Here's what: November 21

I know, I know. I'm still slacking on my blog posts. At least I am aware of the problem. I'm working on it. Anywho...here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week...


I got to see The Hunger Games: Catching Fire last night, which was awesome since the movie isn't even out yet. K had some sort of connection from UT, a Big Brothers Big Sisters program was doing a fundraiser by showing the movie at a Studio Movie Grill. The movie was amazing, but you know it's always different from the book and they did leave some things out that I thought were pretty important. But, since none of you have seen it yet, I won't talk about that. Just tell you that I still thought it was really well done and probably was better than the first movie.


Apparently there are 33 days until Christmas. But that's ok. Because I think I've got at least half of my shopping done. And I already bought my flight home. For $10 (+40,000 miles). Seriously considering getting a credit card that gives me miles since I'm running out and it would also get me a free checked bag and priority boarding. Anyways, I heart Christmas time and can't wait til it's time to go home and visit the fam.


I've been eating so much junk lately that I think it might be time to jump back on the bandwagon. My Fit Foods is not the best tasting healthy food I've ever had, but most of their options are pretty good. And I think all the bad food is starting to get to me. I've been having random stomach pains in the mornings and evenings and when I eat too much, I think I just need to clean out my system. And this pre-made healthy food seems like a better option than some sort of juice cleanse or fast-type detox.

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 ...

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...

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...
