Livin' the dream

This past week was a pretty busy week. I worked 52.5 hours and finally can enjoy my 2 days off. So far I'm still going strong on the 2 workouts a week. Mr. E and I are heading out in a little bit to go to a yoga session at the Y. I'm pretty darn excited. 

For Christmas we both got Christmas money and we decided to each be selfish with it. Mr. E bought himself some new running shoes, and I bought some new Vera Bradley products that I had been drooling over for the last year. We were both pretty excited. 

My birthday is coming up this month and the one thing I asked for from Mr. E was a new FitBit watch to help motivate me to keep exercising and moving around. He researched them and liked them so much, that he ordered us both bands. I can't wait to try it out and write a review!

Hope all is well. 
Cheers,

Good-Bye 2013; Hello 2014

2013 was a pretty awesome year for Mr. E and I. We ran our second Tough Mudder in April, graduated in May with our degrees, celebrated Notorious P.U.G's first birthday in July, got engaged in September, started adult jobs in August, Mr. E joined the navy in August, and had a lot of fun with friends and family.  It was a pretty crazy year and seems to have lead us to an even busier 2014. So...
For 2014, I have decided to do something I haven't really ever followed through on  I'm going to make resolutions, and actually DO them. Here are the main three...
1. Blog 1 time a week- with such a busy life it will be great to have somewhere to process everything that is going on.
2. Work out 2 times a week- finding motivation to work out after 55 hour work weeks is rough
3. Read 50 books by 2015- these will be everything from trashy romance novels to non-fiction, pretty much anything that sounds interesting and can keep my attention.

These resolutions seem pretty simple, so I should be ok.

Cheers!
