#250KChallenge 2017 - Week 4

Week 1 & 2
Week 3

And now for Week 4. Monday. After the Mt. Diablo hike of almost 5 miles and partying in heels that evening, I didn't do much leg work. I thought I needed to switch it up with some Bodyrock HIIT videos at home because I didn't make any progress last week. In fact, my scale said I gained weight. Not good. The evening was a lot of whisky drinking for my holiday party but MBT and I had snacks at Honor Bar in Emeryville, CA beforehand and I opted for the broccolini. Veggies!



The next day was brutal with going to be bed at 3 AM and having to be at work by 11 AM for a private event. Not remembering that I was there so early, I worked an 11-hour day and I just wanted to go to sleep. No work out on Tuesday.

Wednesday and Thursday was another no gym day but more work out at home. In the evening, was one cocktail with some other lady bloggers and two beers at The Beer Hall for a Meetup. Yeah, I know. My diet sucks.

SnapChat: bappletree. Had that sports bra since high school. Adidas.

My drink is the one on the far right but here are some DW cocktails. Wearing Stella & Dot of course.

Friday, I did hit the gym with abs, back, a little tris, shoulders and an hour of cardio. I was going to blog while on the stationary bike but the Fitbit Workweek Challenge was happening and I was slacking.

Saturday was the day to stay home. I woke feeling a bit congested and tired. I slept in and decided to get up. After all, I'm headed to Kauai in three weeks. I need to get a work out in. So I did, at home, while The Man in the High Castle was playing. Abs were sore from yesterday so I didn't do as much, did a little back, butt and arms. I haven't had a drop of alcohol today. I actually have to think about whether or not the statement of saying that would be two days in a row would be true or not. It was also a day to not spend any money as a goal. I made my easy breakfast of a whole grain English muffin with reduced fat crunch peanut butter. Dinner was brown rice, scrambled eggs and Teriyaki Spam. I know, the sodium. I think I am really excited for Hawaii.

SnapChat: bappletree. Sports bra by Victoria's Secret.
Sunday was weigh-in day and I finally made a little progress. I think mixing in HIIT at home is doing some good. I came in third in the FitBit Workweek Challenge but it's OK. I'll take the numbers moving over bragging rights. I was also watching the Amazon Prime show Z: The Beginning of Everything with Christina Ricci during this workout, just like yesterday. I need to keep up with eating well today. We'll see how that goes.

To Week 5! And three weeks exactly until Hawaii!

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
