Great hike with my class in an urban environment today! Embassy row to Dupont Circle!
Post #bodypump seated shiatsu massage. My friends has these two massagers at their place and we tried them out a few weeks ago. I used a $100 amazon gift card I had to buy them both. Best decision ever. I’ve been using the seated massage cushion for like 30 min a day on heated shiatsu massage, its such a treat.

I was going to do a face to face Friday, but I couldn’t resist a whole side shot once I put these two next to one another.
I’ll take age 35 over age 23 any day! I was so clueless when it came to nutrition, health, exercise, etc. I’ve made it a point to learn about these areas and also share what I’ve learned with others!



Timehop reminded me that I put my race bibs up in my old temporary office 2 years ago today. It was a great conversation starter and it filled that giant board.
Here are two other places I’ve previously housed my bibs over the years. Currently they are in a stack in my office, I need to figure out what to do with them – either hang around the top of my office like in the 2nd pic or maybe finally retire them to an album. I have written the date and my time on the back of each bib.
My new kicks FINALLY arrived. Who knew it would take an act of Congress for my running store @runpacers to track down a pair of @hokaoneone Arahi 2 in women’s 11. I literally told the store send me any color I don’t care – which is the usual case especially when stores only generally have 1 pair of women’s 11s. This color combo isn’t bad although I’m not really a purple person.

I already feel better and more in control this week now that I’m eating back on my @weightwatchers plan and tracking with a goal of 5 blue dot days a week. I have been very successful with these tools and I can’t let blips (AKA LIFE) throw me off course.
I’m happy that my latest summer plateau has at least kept me hovering in the high 170s, but I’m eager to see the low 170s like I did briefly in July.

Lunch break: walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes in this dreary weather.



Meal prep and getting back fully on the @weightwatchers wagon was the last step in getting myself fully back to my pre-summer routine (which is new and improved in its own regard).
From fitness, to writing, to budgeting, and beyond food is a big piece of the puzzle for me and I’m glad to have it falling back into place!
Free write from today’s “Measuring Monday” work for me day: part deux!
Week 2 of Urban Hiking. Lovely little 4.75 miler!
