New Me

I'm not sure what's come over me, but seriously, I have the fever.....and no, I don't mean Baby Fever! I have the WORKOUT fever! Like crazy. All I want to do lately is eat healthy, watch my calories, work out....lose calories. I can't wait to step on the scale in the morning. It's like I'm a whole new girl.
I blame it on my Florida Trip.....and also Shannon Dew over at Life After I "Dew". She started this whole Beach Body thing, and I just can't get enough of health and fitness now.
I'm trying to learn as much as I can about working out....learning new and different moves. Each day, trying to beat my calories burned by just a little bit. It's like a personal goal that I have every day. And I love it.
I'm at a weight now where I've been at kind of a plateau. My lowest weight, before we went to FL back in April was 115 lbs. I'm 5'1" so for me, that was like the skinniest I've been since High School and I was loving the way my body looked! Specially since having a baby...I was so happy and excited that I was happy to get my tummy looking half way normal!
But here me when I say, that after a vacation....I wasn't too happy with my body. I gained about 4 lbs on vacation (normal, I know) but since then it's just been packing on. And today, I'm at 123.4. And we're leaving for Disney World in just 17 short days.....I know I'm probably not going to get myself almost 8 lbs lighter in that amount of time (healthy) so all that I can do is work out and eat right and see where that gets me. So, that's what I'm going to do!! I've been using MFP like a mad woman! (username: crystalseed) Follow me!!!
And my Husband bought me a Nutribullet for my birthday, so I've been obsessed with making smoothies. That's all I've been having for breakfast! And I love it! Keeps me full for hours, and it's pretty low cal, AND HEALTHY!! So, if you have any good smoothie recipes that you'd like to give me, I'm open to any and all!

Coach Trip with the Ladies

I'm not a Purse Junkie.
I swear, I'm not. But when I see a purse that I love and I absolutely have to have, well...I buy it.
One of my BFF's, who I'm lucky enough to work with, got a SA-Weet Coach Purse for Christmas that I fell in love with.

So, we took a trip to our nearest Outlet center and did a little shopping. They didn't have the purple animal print, nor did they have the green or pink that I was hoping for either...so I had to "settle" with the black.

Trust me when I say, it wasn't settling at all. I'm absolutely in love with this purse!!! It's the perfect carryall purse for me. No inside pockets, which call me crazy, but that's the way I like it. Everything all in 1 spot. And, best of all...I only paid $65 bucks for it! SCORE!!!

My Mother In Law came over later that day, and I showed her, and she fell in love too.

Well, the small purse actually snaps into the inside of the large tote....and when I got it home and went to show Andy, one of the snaps broke off the inside of the large tote. It didn't rip it or anything, the snap just came off. So I'm going back on Wednesday to exchange it. And my mother in law wants one. 

So, I'm actually thinking of getting a wallet too....Idk, we shall see.

What's your favorite Coach purse, or do you prefer a different style or brand?? I used to be addicted to Chanel!
