Body Pump!!

Last night after a very long Monday I was ready to have a little me time. I bet you can guess what I cooked...........


You got it! Spaghetti squash with low sugar marinara sauce with lean (94%) ground beef. (Don't judge I used a styrofoam plate ha)
 
I haven't really been eating any red meat lately but this was on sale and too good of a price to pass up. This is the one week of the month that I am on an extreme budget. Ugh welcome to the real world Mel :) Regardless you can still eat wonderful healthy meals on a budget and that is what I will prove this week. Well I don't really have a choice. ha :)
 
I didn't go to the gym this morning because this evening after work I am trying a body pump class which I am pretty pumped :) about! Watch the video below if you have never been to a class before. 
 
 
 
Now I have never been to this type of class so I am not really sure how I will feel afterwards. But I do need to continue my training  routine for my 5k so if I am not dieing afterwards I will run on the treadmill. I'll let you know how it all went tomorrow!

Girl Time

This past weekend I went to Charlotte to visit some of my best friends. One has been my best friend since college and we are still just as crazy and loud when we get around each other. The other I haven't know as long but we have become pretty close. Here are just some of the pictures from the weekend. But I don't think they can show the amount of laughter, love and fun I had.

 
My "Wifey" and her adorable daughter. Love them both

 
She is getting so big... did you notice her bib... I love my Aunt (yeah that's me)

'
 
We are going to have to give her posing lessons.

 
So sweet

 
Ohhh the stories I have for you about your mommy and me

 
Auntie Wifey



 
Best Friends for 8 years and many more to come

 
That night my other friend and I got a little country and went to a Lynard Skynard concert. It was actually a blast because it rained (not too hard) and it just got to the point where we didn't care about getting wet. We just laughed our little hearts off and played in the mud. I sure was happy to wash my feet when I got back though.

 
This was such a great weekend. Nothing really beats having girl time with some of your besties. I can't wait to see the little one grow up and be around for each step of the way.
 
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
