I figured I would blog since I have a few minutes before I head to the gym. So far the gym has been good and something that I'm going to make a habit out of. I took three months off and it caught up to me. It was hard, we were going late at night, coming home even later which made for a short nights rest, it just wasn't working the way it should have.
This week I've been going when I get off work and The Mr. is going in the morning before work. We're both home in the evening, both able to make dinner and spend time together, it's nice. Going at separate times has worked the best and I think it's going to last. We're also making sure we're eating better, 5 small meals a day, and drinking lots more water! I've lost 3lbs so far, I know it's not much, but it's some.
Now it's the weekend and staying on track during the weekend is always a challenge. We tend to be busy and always seem to be surrounded by good food. I just need to remember small portions and stop when I'm full.
We have a fun weekend planned and I'm excited! More details to come!
Okay, I need to grab a quick breakfast. I'll blog more later!
Until next time,
quick notes

Making new habits!
I just put new scents in my scentsy warmers. I love this stuff so much, it makes me happy. Right now the apartment smells of cherry limeaid; the bathroom smells of cranberry spice and our bedroom smells of pelrino. All of them are amazing! I try to always add a manly smell somewhere in the house, this week it's the bedroom; I normally put it in the bathroom, but I thought I would mix it up a little today.
Today is day three back at the gym. It feels so good! I'm glad I decided to go back even though its been kicking my butt. Yesterday I tried Zumba, today I did Step; and boy did I get a work out. I would much rather do group workouts then to take 30 minutes on the elliptical. Don't get me wrong, I'd do it if I had to, but these last two days have been so awesome, and they go so quickly; before I know it, I've worked out for an hour and have burned a ton of calories! Tomorrow I'm going to go do strength training, Thursday I'm going to back to Step, Friday I'm going to do Zumba and strength training. I plan on keeping this schedule every week! I'm excited!
We've been eating better too. I'm taking my own lunches to work and making healthier choices for dinner. Speaking of, The Mr. made dinner last night and it was SO good! I was super suprised; I went to Zumba at 5:45 and got home around 7, with dinner all done, my drink waiting for me and all my scentsy warmers were turned on. He's amazing!
Other then that not much is going on. Just trying to get back into shape and trying to make a habit of going to the gym. I'm going to do this!

Clean...clean...clean
The apartment is clean and organized, the bathroom is spotless, the laundry is almost done and the garage looks amazing! We spent this weekend cleaning, literally. All day Saturday and most of today was spent cleaning, throwing stuff away, and just getting the apartment a little more organized. It feels good. The Mr. didn't have as much fun as I did, but he lived. There were a few intense moments, but we're still dating, so that's a good sign, right? It was like a test of our relationship. Yesterday wasn't bad, he was down in the garage, I was upstairs and we really didn't see each other except for meal times. Today, now that's a different story. Everything we did was upstairs, and well, it didn't go so well. It was hot, he was grumpy, which made me grumpy, and there was stuff everywhere. But now, all is put away, all is organized and all is well in the apartment. I don't think we'll be cleaning for awhile, but I really want to organized the bedroom. I keep telling myself to take one step at a time. I always have to remind myself that he lived here for 3 years by himself, that he's a guy and that staying clean and organized is not in his genes. I think he's satisfied with everything we accomplished this weekend, he just won't admit it. Once again, he's a guy.
Last night, after the sun went down, we went to the pool. It was still about 80 degree's out, the water was perfect and so was the evening. I love swimming and really don't do it enough. It was a great way to cool off and just relax after a busy day. And we had some much needed boyfriend-girlfriend time.
My lilies are dying and it makes me so sad. I know I've had them for over a week, but they were so beautiful. I walked out of the bedroom this morning and one fell right in front of me. We laughed because I had just said "Awwww, my lilies are dying!" It was as if it was planned for it to fall right then.
I, once again, have been working on backgrounds and headers. I think the one I have now is my favorite. Pink and black are my two favorite colors too! I think it goes well together.
It's back to work tomorrow, the weekends fly by so fast, especially when we stay busy. It's going to be warm this week, so that gives us lots of chances to play outside and soak up some sun! I want to find some new parks to play at, I'm going to research that this week. I know we're going to go to story time too, we haven't been for two weeks, last time we tried to go, the Reptile Man was there and so were 200 other people!
I'm not sure what this week holds, but I do know I am going back to the gym. I am going to try to make it some classes to workout; one is a step class and the other is a cardio aerobic class. I'm excited! I'm really pumped to get back to working out. It's been awhile since we've been to the gym, and I can totally feel the difference in my body and the way I used to feel after working out. It's time to get back in gear.

Something new
In the process of learning to create my own blog background I discovered digital scrapbooking. I've never actually got into scrapbooking, but have always thought it was cool. I don't have the space or even the time to do that, I never print my pictures and Lord knows if I started it, I probably wouldn't finish it. I have all my pictures on my computer so digital scrapbooking is the answer from God, I swear. Some people are so creative and have put so much time into their work, I can only imagine what their real scrapbooks looks like.
I've researched some sites and have found a really awesome program that works well with digital scrapbooking. It actually does the work for you, as far as uploading it to the website, you just have to create the pages. You can then print books of your work, calendars and cards. I'm hooked! It's kind of bland right now as I'm just getting the hang of it, but I'm really enjoying it.
I've added a link to my scrapblog on top of my page, check it out! I've started with simple things, and will be adding more soon. If you want to create your own scrapblog, click here.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I am!

Party anyone?
Shame on me for:
- Not going to the gym anymore.
- Not cooking dinner twice in one week.
- Being grumpy while we were grocery shopping.
- Not sticking to that diet I started months ago.
- Not getting my oil changed on time.
- Not folding the laundry that's in the dryer.
- Not making Devin's bed and leaving the sheets in the dryer for Jenn.
Okay, I'm done having my pity party; and thanks for joining me!
Tomorrow, I will:
- Sleep in.
- Fold the laundry.
- Go work out. (I'm dead set on this.)
- Make dinner.
- And maybe get my oil changed. :-)
I am thankful for the weekend and hope it goes slow! I need to catch up on sleep; we have nothing to do other then clean and go to the gym. I told The Mr. it's time to stop talking about going back, that we actually NEED to go back. So...that's what I'm doing tomorrow!!
Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your weekend and stay cool!
