Here's what: May 2

Today is my Friday! Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week...
You know me, I rarely have weekend plans. And that was true of this weekend. Until Tuesday. That is when I got an email from my friend G's boss. I had told her back when I volunteered at the Indoor Championships that I would probably be available to help with Outdoors. So Tuesday I got a mass email from her thanking me for volunteering and telling me to be at the track one hour before the events I was working each day. Umm. What? It's no problem because I didn't have plans anyway, but she's very lucky I was already off on Friday. Oh and the track? It's 30 miles away and it's a three day meet. Awesome.
If you've been paying attention lately, you know I've been eating way too much mexican food. I just can not help myself. Chuy's is less than a mile away from my apartment. And it is so dang good. I had it three times last week! If you don't eat there already, you should. And if you come out to visit me, we should go there.

A twofer. I need these books. They are currently sitting in my amazon cart, I just have not pulled the trigger yet. I vaguely remember hearing about them last week, but then saw them when I was in Anthropologie the other day - where, of course, they cost almost twice as much as they do on amazon. They do have the U.S. one available broken down into northwest, southeast, etc. But come on. I want the whole thing.

Here's what: August 15

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... If you haven't seen this photo of Usain Bolt winning the men's 100m at the IAAF World Championships, you might be living under a rock. There are five sessions, and some pretty good events, left to go at Worlds. And Team USA is currently sitting atop the medal table with a total of 10 medals - 4 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze. So...I joined a local running club. And I signed up for the marathon training program! Not that I'm signed up for an actual marathon or anything. This particular training group is training for my race, so I can't exactly run that. There are weekly track sessions and long runs are on Saturdays. The program lasts for 22 weeks. Well but we've already missed two weeks bc of other commitments. E and I will be doing this together. We'll see how this goes.  Towards the end of September is something called Social Media Week. It is a leading media platform and worldwide event ...

Are these really the same shoes?

I was so excited to order the pink nike pegasus sneakers that I was swooning over last week. After everything that happened, it was my way of cheering my self up. Then they came in the mail. Now don't get me wrong, I still love them, but I don't love them as much. In person, they are much darker than the picture would have you believe. They are even darker than the picture I took. Must be something about this pink, it always looks brighter in the photo. They look so similar in these pictures. But in person. It's almost a different shoe. Oh well. At least they were on sale. In unrelated news...I called the insurance company on the premise of telling them I was moving but really just wanting an update on my claim. Well the really nice man at State Farm took my banking info so that I wouldn't miss the check, it would just be direct deposited. And he forwarded my claim to someone else to make sure they get started working on. Fingers crossed maybe they will get it d...

New Goals - Lean

So I finally went back for my follow up body fat test last Tuesday. I didn't really know what to expect. I knew I had lost some weight and I could see more muscle definition, but I wasn't sure. I told myself I would be happy with anything under 30% since I was 33.8 the last time I went. So of course in the lead up to the test I had like 5 cheat meals. Insert eye roll here. Saturday was margaritas and Mexican for dinner. Sunday was brunch and champagne and pizza. And then Monday was more Mexican bc of Sunday. Whoops. Clearly I had to run Tuesday morning before the test. hahahaha Then at lunch time I headed over to visit Heather. The got a new machine that's so supposed to be even more accurate than the BodPod and you don't even have to strip down lol. So my new results were: Weight - 147.6 Body Fat - 27.8 So I lost 6.3 pounds and 6% body fat. Total time elapsed between tests was 16 weeks. This places me in the moderately lean category for women. Moving fo...
