Dragon Blood

Good Morning!

This week has definitely flown by for me and I’m excited it’s time for the weekend.  Nick will be coming home, his brother & sister-in-law will be in town for their baby shower, and in the midst of all the family fun I’ll be studying hard for my Series 6 test.  I have a very strict study schedule and I’m already a little behind.  Hopefully today will be slow at work like it usually is on a Friday and I can catch up.  I haven’t juiced recently, so I thought juicing would be great this week to help get me through some of my meals for the Health Starts Here Challenge!

Dragon’s Blood

The Eye Opener

I chose these 2 juices to make this week because they both contained only 3 ingredients and after buying my first car, I’m trying to live on the cheap!  The Dragon’s blood helps with energy and the Eye Opener helps with digestion.  I was nervous I wouldn’t like the Eye Opener because it has 14 carrots in it and I’m not the biggest carrot fan, but it surprised me!  The apples helped sweeten it up a good bit.  I had the Dragon’s Blood for dinner last night with a salad and the Eye Opener for breakfast this morning.  I’ll be using my left over 4 for 4 deal in a wrap today at lunch.

Yesterday I handled a lot of adult tasks that come with buying a car.  I purchased my own insurance and my car tag.  I think this week has flown by because I’ve been so busy with random stuff throughout the week that I just have to get done.  I’m excited to take a breather tonight and enjoy time with Nick and some friends.  This whole car buying process has been overwhelming, but I’ve learned a lot throughout the experience and I’ll be making a post next week to help young first time car buyers like myself.

BIG BROTHER

If you watch Big Brother and you’re not caught up yet – you should end the post here so I don’t spoil it for you!

I just finished watching the double eviction episode and I’m so disappointed in how things turned out!  Zack should have definitely gone home.  Hayden and Nicole were completely blind-sided and honestly, I’m sad that her and Christine are at odds now.  I thought they were a perfect pair and could have taken each other to the end with how well they know the game.  I’m sorry, but in my opinion, Christine pulled the first trigger on that one by trying to get Nicole and Hayden against each other.  I’m not sure why she didn’t consider Hayden part of her team because he definitely was until all of that unfolded.  Things just spiraled from there.  I really like Derek and Cody, but I hate that they went against Nicole and Hayden.  The group that is in power right now…. I just don’t like it.  They include people I wish it didn’t include and exclude people I wish it would include.  I just hope Hayden gets back in the house!  Hopefully Nicole doesn’t go home next.    I was baffled by everything that happened because it happened so quickly!!

Splendid Swap Party

 Good Morning!!

I have missed y’all!  This past weekend I chaperoned a middle-school camp at Waukaway Springs with my church and it was the bomb.com.  I don’t have a lot of pictures, mainly because I didn’t want to put a bunch of middle schoolers on the blog without their parents consent and because I was wrapped up in all the fun!  We were team YELLOW (#yellowswag) and we pretty much killed it with competitions!  Your team could get points for a team member who did something good (i.e. clean-up after lunch when everyone else had left, be kind to someone, etc.)  and then we had competitions throughout the weekend where we got points, plus we had chants and cheers that got points for how good they were.  Basically, our team rocked it!  I had a blast hanging out with a bunch of middle-schoolers and my small group was the best!  It was quite an adventure for this “non-woodsy” girl though!

I made my sweet girls little goody bags with some candy, a note w/ my contact information, and a #1 sticker to get the in the spirit with our YELLOW team.

I arrived back Sunday night and was completely exhausted, but Nick was in town, so I mustered up some energy to spend time with him.  We had pizza with some friends, then went to TJ Maxx and Target.  I was in bed by 9am and slept super well!  Yesterday was a catch up day – so I did laundry, went to work, studied for my Series 6 exam, and went to the gym. 

I finally received my Splendid Swap Party gift from Jess!  She e-mailed me to let me know that the Post Office delayed her shipment, so I finally got it yesterday and it was absolute PERFECTION!  I strongly encourage y’all to read Jess’ About Me page because she has been through some serious stuff and is SO STRONG!  I admire her so much!  Also, she lives right down the road from Disneyland… so there’s that nugget of information!

Here’s what Jess got me:

  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Nail Polish
  • Disneyland Post Card
  • H Disney Pin
  • Disney Coffee Mug
  • Limoncello candle

I could not have been paired up with a more perfect person!  She is the best!

Last night I attempted the 10 to 6 WORKOUT again and yet again… I only got through set 10 and 9.  This sucker can be rough.  Maybe I’m just lazy, I don’t know!  My goal is to get to a point where I can complete the entire 10 to 6!  It works every muscle and I love it.

After my workout I got sucked into the first episode of Big Brother this season!  It’s going to be good and I really like the players this season!

This morning for BREAKFAST I went for a bowl of Kashi Go-Lean cereal w/ blueberries & a Kashi Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie.

Now I’m off to work and I’m excited to do another HIIT class tonight!  That class makes me perfectly sore, it’s almost addicting!

  • Do you watch Big Brother?  Whose your favorite player?  (Remember I’ve only seen Episode 1 at this point!)
  • What’s your favorite workout class?
