Weekend Ins & Outs..........

 

 

Hey all, Well it is Monday AGAIN!! Seems like we just had one of these a week ago.  Well anyways I had a pretty busy and eventful weeked some good and some really kinda awkward things happened. 

 

Friday night I went home and spent my entire night cleaning ( I call this house wife aerobics) I don't usually do this and what an exciting way to spend a Friday night but it was necessary since I knew that the next two days were going to be a little crazy.

 

So anyways Saturday the hubs and I got up and had to do some Easter basket shopping can you say procrastination?!?!  I knew that when I went the ailses would be picked through and probably nothing I would have really like was left but what could I do.  We went to Wally World and fought all the other last minute parents shopping for Easter stuff and 5 snarls and 3 bitch slaps later we were finished. Around 3:00 we had a birthday party at a place called Funtown.  Skating, games etc.  The girls had a great time.  See pics below. 

 

 

So needless to say after 3 hours of skating and bounce housing and games we were all pooped! Ok well the adults were the kids were still wired!!! So it was like late by the time we got baths and finally down for the night. I think I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow.

 

So Sunday came and the Easter Bunny visited our house and of course we dyed eggs and hunted them and played and played.  See pictures of our festivities below.

 

 

 

So Sunday is moving right along the day is nice there is an awesome breeze we are chillaxin and not doing much and then my hubs gets a phone call. 

It is an EX GIRLFRIEND (Ok don't freak out this is what I am saying to myself) and she is on vacation from New York and wants to come by and see him and meet me and the girls. My immediate first reactions is HELLS NO!!! He apparently already told her to come over so I was freaking out and not really happy and I will tell you I was stressed because I started popping the kids peanut butter M&M's like nobody's business.   So anyways they get there and everyone sits down and says hi and then *crickets......*

So eventually everyone loosened up and she ended up being very nice I will tell you this is NOT how I pictured spending my Easter but all in all it wasn't too bad.  I will tell you at one point I was freaking out and so wanted to just down a few Big Macs LOL but I digress I restrained.  When she left he asked me if I was ok and I told him NOW I was but if he ever did that to me again without notice or warning or ASKING we might have a problem. 

 

On the weight loss note I decided the Joing DietBet with Lex and Katie.  It seems like a really cool thing and money is involved. The way it works is you join for $15 and the goal is to lose 4% of your weight in 30 days and get paid.  I thought well I want to lose weight and I love to earn money so I said what the Hell!! If you want to know more informations click here!

I am pretty excited about doing this it is new for me and I feel pretty motivated about it.  I am going to do Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and that should get me going. 

 

I am also thinking about going back blonde what do you guys think.......

Favorite Things Friday

Happy Friday Yall!! Woohoo we made it and what a week it was! Today I decided to do a Favorite Things Friday post.  I figure it would give me a chance to focus on things that I love and include some pictures as well. I am not techy enough yet to do a link up or anything but yall feel free to grab the idea and post your own.

 

 

1.  Shoes-I absolutely love shoes my hubs calls me a shoe whore.  I have more shoes than I have clothes and I just can't resist purchasing them you never know when the right outfit will come along. Here are a pair I plan on getting very soon. Love them.

 

 

 

2. Clothes- Ok I don't have really keen fashion sense but I do love to shop for clothes now whether it is just to spend money or not I don't know but this is the type of clothing I love to shop for (Check out the awesome shoes in this pic)

 

 

3. Musician - Ok I love music in general, all kinds from country, to rock, to rap and oldies.  My favorite musician is Aaron Lewis. He is so talented and I have seen him in concert several times.  The hubs and I danced to his song at our wedding Tangled UP in You if you haven't heard it look it up it is awesome!  Plus he is H-O-T!!! Well I think so if you like that bad boy thing.

 

 

4. Tattoos- Ok so I absolutely love Tattoos I have 4 and it was something I wanted to do for a long time but I was a little chicken but once I got one it became an obsession. The hubs has quite a few as well.  Here is the first tattoo I got.  I love Fairies and Dragons too.

