Lizzy Fitness: TGIF, More Cookies and Weight Loss

I couldn't be any happier that it's my Friday. Seriously people, this is a great thing. I am just exhausted! I have been planning on baking cookies for Mike's work potluck for the last week but then found that we didn't have any vanilla...then found out our flour that we hadn't opened yet had some bugs in them. Not cool. So came home after work yesterday and became a mad woman, scrubbing down everything! I felt like I had bionic eyes and could spot any speck of dirt in every corner or stuck on every wall and ceiling. I got caught up in cleaning everything so I asked Mike to run to the store to grab vanilla and flour since I was busy. I was getting pretty cranky because of 2 things: 1) I was exhausted and didn't want to be making cookies until midnight and 2) I weighed myself like an idiot and was mad at the scale...it's true. So in turn, Mike wasn't pleased with my 5 year old attitude and snapped at me that he'd have the ingredients by 9 when I asked him if he was ever going to go. So 9 rolled by then 9:10 rolled by and I was getting irritated. FINALLY he went to Walmart (which, by the way is right next door. It takes 1 minute to walk there), I laid on the couch and fell asleep. ONE HOUR later my husband comes strolling in with several bags and a pizza. I was really irritated because I just wanted to make the cookies and go to bed because I'd been tired all week and wake up at 5 am on a regular basis. So I set to making cookies and in the mean time ate pizza and drank coke. The above 2 points that made me cranky were not getting any better. Anyway, Mike was really sweet and thanked me for staying up to make the cookies and the cookies turned out AMAZING. It's been a while since I've baked them so I was pretty impressed. I mean, it's not like cookies are hard to make but still ;)

I set my alarm this morning for 4:40 so I could get up and shower and look decent for the day. I guess I didn't remember this but I shut my snooze off for about an hour and finally got up at 5:50. I normally leave by 6:30 to get to work by 7 so I rushed to shower. Once I got out of the shower I heard rustling in the kitchen and realized that Mike had gotten up. Normally he wakes up at 8 so I was wondering what he was doing, so I walked out and asked why he was up so early and he responded sweetly, "To make you coffee!" AWWWW! Because he knew I was so tired. He is so sweet. So I sit here drinking my delicious coffee made with love by my husband. Work is really busy today so I'm going to need it.

I realize that I just spent 2 huge paragraphs talking about a tiny detail that I could have stated in one sentence. Sigh.

This weekend the plan is to go over all of our 2,800 wedding photos that my best friend took of us and figure out which ones we like the best and get them either printed or fixed. I'm SO freaking excited to see them all and frame them asap. Also, we plan to watch the season finale of True Blood which we've had recorded for a while. And the best part of the weekend is sleeping in and just enjoying the days off. I wish my weekends were 3 days all of the time because 2 days goes by too fast.

Ok, I want to lose 10 lbs. Right now I'm 125 (ish) and want to be 115. It's been a huge goal of mine for I don't know how long. I was 115 only once about 3 years ago when I went through a really depressed phase...so this will be me, skinny AND happy! HAHA. But yeah I just need to get motivated again. My plan is to start back with working out on Monday and I want to put major emphasis on fruits and veggies and lean meats and cut out all breads, pasta, corn, potatoes and sugar....but we shall see how that works out for me. I am not sure what to do to get myself motivated though and I should be an expert at this since I went to school for personal fitness....hello! But hey, we're not all perfect, thank goodness haha.

I have been trying to recreate my wardrobe, work with what I have and buy cute pieces that I know I will use often. I am not a huge clothes person. I like to be comfy but still cute...so I decided that I will try to step out of my comfort zone and broaden my horizons! Here are some recent inspirations of mine:

A lot of these dresses are adorable! I found this site just right now!
