Winning Weekend



Sportline Duo 1010 HRM

 I know I just wrote a blog, but I had an awesome weekend, so I have to write about it!

Charlie and I both worked Thursday night, so when we got home Friday morning, I made us breakfast:) A Thomas's bagel thin with egg, turkey and cheese. Only 216 calories!:)

I brought the food downstairs so we could eat in bed. When I went to lay down, I felt something under my pillow. I reached behind it and pulled out a heart rate monitor!! Charlie had actually bought it for me on Wednesday (before I even weighed in) and hid it in his car. I guess he had faith in me that I'd lose 2 pounds and hit the 40 pound mark!:)

It was funny because while he was out with his sister on Wednesday, he texted me asking questions about HRM's and I had kind of suspected that he was getting me one, but then when we were out at Target he had asked if I wanted to go look at them at Sports Authority, so I figured he hadn't bought it anyways. Little did I know... lol

I love it so far. It's a little confusing to understand at first, but then you get the hang of it. It comes with a chest strap, so it's pretty accurate. I've used it twice so far and I really like it. Especially since it's telling me I'm burning more calories than MFP was telling me! lol.

Saturday I had planned on getting off work and going running, then shopping at the mall, sleep, main street festival, then Caitlin's birthday at Nottingham's. Of course my day didn't go that way. Sleep always ruins my plans lol.

I came home from work and got dressed to go running. I decided I was going to FINALLY finish Couch to 5k! And I did!! I ran all around Laurel, even in some parts that were a little sketchy. I also ran through the parade they were setting up for the festival lol. I was sooo happy when I was done! What a relief!! Plus, I burned tons of calories.

When I got home, I decided that I really didn't feel like shopping anymore, so I slept! Around 2, Charlie woke me up and asked if I wanted to go over to Katie's house to see her and his mom, so we did that. Madison was precious as always. She smiled at Charlie and it was adorable!! I love her!:)

While we were there, Caitlin texted me and asked if I had checked my work e-mail. As soon as she said that, I had a suspicion that it had to do with The Biggest Loser, since they were going to announce the winner that day. I checked it and to my surprise, I won!! I was so happy! I didn't think I would win again, but I did:) It made my day. I honestly needed that money, so it was really good news! Now the scales reset and we're on to the next 3 weeks!:)

When we left there, we stopped by MOM's to get my mom a gift card. That was her Mother's Day present lol. Yeah, it's nothing fancy or frilly, but my mom isn't a material kind of person. She likes things that she can actually use, and a MOM's gift card is perfect because she has Celiac's disease and is on a gluten free diet. MOM's has tons of gluten free things, so it's great!:) I love my mom!!:)

We came home and Charlie took a little nap while I did my nails and my makeup. I used my new "Smokey Eye Kit" from Sephora. It was pretty good. A little difficult to apply. They make it look so easy on the directions!!:( lol But I think it turned out okay!:)

Caitlin's birthday was a BLAST!! We went out to Nottingham's. I had never been there before. It was really cool. We sat outside on the patio and it was really cute. There were colored lights and a tiki bar:) I had planned on only drinking a little bit, but things did not turn out that way, lol!! Charlie and I both ended up drinking A LOT. I had SO much fun with my girls from work. We danced and got to sing on some guys microphone... lol what a fun night!:)

We ended up getting a cab back to Caitlin's house with everyone else. That's when I got super dizzy! Ahh! Somehow, when we were all in her house, we ended up doing push ups??? lol! After my last push up, I passed out on the WOOD floor, and stayed there the rest of the night!! lol!! Hey, I was comfortable!:)

I ended up leaving with no shoes on, walked into 7-11 with no shoes on to get Charlie some Gatorade... lol we were both a mess! But it was totally worth it! Lucky Charlie didn't have to work, but I do!:( I'm here now, and so far it's an ok night. We'll see how the rest goes!:)

Thanks for reading!!:) Have a good night!
