Exercise ADD?

So I can't really focus on one exercise plan for long...I tend to jump around a lot.  I followed INSANITY for about 3 1/2 weeks but lost focus when I went on a week long vacation.  So now I'm onto LiveFit 12 week trainer by Jamie Eason.

Jamie is completely beautiful, cute, sexy and crazy strong - an amazing fitness role model.  I'm in the middle of Phase 1, week 3 and I love it so far.  Although one strange thing to note is that there is no cardio in her program during Phase I.

I'll keep you guys updated with my progress. :)

Awesome Pasta Dish

So I was at the gym the other day and caught a few minutes of "The Chew" on TV.  They were making this super easy pasta with fresh mozarella, basil and tomato.  I was determined to try the recipe for dinner that night - it turned out Delicious!!

Note: I did substitute brown rice pasta.

Here is the recipe:

Trash Picking

Yes, I admit it...I picked two side tables out of the trash.  My sister and I were walking home and saw these two cute little bamboo side tables sitting on the curb with a "Free to a good home" sign on them.  So I asked if she would help me carry them the two blocks home...she looked at me like I was crazy but finally agreed.

So here is the before picture of the side tables (without the glass top) - I already applied the primer, but now am deciding on the color...maybe a nice Caribbean Blue?  or Red? or Yellow?  Decisions, Decisions...

Living with Less

After a bunch of splurges over the past few weeks (JCrew, vacation, jewelry, etc), I'm starting a new goal - Live with Less!

I'm offiically putting myself on a shopping ban - no clothes, no shoes, no makeup!!

So a message to Tory Burch, Kate Spade, JCrew, Gap, etc. - stop trying to lure me with your emails & sales...it's not going to work anymore! :)



Next step...cleaning out my home.
1) TOYS
2) Paperwork
3) Clothes/shoes/handbags

I'll start with a goal of 1 trash bag of donations a week.  I think I can handle that!

Here goes nothing...
