Weekend recap

Let me start off by saying...I love three day weekends. There should definitely be more of those.

It was, for the most part, relaxing. And hot.

Friday I sat out by the pool. In a bathing suit. Parts of me that hadn't seen the sun in six months got a little more color that I would have liked. And boy was it hot. I lasted about 2.5 hours before I had to get out of the heat.And when I went to check my mail, my new book had arrived! I think it's time for a road trip.
 
On Saturday, I finally joined a gym! I went over to the LA Fitness around the corner to take a tour. I had a plan. I wanted to get a cheaper membership than they were offering. But those things never work out for me. It's not a bad deal, but I do think it's weird that it costs more than my old membership in CT. While there, I found out K had just finished a workout (she belongs here too). She came back in to see me and we ended up going across the street for breakfast. I was too hungry to workout. Oops.

Later that afternoon, I went to my first-ever crawfish boil. I had a great time, but I ate way too much. I have got to stop doing this. Honestly. I think I ate 4 pounds of crawfish. Not good. I woke up Sunday morning with a crawfish hangover. Oof.
 
 

Sunday morning I got up early (for me) and worked out. Go me. Mainly because I had an 11:00am meeting with someone about a photo shoot I'm planning for work. The meeting was great, especially since it included brunch at the Buffalo Grill. The rest of the day was spent being lazy and helping E get some healthy grocery shopping done at Whole Foods. I just don't have a huge desire to do anything when it's that hot out.

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 ...

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...

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...
