Well, I have officially been MIA for over three weeks now. I am so sorry from the depths of my heart. In order to make it up to you, let me share what’s been going on:
1. I took a road trip to Port Aransas with PattyCakes and The Bug.
2. I finally had a bachelorette party! My besties and family came down from Nebraska and took me to the one place the knew I wanted to go: A karaoke bar! It was a blast!
3. I traded in my old last name for a new last name! That’s right, folks! Ms. V is now officially Mrs. P! The wedding was small, and it was a blast! We couldn’t have asked for a better crowd, ceremony, reception, and party. I’m telling you, if you want to have a perfect beach wedding with a tiny budget or a huge budget, visit portaweddings.com and talk to Joanne. She made my day perfect and I literally had no stress on my wedding day thanks to her!
Mr. and Mrs.
Bonfire kisses
So what am I up to now? Well, friends, I’m starting school in less than a week to get my nursing degree. I am uber excited for this one. I have at least one online class every semester, so I will have plenty of opportunity to blog during the course of my education, don’t fret.
As far as health goes, I gained 5 pounds during my wedding weekend. But I ate like a fat girl at a buffet and drank like an alcoholic at an open bar (I had to keep it classy!), so it was expected. I got right back on track with eating healthy (no exercise, but I forgot to come up with an excuse for that one), and am down 4 pounds. Woot!
As far as the exercise thing goes, I’m starting the HASfit 90 Day Warrior today. I was going to start yesterday as it was Monday, and all exercise programs have to start on Mondays. If you hold a bowl under your computer screen, I believe you can collect the sarcasm as it drips from that last line. I forgot to come up with an excuse for that one (my excuse bank is really running low; I need to stock that shit up!), but I do know that I decided that eating a couple slices of real turkey dipped in mustard, a 100 calorie bag of popcorn, and a Tabasco Slim Jim were more important than working out for the allotted 15 minute first day workout. Hey! At least I was healthy for the most part! I also made a kickass turkey and quinoa meatloaf last night that rocked my husbands socks off. Now I’m just trying to compensate for my lazy self. Enough. Workout today after work. Period. Maybe do two days in one. Yeah.
I did take before pictures this time. I want to stick with this program for the full 90 days, and will update you on my thoughts once a week. Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll have thoughts about other things throughout the week too, so I will post more often than just once. But you must keep me accountable!
Until next time, folks!
The Official Mrs. P
