Happy Hump Day Randoms

It's Wednesday Lovey's and I am glad the work week is just about over and the weekend is just about here! Ha!  Spring weekends are the best don't ya think!  This weekend I have a few things planned, but I am definitely going summer clothes shopping!  Some new pieces in my wardrobe is a must, well not really a must, but a I want really bad! Ha! And I have saved up so it's alright!  No credit cards for this gal! Well, and I have been losing weight/toning so the shorts don't fit like they used too.  And I love it that's it's because I am losing and not gaining.  Last year it was the opposite when I had to buy new! This year is better! Ha! Well I am off to bed now, after a few words with friends plays of course! Yes addicted- Thanks to Monica ;) And now we are over the hump...I'm out!

Outdoor Gardening Glam

So my new love this year is gardening. I am very much appreciating the relaxation that comes with being outdoors and working in my yard. Yes, even the mowing and weed wacking I have come to not mind. There is just something about being in the beauty of the outdoors and making your own outdoor living space. Oh and trust me, you must be creative in a townhouse! Ha!

Every year past that we have lived here I have had a tough time keeping things growing, well let's be serious, keeping things alive is more like it! If there was a "black thumb of death" I'd own it. But its different this year, its waste keep buying new when the old dies and I am so into my gardens and flowers for that reason. It is definitely a new appreciation; one I find so much fun!

Did I stop to smell the flowers?

Wow it has been over a month since my last blog post.  So sorry followers :(  I have been so busy, again so busy.  My head is just spinning.  Work, Life, All of it!  I know some of you can relate! Ha!  But now, now it is time to jump right back in and there is no better way then coming off of a fabulous weekend, and past week and a half with my husband home! Love it, Love him, so blessed! 

This weekend we had a gals retreat in PA, for our church!  It was awesome.  I loved being with my girls and just laughing and learning, and having some fun! I love them like family.  My husband left the morning I left for the retreat so it was nice to be doing something other then just being at home thinking about him leaving. It was just great.  Thanks God! 

So what else has been going on you ask... hmmmm.... LIFE, as always!  My sister-in law is engaged- super exciting, work is crazy, not as exciting but okay. Ha! CPOE, I live and breath it! HiFi studio, loving my TRX and Zumba classes, Running, yes again, slow,but without the pain-Yes!  My little Beanie passed away after 16 years, very sad but she is at peace.  Happy Anniversary number 2, and my husband was home, fabulous, sweet, and simply wonderful. Dish Network, like it better then Cable, alot better! Ha! No debt other then car payment, school loan, and mortgage- Thanks Dave Ramsey! Ha! Friends, time with friends-love it. Spring Cleaning & Yardscaping- ahhh relax all clean and I am happy.  Florida trip was so needed and loved seeing family and park hopping!  Next stop San Francisco-  Never been, can't wait! Did I mention work... and then everything else I am overlooking. 

To sum it up it has been crazy I have been crazy, but greater is He who is in control and I am just here living it and it's great! Every day a new day, a new chance, a fresh start... so thankful, so so thankful! And yes though it has been crazy busy, I did stop and smell the flowers, I always do at every chance there is...  and so what does tomorrow hold? Stay Posted! Ha!

VaCAtion

Well, finally it is here... our vacation!  I just can't wait to get away and get a break from the everyday.  We are heading south to Florida!  I am so excited, we are visiting family, going to some parks, going to a wedding, and just RELAXING!  The best part! Ha!  I am so thankful to finally get away! Love it! See ya when I get back!

Wildflower

Loving this right now!  The style, the song, it's all girl! Ha!  And check out the video, there is a little Boston Terrier!  Love it!



Feeling Fit, almost! HA!

What a beautiful weekend it is!  I always say there is nothing like the weekend, and this one is no different! Ha!  The weather is nice, our running group had it's first 5K, Lunch with a friend, wonderful lasting phone conversations with the love of my life, and just so much more! 

I have so much going on, I am so blessed and I give all thanks to where it is deserved.  Thanks God!  I am so excited that the weather is changing, not being able to run will give me a nice excuse to get my bike out early and hit that trail.  Work is going, it's just going and I am not going to waste my words on that today! Ha! The fitness studio, well I joined, I think ya'll know that, and it is great!  Meeting new people, stepping out of my comfort zone, it is definitely rewarding.  Oh and Zumba, so much fun! Let's just say I am getting ready for that bikini! And I am not proud, just thankful that each day I can give myself up to being healthy; eating right and exercising.  It's sometimes rough, but I keep praying through it! And I have taught myself a rough lesson, the scale isn't what is most important, while it can be encouraging, it doesn't paint the whole picture, and can make you feel defeated at times.  A good friend  told me to try my clothes and pay more attention to that and how my body is changing, what great advice. Thanks Monica!  I have lost more inches then pounds and my BMI is down!  Fabulous! Ha!  I pray to keep positive.

 Please pray for me I am a little nervous with my husband coming home soon, that the diet and exercise will go out the window, and it just can't completely.  And he is great and knows it's important, I am one very blessed gal my husband= wonderful, of course I am partial! Ha!

New in the New Year:2011

This week I joined a new fitness studio, all classes all the time!  I did my first class TRX and it was wild!  I met so many great people and the instructors are super nice.   And they even offer ballet, which I would love! This stemmed from my follow-up with my orthopedic doctor, I am down for high impact-running that is- for another 4-6 weeks, MRI shows 2 stress fractures and likely an old fracture that has healed over.  Crazy, so this is my new venture to fill the void of not being able to run it!  Well wish me luck on toning this body, dropping a few more, and to a healthy rest of my life!
