Birthday Recap

I had the best birthday weekend!!! Friday, I took 1/2 day off from work. I went shopping and found 2 skirts, 1 blouse and 1 short sleeve sweater for under $10.00!!! Friday night Chad and I met another couple. We went to Sansui Japanese Restaurant. I tried sushi without spitting it out! Not half bad: I think I could actually LIKE it! Afterwards, we went to see that movie "Grown Ups". It was so funny and filled with crazy actors!

Saturday, the actual day, I got plenty of beauty sleep... waking up at 10am. Chad cooked me breakfast, fixed my computer and then we went for a ride on his Harley. We rode to a nearby town and enjoyed dinner at The Ice House. Another, first for me.

Sunday we went to IHOP for breakfast. I wanted 1 pancake and it was awesome!!! Then we went to church and Lowes. After we got home, we chilled out. I created my CrAzY WoRkOuT routine for this coming week while enjoyed my birthday cake. We also took another Harley ride to test a new seat.

It was awesome and I am hoping to upload some pictures tonight or tomorrow.

My daughter, check it out!

Wanted: BFF within a 30 mile radius

So I am sitting here with exciting news about a 'tidbit' of my day with no one to really share it with. Not information I want the world to hear, yet I am so bubbly with happiness that I can't contain myself. I posted one snipp-it on Facebook, yet there is more that I would love to share. I have several good friends; however only two people I have considered my best friend. Both live very far away! They didn't always live that far, yet somehow the course of time has pulled them in a different directions or in one case pulled me in another direction. Needless to say, it has left me BFF-less. So what does a girl do... I share with my hubby. Girls if you are reading this... it was NOT the best move! Guys if you are reading this, learn to be, no not be... just ACT! excited about girly stuff. So I have this bubbly giddy thing that has happened to me (times 2) in this single day. One that a BFF would 'get'; however my husband would NOT get. So it leaves me less than fizzy... more like FLAT! Yes this is me talking in soda terms...

ok so here it is... and I am not sure I can even say it the way it played out. In a nut shell, I got two pretty awesome compliments about my looks. My looks meaning I have worked my bootay off for the last 6 months and have lost quite a bit of weight. I deserve for SOMEONE to notice and mention it, right?!?!?! I will admit that maybe, just Maybe my hubby was not the best person to express my enthusiasm about other guys complimenting me in various ways. (oopps did I forget to mention that part, well yes it was 2 different guys at two different times today) So there out for the world to hear because my BFF who is 1000 miles away didn't answer her phone. Not her fault.. she was busy I am sure. But still.. now I am FRUSTRATED that I shared it with my man who is, let's just say, less than excited about it. (go figure) A girl needs a compliment from somewhere!!!

The Twins

I spoke with the boy's mom the other day. She gave me an update from their 6 month check up. They weighed in at 18.4 pounds and 28 inches long & 17.11 pounds and 26 inches long. They are growing so fast... lil' chunkers I am guessing. Their 3 month photo is the last one I have seen. It really doesn't seem like it has actually been 7 months since I was preggo with them. I took a few pics back when I was about 7 months along and I was HUGE then. Now I wonder why I didn't take one before going to the hospital. LOL Circumstances maybe... who knows. I was just so focused on making sure they were healthy, that a photo shoot was not in my mind!

As you can see... my ticker reflects my journey since the birth of the twins. I have lost more weight than what I gained during the pregnancy. I actually am only five pounds away from weighing what I did when Chad and I got married. This is a photo of my dad and I AND my son and I dancing at my wedding.

Ok, well I see I posted my goals for the month and they are coming along nicely. Contemplating if I should avoid the scale for the next 4 weeks. Might make me work harder... thinking I haven't lost any weight... but not knowing so I won't become discouraged. hummm.... just contemplating!

June's Goals

My goals: I have 5 for the month of June.
1-Lose 10 lbs
2-Eliminate caffeine and simple sugars (except for my birthday)
3-Drink 85oz only water
4-Finish the "Look and Feel Great Through Nutrition" book I am reading in my spare time.
5-Do 6 days a week of Interval and Weight training.

I printed a plain calendar out so I can keep track of JUST these goals. I will need to stick to my goals in order to actually accomplish the 1st one.

ps. The scale was in my favor today!!!!

Back in March, I found out that I will be a gradma this October. Not sure if I mentioned it on here yet. I am so excited to hold this precious lil' baby!!! This past week I found out that my son and his wife are expecting a BOY!!! I am thrilled beyond words! I am also sad that I do not live closer to them and pray that this will change eventually...
