Lately 5.7.14


I feel like I haven't been around much lately, and clearly from the lack of posts my blog agrees with me. I haven't been crazy busy...but I have been busy actually having a life. Weird, right?

So what have I been doing lately?
  • Well, last Friday was one of my Friday's off and I spent over three hours by the pool. I love me some sun. 
  • Saturday was E's birthday. I picked her up early and we got blow outs, not at Drybar though, they were booked. Some other place called Blow Dry Bar. They did a good job, but the atmosphere is so much better at the other place. A quick trip to Nordstroms later and it was time to get ready for her bday dinner where my margarita was the size of my head.  Several bars and several shots later...I'd say it was a good night. I'm not going to say there wasn't any drama...bc with 16 people it's practically inevitable, but. It's over now. 
  • I love lazy Sunday mornings. Especially when they include brunch. And mimosas. And more time at the pool. And more mexican food and margaritas. And champagne. It was a lazy and fun but very long day.
  • Cinco de Mayo. I didn't actually plan to celebrate, it's like St Patty's Day in NYC here, but someone still wound up at a mexican restaurant after a trip to Ikea with S.
  • Whoa. E, K and I all signed up for this six week Row Challenge through Row Studios here in Houston. It just started and they suggest you take at least three classes a week for the six weeks. Well, our first class was last night. E and I chose the class called Row Strength. Now if you think any rowing is involved in this class, well, you'd be wrong. It was more like a crossfit workout. And when we were done I could barely lift my arms. Next class is Thursday where, hopefully, actual rowing will be involved.

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...
