I try to keep the weight loss talk around these parts really positive and uplifting, but I have to confess I’m having sort of A Week. It’s definitely not like I’m “off track” — in fact, I’m diligently counting my calories and on Saturday morning, I woke up at 6 AM to run two miles and go to yoga before heading to San Francisco for the weekend.

Happy Friday, my friends! I’m a little late with my Friday links, but hey, no one posts on Friday night/Saturday anyways, so now you’ll have something to read tonight or tomorrow. You’re welcome. Let’s get started: From Superhero Journal: what do you project into silence? This could have been written by me. Sarah from Pink of Perfection wrote about turning April 25th, 2012 Last week, my dear friend Kerri posted about some of her quirks. It got me thinking. True story, this blog could be a log of the weird things I do, but since no one wants to read that, here are a few of the highlights: I like a clean kitchen and bathroom, but I constantly have a pile of clutter around me that Andrew refers to (lovingly) as April 24th, 2012 Last week, I made a big decision: I’m going to train for a half marathon. After years of thinking about it and assuming I could never, ever do that, I decided that was silly and that I totally could do that, actually. Five weeks ago, I thought I could never ever run a mile that didn’t take at least 15 minutes and on Saturday, I ran a mile April 23rd, 2012 When it comes to food these days, I have two obsessions: veggies and protein. Protein and veggies. I spend an inordinate amount of time these days figuring out how I can get veggies at every meal. Lately, I’ve taken it up a notch and am forever striving to get a variety of veggies in my diet, and to eat the rainbow. Old Amy would totally get stoked about April 20th, 2012
Taken at the start of my first yoga class of my 40 Day Journey… — Happy Friday! Every week, I get happier and happier that it’s Friday since summer is fast approaching! Five more weeks of school until nine weeks of glorious freedom! A few things I found that are worth a read this week: I started April 19th, 2012
On Saturday, I turn 29. WHAT. I can’t believe it. I still feel like I’m turning 21! Or at most, 25. To be honest, I’m a little freaked out at the prospect of turning 29. I feel like there are certain shenanigans that are only truly acceptable when you’re in your 20′s. Most of them involve alcohol and poor decisions, so I got April 18th, 2012
Tomorrow, I’m starting a 40-day journey that I’m nervous and excited about. Over the past few months, I’ve taken a few yoga classes at a local studio called Zuda Yoga. Every class I’ve been to has been amazing, both for my body and my emotional well-being. For a long time now, I’ve been looking for a yoga studio where I feel really comfortable April 17th, 2012 I’m a little more than halfway though my 5K training for my race on May 6. One of the things that makes me happiest while training is a killer playlist. I thought I’d share my current favorites with you…if you return the favor in the comments section, please. Warm-up “Boyfriend” — Justin Bieber /// I mean, yeah, it’s the second time in a week April 16th, 2012 This painting is for sure inspiring — this artist, Anne-Laure Djballah, cleans her brushes on her wall and sometimes, it becomes something more. I love it. Photo from her Flickr stream here. — I recently finished teaching the novel The House On Mango Street to my students. Man, I love that book.
