Good Morning!

So I thought that with my bosses gone this week, I’d have a bit more time to “work on important things” …. *coughbloggingcough*. But damn it all if I haven’t been actually productive with work-related tasks! I know, right? I impress myself ;)

So basically this is a blog to tell you I’m not blogging today. Annoying, I know. I also burned my fingers pretty badly this morning making eggs (damn you, eggs!) and it’s pretty painful to type. In lieu of people thinking I’m dead or something … here’s a few things I’ve been up to this week!

Registering for The Color Run! I’m beyond excited that they’re coming to Des Moines in October. Who knows, maybe I’ll have hit my 75lb loss by then? I had originally wanted to go to the Chicago one, but it sold out SUPER fast. Now I’m all ready for my hometown!

Getting read for the BIG MOVE! I never knew what really went into buying a house. I. Am. Exhausted. There are so many little details that need to be taken care of, inspection remedies to fix, and a paperwork trail miles long! Don’t get me wrong – everything’s going as smoothly as it can. It’s just such a process! And I haven’t even started packing. ;)

Falling in love with my iPhone. It’s true. My old phone finally bit the dust and I hopped on the iPhone bandwagon. All my other electronic equipment are Macs, so it just works better. You can follow me on Instagram (@FitandFreeEmily) and expect photos of sweaty workouts, cute/crabby toddler moments, and half eaten food. That’s how I roll.

Also, have you heard of GymPact?

I just downloaded this ap last night to help get my booty to the gym. I totally slacked last week with my workouts, and I MUST get back in gear! Basically, you put money on the line. If don’t go, you lose that money. Check out the video below:

Interesting, huh?

Okay. Fingers burning and work to be done. No LBE series post tonight, my apologies! Hopefully I’ll be back at it tomorrow if I can get this pain squashed and some extra caffeine. :)

Be Strong. Be Fearless. Be You.

      Thank you, Sarah! My own dumb mistake . . . I just get too distracted!

    That’s great! I’m so excited for you. The Color Run in Seattle was my first 5k and it was seriously the most fun that I’ve ever had running. Seattle’s race sold out to 7000 people in 36 hours so it was HUGE!

      WOW, that is a crazy amount of people! Did you bring a camera? I’m wondering how the powder might screw up my iPhone. lol

        I did, I took my iPhone and just kept it in my bra while I ran. My MIL was there with us and took “real” pictures from the outside. I got some really awesome pictures from inside the color festival though. It didn’t mess up my phone too bad, it’s just corn starch. I do still have a pink stain on the ear speaker. FIY the pink takes FOREVER to come out. I had a pink stain on my forehead and under where my garmin sits for a week.
