Some thoughts and discussions from me.

Holy moly it’s August 2nd!!
When did that happen?! It’s weird because in Illinois, I’d start to get sad that summer is coming to an end. Here, I know that although it will be snowing in October, there will also be days of sunshine and warmth in the same month (and through December, January, etc.) Also, snow means skiing and snowboarding here!!! Shane and I have declared it the year we learn how to do all that stuff. Hopefully we like it. It’ll give me a reason to look forward to snow
Anyway, to kick off the month, how about a Currently Survey? I believe I first saw this one on Lauren’s blog, who got it from Frankly Fatso. Regardless, I love a good survey, and this one’s just that! 
Currently…
Current book(s): Right now I’m smack dab in the middle of reading An Innocent Client by Scott Pratt.
It’s a criminal/law book, and I just love it. This is actually probably my favorite genre of fiction. I’ve never read a Scott Pratt novel before, but so far I love him as an author. James Patterson and Nelson DeMile still top that list, though. Oh, and I’m also reading/researching Fat Loss Breakthrough for Women and my ACE Health Coach manual.
Current music: Anything upbeat, modern, techno-y, and makes you want to dance. I’ve been researching songs to play for spin classes I’ll be teaching in the near future!
Current guilty pleasure: The Challenge: Rivals
It’s the only MTV show I watch anymore, and I look forward to it every week! I think I might even like it more than the Housewives shows.
Current nail color: Hot pink!
I just ordered a bunch of Jamberry Nails from Lauren, and I love them. It took me 15 minutes total, without worrying about staying in the lines, waiting for them to dry, and breathing in chemicals. Win! Pssst – I’m having a Jamberry party soon, but if you’re interested in ordering some, you can do so here (it’s buy 3 get one free!)
Current drink:
Iced coffee! I make it via the cold brew method in my French press, and then enjoy it for several days. And lots and lots of water. And wine! For some reason I’m choosing wine over beer this month.
Current food:
Chili. I made a hayuuuuge pot of it for dinner the other night, using a pound of ground beef and a pound of ground lamb. Turns out Shane does not like lamb one bit, so I’ve got a lot of chili to eat. To be fair, chili made with ground lamb isn’t all that great, but seeing as I hate to waste food, I’ll still eat it.
Current favorite show: The Office!
Yes, I know, I’m like, 8 years behind, but I just started watching The Office and I love it. For some reason, I wasn’t all about it when it was on the air, but I’ve been catching up on Netflix, and spend the hour of 8:00-9:00 every night laughing my pants off! I think I’m on Season 3
Current wish list: 1. to book our tropical vaca in November 2. More clients 3. That homes in Boulder weren’t so expensive
Current needs: nada! Well, I lied – I do need to get Clarabelle some more kitty food. And I need to print off a program for my next client after I finish this survey
Current Bane of My Existence: The yellow ball.
DEATH to the yellow ball! I swear we throw that thing for her 1,008 times every.single.night.
Current Celebrity Crush: Charlie Hunnam
C’moooooon September 10th! Can’t wait for Sons of Anarchy to start up again 
Current indulgence: mid-week hikes and brunch dates.
Yes, yes, yes Lauren, Katie, and I met up for a hike at Sanitas after I taught my morning core class, and then we hit up Snooze for brunch afterward. I had the Chilaquiles Benedict, which is basically just tasty on top of tasty on top of more tasty.
Current blessing: Having a good home, mountains to help clear my head, friends to share that with, having family to miss back home, and having a husband who treats me like a queen! I feel incredibly blessed.
Current slang: Ehhh any slang that I have is permanent. I feel weird saying things like “amaze” or “cray cray” or any other trendy slangy words. Maybe yo? I say yo a lot, but that’s like…from the 90’s.
Current outfit: Nike Tempo shorts and a sports bra. The tank I was wearing, while clean, smelled so super weird, so I had to take it off. Blech. Hate that.
Current excitement: 1. Hiking a 14-er in a couple weeks 2. White water rafting in a couple weeks 3. BFF’s Kim and Destiny visiting me in September!
Current mood: happy and hopeful
Current link: Other than gmail, my blog, some client spreadsheets, and feedly, I have JPFitness forums open.
Hooray for August! Off to train a morning client. Have a great weekend, friends!
Your turn! What’s your current outfit, excitement, or indulgence?
I used to watch The Challenge religiously but then I stopped and now I don’t know who half the people are! I did watch an episode the other day, the one where Trishelle went home.
I say yo a lot too.

It’s a yummy pickle 🙂 And this is why you need to watch Sons of Anarchy, that’s Jax in it!!
Your dog is so cute! Can you tell me what breed she/he is? I have a dog that we rescued a year ago and she looks like yours except black so was just curious. Really like your blog btw. 🙂
Glad you are enjoying the Office now…unfortunately it kind of goes down hill after season 3.
And that Chilaquiles benedict, what I great idea! It looks so yummy!
