This weekend was the first weekend back on my health and fitness stretch and it went great. I not only ended up doing 30 Day Shred on Sunday out of the blue but I also didn't do too bad on my calorie intake. We went to Olive Garden on Sunday and I went over a little bit because I really wanted a small dessert but besides that, Friday night and Saturday night I survived! I was pretty happy about that. It involved a lot of cooking and preparing but it also led to a happy house. My sister spent the weekend and she was happy to be eating healthy and home cooked meals. I have been searching all week for new ideas on what to eat and thanks to Pinterest, Skinny Taste, and Eating Well.. I've slowly starting getting everyone on the same track as me. H didn't even complain that they were "healthier" meals since they all taste almost exactly the same as the full calorie ones! It just keeps getting easier. And I can honestly say, I felt great wearing something I have never worn yet because I wasn't quite comfortable. I can just imagine how good it will feel when I'm down to my goal weight!
cardigan: Old Navy
dress: H&M basics tank dress
tights, belt and boots: Target
It's still feeling a lot like Christmas around here since I ordered some things with my Christmas money and they've all slowly been making their way here. I ordered the first Pioneer Woman cookbook (H could only find the second one for me at Christmas time), a new bikini top (the fringe one that immediately sold out from Target), and new cowboy boots! I own 3 pairs now and H has 4. We are beginning to look like boot hoarders.
matching his & hers. Lame, maybe. But we love it.
On another note, we bought a new truck. Again. H recently bought a 2011 Chevy Silverado that was certified from GM as the previous owner had issues and it got a new motor put into it. Well, it had a few issues down the line but the final straw was one day when H was doing some work down in the city and his engine was leaking diesel! He had to get his truck towed to the dealer and they said it was the injector hoses. Well, after they finished working on it and H went to pick it up... someone had hit the side of his truck bringing it out! And they didn't even say anything! If H didn't have his friend Marius with him to see the damage, as it was on the passengers side, we would've been screwed. So, not only did it spend a few days in the shop for the work that needed to get done but now it had to stay a few more days so they could fix their mistake. H was fuming and we ended up trying to deal with corporate about the issues the truck has and we think there is something wrong with it again. Well, after getting the run around with corporate to them just stopping all contact, we went down the road to Chevy and had them locate a brand new one. And right after Christmas, we signed the deal and left with a brand new truck. Thankfully, the dealership here knew our troubles and gave us a good trade in on the old truck. Actually, more than we owed on it. So we got very lucky there. And so far, so good. Now our goal is to get me into a new truck in April or May! *fingers crossed*
This is black beauty, as I have named her
