Weekend Update: Crazy Cray

This weekend came and went! I feel like I did a lot and nothing, all at the same time. Anyone else ever get that feeling? Here's the breakdown...

Friday: Worked late. Got my CSET subtest I results...I PASSED! Cried. Gym. Padres season tix info came in the mail. Was a little underwhelmed with the package so I kind of complained to our rep. Stalked my mug swap partner Bekah and found the perfect mug for her! Anxiously read (non)updates about the missing Malaysian Airlines plane. Sleep.

Saturday: 1st day of real training at the Safari Park! Lots of walking in the heat! Got home and took a longggg nap. Opened more Padres mail with some missing contents from first package. Sent apology letter to our rep, but told him I still had questions.  Studied for the CSET subtest II...to be taken 3/17! A week from today!  Couldn't sleep. Watched The Other Guys. Had half a bag of goldfish crackers as a midnight snack. Dozed off.

Sunday: Early wakeup thanks to Bettis and her 5am FB messages. Hahaha. Slept. Tutored Spanish. Tried to sweat at the gym. Ran 2.3 miles at the gym! More CSET subtest II studying. Cosmos. Bloggy blog. Sleep.

What's ahead? 

Monday: Work. Gym. Watch Ellen. Study. Sleep. 
Tuesday: Gym. Study. Finish my supplemental apps. Gym. Watch Ellen. Watch PLL. Sleep. 
Wednesday: Work. Gym. Watch Ellen. Study. Sleep. 
Thursday: Gym. Submit supplemental applications! Study. Gym. Watch Ellen. Sleep. 
Friday: Work. Gym. Watch Ellen. Study. Sleep.

I. Can't. Wait.

How was your weekend? Anything you're looking forward to in the near future?  

From A Crawl To A Step...Err, 10K Steps

Weigh In Wednesday! It’s been a while since I’ve done this! Life's been a bit crazy, but I'm still crawling in this weight loss thing. I'm down 22.7 lbs, and back in the gym for the first time in a long time. I’ve got this crazy surge of motivation and feel like I’m focusing more thanks to two different things...

The first is this #grinderglamchallenge on instagram. It’s one of those photo a day challenges that focuses on fitness and health instead of random stuff like coffee cups and flowers. I think having to check into this thing and posting daily reminds me of my goals and motivates me. Also, being able to click on the hashtag and see others working towards a similar goal, and their progress, and adding a like for some motivation is great! 

Today’s post was “in those jeans” and I posted a picture of me in leggings. I’m totally feeling like Regina George…  

The second thing motivating me is a FitBit. I was running errands last Friday night and stopped at my local Dicks Sporting Goods. On my way out I spotted the FitBit display case and it piqued my interest because I knew I had other friends who use it and love it! I read up on it a little, talked to people about it, and was convinced I needed to get one. I purchased the FitBit Flex Sunday night, and so far I’m liking it. It syncs with My Fitness Pal, you can see your friends progress and their steps, as well as obviously seeing my own step count, rate of activity throughout the day, and how I'm sleeping! I'm obsessing over the step count more than I should, last night I found myself pacing for 5 minutes before bed trying to get closer to 10K. I still had about 2K to get there so I called it a night. 

That’s about it for today. Anything you’re using as motivation lately to meet goals? Let me know! Happy Wednesday!
