Obsessed... and other stuff...

It's Jersday Thursday!

I was obsessed with Jersey Shore up until this season - it's a total flop!  I mean Snooki is knocked up and living in her own apartment, The Sitch is sober, and Dena has a BF, totally lame!  They should have left well enough alone and just not came back for a "final" season. 

First up, I've been obsessed with counting calories this week.  I made a goal to lose 20 pounds before my 30th Birthday and Norah's 1st Birthday - both of which are the last week of January - totally doable, right?  It will be if I can get my mouth under control!  I'm using the Lose It! app on my iPhone.  I've used it off and on for awhile, but I'm really logging anything and everything and I'm also entering my weight daily.  I used to think weighing daily was an Obession in itself, but I've discovered it's way to easy for me to gain 5 pounds in a week if I'm not watching it daily so it is what it is!  If you are looking for a calorie counting app I would really check Lose It! out!

Instagram has decided to take over my life here as of late!  I can't get enough!  And the primary reason is motivation!  A group of the ladies I follow are all the blogs I follow as well so it's like an impromptu motivational tool!  Like when I see them post a picture of working out, or a healthy meal or just their skinny asses in general - it drives me to do the same! Love it!  Come find me @darci_spear - I promise not to bore you with only food and working out, I will throw in my cute kids here and there as well!  And they are KEY-UTE!

The last item I've been obsessed with lately is Pinterest, but more specifically stalking ideas and themes for Norah's first birthday party - which of course isn't scheduled until February 2nd (yes, it's already scheduled)!  I'm a planner, sue me!  I was thinking of copying Holly's Ginerbread Girl Theme for Olive, but I was also really stuck on Winter ONEderland - then a friend of mine had a GENIUS idea, why not do the ONEderland but incorporate gingerbread people?  I literally smacked myself in the effn' forehead - why didn't I think of that!  This is where the Pinterest stalking started...so now I'm torn between a more girly/pretty/icy theme and a brighter/cute/fun theme.  Oy vey!  Somebody help me b/c the Gypsy Husband sure won't!

Now for a few non-obsessed items!

I signed up for "Pile On The Miles" over at Run Eat Repeat because Mel at 4KOTTEZ did and she inspires me!  She just ran her first half marathon a couple weeks back so go check her out and give her some congratulations love, will ya?  Pile On The Miles is a walk/run challenge through the month of November and the goal is to pile on the miles not the pounds around the holiday season!  You can sign up using the link above!  I signed up for 50 miles - wowza, I know, but shit gotta shoot for somethin'!  The button for POTM is also on my left sidebar!  So who is going to join me!?

Keyona and I are going to run the Candy Cane Course 5K in Kansas City on December 15th!  If anyone is in the area and wants to join us, we'd love to have you!  Here is a link to the deets - http://www.bodiespersonaltraining.com/holiday-fun-run-series.html if you do register shoot me an email and we will work out the details of meeting up!  Whoop!  Whoop!
