SCRUM Mastery

The past two days I've been in a training session to get my SCRUM Master Certification for work and I learned a ton. I actually went into it not excited because my job was forcing me to do. But it was a lot more informative and fun than I expected. The instructor is actually a pretty big name in the SCRUM field so he had great stories and examples and was really good at teaching the stuff. We played games and got up and did things in different groups so we met everyone and heard everyone's story. In fact I enjoyed it so much I'm seriously thinking about going and getting the next level certification at some point just because.

I always find it interesting what kind of people you get in this kind of situation. For example I met a few people who I like a lot and felt like real peers - those people I got their names and connected with them on Linked In and will reach out and have lunch with them at some point. Others...not so much.

Also question of the day: why is conference food so good and so plentiful?

Beyonce Thighs!

I have lost a bunch of fat. I haven’t actually lost an weight but I’m much skinnier. Ex: I bought this epic 70s dress from a thrift store and knew I would need the proper underwear for it. So I brought it home, put on said underwear and the dress and was bummed bc I looked the same. Jeff was like “you need your spanxs” and i was like “i’m wearing them!!” all girl-defensive mode. Took me two hours to realize that the spanxs weren’t doing their job bc they were too big! And when I finally figured it out, I was super excited. And the best part is we haven’t even been trying hard. We’re doing 3-4 days a week and it’s just a half hour of either cardio or doing weights - but nothing mega intense. We don’t come home dripping or anything. I’ve lost a ton around my rib cage (I can feel my ribs again), thighs (Beyonce thighs here I come!) but my little tummy pooch are still there. I’m not super worried or obsessing over it and I’m not giving up my cocktails anytime soon so I’m just accepting that it probably won’t ever go away and moving on with life. But new problem - I’m basically to the point where I have to make my own pants (which I’m starting to try).

Once the proper underwear is acquired, this will be awesome!
