#StillInIt 2017 - Week 3

-
Week 3's goal was to lift more. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at a resting heart rate. I feel like I met that goal because I was so sore come Thursday and after a big leg day on Saturday. I felt I ate decently with oatmeal and fruit in the morning, a light dinner, salad majority of the time and I haven't had a drop of alcohol this week. It has been over two weeks since I have alcohol. For snacks, I am in love with Lenny & Larry's Birthday Cake cookies. When I am craving something sweet, I have a piece.

For some reason I gained .8 of a pound and my body fat increased by 4%. Why that is? I don't know. I thought I was on track to making progress, not taking a slight step backward. Any one have ideas?

Here's a recap of the week:

When you continue to wake up at 4:30 AM to hit the gym, you get ready and accidentally wear two different socks. Oops. Yes, it's a new fashion trend, Nelly.

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

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
