Life or Something Lately

**Side note: I secretly wanted that to be the title of my blog... but it was either taken or I decided it was too long (yet, now I have Life with Woodford? idk)**

Anyway... since I'm sitting here in my hotel room in California I thought now would be a good time to update the ole blog.

What have I been reading lately?

I finished this book last week. Ohmygoodness. Amazing. If you haven't read it, you HAVE to. It's very well-written and I found it extremely hard to put it down. I can't wait for the movie to come out!
I started this one awhile ago... like back in the Spring. (I know.) And it's a really good book if you want to learn about how our bodies process food and what kinds of food make us feel the best and what's best to eat, etc. But at the same time, it mad me feel horrible about my eating choices. And that's not cool. So I put it aside for the time being. I'm going to go back to it, because I want to finish it. But for right now, it's shelved away and I don't feel guilty about my Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches or Pizza Rolls. So yeah.

I'm currently reading THIS book. It's a really good book, because it inspires me/motivates me to make changes in my daily life in the pursuit of happiness. And she gives good advice/examples of things to do that will make you happier. However, I don't feel unhappy. And I found myself having to put it down during certain times of my flights this past weekend. I guess I would say it's exhausting? I don't know, that has a bad connotation. So I would switch to my Southern Living magazine (don't judge me - just because I'm not an 80-year-old living in Petal, Mississippi I can still like SL!) I haven't actually started this one. I bought it on a whim at Target (haven't we all?) And it appealed to me because it has a dog on the front. Yes, I'm THAT girl. I buy books based on their covers.

So that's what I've been up to lately. I've had some busy weeks at work, with no end in sight. But since this is "busy season," I can't really say anything. Or avoid it. Basically I don't have time to surf the internet, email my friends and leave early right now. But that's ok. It will be over soon.

Another development in my life: I started running again. (And when I say "started running," I mean I ran a 5K, wanted to die, swore off running, then decided I wanted to run again this weekend.) You know what I mean? Anyway, the running part sucked, but the feeling after and knowing I completed a 5k in a decent time (by my standards) was very enjoyable. So I'm going to keep at it. And one of my friend's friends who was at the race said he can help me with my breathing so I don't feel like my lungs are going to collapse whenever I start running really fast. So that's promising!

I guess that's all I've got for tonight. Look forward to a post next week maybe. No promises, but I'm going to try!
