Here's what: August 8

This week has been...annoying. It's very distracting waiting to here from the insurance company. Anywho...here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week.

The Everygirl does some amazing features. First there was the one from the SF Marathon. She was pretty cool...but they just did that feature in May or June maybe and the girl already left there for a new job. Anyway. My new girl crush is this girl, Self's Social Media Editor. Makes me realize a few things about myself. Like my personal social media presence isn't strong enough right now.

You're shocked. I know. I am obsessed with what is going on with my insurance claim. I submitted all of my documentation late Monday afternoon. I am now obsessively checking my claim status online, but so far nothing has changed. Do they have questions? Have they even looked at it yet? When will I hear something? I am not the most patient person. This is driving me crazy.

The IAAF World Championships start on Saturday in Moscow. Nine days of track and field. Although I'm not sure how I am going to watch it all as there will only be limited coverage on NBC. Most of the meet will be shown on Universal Sports, a channel only available on a few cable providers. And even though I used to work for them, I can't watch on the live feed on their website bc you have to login through said cable provider. Major fail. I'll be looking for bootleg feeds.

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...

Fabulous Run
