wtf Houston

WTF is wrong with people? Seriously.

I left my apartment at like 9:30 last night to run to the store. And I made a right without paying attention. And got stuck at the train tracks. You never realize how many trains there are until you live next to tracks. So I pull up and wait. Bc you can't turn around, there's an island in the road and you're just stuck.

So I'm sitting there playing on my phone when my door opens?!?!? Some punk kid shoves a gun in my face, takes the phone right out of my hand and starts demanding stuff. I didn't have my purse on me, just my wallet. And it was like he didn't believe me. He pulled the slide (?) back on the gun, threatened me one more time and then took off.

That's when the shaking started. I got out of the car. Bc I'm an idiot. Then got back in and backed up the street and into my complex parking lot. There were two guys sitting out front who called the police for me bc by now I could barely speak. And then they let me use their phone to call home. I'm sure I scared my mom to death, she could barely understand me.

I didn't have to wait long for the police, they come real quick for armed robbery. I gave my statement and they said they were going to drive around looking for the guy.

I skyped with my family for a while as they tried to cancel my credit cards and everything for me. They were amazing. But of course I was supposed to be on a 6am flight to Chicago today. Now I'm sitting here waiting for the bank to open so I can get a temp debit card and trying to figure out what to do about a phone.

If you need me for the next few days, email and facebook are prob best option. Although being in Chicago I won't be tied to my computer like I usually am. And I don't have any credit cards to buy an ipad.

Seriously though. What did this kid actually get out of robbing me? I was driving a 10 year old Honda and he thought he would get a lot out of me? Nobody carries cash anymore. And within an hour I had canceled all my cards (that he hadn't used yet) and disabled my phone. He did get my brand new LV wallet. And I won't meet my deductible for this, so there's prob no replacing that. But come one. Is it really worth it?

    This is so crazy. I am glad that you are okay though. I can't even imagine how you are feeling. I will definitely say a prayer for safety, security and peace.

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...
