Catching up. Again

I have been a pretty bad blogger this year. Thirty-one posts and we are nearing the end of November.

Sometimes my heart just wasn't in it, sometimes I was just busy and sometimes I didn't have anything to say. But I don't want to give up on my little blog just yet. I know there are at least a few people out there who like to read what I write, so I'll try and keep at it.

57 days from race day and things are getting pretty busy over here. But this year I'm trying to keep up with running, yoga and cooking while still getting all my work done. And. Now I have Lola to play with. I had all the intentions of working last night once I realized I didn't have any plans. But after dinner when I was on the couch, she crawled onto my lap and I couldn't/wouldn't make her move. We just hung out for a few hours catching up on my dvr.

Scrolling through my pics from the last few weeks, how could I forget to post about the day that turned into a Friends episode...I bought a new couch. A super great deal. I found it on a closed facebook group that sells all kinds of random things. It's a Restoration Hardware chesterfield-style couch and I got it for less than 10% of full retail. Go me. But. For my first piece of real furniture, it's super heavy. And it totally felt like that episode of Friends where they get stuck in a stairwell with Ross' couch and he's yelling PIVOT at everyone. It took four of use to get this sucker into my place. And I will definitely be using professional movers when I leave.

And then last weekend, I woke up early to go for a run before yoga and when I stepped out of bed the pain in my heel was so strong that my knees buckled. Never felt anything like it before. I tried to walk it off when I took Lola for a walk, but no luck. So I didn't run, but I did go to yoga twice that day. Went for a four miler on Sunday and it hurt for the first 2.5 miles. Took Monday and Tuesday off and then ran 3 on Wednesday before yoga and it felt good. Ran four last night and I could barely feel it. Which is good bc I'm entered in a 10 mile race this weekend. Not that I'm racing. Just using it as an assisted long run. But still. All those people.

Anywho. That's all I've got for now. But I will try to keep up with the writing more regularly.

Basil pesto yogurt sauce. Yum.


Before all the shenanigans began trying to get this thing up the steps.

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. Moving fo...

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 ...
