Weekend recap

I'm not even sure why I do weekend recaps anymore. I almost never do anything exciting and this weekend was no exception.



I finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and started and finished The Girl Who Played with Fire. I can't even remember if I did anything else on Friday which probably means I did nothing.

Saturday I wanted to get my errands out of the way before I started working. So I went for a run and did a quick workout before heading over to My Fit Foods to pick up a few meals. I did really well this weekend, food-wise. No soda, lots of water and no processed food. For the rest of the day I alternated between reading and working. And was quite productive.

Sunday was more of the same. I got up and ran and did the same workout again. Then I ran over to Gap and was more than a little disappointed with what I heard was supposed to be an amazing sale. But I did get three sweaters for a pretty good deal.

My next stop was AT&T. Oh AT&T. You are really getting on my nerves. It's been five or six weeks and I still haven't been able to replace my iPhone since it was stolen right out of my hand. Yes, I should have had insurance, but I didn't. Last week customer service told me that I should go into the store, but the new iPhone on a new line, put that line to sleep and put the new phone on my old line and this would only cost me an additional $9.99 a month. I was more than a little skeptical since no one had been able to offer me this deal before. But I went in anyway. The salesman listened to my story, checked my account and said well, yes you could add a line and the cost for that line would be $9.99/month, but you're whole plan would also have to change and your overall voice plan would go up $30/month. FAIL.

After a quick stop at Target, I spent the rest of the day working and reading again. So. much. fun. Oh well, at least it's a three-day week.

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 ...

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...

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...
