FRIDAY
oh, how i love fridays..

except when I find out I need to stay an extra hour at work..
boo, blah, boo..

still, tomorrow my glorious 48 hrs of nothing begins again..

I am blessed. I feel love surrounding me and the opportunities of today are in front of my feet.

Day 3

Got another great workout in this morning. My 3rd in 5 days. 

I can't quite give up my lazy Sundays yet. So I am completely changing my original plan.

Obviously I already made it clear I've been out of shape recently.

 Maybe next week.

I think I'm severely dehydrated though and really need to put the effort in to drink more water.

I'm like a camel, I can go half a day without a sip of anything and that's I know it's bad.

Once the summer kicks in I get better but it's been relatively chill here in LV.

Hope the weather perks up soon so we can get some nice spring days in before the insatiable heat commences.

Just stopped one of my puppies from humping his sister.

Naughty little things. 

Anyway, It's Tuesday! Not one of my favorites. 

Planning on making it a good one though. 

Affirmation: Every choice that I make, every choice that I have ever made is the absolute perfect choice. 

Reminder #1!

Just finished my first day back in the gym. Just 30 minutes. Wasn't killing myself.

And my face is BEET RED right now but I feel great!!

I've been really un-fit the last few weeks and I'm pretty ashamed. I'm pretty strong for my size I think but that's because I had been consistently working out for the last yr and a half, so what has changed.

Well, I guess to be honest regardless of who may ever come across this blog that I know: I went on a birth control that made me CRAZY.  Super hormonal. SUPER.

And I kinda fell into a blue zone for awhile. But woo, 2 weeks ago I am on a much better one and I feel finally back in control.

So anyway, back to the beginning. I'm trying a simple plan to slowly get my heart back into shape that I saw over at ZenHabits. 30 minutes. 30 days. Blog about it for accountability and reminders that the endorphins are real!

I feel the spring approaching already and all this new energy..

Starting with.. FOOD!

I can't wait to try this Homemade Naan..

What a Girl wants..

Valentine's Day

Peter and I had our first date on February 17th.

The following year, Peter was already living in Las Vegas since Jan. 1st.

I didn't move out here until the 23rd of February.

So, this year.. we will actually spend Valentine's Day together AND our 2nd (1st) Anniversary.

Peter doesn't believe Valentine's Day is a real holiday.

I still decided to gift him by finally putting up a picture frame we bought months ago with LOVE pictures.

And I planned a special dinner last night.

Just something to remind him, I love you.

The recipe for the Quattro Formaggi was adapted from PioneerWoman here.

UFC

I've realized the fun in UFC weeks at work.

This week I got to meet Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto.

He was quiet and his entourage was nice.

I actually yelled at him to say he couldn't wear sneakers on the mat.

I felt a little bad after.

Sometimes I yell when I could walk over and say it.

The gym is loud.  

So the second day he came in and said, "No shoes." 

Glad he had a sense of humor. 

I also really appreciated his fashion sense.

He was wearing a lovely deep blue velour hoodie sweat suit and some nice Nikes.

I would love the suit he wore. LOVE.

Later he told me the suit is actually from his own fashion line 

and he bought the sneakers on his visit.

Which means he took time to go shopping here.

Vegas must be good.
