Happy Halloween!

This is going to be a short one tonight because Hocus Pocus is on! I didn’t indulge in candy or dress up this year.  I realize this makes me extremely lame haha.  But I am indulging in my love for Halloween by watching one of the classic holiday movies!

Anyone else love Hocus Pocus?

Today, I had to brace to cold temperatures and early morning frozen roads to head onto campus to work, work out and go to class. I have started walking to campus more often which may be silly considering the drop in temperature, but hopefully it will also lead to a drop in my weight! 

I finished reading the New Rules of Lifting for Women, and I also continued the workouts in the book.  Today was Stage 1 Workout A for the second time, and I upped my weights on the lifts.  I am feeling pretty sore, but I don’t hate it! (Fez anyone?… I love That 70s Show.  You may not notice the reference if you haven’t seen every episode 2734 times like I have).  So far, I am loving the concepts in the book.  I would try to add some of the recipes into my life but I don’t really like a lot of them based on ingredients.  Once again, Picky Nikki at her finest.

I am also continuing to nurse my sore hip.  I am not sure if it is soreness or pain, but I am nursing it nonetheless!  Instead of running, I ellipticaled for 40 minutes. Still a good workout! Hoping the pain goes away ASAP!

Well, I can’t imagine a better way to end the month than with a Halloween movie and the following picture:

Thanks to my wonderful professor for that one!  

Enjoy your Halloween! Be ready for some goal updating tomorrow!

How did you spend your Halloween?
