Current Reads I finished The Girl on the Train and oh my goodness it was amazing. I enjoyed it more than Gone Girl and it’s got that creepy, “what the hell is going on” vibe. I’ve got a few options for April and I need to get started on one. I just haven’t decided yet.
Current Obsession Is this always a food, or what? Ha! This month it’s Kind bars. Specifically the dark chocolate nuts & sea salt. It’s my favorite.
Current Song Flo Rida’s GDFR. It’s just so catchy and it’s going down for real….
Current Bane of My Existence Spring Break traffic. Go away Spring Breakers! (I am happy they bring my city revenue, but dang they drive like maniacs.)
Current Goal Burn fat. build muscle. I know, I know, I’m thin BUT, I would like to lean out a bit since I put on a few pounds during/after the ironman. Last night I got in the Bod Pod to see my body composition (body fat, lean mass, etc.). I was pretty close in what I guessed I’d have in these numbers so at least I wasn’t shocked. I fall in the “moderately lean” category, but a little bit on the higher end of it. I’d like to work on that, so the numbers I learned will help me get a more accurate count of what I should be eating calorically to keep muscle and lose fat.
Current Blessings The S.O., Redhead, my seester, my mom, my stepmom, and Lloyd.
Current Need More hours in the day. I’m not sure why my Spring has been so busy. I’m hoping for a slow down because I don’t love the glorification of busy. I like the glorification of my couch.
Current Triumph Hitting 100+ running miles in March. And it’s only going up from there.

Current Indulgence I’m having some new photos taken for the blog and doing an re-design. I don’t really want to monetize but I do want it to look purty. (And my pictures are so old!)

Current Excitement Planning for Grandma’s Marathon trip and a possible mini vacation for Memorial Day.
The Girl on the Train…. Oh my gosh was it good, as you know from my texts to you. You were the second person to recommend it to me! Great job on your March stats, 100 miles is ALOT. Also, your picture in the egg makes me think of Mork & Mindy for some reason. 🙂 Happy April!
Classic Space Capsule Photo…. Run Strong
Finishing an ironman changes your body physically like any other traumatic event. Hey the bod can't tell the difference between traumatic and celebratory. I gained 20 lbs in 2 weeks after my first and developed a gluten intolerance that never existed before. I think both have gone away now, but it was really strange for several months.
Good call on the bod pod. I need to do that too. Like you, I'm certainly not overweight but I'm not as lean as I want to be. I'm feeling the self body shaming plague too. We can do better! Even though we might not really need to.
I am about to start Girl on a Train and can't wait. So many people loved it!
Cant wait to see your redesign
GDFR is awesome!
Can't wait to see the blog redesign! Yin yoga is by far my favorite type of class 🙂 Nice work on 100+ running miles! YES to the bod pod! So futuristic, isn't it?! 😉 Hope your week is off to a great start!
