Hi Friends!

How are you today? I hope you had a nice Monday! It's been so long since I last wrote a post, I almost forgot my login. Hahaha not really, but I am definitely not on top of  my blogging game right now. There have been some new developments in the job front which have me running around like an absolute crazy women. I seriously left my house yesterday morning at 5:30am and returned at 10:00pm. I love my job so I don't mind the hours, but that schedule doesn't leave much time for blogging. On the up side, I am getting very good a packing creative breakfasts, lunches and dinners to go. :) More on that tomorrow!

Yesterday, I went to a strength training class in the morning to get some new ideas and check out a new format. I also taught my own strength training class in the afternoon. I assumed I would be a little bit sore, but holy hamstrings, chest and triceps I hurt. Rolling out of bed was slightly challenging this morning.

Last weekend, Eric and I were lucky enough to go to the men's basketball Final Four and Championship Game. It was an absolutely incredible experience! The Butler vs. VCU game on Saturday was one of the most exciting games I have ever watched. Unfortunately, the championship game left something to be desired. Even though it was the two best teams in the country playing each other, it was a pretty slow and sloppy game. Again, I apologize for being so behind but I wanted to share all of the fun pictures we took at the games.

Of course, we had to get there early so E could play games before the big game! ;)

I can't remember the name of the lady who sang the national anthem on Saturday, but she was great!

I think we might be related!

We were sweating to death on Saturday and then needed a jacket on Monday.

Leann Rimes sang the national anthem on Monday and it was absolutely AMAZING!

We had a wonderful time spending time with Eric's family at the event and experiencing the excitement of a championship game. Thank you so much Dr. George for taking us!!

I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday! :)

Happy Thursday,

How are you this evening? I hope you have had a great week. I seriously can't believe it is already Thursday. This has been one of the busiest weeks of all time. E and I drove back in from College Station on Tuesday morning. I packed my lunch and headed straight to work. I've been trying to catch up ever since. I definitely have no right to complain since we got to see the National Championship basketball game! What an experience!!

On Wednesday, I went to a 6:30am yoga class and had a doctor's appointment right afterward so I didn't have time to come home and make breakfast. Since I had to leave my house at 5:50am to make the yoga class (it was near the doctor's office, not my house), I didn't have time to eat beforehand either, and I didn't have access to a microwave. What is a girl to do??? Take oatmeal to go of course. I poured all of my favorite oatmeal ingredients into a coffee mug, boiled water in the microwave, then poured the water in the mug, put the lid on, and let it cook while I was in yoga. After yoga, I enjoyed a delicious glass of oatmeal! :)

I was pretty excited about how well it worked! I will be using this technique again tomorrow morning.

On my way to train a client yesterday, I stopped by a My Fit Foods. Has anyone ever been there before? My Fit Foods makes meals that you can grab on the go and heat up at home or work for a quick and healthy meal. They have everything from breakfast muffins to turkey meatloaf for dinner. All meals come in small, medium and large, and the nutrition facts are right on the outside. I picked up a package of blueberry muffins that were absolutely delicious, and check out those ingredients. You can't get much simpler than that!




The package really came with 6, but as you can see, I did some damage on them. I also picked up a turkey meat loaf dinner with mashed sweet potatoes and broccoli. It looks delicious, but I am saving it for lunch tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes! I will definitely be visiting this place again!



I'm off to work on a project for school. I hope you have an amazing evening.

Howdy!!

How was your weekend?? Mine was absolutely amazing and it's not over yet! Eric's wonderful dad got us tickets to the Final Four men's basketball games! Can you believe it? We headed down to College Station late late Friday night to get ready for the Final Four on Saturday. We set out for Houston around noon and attended the pre-game festivities until 5pm when the first game started. There will be a full picture recap of the games later on. We are going back for the championship game tonight, so we will have to wait to see what happens!

On Sunday, we got to have lunch with my parents, watch my little brothers flag football scrimmage, and hang out with the family for a little while. I feel like every time I see my siblings they have grown a foot taller. By Christmas of next year, I will probably have gone from being the tallest to the second shortest of five! Sunday night, we got to catch up with some friends from college. It's so strange hearing about everyone's new jobs and houses in other towns. Oh how we grow up fast! :) So far, this weekend has been wonderful and the best is yet to come with the championship game tonight at 8:00pm!

I have to give a big congratulations to the Texas A&M women's basketball team for making it to the championship game for the first time in school history!!!! They played an amazing game against Stanford, and I am so proud of them! Beat The Hell Out Of Notre Dame Ladies!


PIPES Challenge Update: I have been participating in Life After Bagels PIPES Challenge for 2 weeks and it's going well so far! The goal is to work up to 100 consecutive push ups in 6 weeks. To check out the challenge, head over to Morgan's blog or check out the official 100 push up challenge website. I tried this challenge months ago but never finished. This time, I have extra motivation in the form of a the strapless dress I have to wear for my cousin's wedding in June. ;) Bring on the toned pipes!

Alright, I'm off to make some oatmeal (of course) and get ready for the gym. Eric and I are going to try and squeeze in a workout before we head back down to Houston for the day! I hope you have a marvelous Monday!
