Weekend recap

It's March and that means Spring Schedule has started at the office, which means...I now have every other Friday off! And my first one was this past Friday. Love, love, love three day weekends. If I don't really have plans, sometimes it's best that way.

Friday started off great...slept in a bit, went to hot yoga then met up with a few girls for lunch at the Refinery, a burger place on the edge of downtown. They were super jealous of my beer since they couldn't drink, you know, had to go back to work and all. I honestly barely remember the rest of the day. I know I went to Whole Foods at some point and picked up some amazing fresh pasta to get ready for a 10 miler the next day...but that's all I got.


Saturday morning I met up with K and a friend for a long run. She's training for the Boston Marathon and was heading out for 18 miles! I have a half in two weeks and I've never run 18 before, so since she had another friend running the whole way I decided to run the first five with them before turning around. We ran at a decent pace for the first five and then once I turned around my goal was just to see how much faster I could get back in...ah, it's kinda hard to crank up the pace five miles in, but I did ok. After a nap on the couch I headed back to hot yoga as my legs were getting a little tight. Tho that was probably more from falling asleep with me feet on the coffee table. oops. And after that, well...not much happened. I had tickets to the Dynamo game, so it was my own fault that I didn't do anything Saturday night. But. Meh. I just wasn't feeling it. So I drank some wine, played on my phone and watched a bunch of movies.

The weather here has been all over the place over the last few weeks and Sunday it decided we needed rain. Lots of rain. So I stayed in bed and watched Law & Order reruns...until 1pm. Don't judge me. Ran a few errands, picked up filets from The Fresh Market (on sale of course) and cleaned my apartment for the first time in what seemed like forever. Finally watched the latest Hunger Games movie after dinner and then went to bed relatively early, by which I mean 1am.

Back to work on Monday...but Monday night we had tickets to the Rodeo. Really good tickets. First came dinner at the Cowboy Lounge, followed by actual rodeo competition at NRG Stadium (3 rows behind where they start the bull riding) and then chute seats...read in the dirt...for the Justin Moore concert. I had no idea who Justin Moore was, but he put on a good show.

That is a good looking lunch. Not pictured - the veggie burger.
Fridays off...mani-pedi time.
Carb-loading the night before a long run.

Yup, feels that way some times. Normal? I'm busy-ish all week and then the weekend rolls around and...ghost town.

Out.

And back.

Def needed hot yoga to unwind after that run.

Rainy Sunday.

The pup turned 6!

Filet and champagne sounds like a good Sunday night meal to me.

It's rodeo time in Houston.

I forgot how bad that can smell.

K was a little excited.

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...

Excess Fat Follow Up

When we last left off, I was four weeks into an eight week bikini challenge. Turns out there was a ninth week slim down at the end of that as well. I followed the diet and exercise more diligently for the remainder of the program. I wasn't seeing much more weight loss, but I could definitely see my muscles toning up. And I was still cheating on the regular. I have very little will power.  Halfway into that ninth week slim down, I became pretty sick. I didn't work out for over a week. I def didn't follow the meal plan. I was eating the minimum needed to make it through the day. I haven't been to yoga in almost a month. I've just now been able to start working out again. My eating is slowly getting back to normal, trying to figure out what doesn't make me feel bad.  I want to redo that ninth week and follow it to a tee just to see what can happen. And then go back to heather and get my body fat tested again. Right this second I think I'm down ab...
