Bye bye bye

The twin's visit has come to an end. Right about now she should be on her way to the airport for her flight home.

We didn't get to spend too much time together, but the time the we did was good. Monday I went over to her hotel after work and we met some of her coworkers down at the hotel bar for a drink. And then Tuesday I went over to see the showroom floor of their convention before they had a private concert in the GRB with Little Big Town.

I have zero pictures from our time together which is unfortunate and in all of the pics she took Friday night my eyes are just about closed. Apparently I look high most of the time now when we go out at night. I blame my contacts.

Now that she's gone and I don't really have anything going on...I really need to start cooking again. I haven't cooked a real meal in quite some time. This - Risotto with Fresh Mozzarella, Grape Tomatoes, and Basil - is what I want to make. It's one of my favorite dishes and I don't think I've had it since I lived in CT.

I also need to go shopping. I think in the past six or eight weeks, I've gone out more in that short time than I have in the rest of the time that I've lived here. And I just don't have enough clothes for that. Don't get me wrong, my closet is ridiculously full of work clothes and running clothes, some casual things and a few dressy things, but nothing that I really want to wear out on a Friday night.Maybe I will go at lunch.


My workout today is supposed to be a mile warm-up, 3x1200m with 400m recovery, mile cool down. I really hope it's not raining bc that would be miserable. My goal is 9/min pace so the 1200's should be around 6:45. Normally I can do track work at 8/min pace so that should be ok for my first workout back.

Is it 4:00pm yet?

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...
