Here's what: September 18

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week...

My little sister turned 30 yesterday. I can't believe it. I feel so old. She's currently living it up in Vegas for eight days! I know, I know...who goes to Vegas for eight days?

Meet Gordeaux. A friend of mine got a dog a few weeks ago. And I love him. I may steal him. Shhh. It's no secret that I have wanted a puppy forever. When they start making puppies that stay puppies and come fully trained, I'm in! It doesn't help that the two types of dogs I'm interested rarely show up at rescues and if I wanted to buy one they usually cost in excess of $1000. Of course I like the expensive dogs. Gordeaux is perfect though. He's not too big and he's four years old so he is already trained. And very chill. He'll sit next to me for hours and let me rub his belly while we watch tv. If anyone knows someone with a french bulldog, boston terrier or frenchie/boston mix let me know! I want one :) (yes mom, I know it's not a good idea.)

I need more/new candles in my new apartment. When I first moved in it smelled like cleaning supplies. Normal, I get that. After having people over for dinner on Tuesday, it smelled like the steak I had seared on my new grill pan. And now it smells like the hamburger I had for dinner last night. I love my food, but I don't need to still smell it 24 hours later. Ventilation at my place is a little iffy. So I really want to get a few more of my favorite candles from Anthropologie. They're strong, but not overpowering.

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...
