Feeling my way

"Feeling my way through the darkness, guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end, but I know where it starts
They tell me I'm too young to understand, they say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes, Well that's fine by me"



I was reading A Day in the Life of a Hockey Wife the other day and found myself nodding in agreement when she spoke of why she hasn't been blogging lately.

Now, clearly, I am not a hockey wife. But once upon a time I thought I might end up one (and it was during that time that I found this blog). But that's another story. And one that I've never shared with this blog.

And it got me started thinking about what I don't share with this blog. I share a good deal, some of it extremely personal, but most of it not. To an extent, I know who reads my blog. Family, friends, people I work with. I've always been a very private person. But living so far away from home I started this blog so everyone would know what was going on in my life.

But mostly I post the sunshine and rainbows part of my life. With the exception of my two, yes two, robberies. I don't talk about my relationships, or lack thereof at the moment. Only once in a while will I write about what's going on at work. I have all these unpublished posts that, to me, are far too personal to share with the world. Because you never know who's reading.


But I do love to blog. I feel bad if I go several days without writing a post. Maybe one day I will talk about everything, completely lose my censor, but let's start small first. 

My life is slow out here. Super busy at work at the moment, but that's all that's going on my life right now. That is to say, I have no life outside of work. Because when you're a grown adult and you move to a new city, let's face it, it's not that easy to make friends.

In Indy it was easy. First it was the interns, then the other people in the office who moved into town for work and finally meeting people at Ann Taylor bc I had to have a second job. Stamford was less easy, it took a little longer, but it was a cute city and oh, so close to NYC. In Houston there are only 10 other people in the office. And they all have family, roots, friends here already. With the exception of the ED, everyone is from Texas.


But right now, right at this moment, I want to be alone. I like being alone. But. That doesn't mean that I'm not lonely.

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...
