Break

I just realized when I woke up this morning that I haven't blogged in a few days. Sorry guys! It's been a super busy few days, and I'm ashamed to admit, I haven't worked out OR really watched what I ate.  I figured out yesterday that my biggest downfall isn't snacking, or figuring out what healthy things to eat. Because I generally can do pretty well, and stay within my calorie goal. My downfall is my days off.  Cody and I generally try to do some fun things during our days off, because we aren't really sit around the house people.  And I always, always, always tend to eat bad on my days off! I need to start working on that.

So anyway, as I said, Cody and I try to do fun things on our days off. Monday, the weather was kinda cool, So we got up and ran some errands, and then went to the store because his brother and sister in law were coming over for dinner.  We decided to have Baby Back Ribs, Veggie Pasta Salad, and Roasted Red Skin Potatoes.  So we spent most of the day either cooking, or cleaning the house.  Dinner was great, and we had a really great time. After that, we all went out for ice cream, since the weather warmed up.  It was still pretty early (brother and sister in law like to eat dinner around 4:30) so we decided to head up to the casino.  We like to go to the casino once in a while, but we rarely ever come out ahead.  We ended up winning back half our money, so it wasn't a total loss!


Tuesday we went to the mall to get Cody some new clothes.  He's outgrown a lot of his summer clothes (he's gained a pound or two since we started dating) so we went to Old Navy and found him some stuff.  I also bought the second book in the Fifty Shades series....While those books are EXTREMELY dirty, I am addicted, and will more than likely finish the second one today.  When we got home from the mall, we decided to head out grocery shopping, again, because Monday we didn't buy any food for ourselves.  So, we decided to take a drive around our house first, and kind of explore.  We found some AMAZING places, and even some little parks where I might be able to find some places to run!  We went to this super cute little diner along the beach, before heading to the grocery store.  I am super excited about all the stuff we bought though, because 75% of what we bought was fresh produce!  We are going to try juicing once in a while again.  We did it for a bit a few months ago, and we both loved it, but it got expensive so we stopped.   I'm excited about some of the stuff we bought to juice!  I also am excited because I bought some kale, and we're going to make kale chips! I haven't tried them yet, so we'll see how they turn out.  Tuesday night was spent just hanging out watching tv, because we were both super tired from our busy two days.

Wednesday, our local amusement park opened up, and we decided that since we bought our house and it's super close to the park, that we'd buy season tickets.  That way, when we have a few hours to kill, we can go to the park, walk around, get some sun, and ride a few rides whenever we want.  So, we went to the park for a few hours yesterday before work, and it was super fun.  We rode a few rides, but mostly just walked around.  It was good exercise, and we both got a bit of sun! 

So in other news (that you guys will care a bit more about!) I am going to have a product review soon, which also means I'm going to have a GIVEAWAY! I'm super excited about doing a giveaway, because I love the product that I'll be giving out.  I want to wait until I get the product in the mail before doing the giveaway, just to make sure they weren't pulling my leg when they said they'd send me one!  :)

Speaking of giveaways, Tess at Because I want to... is having another giveaway! She's giving away an awesome Run Free shirt, that supports the USO! Go Check it out!!!!
