Obsession Confession Sunday: Working on my Fitness

5 Things I'm Currently Obsessed With: Fitness Edition

1. Deep Purple Schwinn. I recently spied the most gorgeous deep purple and tan Schwinn. My current bike and I are coming up on our 8-year anniversary. One of his pedals broke during a ride today and he is starting to make funny noises. Perhaps if I get a tax return this year (gah, I need to get on that) I'll treat myself to a Schwinn.
2. My Fitness Pal app. If my new fitness regime yields results, I owe it all to boyfriend (for exercising with me 5x/week & encouraging me to eat green things) and to My Fitness Pal (MFP). Input your weight and goal weight and how many lbs you desire to lose per week (up to 2). MFP tells you how many calories you need to consume to reach this goal. You then input your daily food intake and exercise. MFP tells you how much you will weigh in 5 weeks if everyday were like today. MFP keeps me on track.
3. Neon Running Shoes. I saw a gentleman walking the track in these delightful neon ASICS and had to look 'em up online. The lady colors are far less delightful. Boo.
4. Zaxby's The Blue Zalad. I am a member of the salads are dumb camp. Salad with a meal = fine. Salad as a meal usually makes me very, very sad. The Blue, however, is delicious! It contains mixed greens, red cabbage, carrots, roma tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles and blackened chicken (and fried onions but I leave those off). I add a drizzle of buffalo sauce and lite ranch. So good.
5. Yoga. Yoga and I have an on-again/off-again relationship. I love it. It makes me feel good. It makes me feel relaxed. It makes me feel strong. I don't know why I quit after a while but I have done so several times. This time I pledge to keep the flame burning.

Obsession Confession Sunday

Five things I'm obsessed with RIGHT NOW:

1. Nail Polish Strips
They make me feel fancy. That's it.

2. Voice Recorder App
My best ideas come when I can't write them down. Like when I'm driving. Or about to fall asleep and abhor the idea of turning a lamp on. Only problem: my recorded voice sounds like that of a small child. This may have been cute in second grade when I was chosen from my school to read a Berenstain Bears book on the local radio channel. Not so cute now. (I have somehow managed to convince myself that my unrecorded voice does not sound the same way. Leave it alone.)

3. Bittersweet Orange Cookies
You want to go to here. Like super bad. This blogger's stories are hilarious and her cookies are amaz-za-zing. 

4. about.me
I'm so vain I probably think that song is about me. I absolutely know about.me/JenWhitfield is about me. And I like it. Seriously though, it's a great hub for all your online social activities. 

5. Cute Tatts [like Emma's mixer tattoo]
 My tattoos aren't cute and that is kinda bumming me out right now. I currently have a small star on my left foot, paint dripping on my right shoulder, a semicolon on my mid-back and copyright 1981 on my rear. I need a happy toaster or a dancing bittersweet orange cookie or something. STAT. (P.S. Check out the Sometimes Sweet Tattoo Tuesday feature.)
