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.

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...
