F is for...

This makes me so so so happy! I'm currently waiting for my Sweet Man to get home from work and then we are going to go out to dinner to kick off our weekend together. We cherish our weekends together and this weekend we don't have that much planned (which is rare for us!), so we are looking forward to relaxing and spending quality time snugglin' on the couch together. His arms really are my favorite place in the whole, wide world! :)

Today I took an impromptu "rest day" because, quite frankly, I am exhausted. I miraculously got 8 hours of sleep last night, yet I've already taken two naps this afternoon and still feel groggy and sleepy. I know I could either 1) "buck up", drink caffeine and hit the gym anyway or 2) listen to my body and use today as my rest day. I think I made the right choice. Not to mention, my arm is still so sore from getting our tetanus shots Wednesday.

That being said, because I'm still feeling pretty tired, I'm going to wrap up this post in a jiffy. Using the letters in Friday, here is a light and fun word game for ya! Enjoy!

F-R-I-D-A-Y

F is for FINALLY starting to see even the slightest "lift" in my butt. My glutes definitely still need work, but I'm working them twice a week now so that they might "perk up". I'm still trying to lean out my lower body, but my butt is almost "non-existent" and I want it to...well, exist.

R is for RELISHING the natural window light to take photos with your camera phone. Sure, it was still cloudy outside, but it beats the sallow look of taking pics in bad kitchen lighting. (PS, I was off to fill out an application at a spa. Hope they call me for an interview soon!)

I is for INDULGING in my first ever "Chocolate Oats" for breakfast. Sorry I don't have a pic, but I added 1 tbs Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa powder to my morning oatmeal, plus 1 tbs SF Cookie Dough syrup and it was so flippin' good! I think tomorrow I'll add PB2 for some chocolate-peanut buttery oatmeal goodness!

D is for getting the DREADED morning cardio over with. I like to workout in the morning for 45-60 minutes, but honestly this is all that I could give. We had to have our blood drawn this morning and I had fasted for 12-hours and was running on empty...literally. It's not much of a calorie burn, but it's something...

A is for AMUSING myself with some of the Halloween decorations around the house. Here is a pic of me with one of my "ghoul friends" ...

Y is for YEARNING for one of the four Chocolate Vitatops in my freezer. Seriously, these are my favorite things ever and I really want tone. It's not on my plan, but I may give myself a "treat" tonight. We shall see. Plus, I was down another pound this morning, so I don't think it will hurt me.

One last thing: As I was about to hit "Publish", I heard my Hubby open the door. He just came in with TWO bouquets of flowers for me. Seriously, he is the most precious and sweet man EVER! He just brought them to me for no reason except to make me smile. He certainly did! :)

Have a great weekend!
