Busy Little Bee

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks since I've updated my blog! Time sure flies when you're having fun...or swamped out of your mind...whichever works best for you.

It's been a great week and half so far! Last weekend I ran away to the states for a few days and crashed with one of my besties. I  had an absolute blast! We did a bit of shopping, went to an awesome indoor trampoline park (my glutes still haven't forgiven me...), relaxed in the pool and hot tub and, you guessed it, ate out. Alot.

I promised myself that I would be a good girl and I took all my WeightWatchers info and trackers with me. I tried to keep my balance with my points during the day so I could splurge a bit in the evenings. I knew I would be eating alot of rich foods not normally in my diet and shot for the goal of not going up on the scales. I came back home Monday morning and the next evening went to my meeting. I admit I was a little nervous stepping up to that scale, and was very happy to learn I had dropped...0.2lbs.

Ok, so I wasn't overly thrilled at such a small number, but was still pretty proud of myself that I had had an amazing weekend with a friend, ate some of my favorite things and still DROPPED! The fact I didn't gain made me very happy!

I've kicked it back into full gear this week and have dragged my ever-shrinking behind to the gym the last few mornings. I can tell you this...working out first thing in the morning has made a huge difference in the run of my day! I take about a half hour of just exercising and then do some stretching and take my time getting ready for my day at the gym. I find myself more focused and energetic for whatever comes my way during the day.

Yesterday my very sweet mother-in-law to be and her family threw me a beautiful bridal shower! It was such a fun afternoon, and they didn't try to embarrass the bride too much!

Today is Monday and it's the start of a very busy week (what else is new...) I have alot of the wedding planning finalized and hopefully this week sees the finalization of a few more things. Like invitations. Creativity is not always my strong point, so if you get a piece of printer paper with what appears to be an invitation to some form of event scrawled in crayon and surrounded by coffee stains...trust me, it's legit.
