Instagram Catchup

I alluded to it yesterday but this week has (word) been all over the place for me.  I thought I would just share life in a series of instagram and whatever photos.  Whoops, if you have already seem them… but now you get some narration too which is far more interesting.  Pictures tell 1000 words, but they don’t tell the 1000 going through my mind.

Let’s dive in.

Last Saturday was the Campus wide big White Out Hockey Game.  (You wear white and cheer on the hockey team). I went with some coworkers..keep in my mind I’m 22 going on 90 and look like I’m 12.  So I was able to easily blend in and get a free student ticket. This photo proves it.  We lost the hockey game (something that doesn’t happen very often…apparently since they were runner up for D3 hockey in the nation last year).

I’ve been partaking in the #holidayaday challenge with my #coffeeadays.  I think it is a nice mix up and somewhat challenging to have actual coffee themes ya heard?

This has been my favorite thus far

I have been chasing deer during my runs screaming just take instagram photos for me babycakes.  (not joking)

Gingerbread pancakes were a hit.  I made them for friends this week too.

Wrote my first big girl check.  Oh. My. Stars.

Oh and I got a new pair of racing flats since mine got a giant hole in them last race.  Love me some nike racers.

Oh and today was the last day of my internship.  Now I’ve got to pack and stuff.  Believe me you’ll see plenty oh instagram photos when I do that because well…I’m terrible at cleaning and packing.

This weekend I’m doing a 5k race down in Binghamton, NY and just packing.  Maybe going out to eat with some friends.   I am planning to get a deep tissue massage (wahoo good bye 80 dollars) to offset any injuries that might be festering waiting to attack…ie die cyst.

Questions for you:

  1. 1.       What have you been up to this week?
  2. 2.       What are you up too this weekend?  Racing?

Friday Catchup

Thanks for everyone and their support with PMB yesterday.  I hope more and more people enjoying showcasing their brags and what makes them awesome.  Anyways continuing on.  Today, I’ll just catch you up on my life this week I guess, mostly from instagram because that is the easiest to remember what I did.

This week has gone by so slow, first and foremost.  Seriously I thought with the election the week would have popped but that was not the case.  Thank goodness we didn’t get all that snow like a lot of the north east. 

The highlight of my week was on Tuesday, I had dinner with Katelyn down in Syracuse at a local bar and boy was it good.

 

Hands down that was one of the best salads I’ve had in a very long time.  It was nice being able to catch up with her too because we are both soooo busy. 

I saw some deer randomly on a run that was enjoyable…

I have to say that I’ve been feeling really down in the dumps and very UNMOTIVATED lately. 

snow. Boo.

Seriously, I don’t even know what to make of it.  I think this change will be very good for me.  As you guys know, I’m not a fan of the cold, snow or any part of it (why am I in upstate again…oh right I love my job) but it’s very hard for me to be motivated to go out and enjoy myself when it’s freezing…plus I’ve been stuck in the same rut between workouts.  My day goes: wakeup, eat, run, work, lift, eat, sleep.  Everyday or some variation of that.  So it will be nice to get a change.

But at least Lakeside always has some gorgeous sun sets (at 4:30pm)

Questions for you: 

What have you been up to this week?   

Do you like change?

My Life Through Instragrammed Coffee and Sunsets

What have I been doing this week? 

Your guess is as good as mine.  Sometimes I really think my life consists of wake up, eat, work, gym, eat, sleep….or something like that.  I find that instagram allows me to look back at my week and find the most important things, though most of it is #coffeeaday and sunsets.   Some glamor shots of course….

Friday instagram day I guess. 

#coffeeaday winner goes to Thursdays coffee.  Gas station coffee with about 6 inches of whip cream.  It’s cool, I know I’m the ephiphany of a health blogger when I post photos of 300 calorie coffees.

Views:

On one side I have this view…

The famous Powerplant towers. Such a lovely view from my room…

Other points of interest:

My arthritis medicine makes my skin bruise very easily.  No I’m not doing anything dangerous, this is from foam rolling.  I can’t apply any pressure without getting a bruise.  I’m also not anemic that is just a side effect of the medicine…fun right?

None of this is painful…just weird…

I did an hour session of 100% full body resistance the other day…it kicked my butt (literally).

Also regarding yesterday’s protected post, I will not be giving out the password.  Thank you for understanding but it was a point for me to personally vent that I do not need the world to see.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get to work and then relax this weekend.  I think I’m going on an unnecessary shopping spree for no reason.

Question for you:

  1. 1.       What did you do this week?
  2. 2.       What are you doing this weekend?

WIAW: Instagrammed

I always feel like it’s somewhat cheating or boring because if you follow me on instagram, I normally post these shots and so it’s like you are seeing the same thing..over and over again…but alas I don’t think anyone is really that concerned with it. 

With that I will dump some of instagram eats on you blog readers and commentary (per usual).  

 

When I go out to eat I get omelettes…because I can’t make them.  (stuffed with crab and mozerella…topped with mushrooms and feta cheese)

I like raw fish (Sashimi).

Giant 1.1 pound steaks…Recovery food of champions.

Protein smoothies have tickled my fancy lately

and no day is complete without my love for coffee.

 

Question for you: What have you been eating and loving lately?
