Weekend Lake Trip

We spent the weekend at the Island on Lake Travis again.  It was a vacation I think we all really needed.  This time around it was Brittany, Ray, Kendall & myself staying overnight.  My mom came out Friday during the day to lay by the pool with us girls and Katya & Alexis joined us Saturday evening for a few hours.  The only person missing was Makenna.  Next time I will have to bring her along bc I missed her like crazy.  Overall, a great weekend.  The weather was fabulous and the water felt amazing.  Success!  See the pics below…

Everyone got along and Kendall and I got the alone time I’ve been asking for.  I’m still not sure where our relationship is headed.  Some days I want more than what we have and others I’m completely content being single and dating around.  I realized this weekend that there shouldn’t be a rush on making up our minds.  I’m just going to continue enjoying his company.   I’m so back and forth with my feelings for him and he seems to be as well that it’s just much less stressful if I don’t over think it.  One thing is for sure, we are both ready to go back and do it again. 

My Mom's 48th Birthday - Top Golf Austin

Here are pics from my mom’s birthday.  We ended up going to Top Golf.  If you haven’t been yet you definitely should go.  We had a blast.  Makenna even joined in on the fun.  Perfect place for a get together.  I may even consider making this where I spend my 30^th bday.  Fun times!

Sunday Funday: Take 1

Went out for Sunday Funday with Britt and Samara.  Sipped on some yummy drinks, met up with a few old friends, and ended our night way too tipsy trying to sober up at 24 Diner with chicken and waffles.  Absolutley delicious.  See below.

Week 7 Weigh-In

Down 23.5 lbs today.  Yay!  I have my first 20 out of the way.  If I continue at this route I'll make my 50lbs goal by my birthday for sure.  I had a bad weigh in last week and actually gained a pound so the fact that I was able to lose 5.5 this week made me super happy.  Adding in the gym with my diet has helped so much.  I just feel so good these days.  My next small goal is to have lost over 30lbs by the 21st of this month.  That's when we're going to the lake for the weekend so to be able to say I've lost 30 by then would be a wonderful feeling.  Let's do this!!!

Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight!

My Walking Partner

My newest walking partner.  Poor thing was dying before we hit the half way mark.  Felt great after the walk though.  I’d already had a gym work out but I came home and had a croissant.  Those things are the devil.  Anyhow…I had to make up for the extra calories so we went to sweat our butts off outside.  Man was it hot!!!

Saturday Workout - Mt Bonnell

What a beautiful day it’s been.  I woke up early and headed straight to the gym.  I got my cardio in but decided since it was so pretty that I’d head up to Mount Bonnell for a nice morning view.  It was definitely exactly what I needed.  I’m realizing more and more that I enjoy exercising outdoors.  I just feel like I work out harder and overall it’s just a better place for me.  I’m still going to keep up with my gym nights but on the weekends I want to start incorporating more outdoor activities.  After work during the week I definitely would like to start walking the dogs again.  I can always use the extra exercise for my day and Asia (my American Bulldog) really could use it as well.  She has put on over 30 lbs since we moved from my apartment.  That is just insane for a dog.   Here are pics of my morning view.

I spent my afternoon and evening hanging out with Kendall and family.  He helped Makenna make cupcakes while I attempted to make chicken parmesan for the first time.  It came out great.  I love cooking now.  I should have taken a pic but I was too focused on spending time with Mr Jones so ....here is a pic of them decorating the cupcakes.  Atleast I took the time to catch a picture of that.  =) 

Happy Saturday!!!
