Bootcamp: Day 2

Yup. Just as awesome as the 1st day. I really like the other girls that are in the class too. And I can totally feel my arm muscles. I'm going to have 'guns' by the end of this. Michelle Obama arms, here I come! =)

That is all.

Wow

It's been a looooooooong while! Here's the awesomeness.

Jobbie
It's going really well (I think). It's something tooootally different from anything I've every done before. But I'm trying to learn everything that I can as quickly as I can. Downside of the jobbie is that I have to work from 10-2 on Saturdays, but eh, what can ya do. At least it's not a retail job where I have to work until after closing till 11pm. That sucked. But I'll keep ya posted on how it goes. =)

Workout
I joined another bootcamp (bootcamp #2)! And omg, it's really fun. We did initial testing yesterday and I think I did pretty damn well, considering that I had worked out with Helen (bootcamp #1) on Sunday morning and was still sore. I think doing both of these bootcamps are really going to whip me into shape in time for the wedding! I just need to get better control on what I'm eating.

Wedding
We ordered the groomsmen's ties! I can't wait to get them! I love getting fun stuff in the mail!

Oh, and VS swimsuit....
So the swimsuit came in and the verdict is.......bleh. It's such a cute swimsuit, but not when you are 'squishy'. Hopefully bootcamp #2 can help on this swimsuit fiasco.

Weekend Update

So last Thursday was my last day at Temp Company. It was kinda sad. Terri and I met Ryan and Tanya at Whole Foods and we were escorted by the lovely Melissa and Erin. Let me tell you, those 2 ladies are so funny. And their love/dedication (slight insanity?) to Crossfit can make anyone question their dedication to any one cause. Let me tell you, it makes me rethink my whole attitude on this 'getting in shape' gig. I'm going to miss them.

Anywho, back to Whole Foods. It was deeelish! I was pretty decently healthy. I got spicy tofu & broccoli, some shredded chicken thing (it was good, i swear), and a small basil chicken salad sandwich on foccasia. mmmmmm so good. I also stole some of Tanya's mac & cheese. No Whole Foods trip is complete without their mac & cheese. And then, before departure, I snagged a FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC lemon raspberry cupcake. I wish I could make them as good as whole foods. *sigh*

And even though I am formulating a new workout/get fit attitude, that totally didn't stop me from grubbin' at Mi Tierra on Saturday for Ryan's mom's birthday. While Mi Tierra is kind of overpriced, it is still delish and I don't mind the overpriced chorizo & eggs once a year. Their homemade (FLOUR!!) tortillas more than make up for it. Their rice and queso were pretty badass too.

So last night, Ryan and I made our way over to Trish & Joe's house where Trish made some great jambalaya. I think I'll be showing up at her house more often for dinner. And then we proceeded to drink our fair share of 2 (maybe 3?) bottles of wine. Which made for a dangerously painful Monday headache. Bleh. Lots of water + few ibuprofen later, and I was golden. I also had the whole bed to myself since Ryan had a 7:40AM!! tee off time this morning. He said he did good. I want to go play golf. To bad the closest thing I've come to golf is Peter Pan Putt Putt...and even then, I'm sure I still stuck. This evening Ryan bbq'ed some chicken and corn and I put some bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers into the oven. It was a great dinner. I love it when my man grills for me. =)

Ok, now I'm rambling. Time to peace. New jobbie starts tomorrow! YAY! Oh damnit, I need to stop by the store too. Got all the ingredients to make pesto...and forgot garlic. go me.

Oh! one more thing. I bought this today from VS.....
in a size medium *gasp* good thing I'm starting 2 bootcamps soon. I'll need all the help i can get.

Wednesday

So today is the my 2nd to last day here at this jobbie. I'm sad but I'm also excited because that means I get to start the real jobbie next week! I start on Tuesday, so I get a fantastic 4 day weekend. I Rule! As a treat, the bosslady and her 'team' took me out to lunch at Buenos Aires Cafe on E. 6th. It was delish. Go there! Soon! And then this evening Ryan and I are meeting one of my bridesmaids at The Belmont. Soooooooooooo excited!

So on Monday (maybe Tuesday, don't remember), Ryan told me a nice story about his adventure at Barton Creek mall. He went to the mall to do get measured for the suit tailoring stuff at Men's Warehouse and as a surprise for me, stopped by the Godiva stand to get me some chocolate. Which, by the way, was deeeeeeeeeeelish. While Ryan was browsing the sweet treats at the Godiva stand, the sales girl (Godiva girl) asks if he's looking for anything in particular. Ryan tells her that he's just looking for a little present to give his fiance because she got a new job. Godiva girl says how sweet and let's Ryan go on his merry browsing way. When he finally decides, Godiva girl starts helping him. Then, Ryan tells me that some random ass girl (Stupid girl) comes up right besides him and says 'hey sweetie, are you buying anything for me too?' This is where Ryan said that he gave the girl the stupidest 'who the hell are you and why are you standing so close to me' look and Stupid girl just kept standing there, smiling at him, attempting to hit on him. Then Godiva girl saves the day. Ryan said that Godiva girl turned to Stupid girl and say 'excuuse me, he is buying these chocolates for his fiance' and then runs Stupid girl off. Mad props to Godiva girl . Because if I had been anywhere nearby, that stupid girl would have been bitch slapped. Nothing comes between a mexican and her man. =) LOL!

That's all. I got nothing else for now.

Oh Em Geeeeeeeee

I got offered a job!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to be joining the ranks of full time permanent employment again! After 5 months of unemployment and about 3 months of temporary employment, I finally get to put my mind at ease and not worry about where my next paycheck is coming free. These crazy bills don't pay themselves. OMG I'm so relieved.

In other news, I've slightly fallen off the workout wagon. But I plan on getting back on. I say this as I'm drinking a bottle of Sol. But in my defense, I didn't really drink last night with Ryan's sister (she only had Budweiser and I don't do Budweister...bleh). I have some fun menus possibly planned for this week, just gotta get to the store.

Weekend Recap!

This weekend was pretty damn awesome. I will highlight by bullet points. =)

Friday
-Ate delicious Chick-Fil-A junk food...mmmm
-Went to my brother's Senior Salute concert. It was awesome. The band he was in even played a piece that I played one year for UIL. Ahhh...band nerd memories..

Saturday
-BOOTCAMP! It was fan-freakin-tastic. It really got me going that morning.
-Picked up 4 of the BM dress from Alfred Angelo. They turned out soooo well. Now just need to give them to everyone so they can be tried on
-Saw Sarah and talked to her about wedding day BM makeup & talked to her about her wedding
-Napped
-Made cookie dough for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes & then made said cupcakes for my Mommy's Mother's Day present

Sunday
-Woke up early and decorated the cupcakes (pics on my camera, I'll download them eventually)
-Went to my parents house for lunch & to see my parents off (they were trekking to the Valley for some family issues)
-Ventured over to Barton Creek Mall where we found Ryan a new suit for the wedding. He is going to look soooo good! And if anyone sees a fuschia paisley print tie, PLEASE let me know where.
-Found the Dad's ties at Men's warehouse also! So glad that is check off.
-AAAAAAAAAAND We finally registered somewhere! We registered at Williams Sonoma and it was so much fun. I know some of the big ticket items we probably wont get, but a girl can dream. But honestly, I'm excited about all the little kitchen gadgets we registered for. As silly as it is, what I really want off the registery is the 10 piece glass mixing bowl set and the Cupcakes cookbook. I would be a happy camper with just that. =)
-Had dinner at Kenobi w/ Jennifer!! That was delish!

Now I just need to order the groomsmen's ties.
