Wednesday Loves

It's Wednesday...the week is half way over and it feels like it just started.

Technically, I guess it did just start for me since I was off on Monday.

Wouldn't it be nice if every week was a 4 day week?

Anyways, I am linking up with Jamie for WILW and Michelle for Oh How Pinteresting...

these are 2 of my faves!

{BCS}

I'm absolutely ecstatic that Alabama won the BSC National Championship game Monday night!

I'm loving, even more, that it was a complete shutout.

We had a little get together at my friend, Heather's.

and had such a wonderful time watching this game with our fellow alums.

{Off day}

 I'm loving that my day off was very productive and started with a 2 hour hike, partially in the rain.

We are awesome like that!

{New Year, New You}

I'm loving how motivated I am lately...

I bought 3 groupons lately...

Livemocha

12 month online access to learn up to 32 different languages.

I'm thinking I will do good to learn Spanish, but the more the merrier. (Is that a word?)

I also bought this pedometer for $10.

I want to be able to count my steps and see how many calories I burn in a day. 

I also bought a groupon for $20 worth of organic groceries for $10.

I have been obsessing over eating organically lately.

By the way, I'm also loving MyFitnessPal and my new scale!

I have eaten so well the past couple of days and I'm pretty sure that I am building the foundation for the rest of my life...

I know that sounds corny, but I am so dedicated this time 

(unlike the millions of other times that I whine about being out of shape and eat healthy for about one day)

Please, leave me a comment if you are on MyFitnessPal so we can be friends!

{Giveaway}

I'm also loving this amazing giveaway!

Check it out.

OK, moving on...

Some pins that have really motivated me this week!

I love love love this!

During our hike on Monday, we were quoting this to motivate each other...

we were talking about how we wanted to be able to hike in our sports bras and feel skinny...

that is our goal for 2012!

How true is this...

Just for fun....

There are times that I have been so self-conscious about my freckles, but I have learned to embrace them.

I've always been told they are cute, so today I encourage you to embrace your freckles.

They are a part of YOU.

Happy happy Wednesday lovelies!

{New Year, New You}

I got a scale, I got a scale, I got a scale hey, hey, hey, hey

Can you tell that I'm excited?

It measure body fat and stores my information.  I'm so pumped!

I try not to obsess over my weight, but I do think it will help motivate me when I see the pounds coming off. 

{Weekend Fun}

Saturday morning, I went hiking.

I love to hike and it's such a good workout.

The weather was amazing and Coral was a natural.

Saturday night was game night with some friends.

Kim, Heather, me.

We played Apples to Apples and MadLib and ordered pizza.

So much fun!

{National Championship}I cannot believe it's already the day of the big game!I am so super excited.

Wishful Wednesday

Wednesday means 3 linkups.

1st up

Linking up with Jamie for WILW

{Vacation}

So as you all know, I didn't get to go to the beach this past weekend.

I was so incredibly bummed, but it just didn't work out.

However, I figured out a way to still sneak in a little vacation this weekend.

It only cost me $5 thanks to my free flight that I earned through Southwest.

I am going to NEW ORLEANS.  I am so excited!

I hope to be making a second trip there for the National Championship, which brings me to my next point.

{Bama}

I am loving my football team!

Bama and LSU are rematching for the national champion title.

I am so excited!!

I'm loving my new favorite lunch addiction.

I love them!

{Curls}

I attempted a new hair style this weekend.

I have always had  trouble getting my hair to hold curl, but it worked this weekend.

I look forward to being able to do more with my hair now.

Straight hair gets old and very boring!

(Sorry for the poor quality--taken with my iphone...I really need to invest in a new camera)

{Blainey}

My little sister, who lives in NC, came to visit for Thanksgiving.

I absolutely loved spending time with her and always try to see her as much as possible when she is here.

{THANKSgiving}

I always love spending time with my family on this special day.

My day started at my dad and step mom's house...

Coral got to tag along for all of the festivities as well.

On the way to my dad's.

Coral is a hit with everyone and dad, of course, was letting her on the couch which I usually discourage.

I think she is too cute to say no to sometimes.

(again poor quality)

There are always lots of laughs...

my big brother showing off his P90X yoga moves.

and lots of quality family time.

From there I headed to my mom's to have dinner.
Unfortunately, I don't have any more pics on my phone from Thanksgiving, but I'll post some when my sister shares hers with me.

{Black Friday}

Black Friday was spent eating leftovers and being lazy (no shopping for this girl).

I took a nap with these 2 adorables.

{IRON BOWL}

We had quite the crowd for the game.

14 Bama fans

2 Auburn fans

and 1 Bama dog
Coral sporting her new AL jersey.

Coral and mommy

Me, my cousin Lexie, and my niece Blakely.

Of course, I'm so excited that Bama pulled through and brought us a win!!!

{Fabulous Holiday Challenge}

Today's topic is favorite gift you've ever been given.

I was so behind the times getting a laptop.

I had asked my parents for one when I was in college, but didn't really expect to get one bc I have such a big family.

I knew it was kind of an expensive gift to ask for, but I got it.

I was so excited!!

{Happy Mingling}

Happy Monday lovelies!!
