Fun Facts!

It's been a while since I've posted, namely because I didn't have anything terribly exciting to post about. So I thought I would do some fun facts and a quick re-cap of the past two weeks!

Fun Facts

1) I never use the first page in a notebook. Ever. I always leave it blank.I'm not sure when or why it started but this has been going on since high school.

2) I currently have packets of soy sauce in my purse. Again, not sure why. I think I was over ambitious in how much soy I needed for my sushi one day?

3) My favorite food it oatmeal. There is a tie between beets and peanut butter for second place.

4) I don't like air conditioning that much. I find that most places abuse its powers. Just because its 90 degrees outside doesn't mean it needs to be 60 degrees inside. That's not comfortable.

5) I am on a serious John Mayer kick right now. I can't get enough.

6) I also can't get enough of Quest bars. I may or may not have had two today.

7) I almost always drink my coffee with a granola bar. I just find them so satisfying together. It's a bit of a bad habit though because now I don't like to have one without the other.

8) I don't like movies. I find it hard to sit still and pay attention to one thing for that long!

9) I always read the information books/binders in hotel rooms. I find them pretty interesting and I like to see what the hotel offers.

10) I also read every single one of Delta's in flight magazines. I think its a quality magazine.

The past two weeks have literally flown by. Between work, bachelorette parties, baby showers and back to work, the days fly! I'm happy to have a busy social calendar to have fun things to look forward to, but I often need a weekend from my weekend!

As busy as I am, it makes it tough to stay on track with fitness and nutrition. I am still following Jamie Eason's LiveFit workout plan. It is really hard mentally to not be doing cardio. I may write another post on this soon. But the getting over the idea that I am not burning lots of calories is tough. I like to feel sweaty and exhausted after a workout and lifting doesn't give that to me. But after reading this and this article about cardio, I realize that I need to reset my body if I really want to make a commitment to building more muscle, which has so many benefit. So, I am going to give it a shot and really stick with the program and step away from long cardio for a while. I am still going to train for my Charles Street 12 miles, but keep the cardio as minimal as possible: "growth and comfort do not coexist" so I need to step outside of my comfort zone and challenge my body in different ways!
