It was a great weekend. It really was. Low-key, I decompressed & soaked it in. I cleaned, caught up on sleep, went to church with my new work friend & had brunch at the Flying Biscuit again with Lauren. We really tried to make it to One Day, but the wait for brunch was too long and we were hungry.

I am on a total brunch kick lately! I love a good breakfast of eggs, grits, biscuits, sausage.... etc. Next weekend we are trying J.Christopher's. We have several in our neighborhood!

I started working out with a trainer at our new Urban Active gym about 8 weeks ago. He's really funny and very helpful. He plans out my workouts on days that I don't see him & he also plans out my weekly calorie allotments based on my activity level for that day. Based on my weight, BMI & activity levels, I now finally know how many calories to eat and it turned out that I wasn't eating enough sometimes & over-consuming others. There were some days when I would put in an hour at the gym and not eat over 1200 calories... very bad and can actually cause the body to hold onto fat because it's in starvation mode. I am trailing off... but point of what I am trying to say is that it's been a great investment for me & I am so excited that in 8 weeks, I have lost 4% body fat! My trainer was pleased with my progress.... steady... not too drastic...it definitely pumped me up to keep going to attain my goals! 

 

Anyone tried Bad Gal Lash by Benefit? I spent two hours in ULTA on Sunday afternoon (yes, 2 hours!) and walked out with hair pins and mascara. 

 

Don't mind me in this photo... look more so at the hair part. I have worn my hair in the side part with swoop bangs for the past five years & just wanted to try something new! I liked it!
