Memorial Weekend

Yea, so it's Wednesday and I'm just now getting to typing about my weekend.  Sue me.

I had a pretty fantastical weekend.  Thursday and Friday I got out of school at 1:30.  That was nice.

Friday night I saw the Hangover III.  I laughed, a lot.  And may have had a small popcorn, with a little bit of butter,  for dinner.  The movie was not as good as the first one, or even the second one, but it was still funny.

Saturday morning I was up early for a road trip with the bestie! 
Best Friend Road Trip
We started our day in Hardy.
In downtown Hardy

Where we stopped at my favorite place, the Candy Store.  When I was little my mom's family would rent a cabin in Hardy for a nice little family vacation.  My favorite part of said vacation was going to this candy store, what can I say, I've always been a fat kid with a sweet tooth.  However, as I've grown older this Candy Store is not as immaculate as it was in my memory.  However I did get some Jelly Bellies, wax bottles, and lemon drops (and maybe some fudge).  After our venture to the candy store, we went into several flea markets.  Katie was looking for a door stop and I was looking for records.  Well, after much searching we both hit the jackpot.  After we looked through countless records, we finally found the motherload.

I found this gem, with Harper Valley PTA on it  You can see what I do with it later.
After our venture in Hardy, we went to eat lunch.  I successfully order the salad bar and a turkey burger (and fries).  Then we continued our adventure and put our feet in the river.  Then drove to some place in MO that I can't even start to spell and stocked up on some cute things.  Then we went to West Plains were I bought some colored jeans for $9.90 at Maurice's.  Then we started on our way home.  It was a fantastic day with fantastic company.  It is so good to go and laugh all day.  Literally we laughed all day.

When we got back to Katie's I got to crafted with my prized possessions I had found.

I had a Sunday Funday with my mom and brother.  We went to town and shopped around.  Then we (read they) cooked out.  We had a shrimp boil and it was a-maz-ing!

Monday I had a wild hair.  Luckily my partner in crime has wild hairs too.  We ventured to the river.  Where we sat and relaxed and may have jumped off a rope swing.  It was another great day.  I am already making plans to go back.

Also, I have now declared Monday Motivation Monday (instead of Man Crush Monday) on my instagram.  This is the picture I posted on MM.

Monday and June 2012.
And for some Motivation on Wednesday I LOST 3 POUNDS THIS WEEK!!!!  The scale had been stuck at a standstill for almost two months!  TWO MONTHS with not loss but no gain either.  It was depressing, especially since I was working my butt off at the gym.  I also got sooooo tired of hearing "muscle weighs more than fat, you're gaining muscle".  I didn't give a rat's butt if I was gaining muscle, I wanted to lose weight.  I'm glad to finally see the scale move in the right direction.

Have a great rest of the week!

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey!  I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not.  My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well.  Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun.  This one looked fun...so here it goes.  I hope I don't suck.  BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN.  I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk.  Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach...  Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan.  I may google that later.  (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too...

New Year... New Me

First off, I am typing this on my iPad and its terrible.  My desktop is being a punk and my laptop is too. Anyways.... One year ago today I started going to the gym. It has been 365 days of exercising, clean eating, and struggling. I have put my healthy habits aside for the holidays. I decided that I had deprived myself all year and I wasn't going to do that during the holidays. I said that I knew I would gain weight, and I'd be ok with it as long as it was less an 10 pounds. I went to the gym for the first time in a while today. I weighed before I got started. I gained weight. It was less than ten pounds, but I was not ok with it. I worked hard to get that weight off and carelessly put it back on. I did realize that I probably would have but on that weight anyway drying the holidays (you know like if I didn't lose the weight) and it would be a lot worse. I don't believe in Resolutions. They always fall apart.  I believe in goals. I do have goals for 2014. H...

Jeans

No matter how stores try to candy coat it, there is a certain stigma around the plus size section of stores.  They can call it curvy or misses or whatever, but we all know what it is.  There is an imaginary line in the middle of the store where no one wants to cross.  At least that's how I feel about it.  I'm sure the girls on the "regular" side could careless, or the workers for that matter, but I always feel self conscious when shopping on the side of the store.  Sure, you get used to it and laugh when you're with your skinny friends and say "I'll be over on the big girl side" and saunter on your way to the plus size section.  While you began to search through the racks on your side, you secretly long to be on the other side of the store, where there is double, sometimes triple the selection of clothes.  You find something, take it back to the dressing room to try it on.  It doesn't look right, it's too tight, it's not what you thought ...
