Case of the Mondays

This quote is in honor of my one year anniversary last week with my man. He put this quote on the flowers he sent me the first week we were together. :) It's so true and wonderful.

Oh my gosh, you guys! I want to cry. How sweet is that???????
{Don't mind me. I'm just a sappy mess right now.}

Okay...my words to live by for this week...

Since Mary & I started our healthy life plan, I have gained and lost the same 4 pounds over...and over...and over...and over again. It's been very, very frustrating - to say the least. So, this is has become my daily mantra the past few weeks. Mary knows when I get frustrated to just remind me of this, which I am ever so grateful for, and it helps to get me through the tough days!
So, if you're ever having "one of those days," just remember that you'll get a second chance tomorrow!

More Than Words

First things first...

I hope your morning felt like fall because ours sure did!

This healthy lifestyle is definitely something you have to wake up every day and choose to follow. Having to make the right choices when out to eat or out on the town is tough. It helps that I have Cassie sending me reminder posts of why we're doing this and to make good choices. This is why I chose this quote this week. We've only just begun, but we're going to keep it up!

This is my quote for the week in reflection of what I accomplished last week through healthy eating and daily exercise. I have to remember {read as: remind myself multiple times a day} that if I have a goal, I need to do something about it. The goal is not going to achieve itself sitting all nice and pretty on the shelf. 

So, Mary and I have made it thought week one of our new and improved lives. The honeymoon phase of working out and making good choices is over. Now, it's time to get down to business and stay committed!

Happies & Crappies

Happies

As long as the rain holds off for the rest of the weekend, Cassie and her husband get to finally have their photo shoot that was rescheduled from August!

Mary was productive this week and applied for quite a few jobs!

Mary also started a new craft, coffee table makeover! (Will post pictures when done!)

Mary & Cassie are going to be participating in the #SwiftlyPainted Self Portrait Challenge starting October 1. {If you're interested, you can read more about it here.}

Mary is back from her whirlwind vacation, and Cassie missed her!

{although, Mary'll probably say being back from vacation is a crappy. ;)}

Cassie is brunette again...and just in time for fall!

Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back.
