Galaxy nails take 2!

I think I'm gonna start doing galaxy nails more often because I love them so much!!!! 


I've already done a post on how to do these...so I'm just gonna post the colors used! 

The base coat was Ciate Untestricted Glam and China Glaze Fairy Dust


Then I sponged on these colors: 
There's no color listed on the Color Club shade. The Essie shades are Bikini So Teeny and Play Date. 

The final coats of glitter:
The Rue shade has no name and the Ciate is Helter Skelter. 

It should come as no surprise that I used some Ciate polishes. They're my favsies!!!










Lazy day

Today was our first day of GRIT Plyo. And it was terrible. Haha. I do not have the balance for those stair thingies yet. But I know it will get better! Kaitlyn and Michele wouldn't let us give up! They kicked our asses today...but I know we will be thanking them soon! 

I've lost 6 lbs (I was also on my period at the beginning of the weigh-in...but let's pretend that's not real). Calli and I have been doing the diet for 5 days...so that's pretty awesome! 

Still praying to Jesus that I can lose 34 more before the wedding! It's going to be tough...but I truly think it's possible...especially because I'm going to do 2 GRIT sessions back to back!

Guess I should get out of bed and eat something. Aztec is already up and wondering why I am not doing the same!!! Dan is sleeping next to me though and it's hard to resist a hug!

Starving

That's how I feel. Starving. Also, I would love to have a piece of mango...or a strawberry...someone give it to me right now!!! 

I'm off today and should be cleaning. But I'm not. I need to get it together. 

Conference call at 3pm. 

Calli and I decided to go to Body Combat tonight....

Well, some fun treasures happened. I ran out to her car and waved. Mistake. I fell right on my ass...and hurt the entire left side of my body...But this gets better...Calli comes to my rescue and falls too. Basically, the ice hates us!

We ventured to Body Combat and now we hurt even more! Haha. It's all worth r though. 

I made a very delicious GRIT-approved meal and I feel encouraged again. So I guess all and all, day 4 hasn't been too bad!


Oh, and the yummy meal I made: 

We're required to take a picture of all of our meals as proof that we're being good children and to encourage and support each other. This was my last meal of the day. It was chicken, broccoli, veggies and cauliflower "rice." 
Very filling. Very yummy. 

I also did my nails. You need to know about it. 

China Glaze Fairy Dust. A new favorite. 


Goodnight. GRIT at 6am!!!

GRIT-official first day



Whoo! I hurt. Really bad. I'm a little shakey as I write this. Sorry. It was worse this time because I was already sore. It was all that I could do when I got home to take a shower. And I'm pretty sure there's still a little shampoo in my hair. I can't even care. Too much pain. There's no way around it. I have to try to sleep a little before work. Ugh. I hurt. It will all be worth it though. 

Was snowy today. They should have either closed the mall or at least had a delay of some sort...but ya know...

Anyway, I took a 4 hour nap from 6-10 and I think I might go to sleep for real pretty soon. I'm exhausted. 

I need to start getting to be earlier anyway because this 6am thing is going to literally kill me if I don't start sleeping more.    

Day 3 of the diet for Calli and me. It's been a rough day. I've felt hungry all day...so I don't think I'm doing it right? Or maybe I am and my body needs to adjust...maybe it's both. 

I'm sure you can tell how exhausted I am by the beautiful picture. Haha! 


Anyway, sleep time.

GRIT!

Yesterday was the launch of GRIT and let me tell you...it was the hardest 30 mins of my life. Whoa! My body is still feeling it! And tomorrow at 6am, I'm doing it all over again...so much pain...but it's all going to be worth it! 

I can't wait! More details later. I'm exhausted and I'm going to sleep for a little bit. Haha. 

Grit your teeth and bare it!

Can't believe I forgot to mention

My wedding dress came in yesterday!!!! It's at my aunt's house...so I can't try it on for a little bit longer. I'm probably going home for my sister Julia's 25th birthday! So that's perfect. Her birthday is the 27th and my cousin Amanda is having a birthday party for Julia. So it would be an amazing trip! 



I was supposed to get my hair done with some fun colors today...but the snow ruined that for me! So we're going to reschedule for next week. I hate when it snows. I feel like a helpless 5 yr old. I need to go  to the store. I'm so hungry...but I can't! My car just can't handle it! Wah. Dan has to drive me to work and I will need a ride home too. 


Because I'm a grown-up...I had to wear this awesome sweatshirt...which I loved as soon as we got it in the store! 

Don't be jealous that I'm such a grown-up!!!! 
I love this movie! I need to see the second one...but I'm too lazy to do anything. Haha.   
Anyway, I'm off to work!

Day off! Wedding planning!

This day off has been nice. I slept in and got to cuddle with Dan and Aztec...which is basically the best activity ever. When I woke up, I basically just sat on the couch and did nothing...and then I remembered...oh, yeah...I get married in May and have so much more to do. 

So I ordered a few wedding things and looked at the wedding things I do have. Including this beautiful ring holder I bought from: http://www.bhldn.com/shop-decor-ceremony/silvery-seashell-ring-holder/productoptionids/2cfdddea-ce77-41fb-bdf9-1bdcb7ca63f8
I'll be honest. It's smaller than I thought it would be...and it's really heavy...but it's beautiful and I love it!!!! I just need to buy a small piece of pink ribbon to hold the rings...which will happen some time. Hahaha. The detail is amazing and the "baby pearl" inside is such a cute, little touch! 

I also ordered this gorgeous blue pearl for my bouquet: 

In case you can't read it, it says, "D & M May 17, 2014." I'm really excited about this! It's actually bigger than I thought it would be and I'm so glad. I love it! The website I bought it from is:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/82865439/something-blue-hand-stamped-custom?ref=cat2_gallery_26


The Etsy shop is Sissy's Pretties. There are so many beautiful wedding treasures on the site. I'm going to order a few other pieces from this shop...but they're secret items right now. Shh! 

I ordered a return address stamp too...because I'm too lazy to write our address 200 times when I send out save the dates and invitations!!!! 


I went to Piloxing today...and let's just say I need to get it together. My balance is terrible!!!! I used to be my "best" clas...but I am slacking. No more. I'm getting it together again! Haha


Anyway, it's not even 11 and I'm probably about to take a shower and go to bed. I'm feeling lazy...maybe I will figure out the color of Julia's (sister) maid of honor dress tonight. I keep vacillating between whether or not to keep her dress the same color as the other bridemaids or to make hers a different color. Eh, I should probably figure it out...


Anyway, goodnight! 

So tired. Sweaty and makeup-free! Haha
