Workout- Week 1

My new goal was to walk on my treadmill 3 times this week.  I would walk for awhile, the jog for a bit, then walk again when I couldn't jog anymore.  It went pretty well!


Day 1:

30 minutes of walking.. 1.25 miles!  I accidentally cleared
the screen before I got a final picture!

Day 2:

30 minutes.. 1.33 miles!  I must have jogged a little bit more
this time!  I found that my workout went faster when I counted up
to 30 minutes instead of down!

Day 3: I ended up not walking on my treadmill because I took my Todds out for a walk at work.  3 of them in a buggy (They're all about 18-20 months) was a workout in and of itself!  I definitely worked up a sweat (although that could be because it was dang muggy outside).

My goal again next week is 3 days of working out.. I'm hoping to throw in my Extreme Makeover Weight-Loss Edition DVD to change things up.  I LOVE this workout!

Celebration!

There's nothing like a week's vacation to get you rejuvenated and ready for another week of work!  It's nice to hear how much your co-workers miss you too! ;)
My hunny also turned the big 3-0 this week!  We were originally going to go to Milwaukee for a Brewers game and a weekend away, but we decided to save money instead.
Friday night we went to downtown La Crosse to celebrate... and I think we realized how old we both are when it comes to partying all night!

The infamous fishbowl!  You need help for those!

I got a haircut too!  It's so crazy how short it is, my hair grows
sooo fast, I probably got about 3 inches cut off too.  I also went
darker with a little bit of red and I LOOOOVE it!  I was channeling
my inner Ally Sheedy in this picture ;)  I loove headbands!

Yesterday, I had both mine and Cory's families over for a little party for him!  It ended up being my parents and sister, along with his stepdad and mom, his little brother & friend, his sister and her fiance, and his grandpa and his girlfriend!  It really made me realize how little our apartment is and was very cozy with all those people in it!  Every body had a great time though, and it was a lot of fun hosting!  I made hot dogs, brats, and burgers, and pickle dip!  Oh my gosh, it's so good.  I just chopped up some pickles, mixed it in with some cream cheese, and a little pickle juice to taste!  Cory says he could eat it with a spoon!

I am three pounds down this week!  Woo hoo!  My goal is to lose 50 lbs. by Feburary, which is 2 lbs/week. I think that is very doable, I just need to get off my butt and stick to my points!

Something's Gotta Give

So, ALL of my friends have been getting engaged lately.  I might be exaggerating a little when I say all, but I just figured out that I will have 5 weddings to attend in 2014.  I think it hit me when I was asked to be MOH in my friend Janelli's wedding and to stand up in my friend Katie's wedding (woo hoo Minnesota for allowing gay marriage!  Wisconsin, get your crap together!  I want my friends to have EVERY right that I have!)

So, now that I have motivation, I need to get this weight-loss thing going.  Who knows, my wedding might end up being next year too!  No news on that front yet, so don't get too excited!

Let today be the first day without fast food!  I will keep my countdown going and do my best not to go through the drive through!  I will cook more for the both of us.  Not only will it save money, it will save my waistline!

I also have a treadmill!  My goal now is to walk on it 3 times a week, for at least 20 minutes a day.  I need to find a good show to watch while I'm on it!  I just finished Orange is the New Black... amazing!  The last episode really left me hanging!

And.. a little internet help...?  I got a new background for my blog and can't seem how to get rid of that white space at the top.. help?

Aaaaand. Not sure why the link isn't working. Sad day.  I so need a new layout too. lamesauce.

So, this is my very first link up!  I am soo pumped for football season.. hanging out with friends & the boy watching the game.. going out for games.. and especially the cooler weather!


My favorite team is the Green Bay Packers.. I am a cheesehead at heart!  I even worked in a local souvenir shop during college, and our #1 seller?  You guessed it, the cheesehead!  I grew up watching the Packers with my dad, and being in love with Brett Favre (yes, he broke my heart with all this retiring, un-retiring stuff).  Now I'm in love with Aaron Rodgers ;)  Oh and Jordy Nelson isn't too bad either!

My boyfriend and I recently did a photoshoot, and of course, had to represent our team!  I'm ready to kick this season off and wear my jersey every Sunday!  We're usually allowed to wear jerseys at work too, so that's always fun, especially since we're so close to the border, there's more than a few parents who are Vikings fans!

Clay Matthews and Jordy Nelson.. our favorites!
