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.

15 days

As of yesterday, it has been 15 business days since I submitted my paperwork to State Farm for all of the things that were stolen from my apartment. They have never reached out to me, but I have called them three times. First, with questions before I submitted my paperwork (this was when they told me they had 15 days to accept or reject my claim but that it "never takes that long"), then to see if they needed my new address since I was moving soon and finally last week to get an update on my claim status (this was when they told me they were just waiting on the police report which they had requested on August 16 and it only takes 3 or 4 days). Maybe they put a note in your file every time you call and make you wait that much longer before they finish your claim.  I just want to replace what was taken from me. According to Texas law, there are deadlines for insurance companies to act after you’ve filed a claim. They must accept or reject my claim within 15 days after m

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

The I can't believe it's been about seven months since the last time I posted a blog. Did you even notice I was gone? So much has happened in the time that I have been gone. I'm not sure I would be able to get the whole story out or even know where to start. The 2017 #HouMarathon, the twin's last chemo and radiation treatments, me accepting a new position with Susan G. Komen Houston, Aunt Sandy practically in remission, I lost Lola, I got Jewels, my second trip to Denver, my little sister's wedding...the list goes on and on. It's been a very rocky eight months. Personally, professionally, any way you want to look at. But I'm moving into a great place in my life right now and that's all I can ask for.  I was devastated just over a month ago when I lost Lola. She was having trouble breathing one night and by lunch the next day the vet had told me there was nothing they could do. Tumor in her left atrium. I  had to let her go that afternoon. 

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.
