Weekend recap

I was pretty bad at blogging last week, I hope this is not a sign of things to come when I get busy at work in the next two months. But I will try to keep up as we head into the busy season.

It was another slow one. Just how I like them.

I was a little concerned about Saturday. I was going back to Visible Changes to get a hair cut. The place where they basically gave me a mullet the last time. But I went with a recommendation for a stylist this time and he was fantastic. As he had better be for $60. Paying that much for a cut to me defeats the point of going to a place like Visible Changes - big chain in the mall - but I got a cut that I am happy with this time and I had a gift card that paid for half the cut. (Sorry, no picture.)

Sunday I went back to the mall to pick up a pair of jeans that Nordstrom was hemming for me. And of course because I didn't try them on, or even really look at them, when I got home I noticed that they never did the alteration! Awesome.I did get a little Christmas shopping done while I was out though, so bonus points there.

Finally, on Sunday did I make my lunch for the week. It's been a while since I've done that and I needed to get back into it. Don't get me wrong, I love buying my lunch every day. But my wallet on the other hand thinks it's not a great idea. So I made a recipe that I found on pinterest for creamy tomato mac n cheese. It was super easy to make, if a little messy, and tastes really good. Obviously I had to try it. I'm absolutely certain its not healthy for me though. Oh well, can't win them all. 


Sunday night however, I got some bad news. My Uncle's gf, J, is a wonderful woman. They have been together for so long that she is a part of our family. J's mom has been sick for some time now, and was under in-home hospice care until last night when she passed away. She was such a sweet lady, and funny too. I'll miss her at the big family dinners and I wish I could be there for J right now.

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.
