Rain. Run. Plexus. // Weekend Recap LinkUp #2

Happy Monday!
How was your weekend? I was mostly sleeping, watching "Sister Wives", and working out. Since it was a really rainy weekend in southern Arkansas, I've mostly had to work out at home. But: Friday I went to the Union County Fair to do another 2 mile run, seeing if I can beat my previous PR (which was 21:06). 

And: I did it!!

I've started trying something else to move beyond this weight-loss plateau, besides workouts and eating wisely! Since one of my friends started working as a Plexus Ambassador, I've got the opportunity to test the "Plexus Slim & Boost" for 2 weeks. I started Saturday. After taking the first "Boost", I was a little worried, cause I could feel my heart-rate going up and me being a little shaky. It went back to normal after about 10 minutes though.

The "Plexus Slim" tastes way too sweet, for my taste! I added almost twice the suggested amount of water, and it was still almost unbearably sweet. This morning I was drinking it as a "shot", with just a sip of water. Of course it was super sweet, but since it was just one gulp, I was ok. 

Since I'm only on my second day, there is not much I can say so far. But today I have realized that I wasn't hungry. ALL DAY! I just realized I didn't eat anything besides a little bit of watermelon this morning, until Michael came home from work and I started making dinner. Crazy... I don't know if this is a good thing though? I will definitely start setting reminders on my phone now, so I won't forget to eat. 

I just hope Plexus will help me loosing some weight. As you can probably see, I've added a "Weightloss & Workouts" page to my blog. You can look up my latest tracked workouts, and my follow me reaching my goal from "My Fitness Pal". If you want to, you can follow my weight-loss journey on there! Just click here and send me a friend request! Weigh-ins will be on Saturdays, so you won't see anything on there until this coming Saturday. I hope the hard work pays off and the little runner pointer will move towards my goal... 

Did you try Plexus? Successful? Not?
Feedback truly appreciated!

I ran a 5k showing my middle finger & Things non-runners say

   

   

Hello there!

I just finished a 5k run in my old hometown in Germany! I finished in 35 mins, which is my 2nd best time ever :)

The weather was bad... It was raining like crazy, and cold (around 60F). I felt great throughout the run though. Except the last 50 yards before the finish line. But I made it!

I was so freaking thirsty after I finished,

Why, oh, why? // PR gone wrong

My fellow bloggers might know that issue: I get tons of e-mails with the weirdest content. 95% of the time the stuff companies offer me, don't fit my life(style) at all. So I chose not to accept it. No, no giveaway on my blog for random stuff. My readers are special, and that's how the products offered on here should be. The company should fit me, and me and my personality should fit the company. Easy!
Anyways....
Last night I got an e-mail to my blog account. It wasn't an offer for a collaboration or anything. It was just a random e-mail telling me about a $50 gift card, "JUST" for me. Ummmm, ok. Not, I guess. 
Everything was fine until the moment I opened that e-mail and saw the pictures and stuff:

Scott. Disick. WTF? Do I look like someone needing something that is being presented by/hosted by/kissed butt by Scott Disick? Ummmm HECK NO! And I really don't understand how a company can pick this dude as a face of the brand? 
For me, this is a serious case of PR gone wrong. Like an overweight personal trainer trying to sell me some diet stuff. Not happening.
What's your favorite no-go when it comes to advertising and PR? Any examples?
