Weekly Recap (8/27-9/2)

September 2, 2012 Leave a Comment

This was a good week!  Not only did I rock my Walt Disney World Marathon training, but I also completed all of the workouts for Tone It Up‘s Beach Week.  The Disneyland Half was this morning and I’m so jealous of all the people that get to experience a runDisney weekend.  They are so much fun!  Is it January yet?!  It isn’t January, but it did just change in to September which is crazy.  I need to start doing a monthly goals list.  I’ll try to get one posted this week.  On an awesome note – Donna is coming to visit tonight, so be ready for some Adventures of Alec and Donna in the City Part 2!  Check out what else I did this week below:

Posts:
Monday – Beach Week Begins!
Tuesday – Ready to Run!
Wednesday – none
Thursday – Motivation Revealed!
Friday –  Welcome to Stamford!
 
Adventures:
I finished Gone Girl – while I became obsessed with it in the middle, I thought the end left me hanging!
It is officially football season!
I registered for my first race up north – the Susan  G. Komen Race for the Cure -and it is in Central Park no less!  I’m trying to raise $250 in a week!  Any donations would be much appreciated.
I rocked #BeachWeek and marathon training this week…even if my workouts didn’t go as originally scheduled.  I still got everything done by today.  Go me!
I signed up for Foodie Pen Pals – September!  (I took the month of August off to move and such.)
I’m having left hip pain after running again – must. stretch. daily!
I made Labor Day plans – looks like I will be pooling/BBQing it up today.
Donna arrives tonight!
My teal chair arrived from Pier 1 – desk complete, vlogs later!
 
Workouts:
Monday – TIU Seashell x 3 + TIU Sandcastle + TIU Itty Bitty Bikini x 3 + TIU Beach Babe DVD HIIT workout
Tuesday – none
Wednesday – none
Thursday – none
Friday – ran a 10K + TIU Under the Sea x 3 + 50 TIU tummy tucks + TIU Malibooty x 3
Saturday – ran a 10K + SELF 8 toning moves x 3 + TIU Surfer Girl + Sunkissed Abs x 3
Sunday – 60 min walk + TIU Beach Babe DVD Summer Arms + TIU Beach Babe DVD Bikini Abs + TIU Cowabunga x 3
 
Yes, that just happened!  I rocked my workouts this weekend just to meet my goals.
Weekly Goals:
Apply for new jobs each day.
Read Gone Girl for an hour everyday. (So far, I don’t love it yet…) Finished, 2 new books arrive this week from Amazon!
Study daily for the LSAT and research a prep class.
Get a gold star for WDW Marathon training.
Make at least one WDW Marathon training check-in vlog.
Plan something fun to do for Labor Day weekend!
Write my blog posts in advance.
Narrow down my list of law schools.
Strength train each day with Tone It Up (Beach Week starts tomorrow!) not each day, but I got it done
Wash my face every night before bed – I’m usually OCD about this, but I’ve been slacking oddly. Last night I was reading and fell asleep at 10pm!? Sad.  I think I missed a night, but thankfully I wasn’t wearing makeup that day…so it was a little better.


New Weekly Goals:
Find at least one of the David Beckham statues around NYC with Donna.
Study for the LSAT and research a prep class.
Write my blog posts in advance instead of morning of.
Narrow down my list of law schools.
Visit the Nike Running Flatiron store – a Nike store completely dedicated to running.  I want to get their shirt that says “You pace or mine?” – so clever!  It makes me laugh.
Hang out at my most recent rooftop bar I found – Press Lounge at ink48.
Network at the IFB rooftop party.
Meet Alessandra Ambrosio at the Victoria Secret Fashion Night Out event in NYC.
Break 30 minutes for the Race for the Cure – although my 5K PR is around 27:30, unfortunately, I’ve lost all of my endurance recently.
I’m hoping my mom comes to visit next weekend if we can find her a good flight!
Apply for jobs each day.
Finish re-reading 50 Shades of Grey.
