Step Away From The Cookies

So, it's been a struggle this past week.  Mainly because it's that magical time of year again.....GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!  They are the devil in disguise.  I have 2 Girl Scouts in my classroom this year.  So I ordered 2 boxes from both of them.  Yes, I know this wasn't the best idea I ever had.  Yes, I was dieting and exercising when I ordered four boxes of cookies, but I had willpower, you see, and I was not going to eat them.  Well, that changed when the boxes came in.  I didn't eat the whole sleeve of 16 cookies, that has 640 calories, but I did eat 8.  EIGHT COOKIES!  I felt like CRAP after eating cookies.  So I gave them to my kids for snack and gave another box to my mom to hide.  The other two boxes are hanging out at school.  So, now I understand, no matter how many times I saw it....I cannot turn down a Thin Mint.
These are the DEVIL.  The DEVIL I tell you.  I think they have Crack in them

I spent two hours at the gym last night.  I really enjoy watching my progress.  I walked for a long butt time on the treadmill yesterday.  Which, I walk 65 minutes a lot of the time so it's nothing new.  However, I walked a long way.  Over 4.5 miles.  Whoa!!  That just sounds like a lot.  I just can't believe that when I started my goal was a mile, then the first time I did 3 miles I was excited.  Then when I hit 3.7 miles I couldn't believe it.  Then I got to 4.21.  Now, this.  WOW!
Killed it
I am now at 22 pounds gone.  I am excited to check how many inches are gone at the end of the week.


Have a great night

Nice Reminder!

CMA Fest Weekend

I am a big country music fan.  Plus I'm a big fan of live music.  Also I am a huge fan of Music City.  So it's a no brainer that CMA Fest is one of my favorite things on the planet. I feel in love with CMA Fest last year when I went.  It was amazing. This year I wasn't sure I was getting to go.  I was a little bummed. However, by pure accident I ordered tickets for the Opry to see Carrie Underwood on Friday June 7.  I didn't realize that it was CMA Fest weekend until I tried to book a hotel and there were not hotels in Nashville.  Oops. So I booked a hotel in Brentwood and decided to make the most out of my happy mistake!  So Friday, we rolled into down in a ran storm and found our hotel.  We changed clothes and got ready then headed out to the Opry.  We went to Orpy Mills Mall first, I hit up the Vera Bradley Outlet and got some sweet deals. Then we went to the Opry.  It was a great show, I did miss Little Jimmy Dickens...

Miss Megan's Favorite Things

I blogged about some of my favorite things before, but it kind wasn't a good blog and I quit after a few things, so I thought I'd do it again.  If I was rich, or had a super famous blog I'd give something away.  But I am neither rich or a famous blogger, so therefore you can just read about my favorite things and maybe purchase them for yourself.  Trust me, I think they are awesome or I wouldn't be wasting my time telling you about them. Julep Deep Clean  This is my newest find.  I got it in my Julep Maven box (I'll get to that in a second).  This sells for $40.00 on their website . This is an excellent face cleaner.  It cleans all the make up off your face, literally.  It smells a little bit like furniture polish, but I actually kind of like it. Back to the Julep Maven box, if you have 19.99 laying around every month this is a good investment.  You take a short quiz, they tell you what your style profile is.  Every mon...

Let's get some things straight

First thing's first, don't think I will type something every day, I won't. Secondly, apparently some folks think I am not happy.  That is totally not the case.  I know I did at one point in my post last night refer to this point in my life as a "season of sadness".  I did not mean necessarily mean I am sad and you should feel sorry for me (or offer up your advice on finding a man).  This year has sucked.  And it has nothing to do with a man. I am content as I am.  It took me 30 years to like myself and the person I am and I will not start feeling sorry for myself again.  Yes, there are times it would be nice to have a man.  It would be nice to have a relationship, someone to spend time with, and someone to share life with.  However, I know what I want.  I know what I don't.  And I know what I will not settle for. I will not settle for less than what I want or less than what I deserve.  I would rather be alone and unha...
