Into the Weekend

 At this point  it seems as though Thursday and Friday were a blur as it was busy with work.  

Me walking on Thursday with 12,246 steps

Also on Thursday I realized my nail salon was open so I was able to get a pedicure for the first time since February.  #firstworldproblems  They we’re doing all services outside so I felt much more comfortable going   

Me walking on Friday with 12,029 steps. 

Also my salon was open again so I was able to get in an appointment.

The heat wave started in the Bay Area today.  I didn’t head out for my walk until after 12 so it was already 90 degrees.  Needless to say it was a sloooowww walk.  But at least I have almost 14k steps today.  

My love and I went to see Gary Owen(s) in comedy concert today.  (The s is silent lol) The comedy club converted the parking lot into a comedy club with socially distanced seats, masks and sanitized headphones.   We did a double date with some friends.  Gary was funny (as always) and we had a great time.   This was my first public event since March and it felt good to be out safely.  

I’m so tired but it’s been a good day.

Happy Birthday Month to meeee!

A Struggle Day

 So yesterday I must have hit it too hard because today was a struggle.  I was so tired I slept in (until 6:30) and didn’t make it out for my morning walk.  I did get finally get out later and hit over 10k steps for the day.  

As for work, it was also a struggle because I was tired.  I get like I had a good burst of productivity in the afternoon then it evaporated like steam.  The good thing is I did get a few critical items taken care of and my presentation (which I almost forgot about) went well. 

On a lighter note, for today’s daily inspirational quote, I shared one of my favorites with the team:

Tonight’s dinner was seared salmon, green beans and potatoes.  Delish!

Also the website for the 30 Day transformation program was back up so I could start my onboarding.  But it wouldn’t record my onboarding video so I’ll do it in the morning. Since I look sooo tired at the end of this day anyways. (See below :) )

Right now it’s shower, pjs and bedtime for me. 

Happy Birthday Month to Meeee!

Level Up

 Hey hey hey it’s that time of year again.  

Yep 

I have been killing the steps this summer.  When my eyes are higher is usually when I take several walks a day.  I first went out before 6am and got a quick mile.  I went out again after 6:30 and got another mile.

Sidebar...  In that first mile, I decided to practice running for 1 minute at a time.   I know I have to do it for at least 30 seconds for the 30 day transformation program I’m starting soon so I wanted to see if I’d struggle through.   It’s not my favorite but I can do it if it’s not overkill.

After I finished my 7am meeting I went back out to do another 2 miles.  

My replacement Fitbit should arrive by Friday  in the meantime I’m using the Fitbit app on my phone to track my walks   What I’m missing is all the other steps throughout the day.

My August step goal was 100 miles.  My stretch goal was 150 miles and my super stretch goal was 200 miles   I finished the month with 170   So for September goal is 175 and my stretch goal is 200 miles.  But since I won’t have my Fitbit till Friday should I tamper it back? Hmmm...   

Let’s get it!

Photos from my bday month kickoff photo shoot :)

My theme for this September is Level Up with Ciara’s song as soundtrack.  It is what I’m moving towards both physically and emotionally  

The Word for the month is Restoration Joel 2:23-27.  For those years that seem wasted because of (perceived) lack of progress and reduction of resources, God will restore.  

Happy Birthday Month to Meeeee!
