I'm Back and Ready to Run...

Happy Tuesday!!! So I do realize it has truly been a long time since I have written in this blog and I sincerely apologize but life decided to step it into high gear. So many exciting changes and a few sad moments and many many adventures.  In this blog I hope to catch you up with my life and start off tomorrow with a new fantastic chocolaty fun recipe. 

So quick recap....Planned my first large event in Malibu (which is in the running for a Guinness Book World Record), skipped a few levels and was promoted to Event Manager at my company (ps if you didn't guess i am an event planner), successfully help plan a 30,000 event extravaganza in Irvine, went white water rafting with some awesome friends,  reached my savings goal 6 months early, am buying a BAD ASS TV (huge), and the most exciting for me is my honey and I are looking for a puppy together.  Now to the average eye this may not seem like a lot of changes but trust me the promotion has been pushing my limits and really giving me a run for my money. It is an exciting change but also a tid bit scary the hours have been intense but very very very worth it. But now I have a couple weeks of pure relaxation. Well, maybe not pure but at least i get to run the pace of a normal person for a little while.

So for those of you who know me, i love to set goal and i love to take moments to readjust and boy do i need to readjust to life right now.  I have a confession.  Since i got the promotion I've been eating fast food  EKKKKKKK!!!  My body feels horrible i have no energy and boy do i miss being creative in the kitchen.  So my goal is to get back into shape and kick this fast food habit and go back to my cooking roots. My plan is to change up my exercises and to switch between weight training and cardio. I also plan to create and cook up some new healthy recipes to help the fat burning process.  I am really excited and slightly already sore just thinking about the next 5 weeks but it will be worth it especially since i will get to show off all my hard work on the beaches in Hawaii. Aloha...beach babes!!

Eating Habits: Take out, fast food, grilled cheeses, and over sized portions twice a day


Goal
Weight: 7 pounds lighter
