All The Way From The UK!

Hey everyone! How is your day going? Mine has been ok. Yesterday, I rushed to get to the gym for the 11 am Body Pump to find that the teacher was late. I waited around with my fellow BP addicts until at 11:30 we were informed that the teacher was not coming. UGH!!!! So annoying, there I was again at the gym without my running shoes. So, I did a strength training workout on my own. It wasn’t as fun as BP, but it was still great.

My workout included:

  • Lateral Raises
  • Bicep Curls
  • Leg Curls
  • Assisted Chin Ups
  • Assisted Tricep Dips
  • Chest Flies
  • Donkey Kicks
  • Side Kicks
  • Pilates 100′s
  • Oblique Work

It was a good 40 minute workout. After the gym, I headed to the 99 to meet Adam for lunch. We shared a little popcorn while looking over the menu.

I got a Bud Light Golden Wheat (I had a few throughout the meal and after). I looove these! Those of you who read this blog a lot know about my lllllooooovvvveee for Blue Moon! This is like a lighter version on that and is delicious!

We got out favorite appetizer, spinach artichoke dip yummmmmmm!

For my meal I ordered the salmon, I subbed the white rice for mashed cauliflower. It was tastier and healthier :)

When we got home, I found my gift from my Blog Secret Santa waiting for me. EEEEKKKKK!!!! Kisha sent me a fantastic gift all the way from the UK!! THANKS YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

All kinds of fun goodies that I can’t get here in the States. And, this adorable ring!!! SO FUN!

I of course HAD to try one of the chocolate bars right away! YUM YUM! It was super creamy!

Around 7 pm I had a snack of a few blue corn chips and some hot salsa.

Dinner was eaten pretty late, at 9 pm. I made “Burrito Guts” brown rice (1/2 a cup), Kidney Beans (1/2 a can), hot salsa, organic cheddar and some plain yogurt all mixed together.

YUMMO! Around 9:30 May and I headed over to our friend Mark’s house to hang out with him and his wife Kerry. I hadn’t seen them in a really long time, it was so nice to catch up with them. We got home around 11:30 and I tried to go to bed, but I was feeling  a little sick to my stomach and had a hard time sleeping.

Oh, yesterday’s outfit:

Brown sweats (Express), Tan Henley (Old Navy), White Cami (H&M), Sneakers Puma

When the alarm went off at 8am for my run, I got up and felt SO SORE. I think my past few workouts kicked my booty so much that I was super sore. My body was begging for a rest, so I said, ok and got back into bed for about 20 more minutes.

At 10 am I met up with some lovely girlies for breakfast at Sound Bites. May looooooves breakfast!

I started off with a french vanilla coffee with half and half.

May and I decided to split a meal. We split the Tom, Art, and Jack omelet (Tomatoes, Artichokes, Jack Cheese) made with egg whites. It came with veggie sausage, hash browns and a whole wheat bagel, all of which we split. It was delicious! I am glad we split it, I was fuuuuuuulllll!

We also shared a bowl of fruit, the whole table kind of snacked on it, there were five of us. There were tons of different fruits, I loved that!

After breakfast, I went to the post office to get my passport photos done. It was an annoying experience that I will not get into. But, it is done for another 10 years. Last time I got it done, I was 16 years old:

HAHAHAH! Baby Ali! Adam and I were just laughing at this picture a few minutes ago. He doesn’t remember me looking like that! We were together almost a year when this picture was taken.

New Picture:

WOO HOO, no make-up /annoyed face!!! SEXY! I actually don’t care what it looks like, I just wanted to get it done!

Today’s outfit is sweats again. I am going out tonight and will be fancy, so I just want to be relaxed today while I run errands.

More More More T (Rebel Yell), Blue Sweats (Express).

Since I will be wearing a fancy New Year’s outfit tonight I will make sure to post it ;) Oh that reminds me, if you missed my New Year’s post, you can read it here. I think Oscar’s New Year’s Resolution is to stay unbearably cute!

Well, I have a hair cut appointment in about 45 minutes (!!!!!), I need to get rid of these split ends. Tonight’s plans are dinner and then to a party at our favorite bar with a bunch of friends!!! I will see you guys a little later on!
