Weekend recap

I love long weekends and this one was no exception. Even if I didn't go anywhere. I had been thinking about a road trip to New Orleans, but that idea came crashing down when I found out I had to have the catalytic converter in my Honda replaced. In case you were wondering, those aren't cheap. So I scratched the trip and dropped my car off this morning. Now, back to my weekend.

Saturday I got up and went to Zumba and had my @ss kicked. The teacher just never let up, it was pretty intense. After a nap at the pool (aren't you jealous?), I had an appointment at Nordstrom's. Bobbi Brown was having an event and I love any excuse to have someone do my makeup. Now, I didn't have to buy anything but the girl kept talking up the bronzer brush she was using. So I thought I could use a new brush and told her I would get that. When she rang it up it was $52! Plus tax. I will be returning that soon. Later that night, I went out with E and her friend E for sushi and then drinks. It was a great time, but infort no pics of my cute makeup.


Sunday and Monday were relaxing. And boring. I hung out at the pool for a while on Sunday, got some shopping done and then had myself a Burn Notice marathon bc somehow I missed the entire last season and the new and final season is starting soon. Monday I went and saw Fast and Furious 6. By myself. Love this franchise. Thought this movie was pretty good. And with most of it set in London I, of course, started thinking about wanting to move there again. :)

It was also Memorial Day.

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...

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f...
