What A Crazy Weekend

Here we are again, almost half way through the month. I swear I just wrote out my goals for the month and here I am making sure I follow through with them.  

Let's take a look back at the week. 

This guy is going downhill FAST. Sadly his cancer came back. This time it's much worse and I am just trying to make him comfortable until I know the time is right for him. I sure will miss this face and the love he has for me. I will give it to him though, he's 12! 

Friday night started out the weekend of parties for us. Hubby passed his test that he was stressing over and his friends from work was having a bash downtown to celebrate.  

Let's just say we were home and in bed by 11pm. 

Saturday I had planned way before I knew about downtown. We were schedule for a brewery tour and dinner after to celebrate his 26th birthday with his best friend and his wife. 

Sunday: The day of recovery and a sad day for the Panthers. I struck gold with the cauliflower rice from Trader Joes and believe I bought 10 bags and already had 4 in the freezer. I love this stuff! 

Superbowl, I was rooting for the Panthers. I was super bummed that they fell short. The team just wasn't there, they weren't themselves. None the less though Keep Pounding! As far as next season, I pray Eric Weddle goes to a team that will destroy the Chargers. I have lost a lot of love I had for them after what they did to him. 

Than Monday was Hubby's Birthday. And we are back into the full swing of things. Lots of work and getting ready for a busy end of the month! 

How was your weekend?

Happy Hump Day! 

Weekend Recap V.4

We meet again new week. 

A very busy week at that for me. It's end of the month which means, closing the month out. In English terms, I won't have a life again until next Monday when the end of the month report is finished. Anyone else experience this at any point in the month? 

The weekend was a great weekend spent at home. I literally haven't moved my car since I parked it Friday night. 

Friday: I was up early to finally match my eyebrows. I hate when I get to the point of them growing out so bad that they don't match. Luckily European wax center saved me again. If you've never been to one, I highly suggest it.   

I also found out my top has pockets, what a great Friday!

Later that afternoon a friend of mine invited me to workout with her at Planet Fitness. I was a kid in a candy store to get a second leg day this week.

I was a bit disappointed though when she told me she didn't want lean muscle, that she was more focused on the scale moving. That scale is EVIL! Gimme all the muscles vs scale moving! She also mentioned how all she wanted to do was ab workouts. I tried to explain to her that abs are truly made in the kitchen and almost every movement we did engaged her core. I was also not offered pizza or bagels but there was tootsie rolls on the counter. Planet fitness had way more cardio machines than weights and no squat racks, let's just say I will not be getting a membership to here. Otherwise, I was impressed with how clean it was though. Friday afternoon wasn't too crowded either which I liked. It's truly not a bad gym just not my gym. 

Friday night hubby and I went to chick Fil A for dinner and grocery shopping. 

Saturday: I worked all day. You know the joys of working from home, you get to design your own schedule and or when you have lots to do you do it on weekends. 

The boys dug up the yard to prepare for rain. 

I did mange to write up Friday Letters & wrote my book review if anyone is interested in having it. I will mail it to you for free. 

Sunday: I was up early and got a quick little arm workout in. I also finally opened up my beats. Why didn't I open them sooner? They are amazing! 

I struggle with writing my own workout plans but one day I will get it. I also need to invest in a 35 pound dumbbell sooner than later. 

After my workout it was protein pancakes for the win. 

417 calories // 39 carbs // 8 fat// 47 protein

Than it was typical sunday stuff of laundry, cleaning and watching football. 

Hope ya'll had a great weekend & even better start to the new week! 

Weekend Recap V.3

Happy Monday again Ya'll! Whose lucky enough to have the day off? I am not one of those lucky few but it's ok, it gets me back into my weekly routine. 

Weekend was fun. It was relaxing and got somethings done around the house. 

Friday: Hubby was off work and Cali thought it was ok to throw her toy on the ground and stare at it for me to pick it up.  

 My sister sent me a box of goodies. She got me this great cup! 

While I was working (I work from home 3 days a week) Hubby played in the yard digging things up and getting ready for El Nino since the last storm we got almost flooded our house. 

Friday night consisted of Steak Fajitas and an early bedtime. 

Saturday we were up early. Hubby was back in the yard to play (tree trimming and more digging) and I had a schedule massage. After the massage, I went grocery shopping for the week. (I fail & forgot to take a picture of all the yummy foods -but follow along on instagram as I post my recipes)

Saturday night was date night. We went out to Sushi (yes I tracked it in MFP) & manged to get Cold Stone. We went to the mall after and I finally scored the free pants if you buy a sport bra from Victoria Secret. We also got hubby finger fitted to order him a silicone ring.   

