MY SUNSHINE IS COFFEE AND DANCING! Oh and actual sunshine!

THURSDAY UPDATES, INTERWEBBIES!!!

WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE
This morning I woke up (not hungover) started the coffee pot, made my lunch, and stripped down for my weekly weigh in..eek! The scale this week seriously surprised my ass. WITH A LOSS, PEOPLE!!! LOSS OF -0.9lbs! Hooraz! I’m working my way towards goal. I’m gonna just go ahead and thank the water. I’ve been drinking water very consciously and attempting to drink water before snacking. Sometimes you’re just dehydrated, yo.

Of course, this played in my head and I danced away in the shower! Weight loss, peeps!

ALSO LINK UP LURVE!
This lovely group does Weigh In Wednesday so I’m always a day late. Eh, little brown girl time 😉

WORKOUT SCHEDULE AS THE WEEK CONTINUES….
MONDAY – BAR METHOD – CHECK
TUESDAY – BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA – CHECK
WEDNESDAY – HUNGOVER BAR METHOD – CHECK
FRIDAY – 3 MILER
SATURDAY – 5.5 MILES

I’ll be down in the South Bay later tonight and through the weekend for funeral services for the familia. So I’m hoping to get a least one run in but I’m really gonna aim for both. I’ll be bringing all my workout gear home with me tonight. Trying to find the balance, it’s not always easy.

BRINGING LUNCH AKA HEALTHY CHOICES
I’ve been doing a really great job this week which is excellent since I’m officially broke. Between’s the boy’s fancy pants birthday dinner and buying LA plane tickets for next month, I’m only buying food and TP. No more dinners out. Just the basics! Kale, chicken, Trader Joe’s turkey meatballs, sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, apples, mushrooms, eggs, salsa. You’re not on that list – you gotta wait until March. Of course, coffee and milk. That goes without saying. I mean coffee is basically my blood. I’m blood type- Expresso positive.

Alright, let’s all go tackle some ish! Or just pour more coffee 😉
Besos,

I only play a professional blogger on tv, happy hour, and musica made for dancing in my MIND!

FRIDAY MEANS ONE THING – HAPPY HOUR!

I’m gonna get some happy hour on today with my prima! Super excited to have a much needed catch up session with her on all things life, engagement (hers), and suedo new job . I did bring my lunch today but might be making an exception of having lunch w/ a colleague that I don’t nearly get to kick it with enough these days. My goal is to keep it healthy because happy hour is gonna be the splurge. Send me accountability prayers!

WEEKEND WORKOUT

This week I hit my workouts like a champion but it really helped having MLK day off. Four day weeks making my life lovely. Anyways, the weekend workouts are looking like this:

Saturday – 9:45am bar method class & 4:00pm 4 mile run

Sunday – 9:00am 3 mile walk with my chica

If I follow the above plan I will have worked out 6 times this week! Whoa, that’s like Jillian Michaels status! CRAZY!

HERE’S SOME FRIDAY LINK UP LURVE – these lovely ladies do update posts but my update was yesterday so sorry you’re stuck with this, Interwebs.

UGH… I am ready for it to be 5pm. I need to pull myself up and actually be a productive worker bee today. Sadly, I am still in a MAJOR MAJOR job rut and really uncertain about my future here. That is not an excuse however to fail and I kinda feel like I’m failing at my job. But I’m really not very happy here, kids. I havent’ been for some time. I applied for one thing and have yet to hear back. I have two other possible positions I could apply for but haven’t researched or started updating my cover letter. The good thing is that I’m focusing on my health and that’s making me really happy. I’m full on in love with Bar Method and very excited about the Brooklyn Half. I’ve been rockin’ my fitness pal and updating my food and water regularly which is so helpful on that front. I’m trying to create changes in areas of my life that I can and I feel positive about that. Sadly, work still brings me down and sometimes creeps into that. I’ve never really wanted to leave higher education (in the last 6 or so years) but for the first time I’m thinking about it.

Alright, it’s Friday. There’s no room for Debbie Downers. I’ve got a happy hour to look forward too and my first half marathon training run on Saturday. You know what cheers up this lbg…C’mon I post muscia ALL THE TIME. This Friday is no different and it’s just gotta be Pharrell. Yep, REPEAT! My bad, but not really b/c  “IT’S MY JAM!”

I’m running to the dance floor in my mind!

Friday Besitos,