 

 

 

6. Diet Pepsi - Ok I know this probably isn't very healthy but I LOVE Diet Pepsi I used to have several a day but I have now got it down to 2 one at lunch and 1 at dinner.

Do you think if I drink it in the skinny can I will look like her?!?!

 

 

7.  Sushi- I am absolutely obsessed with sushi.  We go to a particular place here in town and they have this awesome roll called a Monster Roll to die for I tell you!

 

 

8. Favorite Movie - I don't really have a lot of time to watch movies except children's movies mostly but I absolutely love the movie Tangled (I think I am in love with Flynn Ryder).

 

 

 

9. Halloween - Ok I haven't dressed up in a long time but having kids I absolutely love this time of year planning stuff out parties and figuring out their costumes. I love that my 2 year old wanted to be a pirate this year and when she went to the door she would say AARRRRR give me all your candy. LOL.  She looks like are you talking to me. 

 

 

 

So there you go a little more about me and my favorite things.  Please grab my idea and do a post of your own.  If you don't want to do that please leave me some comments on your favorite things.  We have a pretty busy weekend ahead hopefully I will get a post in tomorrow.

NSV & Bowling

 

 

 

Happy Thursday Yall! Part of my post today will be Non-Scale Victories Linkup with Lex & Katie and also some bowling fun with the Hubs.  First let me say the Lex & Katie really inspire me and I love reading their post check them out in the links above. 

 

So Non-Scale Victories hmmmm what exactly have I accomplished that is considered a Non-Scale Victory?  Well I pondered this for a while and came up with increased my will power & was able to say NO!  Ok let me elaborate.  First of all when it comes to food I little ok NO will power but this week I actually said no to this.....

 

 

and cupcakes and french fries ok so you get the picture. I didn't dwell on it either I usually get to thinking about it and wonder if there is any left and then I think screw it I am going to eat it anyways but I didn't think week which was in truth a very BIG victory for me.

 

The other part for me is that I have this in ability to say NO to anyone that asks me to do anything even if I don't want to.  Call it worried about what everybody thinks or call it being too nice but this week that all kinda changed.  Not to get too in depth in the story but someone who intimidates me at work asked me to take on some of her work load and I would normally say OK and just do it (BTW she is always pawning stuff off on people and we don't really ever see her do any work).  This time however I thought you know what I have bucoodles (is that a word it is to me) of stuff of my own to do and very little time to do it so I said NO! Ok I didn't yell it at her and I was polite about it but I still said NO.  So all in all I guess I did have two Non-Scale Victories this week!

 

 

Ok so on to last night.... It was bowling league night for me in the hubs.  Called the babysitter and on our way we went.  Ok so most people wouldn't think this is exciting but we really enjoy it and a lot of our friends do it plus it is kinda like a date night for us.  So... here are some pictures to give you some ideas of how our night went.

 

First we practice.....Gotta throw a few balls and get loosened up!

 

Ok we have a 5 man team and everyone puts a dollar in the pot and we play poker

(Long story short 1 card for spares 2 cards for strikes and splits best hand wins) so here is the pot that I am hoping to win and skim a few dollas off these hookers.

 

 



 

BTW check out my bad ass bowling shoes!!! Love em.

 

 

Hubbs wasn't happy with his ball so he plays with it until he gets it right (twss)

 

 

HMMM not sure what the bowlers were using this for?

 

 

 

A little bit of aiming juice as the hubs calls it (none for me though) he swears it works.

 

 

Ok this is a tardo pic of me but I took it and I swear I hadn't had any aiming juice.

 

 

 

Guess what I WON woohoo A's & 8's baby gets em everytime.

 

 

So all in all it wasn't a bad night I had a 530 serious which is pretty good for me.

 

So in close it was a good week so far and a good night at the lanes and I leave you with a picture of me in my not so awesome OOTD LOL

 

 

Wait no one told me to not but the phone in from of my face.

 

Love Ya Mean It!

