with my body right now (shocker) I think that the empire waist will make me feel much more confident. Plus SO SPARKLY. The only part I’m a little worried about is the cleavage with my “girls” but a lot of the reviews said they just pinned it. We shall see! Ya’ll likey?
2. I’m 90% sure I’m going to become an Advocare Distributor. I think I’m going to continue using the products (I really need to kill my multiple Diet Dr. Pepper a day habit… and Spark is kind of awesome) and I want to do another 24DC in between my birthday and Blend. Next week I’ll have a whole post on my thoughts on my weight and Blend… definitely a hard post to write. Anyway, Becks did an amazing sales pitch 
so that is probably going to happen.
3. It’s good I like my Physical Therapist and everyone that works in their office, because it looks like I’ll be playing with them for another 4 weeks. 4. WEEKS.! Ugh.
Sadface. Sadface. Sadface.
In those 4 weeks, I promise to get a totally ridiculous picture of me doing one of the crazy exercises. PROMISE.
4. I’m going to start a consistent swimming schedule (3 days a week) and also start to incorporate some arm workouts and ab workouts as well. Gots to work on my fitness!
5. Being in PT for 4 more weeks puts me in only 2 weeks between my PT graduation, and my next 10K. Cue the panic.
6. I am SO SO SO SO excited for my birthday. The closer it gets, the more excited I get. Yes, I am 5.
7. I just read one of the best books ever: Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh. You all need to get this book, and also read her blog. I mean seriously. This is some of the stuff you get to see:

“I played vengefully for the rest of the afternoon. All of my toys died horrible deaths at least once. But I never lost sight of my goal. My mom finally came to get me. She handed me a dress and told me to put it on because we were leaving for the party soon. I put the dress on backwards just to make her life slightly more difficult.” – The God of Cake
That was probably my favorite story in the whole book, but the whole thing was widely entertaining and made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt. Definitely recommend it!
8. I have lots of other books I want to read (a never ending problem) and no time to do so. I’m going away this weekend for work, so between working, and working on homework, I’m hoping to get some book time in tooooo.
What are you thinking out loud about today, pallies?
