Weekend rewind

Happy Monday! 

I hope you all are staying warm and had a fabulous weekend! 

My weekend was extremely laid back for the most part. 

Friday: work was short, but quite busy!! I worked out immediately after work so I would still be motivated, and I was really happy, I ran for 24 minutes on the treadmill, which may not seem like a lot but I was pretty happy. I completed 2.5 miles, which I want to definitely increase, but running on a treadmill has always been difficult for me! After that I came home, and Scott and I both fell asleep! We ended up grabbing Subway and just relaxing the rest of the night.

Saturday: Scott and I both slept in. I woke up and made us breakfast. I then had a 2 hour phone date with one my best friends Hope. She is prego and having her baby boy in April. (i swear everyone is pregnant around me) It was so good to catch up, I always enjoy our phone dates! 

After that I realized I was super behind in getting ready. Scott was reffing a freshman bball game, and him reffing was something I just had to see haha! 

It was fun watching him! haha! After we stayed and watched jv and varsity. All three teams won! 

After the game we went out for a few drinks. I did enjoy a Moscow mule! oh haven't had one forever. so good! 

It was a nice night out. 

Sunday: Slept in a little too late. Then I really wanted to go to Casper for some house stuff. We ended up going, but didn't get much done due to the weather and Scott saying it was time to go. Then my wonderful husband made ME drive in the dark blizzard. I was not happy but I guess it's always experience.

Ps I did buy some more workout clothes so that made up for it

Monday: It wasn't a bad day. It went by quickly at work so that always makes me happy. I then worked out, I did 6.6 miles on the elliptical for 40 minutes, weights, and abs! I am a little bit tired tonight! It was a good day, and I have to show you the "storms" my kiddos made today! They are supposed to look like a rain storm! 

Love! 

Hope you have a good rest of the night!

xxoo 

Struggle ON!

Hello friends.

I really hope that you are having a great day, and I am hoping that you enjoy my blog as well. I am feeling like I don't have a lot of people who enjoy it, so if you have any suggestions let me know. : ) 

As for my workouts...I took Monday off since I had day off. Then I felt guilty and made up for it last night. I did 6.5 miles on the elliptical, abs, and arms. I was sure tired today. I then told myself no more days off like that and made up again with insanity. whoa. TIRED girl here. 

I found this while looking for more motivation...

So I am going to keep going...and hope that the results come. I also took my measurements too...(not happy with those) but I gotta start somewhere!

I hope you enjoy my blog, because I enjoy it, but I would love to have everyone enjoy! 

xxoo 

Happy Monday!

Hello Happy MLK DAY and a day off for me! 

I am loving this long weekend, even though I didn't get barely anything I wanted accomplished! 

Friday: I got off an hour early from work, so I was excited and got to go workout early. I got 5.5 miles done on the elliptical, abs, and weights. The low point of my workout was seeing a guy doing squats and his leopard underwear were showing...haha...I had a hard time holding myself together...next low point hearing a guy try to pep talk himself to do his reps. (then he didn't even finish them) but I was so happy to get my workout done early! Scott and I ended up and watching the boys basketball game, which we won so that was nice. The rest of the night was relaxing.

Saturday: I went to a special Saturday spinning class they had. I wore my new shirt I got for Christmas, loved it. Kept me motivated. 

After my workout I got a nice surprise that my pop-e was coming for the rest of the weekend. Scott left for Denver to go watch the playoff game so it was nice to have company. I finally got to watch my cousin Carson play and she even got in the varsity game! 

I ended up staying the night with my family since Scott was out of town. So nice to hang out with them.

Sunday: LAZY. that was my word yesterday. I did nothing but watch football and sleep. The twins stopped by and that was nice. Milli got to play with my aunt's boxers. I think she wore them both out! 

Last night I finally told myself I needed to do at least one thing productive, so I gave Milli a shower. Thank goodness because she smells much better haha! 

Today: I went to breakfast with my pop-e, aunt, and cousin. We then went shopping (if you can call it that) at a little store we have. They came over and helped try to pick out some paint colors for some more rooms in the house... and now I need to go to the grocery store to get some food since we seem to have nothing. 

I am honestly just enjoying having the day off!!! 

I hope you have had a wonderful day and weekend!

My weekend and monday

hello friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Monday. I had every intention of blogging last night, but while I was cooking dinner I came out to the living room to this....

My husband surprised me with a little set up for a "romantic" evening. It was really a nice surprise, so obviously I allowed myself to just enjoy the time with him. 

It was a nice treat after a long Monday. I had more students added to my class, and let's just say it made for a difficult day.

