ready for vacation

We’re leaving Monday morning at the ass crack of dawn for San Marcos. We’re going with Joe’s family to Schlitterbahn one day and just hanging out. Then Joe and I are staying a night in San Antonio down by the Riverwalk.

I’m getting more excited as the time to go gets closer. I am just really looking forward to leaving technology and such behind and just focusing on connecting with my husband. Things have been different lately and we just need to get back to caring about eachother and not our phones or the TV. I know I don’t post here much or tweet really but that doesn’t mean I’m not always on it reading everyone elses stuff.

Steppin’ out Saturday

Saturday night we went to the Office to see Granger Smith. It was so much fun. I got all prettied up and even curled my hair but of course it fell flat within minutes.

We had a lot of fun with my friend Morgan and her boyfriend. Many drinks were had by all and Joe and I even did a little two stepping.

5 things on Friday.

one. I’m getting really frustrated that I am not very good at this whole decorating thing. I’m trying to work with what I have because we don’t really have any budget for new things. I think what frustrates me the most is when I have all these cool ideas in my mind but when I try to actually execute them, it turns out like crap.

two. being a vegetarian is awesome!! lol but really I don’t miss meat at all, except occasionally I crave a big sandwich but I can still make them sans meat. I still eat fish, though. It hasn’t caused me to lose any weight but I think that has more to do with my portions & overeating. Which leads me to…

three. I’m currently reading a book called The Weigh Down Diet. I love it. I love everything it’s about. Reading your hunger signals, turning to God to feed your heart. It’s amazing and that coupled with cellan is really helping me drop the LBs. I’m down about 6 pounds currently and plan to hopefully ramp it up next week with some exercise.

four. I’m watching the Hills over again. and seriously trust fund kids make me want to pull my hair out. Except Lauren, I love her.

five. I’m still loving my bangs BUT I cannot for the life of me style my hair like the girl at the salon did. It’s just so FLAT around my face and I don’t feel like it looks good. WAH! I don’t know how to get more volume.

Being cool like– Lauren from Texas

living and losing

I managed to only gain one pound this weekend. I’m not happy I gained a pound or anything but considering the amount of drinks I consumed Saturday night plus the late night whataburger I am pretty proud I didn’t gain back the five pound I had lost. I contribute this to cellan, drinking my weight in water Sunday and not over eating.

I try not to beat myself up over things like this weekend. I’m still trying to lose weight but I’m also living. I rarely drink alcohol and even more rarely do I drink multiple drinks in one night like Saturday. But it was Cinco De Mayo. We were having a good time with friends and I definitely do not regret living.

I plan to lose two pounds this week. Putting my weight at 193.8. I really don’t want to post that number but I pride myself in being an honest person. So there it is.

the fifth of may.

Cinco De Drinko was lots of fun. We went to Ruby Tequilas to start out the night. Margaritas and delicious food plus a little live music. After that we met up with some friends and had drinks at Buffalo Wild Wings and watched some boxing fight. I had my first Vegas Bomb. It’s a shot and it was delicious! Afterwards Joe and I went home and watched movies before passing out. It was a really great night and I’m glad we got to get out and have a little fun.
