Weekend Recap + Sasha Fierce

Well my weekend was a great one and I'm sad to see it go, but actually happy to get this week started as it's my last week at my job. I am so thrilled to say I will be starting a job that will be a MUCH better fit for me. I have never and will never discuss specifics of my career but let me just say I'm pretty pumped!

Friday night, S and I had a dinner date with plans to call it an early night. My foot was finally feeling back to normal so I planned to run with my group for the first time in weeks. Just my luck though, I set my alarm, all ready to go, and left my phone on the kitchen counter. No alarm, no waking up in time. I was bummed but still got a great run in. After running and showering, S and I headed to Washington, Louisiana for a day of sightseeing and antiquing. This quaint little town is known for its flea markets and their old school house that was transformed into a massive antique store.

 How adorable is this hat my mother in law crocheted for me?

We spent about two hours there then headed back towards home, before stopping at another huge flea market we had never been to. We somehow made it out without buying a thing, but had a great day together. After browsing, we had a very unhealthy lunch. Oops.

Saturday night S, our neighbor JD, and I took the four wheelers out and about in the country area around our house. We had a blast and got just a little muddy!

Sunday was extremely productive for us too. I got cocky and felt like running again. The weather was too perfect to stay inside. I paid for it all day though, because my foot gave me trouble again. Guess I gotta lay off the running for a few more days:-/

After my short run, we headed to JC Penney for me to return a too big sweater (still buying XL's out of habit, when will I learn?) and I scored a hot pink blazer for $20. Right up my alley. After JC, we hit up the grocery store to fight the crazy Super Bowl party shoppers get food for the week. My plan is to do salads every day for lunch and as low carb as possible the rest of the day.

Last night I made Skinny Taste's Spaghetti Squash and Cheese and it was delish! Lots of leftovers for the week.

In other news, I'm participating in Courtney's Diet Bet this go round and I'm so excited! I wish I had done it over the holidays but I definitely would not miss it this time. Basically, everyone who participates pays $35 and anyone who loses 4% of their body weight in 4 weeks splits the pot. I needed a little extra motivation for Operation Red Bikini because May will come quick! Let's hope I look suitable enough to post a picture of that, and let's hope a certain hubby J doesn't post a picture of Operation Red Speedo. Yes J, I just gave you a shout out even though you're too famous to give me one! Whine whine whine.

Before I go, I need to touch on the subject of my girl Bee-yons and her fabulous Super Bowl half time performance. I admit I only tuned in to see Ms. Sasha Fierce and Destiny's Child Reunite..and it felt so good. How smokin' hot did this woman look? Just when I thought I couldn't want to be her any more...

 

May have to update my Beyonce picture in my pantry...

Photo sent to me by the always fabulous, Elle Noel. Amen sista.

Oh and before I go, another non-scale victory! slipped into a pair of jeans and a t shirt from high school! I haven't worn either of these for over years but they both fit, no problem. Holla for a dolla honey boo boo!
