Birthday, P90x and Grocery Shopping!

Good Evening Fellow Bloggies! Once again I have been away far too long :(
It as my birthday on Monday, and I didn't do too much, just hung out with a few friends and went out to dinner :) It was quite a nice night :) I got a few great gifts also, some gift cards to Whole Foods, which is good because I spent all mine from Christmas :)
I also got a beautiful new pink duvet for my bed..looks something like this



I LOVE pink! Anything pink! Might I add, I found this pic quite awhile ago, and it is so totally my dream kitchen...


Click for bigger beauty!

Ya, girlie I know, but I LOVE pink.


Dinner yesterday was super duper delicious! Baked sweet potato wedges and chicken breast. YUM.



Tonight was equally delicious, being a baked sweet potato, grilled salmon and some sauteed spinach.

Then off to Whole Foods I went to get a few necessities. Mainly Oatmeal!! Almond Butter and I got a ton of Lara bars and Luna Bars. Grabbed some yogurt also while I was there...I really really wish Canada carried Greek Yogurt! We don't have Fage, Oikos or Chobani :( Sigh..maybe one day! Also got some Allegro coffee beans..so good! and some Almond Breeze. The gift cards came in handy for this haul :)

So last week I started the P90x workout..and all I can say is..WOW! These workouts are so AMAZING! I LOVE them (well the ones I've done). They are tough, but I feel so good after I do them! so energetic. I absolutely LOVE the Plyometrics workout, It's easily my fave. Then the Shoulders, biceps and triceps workout. Amazing! I did the yoga workout last night, wow, that was a brutal one. Very advanced yoga moves, therefor very tough..but I did it, I finished it :) Felt great after wards.

I highly recommend this workout system if you enjoy working out at home (as I do). It's great so far. Tomorrow I am going to try the Ab ripper. Ugh, should be interesting. I'll let you know how it goes ;)

So I am off for a nice, hot bubble bath, and to check out some more of your blogs :)

I leave you with a few pics from B day night..nuthin too exciting :) Enjoy.






It was a new dress, but I didn't really like it too much :( What do you all think?

Long, Lazy Weekend

Happy Sunday!

I've had such a great, relaxing weekend :) Did a lot of cooking, shopping and sleeping!
Saturday I went and did some Christmas shopping for the familia..and bought myself some perfume..Britney Spears new one..Circus Fantasy



I love her perfumes..my fave one is Fantasy. I'm all out though :(.This one is pretty sweet smelling, so if you like sweeter smelling perfumes then you would for sure like this!

I also hit up Whole Foods, got my mom a $100 gift certificate from there. She, like me, LOVES Whole Foods!. I also bought a ton of sweet potatoes, broccoli, bananas, oat bran and some Lara bars, which I haven't had in quite a while.

Tonight for dinner I am making a veggie lasagna :) My boyfriend is very unsure about this, he is a big meat eater and amazingly has never had a veggie lasagna! Hopefully he likes it :)

Yesterday morning (very early), I went for a 1 hour swim at the pool..felt so good. After shopping, I came home so exhausted and took a 3 hour nap! Ha ha. It was much needed.

Friday evening I attempted to make homemade Butternut Squash soup..and it was amazing!
I have tons left, so I'm going to be bringing it to work for lunch this week :)

Yesterday I bought some Whole Grain Bread..I haven't bought bread in a long time..it has always been my "danger" food. But I am slowly trying o introduce it back into my diet. I have to get over my fear of carbs.

Back to work in the AM..then another appointment with my nutritionist. She'll be glad to see that I am introducing some bread back into my life!

This evening I am gong to do some yoga, which is getting a bit easier :), (I may need more of a challenge now Heather!), Watch some TV, and play some more with my new Blackberry!! I totally think they are better than the I Phones ;)

Have a great week!!!
