Tuesday Truths...

I hate to disappoint (mainly myself), but the Ugly Tuesday Truth is that I had to be on the road for work this morning at 6am and stepping on the scale didn't even come close to crossing my mind.

I haven't weighed myself since the end of last week, but I feel like I fell off the "healthy" wagon this weekend in the food department.  So I'm making excuses and giving myself a free pass this week.

I still need to set out my goals so I'll get that drafted and next Tuesday, we will get to the Truth, no matter how Ugly it may be!

Weekend Rewind..

This weekend went by WAY too fast, but it was good one!

Friday Night is movie night, so we watched Rock of Ages with Julianne Hough, Tom Cruise, Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Mary J Blige! 
I am shocked to report that I really enjoyed it.  I'm always skeptical of musicals, but I loved it, loved it, loved it!

Saturday morning I was up and at 'em early to run my SECOND EVER 5K!  Whoop!  Whoop!  It was a perfect morning, not too cool, not to warm and there was a nice overcast!  The 5K was a fundraiser for a local teacher that has cancer, so this time I ran with a shit ton of middle school and high school kids, nice huh?





The exciting news was that I knocked ONE minute and TWENTY ONE seconds off my time from the first 5K I ran a couple weeks ago!  Go me!  Go me!  I was one proud and happy Momma!

Sunday our annual Pumpkin Patch adventure was on the calendar!  It was the perfect day, so nice outside! 




So tell me ladies, how were your weekends!?





Friday Letters...

But it's Tuesday, yes I know!  I only have one letter for today (which I meant to post on Friday - forgive me I'm super behind), so here it is:

1. Dear Work, Eff Off!  For real!  You are killing me!  I've had NO time to Instagram, FB or Blog - this is bullshit!  Back up off me!

Obsessed...

Hey y'all! It's Thursday so that means - it's "Obsessed" day here at StronglyFeminine! I have a touch of OCD, and a seriously addictive personality, so for me to get obsessed with things doesn't take long!  But here are this week's short list of obsessions!

1. Lazy Girl Curls!  Inspired by the one and only Holly!  I love this look, I don't even have to brush my hair.  I hop in the shower go to bed with wet hair and then put a little bit of curl cream in and voila!  Can't beat that shit!

Early Mornin' LGC's...
Post Lunch Run LGC's - still lookin' good!

 2. The Voice!  I know they are totally opposite, but I'm in love with Adam Levine and Blake Shelton!  Maybe Adam a little bit more - I think it's the tats that push him across the finish line first for me though!  CeLo creeps me the eff out - his tiny hands...they are so...tiny!  Anyone else got my back on that one?  And I must say I'm a much bigger Xtina fan than a Britney fan!  Dirrrty (and you bet your ass the more "r's" in the word make it even dirtier) was one of my favorite songs and music videos EVER!


3. Angelfish Sperry's - Black Leopard! I saw this pattern on a friend of mine at my niece's birthday party last weekend and I have been going back and forth about ordering them probably 20 times a day!  I have the what I call "Original - Linen & Oats" pattern, but I'm loving the black ones - perfect for Fall!  The whole line of Sperry's right now are blowing my mind!

 
 4. Magic Mike!  Last, but oh so definitely not least!  Show of hands ladies...who all has seen Magic Mike?  I went opening night and the theater was PACKED!  Sold Out!  Most groups had to split into at least 2 sections if not 3 and I saw some ladies have to sit solo with totally random people!  Thankfully, I'm always early and my 4 friends and I all got to sit together!  But it would have been totally worth it if I would have had to sit alone!  The story line was bust, but the dancing and flexing and abs and booties were OH SO WORTH IT!  You could seriously hear a collective "Ugh" everytime the dancing stopped and the "real" acting started!  I just discovered that the DVD is out on October 23rd so I made an appointment on my Calendar and I will own it on that day!  And then I'm going to watch it over and over and over and over all week/weekend long!

12 days and counting!
Oh Channing...be still my pounding heart!
