What is your latest obsession (nbr)?

I decided to start a new segment on my blog once a month about new things I love! Random things I have bought and or stumbled upon that I can't get enough of. Which leaves me curious...what is one thing that you are obsessed with right now?

  • My fitbit! Or rather, getting in all of my steps, which I usually only end up doing on the weekends.

  • My fitbit! Or rather, getting in all of my steps, which I usually only end up doing on the weekends.
    My fitbit is also my answer!  I discovered I moved way less than I thought -- it was a struggle to get 5K steps a day at first.  Now I'm up to 15K most days.  (I've also been tearing through audiobooks as a result of the additional walking I've been doing - bonus!)

    I'm also obsessed with getting back on my bike.  I'd wanted this year to be the year I continued cycling through the winter, but this was definitely not the year for that to happen between the frigid temps and the snow and ice that just melted a week ago.  But last weekend I gave my bike a wash and a lube and managed to get my first ride of the season in.  I'm planning to start the training program from Selene Yeager's new book, Bike Your Butt Off.
  • These little mini sweet peppers.  They're just so good.

    I agree with the fitbit. I am obsessed with moving all day to beat the previous days record. So awesome!

  • My latest obsession is planning a year of Ohio road trips.  We can't afford a big vacation this year, so I am focusing on close-to-home excursions.  There are a lot of cool places in my home state that I have never explored.  This weekend we are going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. 

    If you are looking something more specific, I would say Darren Criss. He's like the next Gene Kelly - I just know it.

    It's been a long time since I've lived in Ohio, but I used to love this place called Hocking Hills.  I have so many fond memories of that place.  Also, there was a cave I thought was awesome.  It was called something like Old Man's Cave or maybe Cavern?

  • I've been obsessed with makeup lately and makeup brushes.  Its awful.  I keep adding things to my sephora and ulta carts and then letting them sit for days trying to talk myself down.

    Today I've been obsessed with bras.  Yesterday I watched a video on how to properly measure yourself for a bra.  It just highlighted the fact that my bras don't fit right.  The bra I'm wearing today is driving me CRAZY.  I just want to rip it off and burn it.  Replacing this piece of crap is my top priority.  Even more than makeup.

     

  • These photos of the survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing.

    All of the cute spring/summer clothes that I can't wear but want to buy anyway.

    Getting my husband to help me do a whole list of things that I need to get done but can't because (1) it's too heavy, (2) it's stored somewhere I can't get to it, or (3) it involves power tools and I'm not allowed to play with them since that thing that happened last time.

    I went and got fitted for a bra in March. omg best thing ever. I highly recommend it. My bras were way off in size. I knew they were too small but didn't realise how far off l was.

    Old Man's Cave. Yeah, Hocking Hills is a great Ohio road trip.

    I've lived in SW Ohio, Columbus, and now live in NE Ohio. If you need tips or ideas or anything, let me know, we've kind of been everywhere! :)

  • DH and I are suddenly obsessed with being healthy and active. We both want to lose weight and feel healthier. We've been buying new running shoes, new workout gear, going running, trying all those fad workout routines, etc. We got rid of almost all of our soda and junk food. We are buying/eating so much healthier now. I'm pretty proud of us, but especially him because he has never been this motivated to be healthy before.

    Yea! Isn't it so great when your spouse is on board? We've been doing this lately too and it's just so much more motivating when you're not doing it alone.