My weekend....

Friday:
completely low key. We had dinner with the in-laws, and then came home and watched tv/movies. It was so nice just to relax. We were supposed to go to my mom's this weekend, but due to weather, it didn't happen, so I was a little sad about that.

Saturday:
Since I didn't want to workout on Friday I made sure I went and worked out on Saturday making it 5 days! YAY! I did 5 miles on the elliptical!

\

After a workout I relaxed and Scott watched some football. 

We ended up going to dinner with another couple, and then going for a few drinks. I guess you could say a few drinks for Scott. I had one and just felt guilty having one after working out so hard that day.

Sunday:
Since we stayed the weekend I had a baby shower to go to. It was so nice and I even won a little wine glass filled with chocolates and make up! The sweet prego friend is due any day now and you wouldn't guess she is that far along! She is adorable. And I got to see one of my closest friends. I felt left out though over half the girls there were pregnant! Crazy! haha! oh well my time will come some day hopefully.

The rest of the day I cleaned and got ready for the week!

Low key, but that's okay with me!!

Hope your weekend + monday have been great! 

Oh and on Sunday my pop-e and late Grandma would have celebrated 68 years. I know my grandma is smiling down at my pop-e! I made sure to call him and tell him happy anniversary! love that man to the moon and sure miss grandma everyday! 

Happy Tuesday.

xxoo 

don't stop.

So as you know my goal is to work out 5-6 days a week. I finished day 4 today.

My biggest problem is I want results instantly, and I give up when I don't see them. I can be impatient when it comes to myself. So I collaged all over my planner, have a background on my phone, and I think if I blog about it maybe I'll stay motivated to see results. It is weird, you would think that me being a P.E. and Health major, athlete my whole life I would know that results don't come overnight. I guess when I gained weight do to a medication it made me unmotivated because I have never had to think as much to myself getting older, and my body changing. (I don't mean that badly I have always had to work for my fitness, but not as hard I guess) 

So this week: 

Monday: insanity

Tuesday: elliptical and treadmill, weights, abs

Wednesday: Treadmill (variety program-30 mins.) abs

Thursday: Spinning class (first time too)

Some of my motivations! What do you do to motivate? Please share!! Love your comments!

Happy Thursday!

:reverse catch up:

I'm alive! I have been absent from blogging for 2 weeks... eek! I have so much to catch up on, but due to still adding photos, I'm doing a catch up in reverse starting with today and working my way back..and this post will most like have at least two more parts, but first of all. HAPPY 2014! 

Today it was back to work I go. insert sad face. Break wasn't long enough, I def miss those college breaks of 3 or more weeks, but what can you do! My work day wasn't the best, but like all Monday's it was to be expected. The kiddos weren't used to the routine, and I don't think I was as well. Once I got home, I promised myself as a new year has came that I would eat healthy and work out. 

I have several other resolutions, but I am proud to say I started today, and I feel great. Scott even got me some new kicks for Christmas which help me stay motivated! 

I heart them big time. 

So this past weekend as I got back from Laramie with the family, I cleaned and cleaned. I am still cleaning, but our house is making progress... finally! 

I am came back home on January 2nd, and was so sad to leave my family. I went ahead and treated myself to a mani/pedi before leaving though since Rawlins doesn't offer much. 

Loving the coral with snowflakes! 

I also got to feel my godson move a ton! Only 10 more weeks tell he is due. This auntie is getting impatient.

So New Year's... I found this photo and it inspired me for this coming year. I know so many people are going to say they are going to be different. I don't want to change who I am except be more fit, but I do want to become a better version of myself. That is one of my biggest resolutions. 

Scott had to come back to Rawlins early, so we didn't get to spend our first New Year's as a married couple together. I was quite sad... Milli and I celebrated with sparkling grape juice and party hats! 

New Year's Eve: I just relaxed, colored in my anatomy coloring book. yes I am weird. I had one of these when I was little due to my dad being a physical education teacher, and I found one over break and couldn't resist. I enjoyed some drinks, and tried to stay out of the wind. 

My aunt getting ready to fly away...

I hope you all had a great Monday. Part two coming tomorrow!

Invitations/Prom

Hello there!!! So since Scott the job in Rawlins, I have secretly been peaking at houses online... shhhhh haha! I have been trying to decide if I want to add my Elementary School Teacher endorsement... decisions decisions.. among all the chaos our invitations came! Can't wait to start getting them addressed! 

I also went home this past weekend and it was my baby sister's junior prom! She looked so beautiful! Her dress reminded me of Belle from Beauty and the Beast... LOVE
