Wednesday Loves

Oh, Wednesday! Boy am I happy you are here.  That means we are almost over the hump...

The first week back from Spring Break has been less than exhilerating, but I was so happy to see my kiddos!! 

It's just that I hate my alarm clock.

I guess hate is a little harsh, but I dispise it....big time!

I have relied on lots of coffee this week and that + the Drop 10 Challenge don't really compliment each other well.

Anways, we know what Wednesday brings...

two of my fave link ups.

First up, WILW with Jamie

{ONE}

Last night, I attended my first bunco party....SO MUCH FUN!

{TWO}

I blogged a few weeks ago about my new heart rate monitor watch that I ordered off of 1saleaday.

I used it for the first time on Monday and OMG amazing!!

It's so convenient and I stared at it like a maniac during my workout Monday afternoon.

I have to admit, I was less than thrilled when I realized that this magical little watch alone wasn't capable of keeping up with my heart rate.

WHAT, I have to wear this belt thingyyy.....seriously?

Well, who would've known that's it's really no big deal.

I put it right under the bottom band of my sports bra and it worked like a charm...

it didn't move and you couldn't even tell I was wearing it.

AWESOME!

I still can't believe I only paid $10!!!

Second up, Oh How Pinteresting with Michelle.

Happy Wednesday!!!

Happppppppyyyy  Wednesday lovelies!!!

I'm so glad you are here for the most anticipated day of my whole year so far.

Not only is it my last day of school before Spring Break, but it's also the day that I am leaving for Chicago.

And....I'm linking up with two of my favorite girls!

{I'm loving my new neon yellow shoe laces...as if these shoes weren't bright enough.}

Just looking at this pic, makes me want to go work out.  That is the point, right?

{I'm loving my presh Coral baby.  I just love when she is snuggled in my bed.}

{I'm loving what's waiting for me in Chicago...my bff Shelbs &mots of friend time in one of my fave cities}

Here are some of my favorite pins from this week!

Ahhh I'm so excited for Hunger Games

Words to live by!

I NEED this....

Miranda Kerr....she is too pretty for her own good!

I so badly wish I could pull this off...

Def doing this to my hair this summer!!!

All of these colors are on my wish list.

Am I the only one??

Love this fabric!!!

No EXCUSES!

I'm counting down the hours until 8...I should be landing in CHI-town around this time!!

Holy moly!

Have a lovely day friends!!

Miscellany Monday

Write random and link up.

 {Shoes}

If you didn't get a chance to read yesterday's post, I desperately need to know what kind of shoes you girlies wear when working out/running.

I tried on billions of pairs the other day at the mall, but found nothing.

I am so indecisive and need some suggestions, PLEASE!!

 

{Weekend}

Friday night I literally did nothing.

I ordered pizza, which has sort of become a Friday night ritual.

I also watched The Bucket List...it def made me cry.

Saturday I shopped all day with a friend...found nothing that I went to buy of course.

But I did get some new workout shorts.

 Sunday, I went to church and lunch with a friend and then did some cleaning and laundry.

Sounds like so much fun, right?

{Time to buckle down}

Tomorrow is the day that I am getting back into my routine of healthy living.

That's why I'm drinking wine and eating chips and bean dip as I write this post.

Those things are def not allowed as of tomorrow.

Here is some inspiration that I found on Pinterest, of course.

Happy Monday lovelies!

It's a 3 day weekend so I am enjoying one more day of whatever I want.

Hopefully I made it to zumba at 9 this morning and hopefully weather permitted for some hiking!

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!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

A little late, but I am linking up with Jamie for WILW.

{New Orleans}

I'm loving my vacation!!

I'm loving waking up whenever I want.

I'm also loving doing whatever my little heart desires.

I'm loving that today I took Kent to work so that I would have his car.

I feel like such a rockstar in this baby!!! 

 I'm loving that I got an early start this morning.

And I'm loving that I marked some places off of my list that I wanted to see.

Wedding Cake House

 and Blue Frog Chocolates.

I'm loving that I still have 5 more days here!!There are a lot of things that I still want to see!

Ok moving on.

I'm also linking  up with Michelle for Oh How Pinteresting.

Pinterest:  New Years Eve Edition

I'm still clueless as to what I am wearing on NYE.

I would love either of these...k, thanks!

 I do know, however, that my nails will look like this!!

And I'm pretty sure I will have a special kiss at midnight!

Happy Wednesday lovelies.

I now must go get ready for dinner.
