Breaks

This may have been my longest break yet. I've had so little, and at the same time, so much going on and I just haven't wanted to share any of it. Most of it is...blah. 


Things with my family are...quiet. I'm not calling them every day so we don't talk much. A lot has been left unsaid lately.

Things in Houston are also quiet. I run, I cook, I go to yoga, I occasionally go out. Work is starting to get busy. It's finally starting to cool off. 

There's a big storm moving through right now. Hurricane Patricia is on the west coast of the state and that's bringing 12-15 inches of rain to the city. Normally I love a good storm. Laying in bed, listening to the rain and watching a movie. But not this. It's been raining for over 12 hours now and I'm a little stir crazy. I can't sleep. And also. I don't know. Something about storms like this. Roads are closed, there's flooding. I just don't like it. I'd rather not be alone. But here I am. 

So what else has been going on? Not too much...but...

I went to Galveston for the day


went to two Veuve events.


Went to a Texans game



Tried to find a Halloween costume for Lola 


Went to Chicago for the marathon 

Launched the new website

And downloaded the new emojis...some of my favorites 

And I head to New York this week for the marathon.

15 days

As of yesterday, it has been 15 business days since I submitted my paperwork to State Farm for all of the things that were stolen from my apartment. They have never reached out to me, but I have called them three times. First, with questions before I submitted my paperwork (this was when they told me they had 15 days to accept or reject my claim but that it "never takes that long"), then to see if they needed my new address since I was moving soon and finally last week to get an update on my claim status (this was when they told me they were just waiting on the police report which they had requested on August 16 and it only takes 3 or 4 days). Maybe they put a note in your file every time you call and make you wait that much longer before they finish your claim.  I just want to replace what was taken from me. According to Texas law, there are deadlines for insurance companies to act after you’ve filed a claim. They must accept or reject my claim within 15 days after m

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

The I can't believe it's been about seven months since the last time I posted a blog. Did you even notice I was gone? So much has happened in the time that I have been gone. I'm not sure I would be able to get the whole story out or even know where to start. The 2017 #HouMarathon, the twin's last chemo and radiation treatments, me accepting a new position with Susan G. Komen Houston, Aunt Sandy practically in remission, I lost Lola, I got Jewels, my second trip to Denver, my little sister's wedding...the list goes on and on. It's been a very rocky eight months. Personally, professionally, any way you want to look at. But I'm moving into a great place in my life right now and that's all I can ask for.  I was devastated just over a month ago when I lost Lola. She was having trouble breathing one night and by lunch the next day the vet had told me there was nothing they could do. Tumor in her left atrium. I  had to let her go that afternoon. 

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.
