Fun, Fun, Fun

The last week was a blast, but this week took a turn for the worse. Last week was the Fort Worth Stockshow & Rodeo which was super fun. I didn't do very well but shopping and hanging out with friends and family made up for that. Is was a long trip, so when I got home it was safe to say that exhaustion had kicked in. I was in a deep sleep around 11:30 when I was woken up with the bad news that my granpa had passed away. Dad and I got Spearman where we were greeted with many sweet people. It's such a blessing to live in a community where people care so much. This week has been extremely tough and hard to get through, but the kind words of friends and family has gotten me through it. The funeral is Friday, so that will be hard and hectic.

Anyways, as you can probably guess I haven't been working out dilegently and food hasn't been super appealing to me because on top of all the greif I have been hit with a stomach bug. I should be able to get back on my normal routine next week which will be good because my body is begging for it.

Enough bad news, good news it that prom is Saturday. I'm hoping that this lifts my spirits and helps me to relieve my mind of the bad times. After prom I will have to frantically pack because Sunday I will be heading to San Antonio for yet another pig show. I am very excited and hope that things go well, so wish me luck!

Superbowl Sunday

Hey Guys! It's been quite awhile since I last blogged, but that is because things have been oh so busy. (That seems to always be my excuse) Last weekend was the county stockshow, so that was complete madness and took up a large amount of my time. This weekend coming up is the Fort Worth Stockshow & Rodeo which is super exciting. It always feels good to get away, especially when you are doing something that you enjoy. I will be honest though, I don't know if I'm more excited for the show or for the shopping...... probably the shopping. The Galleria in Dallas is really calling my name!

I am excited to say that despite the many distractions I have stayed dedicated in keeping my diet clean and working out whenever I can. Lastnight I did Insanity & man oh man did it kick my hiney, but I fely amazing afterwards. There is nothing better than feeling sore, and being able to give yourself that little pat on the back which I so often give myself for motivation.

This weekend is the Superbowl, Who's Excited??? Not me..... I wish my Broncos were there, so it will be a little bittersweet to watch. Despite not wanting to watch, I will force myself to. I love cooking and having people over or going somewhere. It's all so much fun, no matter who is playing. It should be interesting to see how Reagan (my boyfriend) reacts to the game. He is a bigger Broncos fan than I am, and you just might see him cry knowing that they could have been in the hunt. I can tell you it won't be the usual football watching atmosphere that's for sure. No matter what, we will have a blast cooking and hanging out like we usually do. I have been searching for some yummy and HEALTHY snack foods for people to nibble on during the game, and these are the winners:

CHIPOTLE HUMMUS:





STUFFED MUSHROOMS:




CHICKEN CHILI WITH BLACK BEANS:




ZUCCHINI FRIES:




CHOCOLATE GRANOLA BARS:
