Past few weeks...

So I've apparently been terrible at posting lately. Sorry! I'll be honest, I've fallen off the wagon a bit. I'm not working out as consistently and I'm not great about my eating (not binging on bad food, just not caring as much). I've been a little overwhelmed by a lot of things going on but that's no excuse. I have to get myself back on track! So if I haven't been working out, what have I been doing?

Football.

It's college football season and during this most wonderful time of the year, I spend weekends in Ann Arbor or in front of the TV to watch my beloved boys in Blue.

Between my love for Michigan Football and my little sister in the Drumline, the weekends are gone for the next few months. Sorry folks..just the way it's going to be! Since my last real "update" post on August 25th, my sister turned 20 and made the Stepshow of the Michigan Marching Band Drumline (a really big deal! Check out my videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/gabika0799 to see her in action), my company has announced that we're moving to Chicago (well the suburbs but close enough), I've had some big things happen in my personal life (I'll spare you the details there) and I took 12 minutes off my 10K time and felt great about it. Oh and Michigan Football has gotten off to an awesome 2-0 start with wins over UConn and ND.

As far as my health goes, I did a Shakeology cleanse for a few days but didn't see a major change. I think it's because I didn't stick to the plan as well as I could have so I'll try again here soon. My workouts have fallen apart some but with a wedding in November and a very fitted bridesmaid dress, I know I need to get back on that. I am very happy with my great 10K and want to find another one to run soon so I can work on taking off even more time! If you'd like to get back on track too, please let me know. I'm more than happy to help and sometimes the key to getting on track is just to have someone you know is supporting you every step of the way!

So of course I've been taking pictures the past weeks...here are a few of my favorites!

Sorry...still need to upload pictures from my camera so not a lot of game day shots from Saturday.

Next week will bring a packed update as well! I have two weddings to attend this week!! Can't wait to see old friends whom I've missed so much!

Hope you have a great day and week ahead of you too!