Once we were home, I was determine to start watching Making a Murder on Netflix. So we literally Netflix and chilled. We watched 3 out of 10 episodes. So far it's been very interesting. (yes this is our ghetto setup to get the netflix on the tv) 

Sunday was a busy day. I had to do laundry, clean and get ready for my week.  

I made my first batch of real #skinnymeg protein pancakes and they were delicious. Now I understand why she eats them so often. 

For lunch, I managed to make a zucchini crest pizza. It was delicious too. 

We watched the Panthers barely win the game. Hubby was stressing out over it as he is from NC so we are rooting for Cam and the panthers. 

How was your weekend? You do anything fun for the holiday? 

Hey 2016 Weekend Recap V. 1

Hey 2016! What a whirlwind this past week has been, let alone the last few months. I know I let you go but I am back. I said in my previous post I am hoping to blog more this year, and this is a great start.

Get ready for picture overload of the last few months. 

our ornament & got one for the animals this year

Every year since the year we got married (2012) I have gotten personalized ornaments. I am hoping by the time we are 50 and have grand kids we will have a tree full of just our ornaments.  

cute & comfy always calls for a picture 

top // leggings 

Cali always wants to make an appearance 

Finally got my haircut & colored since my amazing hair lady is out on maternity leave now for 6-8weeks. Ready to meet her baby though.

Hubby got some time off work for the holidays, so of course you found us at the gym together. 

Christmas was good. Sister made me this awesome mug for me. Don't worry I already put an order in for a few more. She is also taking orders if you want your own. 

I got these adorable bracelets in my stocking. 

We manged to figure out how to use the selfie stick this year. 

The new years was spent at home and in bed by 10:30. I know we're super lame but hey at least we're lame together! 

I got this awesome new planner & so far this is my favorite planner I have ever had. I have had the simplified planner, the Erin Condren planner for a few years, the typical target ones, but this is my favorite. 

I just need some fitness stickers and should be good to go with it. I am hoping to use it for the blog and personal life. 

On New Years Eve, Hubby and I went shopping to get some last minute stuff and I scored these awesome new nikes. I love the colors and can't wait to break them in for the new year. Getting serious about my fitness is on the top of my list.  

Hubby went off to the desert New Years day, and I secretly enjoyed staying home and putting Christmas away. I can't believe I have 5 bins of Christmas. 

Saturday they returned home and we continued our tradition of going to Benihana for dinner on New Years. 

Lastly, I am starting my new years off right. I am wanting to grow this year, grow my hair is a big one! I took the plunge and order it, I am giving it 3 months to see how it works. Tonight is day 1. 

How was your holidays? Are you ready to get back to life or are you still on vacation from the Holidays?  

What A Great Weekend!

Happy Last day of the month.

I always get excited for new months. I am hoping to really stick to some goals as the holiday season is here!

How was your thanksgiving break? Mine was good, I love spending time with family and yummy food.  

Once again, I have picture overload some are from insta and some aren't, but I figured it's better to have lots of pictures than no pictures right?

1// I need this cup in my life. Anyone know where to get it?  

2// My sister is the best! I have been eyeing these shirts on Victoria secret for a while than I waited to get them in store and my store never got them & online was sold out. 

Also, the popcorn has been impossible to find. Luckily she sent me all 3 flavors. Anyone try them yet? 

3// I did do LOTS of online shopping this past week. I got my dad's gift, a rumba and of course now costco is offering a rebate on it so I will be returning to rebuy it at the lower price. It's $50 off and I got two 32inch samsung TV's for the little one room and the guest room. 

4// Holiday's don't phase her one bit! 

5// Now that I learned to really use my wand. I love it! My hair for sure curls way better after 5 days of no washing it. 

6// Thanksgiving was spent with family and lots of yummy food! I could eat stuffing, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole for ever! 

7// We went black friday shopping friday morning. I scored some movies, tested out some headphone and got a new fitness watch. 

8// The head phones went back. I wasn't a fan of them. Luckily though I scored some purple beat by dre headphones at Target and I got my trusted skull candy regular head phones! 

9// Alex dropped my keys and now I have a  1 legged moose. Poor guy! I guess it's a reason to go back to Minnesota to visit family. 

10// Broke Santa out of his box. So far the dogs haven't tried to eat him so we'll see how this goes over the month. 

11// G was trying to help me clean... NOT! 

Another busy successful weekend. I am ready to decorate for Christmas and get in the Christmas spirit. Also, loving that San Diego is officially on board with winter weather!
