Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Elizabeth was a pig for Halloween, I was a cowgirl, and Ben was a cowboy.  We took a ton of pictures for Elizabeth's first Halloween.  Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

15 to 31

15 days until I am celebrating my 31st birthday!

 

LOVE this dress from Express.  Sequins rock!

 

 

Today I was bad again, this darn Frankenstorm (yes, that is my excuse) has really rocked me off my diet and exercise regimen.

 

Today I weigh: 143 (I've gained back 1 pound, BOO!!!!)

 

Today I ate-

 

For breakfast:

2 Special K Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars- 220 calories

 

For lunch:

Left over chicken fried rice and 1 skinny cow bar- 430 calories

 

For dinner:

Pasta, meatballs & sauce, glass of wine, and 1 slice of chocolate cake- guessing around 1290 calories

 

Total calories: 1940 (BOO!!!)

 

I did not exercise today.  Tomorrow is a new day and I must start fresh.  I am really hoping that I have not gained more than a 1/2 pound after today.  I am disappointed in myself, but once you fall off the horse, you gotta get back on.  Work returns tomorrow and structure always helps me. 

Now... I have to avoid the Halloween candy.

 

 

 

 



16 to 31

In 16 days I will be 31 years old!

 

How fabulous is this coat from Ann Taylor loft!?!

I did not work out today with my trainer.  It was supposed to be our last session but got postponed until next week because of Frankenstorm.  I hope to work out tomorrow, but we will see if we have power/if the gym is open/ if I can make myself do it.

 

Have a great night!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Butler's Orchard today to get our pumpkins.  It's a family tradition that Ben and I started the year we got married.  We found this fabulous, beautiful family farm and now we go there every year.  Here are some photos of our family fun today!
