Weekend in Pictures

Friday afternoon I picked up my 2 favorite 4 year old's from school...we went for ice cream (and french fries), then home to get ready for their dance recital...

 

Saturday morning we woke up bright and early and went to watch Will play T-Ball.

 

We spent Saturday afternoon relaxing by the pool...which was much needed after a busy Friday!

Had to throw in a picture of Emily's polka dot nails I painted! :)

And Laney would have her feelings hurt if I didn't throw in the most recent picture of her...

I hope you all had a great weekend! Can't wait to hear about it!

Farewell to Fat Friday!

Well...week 1 was...not exactly a success. I was hoping I would be able to blog today about 7 days of a strict new diet, a new work out routine, and possibly a few pound lots...but that's not the case. So I guess today's FTFF is going to be a Q & A session from you success stories out there who have made this happen for yourselves!


Q: How do diet during Holiday's? When you're having family cookouts and grilling with friends, do you eat the same thing as everyone else, just a smaller portion, or do you bring yourself something else?


Q: Is it better to join a program like Weight Watchers and count points daily, or just keep up with your calorie intake yourself?


Q: What is a reasonable about of weight that you can expect to lose in a weeks time?


Q: What are some of your favorite healthy meal options? Particularly breakfast...I'm a firm believer that breakfast is the most important meal, and an apple or an orange just doesn't cut it for me! 


Q: I know "they" recommend to eat several small meals during the day, rather than 3 large meals. Are the extra "meals" just snacks? 


Q: Do you cheat...and if so, how often? I know that just sounds like I'm wanting to fail...lol...but in all honesty...you have to give your self a break occasionally...so once a month...once every 2 weeks?


Thank you guys so much for the response to last weeks post! I really appreciate all the comments and encouragement! I'm not going to let myself fail at this...I know I can do this...just have to commit!


Another question from the newbie blogger :)  How do I respond to all your comments on my posts? 


I'll leave you with a few photos from my "Thinspiration" album on Pinterest!

The Perfect Guy!

One of the many reasons I love Pinterest is coming across quotes and sayings that otherwise I wouldn't have the opportunity to stumble upon. This by far has to be my favorite one; I printed it today and put it in a frame on my desk at home as a reminder that things might not always be perfect, but that's perfectly fine with me!

I'm Loving...All these home decor ideas I've found on Pinterest this week! I am currently obsessing over redecorating my house...the only room I really like is the kitchen, but I would still like to add a few pieces there as well....so here's my Pinteresting Wednesday photos!

I love these bold curtains!

I like the fun colored furniture pieces...much cuter than my boring brown!

This rug is gorgeous...I am obsessiong over black/white/gray/yellow in the bedroom and this rug would be prefect!

I love the design on the headboard!

The sun mirror, and the yellow nightstands...Fab!

These are too fun, and they're DIY! Great for an inexpensive accent!

I love a simple color palate with a BOLD accent piece...like this rug...I'm not sold on this color or rug...but I like the idea!!

I hope you're all having a great Wednesday...go link up with one or both of these ladies today!
