I can't freaking believe it, but I lost 2.6 lbs on my birthday / Easter weekend! I'm so happy about that! I worked out four times this week (as opposed to my usual 2-3) so I think that was a big help. I'm almost to where I want to be!
Easter weekend was great! Saturday Brian and I headed to our first apartment showing. There were things we liked about it....things we didn't. We definitely liked the way it was layed out, but the building was old, the kitchen was old, etc. We're going to go see a bunch more before we make our decision obviously.
After the apartment viewing, we went back to Brian's house where we had Eater dinner with his family. We got spoiled with chocolates.... but it's great because I LOVE chocolate! I also got stemless wine glasses and a casserole dish with a container to keep the dish cool or hot, plus a gift card to Walmart from them for my birthday.
Later that evening we went with my family to Yuk Yuk's. We were in the front row so we got teased mercilessly. It was fun though! And my sister and Alex gave me my birthday card while we were there, which had a La Senza gift card and a Cineplex movie gift card in it. Woo! My sister keeps talking about how small my boobs are now, so I should've expected it! :P
Sunday I went for a run in the morning. The weather was gorgeous, but it was the most windy run I've been on yet! So my timing wasn't quite as good as what I'm used to, but I pushed through. Then I got spoiled with chocolates from my own family. Man, I'm going to have enough chocolates to last a while! Yum yum!
At my house we decided to enjoy the weather and just do chicken on the bbq for dinner rather than a big turkey dinner where we'd have to be indoors cooking all day. It was delicious! My mom also made these angel food cake cupcakes that were low in calories for dessert, so that was good since I had rich desserts both Friday and Saturday night!
In the evening Brian and I started watching Friends from the beginning. It's cool to watch the episodes in sequence! We've finished disc one and two of the first season.
Today I'm going to be working out with Val and Annie, having lunch with them and then we'll watch a movie. I'll be having dinner and hanging out with Brian tonight. Relaxing before going back to work. Sigh. This weekend was so busy that it just flew by!
