HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!! You have been amazing these past three years and feel blessed that you read my little blog. Love is the best gift of all ๐Ÿ™‚

Today I started out with a killer kettle bell workout with Jackie, I am sure I will be sore tomorrow. Can you believe I am already going on 5 weeks of the 14 week challenge?! I haven’t been weighed or measured, but I am feeling "buffer". I will be giving a full 4 week update tomorrow.

I did sneak in a little strawberry banana smoothie before I hit the gym.

—>>>>side note: I have a confession to make, I used to HATE Valentines Day. I thought it was a stupid Hallmark Holiday that gave people excuses to eat chocolate and by over priced cards. Even when I had a "valentine" I hated it. But then I realized that it’s kind of like Christmas. Yes, we should be "jolly" all year long and give gifts to those in need because they need it, not just because it’s a holiday but we tend to give more at Christmas time.

So like Christmas, it is fun to show the ones you love a little extra appreciation and love on this silly Holiday. So now, I love it!

On to the morning….

After kettlebells I whistled to the Mumford and Son’s CD while I worked ran errands. Love them! Did anyone watch the Grammy’s last night?

I managed to get my toes done today, it’s only been like 6 months!!!

The rest of the backyard may be DEAD, but this tree is sure living.

LUNCH

For all of you who chose #2 pizza from last night, you were correct!!! Mine was filled with lots of veggies, goat cheese, and dried tomatoes. It is even better today ๐Ÿ™‚
