Here's what: May 29

It's been a whole week since I posted my last blog. I never mean for that to happen...I've just been busy with work and then very unmotivated in my personal life. Have gotten a lot of good workouts in between then and now though, so that's good. Anywho...here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week.


I made this for dinner last night. I didn't have the lime juice it called for, or the pita bead but it was still pretty good. I even used the sriracha sauce and I am not a huge fan of spicy. If I remember to stop at the store for another avocado on my way home tonight, I will be having this for dinner again bc I have one chicken breast left.

Would need to actually purchase this

I need shoes to go with this

Cute shirt with jeans?

I'm going to a friends birthday dinner tomorrow night and I don't know what to wear. Stay somewhat casual or wear a cute dress? Maybe I'll go shopping at lunch...


I don't have any big races coming up, but I am running the Heights 5K next weekend. My training so far has been all over the place. I usually have pretty decent runs on Saturdays, but then I'll try to do speed work or something similar on Wednesdays and it doesn't go that well. I know, I know...I shouldn't do a hard workout the day after RowStrong, my body needs time to recover.  Last Saturday I ran an easy 5k at 8:30 pace, yesterday I struggled to run a 5k at 8:45 pace. Should be an interesting race.

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...

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...