Weigh In Wednesday w/ Erin & Alex

 

 

Hey chicas so today I am doing Weigh In Wednesday with Erin & Alex (who are both fab by the way they both really inspire me).  Well I weighed this morning and I believe I have officially hit a plateau.  I am stuck at 178. SMH  I know that at lot of it is my fault and I haven't probably worked as hard as I could have to reach my next goal of 10 lbs.  So I am posting this as sort of a confession.  I have awesome intentions but we all know what that the road to H-E-L-L is paved with good intentions. LOL So needless to say I have been in a bit of a slump and it has been easy to not push myself.  I love reading everyones blog and when I am reading them I get so motivated and I have like all this desire to kick ass in my workout, but when I get home (I am reading most of these at work) I have like no energy. So my question to all of you is how do you push yourselves to keep on keeping on so to speak.  I realy would like some tips and suggestions.  I will say I don't have a lot of time between working and three kids it can be difficult to find time for me.  So any suggestions on effective quicker workouts as well as maybe what days you do what would be awesome.  Thanks to all of you for reading and listening to me rant.

 

Peace Out!!

1. If calories didn't count, I would eat... all day, every day!!! Even when I am sleeping.

2. On my Prom night.... went with a bunch of girlfriends and honestly we had the best time no drama.....Now that I typed that it sounds so lame but what can I say I was the Fat Chick.

 

3. When I go to the store, I always buy... Gum, it's like I am afraid I will be caught by the halitosus fairy and won't have any gum.

4. Family functions typically... are always full of loud talking and chaos and usually end up in a big mess.

 

5. I think my blog readers... well I don't have any at the moment.  I am fairly new but I would luv sum!!!

 

6. I'd much rather be..... a SAHM (Stay at home mom) no wait a working mom, no how about a combination of both.  Able to participate in all of my kids activities as well as bring home the bacon.

 

7. I have an obsession with.... reading, bowling, cleaning & Shoes (lots & lots of Shoes)

 

8. My work friends.... are really awesome people!  We all truly try to work as a team and make the day as pleasent as possible. 

 

9. When I created my Facebook account.... I tagged way to many people and posted way to many pictures of everything I did, the kids did, the cat you get the picture.

10. My least favorite word is.... Never......Never say Never.

Weekend at a glance.....

 

Hey yall, this weekend started out pretty much the same as always.  Friday night the hubs and my dad are on a bowling league so they do the bowling thing.  My middle daughter goes to visit her dad so that just leaves Ms Z (the youngest) & Ms E (the oldest) so after Ms E solicited to every friend that she has to let her stay the night with them she finally made her way back to me and asked please, please please!!! Can I have a Sleepover?!?! After much bargaining and begging I give in.  So Friday night I had three 15 year old girls laughing at anything and everything and not knowing the meaning of quiet to be that age again and think everything and anything is funny!! So that left Ms Z and I to a night of raviolis (for her) and Salad (for me) and Dora, Blues Clues and Tangled.  I passed out early I must be getting old……. Nah just better!!

 

Saturday my middle daughter is on a kids bowling league so we went to that and she did pretty good check out her score! She got three in a row that is a turkey!!!  Way to go M!

 

She is the ME..... 

Then after bowling we decided to go to the marina and have lunch.  Don’t know if I mentioned that I live in Florida so the days are pretty awesome all year round every now and then we have what we consider cold (below 70) LOL!! So we went to the river and to a restaurant and hand an awesome lunch with my parents.  Ms Z loved it we seen a manatee and some pelicans and of course it was an absolutely gorgeous day.  Zoe didn’t want to go but she got so tired and started whining so we decided it was time to head home for hermit time.  See the pics of our lunch below.

 

 

Then on Sunday I conned my hubs into grocery shopping for me that’s right and it was AWESOME!! Holla!!  So he brought me a yummy salad for lunch and we just vegged out on the couch and watched (well I napped) the race! 

 

All and all it was a pleasant weekend and of course this week is spring break for the kids so that means that will be home all day and doing what they do which is makin a mess!! Anyways hope to have a more interesting week to report for you all! 

 

Just a note I want to say how inspired I am by all of those blogs out there that I follow.  I enjoy reading them all and they keep me wanting to blog as well. Thanks so much for allowing me to join in your journey! I hope to some day be as awesome with followers as well.

 

Heather xoxo
