Hey everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend :) Mine was great! Saturday was my friend Joe's birthday and we had a fabulous time. We started out with dinner at Cubra Libre {I ♥ that place!} and then went to Idle Rich {cool bar!} on McKinney Ave. It was such a fun time. Here are some pics {since it's been a while since I posted any and let's face it... they make blogs much more interesting }:

The Birthday Boy,

Not sure what kind of crazy-ness was going on here, but I thought it was funny so I had to post!

It was a great time!! Happy Birthday JOE! =)

My weekend was filled with more... I had dinner with my parents & brother on Friday night, went to JC on Saturday {read more about that below} and went to my parent's for a "Cowboys" party on Sunday. I am still feeling a little bitter about the Cowboys losing. They are a better team than the Giants, they just played T E R R I B L E! Oh, well, there is always next season, right? {Oh, and from this point forward I am officially cheering for Green Bay for the rest of the season...and it's not just because I think B r e t t F a r v e is hot...hee hee}

So, now an update of my healthy lifestyle! I went to JC and discovered I gained a little over the holidays. {No big surprise there...I was pretty much not on JC during the month of December} So, this week I will be working to lose those few pounds that I gained. My plan is to take 4 classes this week at the gym because I have discovered they are WAY more fun! The time passes SO much faster and I feel such an amazing sense of accomplishment when I am finished. Here are the classes I have chosen:

• Monday - Lift & Tone
• Tuesday - HI-LOW Aerobic
• Wednesday - Athletic Workout
• Thursday - Salsa/Latin Cardio

You know, normally I would have been 'bummed' that I gained during the holidays but I came to the realization that I am not in a race to lose weight, so little hiccups along the way are no big deal. If anything, it reminds me of how easy it is to put on weight if I don't work out and eat right. I did not put this weight on overnight so it's not going to come off overnight. That realization may be the key to why this time will be different for me. I feel so much more aware of what I am doing {and feeling} which I think is half the battle {the other half being the food/exercise aspect}. I am so excited to have all of you who are doing it with me!

The last thing I want to blog about today is the recent "baby boom" I have witnessed over the past week. My sister's best friend, Sarah, had her 1st baby over the weekend. Sarah is like a sister to me and I could not be more excited for her and her husband, Mas. They had a sweet little girl named Saylor Grace and she is precious! Also, last Tuesday my coworker/friend, Barbara welcomed her TWIN grandchildren {they are her 1st grandbabies}. They are doing so well, are good weights (4 pound boy and 5 pound girl) and are so cute. Their names are Sebastian & Isabella. And, my blog friend Annalee had her sweet baby girl, Adelaide. Go visit her blog if you wanna see that sweet little face. That's a lot of babies in a one week period! Congrats to all!

I hope you have a fantastic week! Let me know how all the healthy eating is going!
