Weekend Recap



Happy Weekend. Its been a lovely few days relaxing, cooking, laughing my ass off and snuggling with Drew and the pets.  Aaaaaah. 

On Friday, I had a hot date with Drew and we headed out for dinner and a movie. We started off the night right with a South African dinner. Who knew I liked lamb? I had written it off until I tried it falling off the bone and dipped in mint. Delicious. South Africa does it right. During dinner we caught an impromtu flash mob of zumba moms in the plaza and jammed out before heading to the Alamo Drafthouse for 22 Jump Street. Honestly, I've never laughed so hard in a movie theater. Hilarious. If you havn't seen 21 Jump Street with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, then stop what you're doing (well finish reading this) then watch 21 Jump Street. 

Saturday morning we headed out for mani pedis and in the afternoon we bbq'd some thick, bacon filled burgers with friends and watched a few soccer games while the rain poured.

On Sunday, we put in an hour bike ride crusin' through our neighborhood and the country roads outside of town. I love riding in the morning. Its a great way to energize the day and earn that Sunday afternoon nap.

I  hope you had a lovely weekend doing what you love. Cheers to an amazing week ahead.

Diva Legs Workout

Happy Monday Ya'll!   I hope you had a lovely weekend and you're as pumped as I am for today's workout. I absolutely could not wait to get to the gym today. After visualizing my workout and jamming to my girl Tina Turner and Beyonce, I nearly tripped over myself to get out the door with protien shaker, banana, and playlist in hand.  This is a solid leg workout for you. Its challenging and hits all areas of the leg. I definitely felt shakey and a bit giraffe-legged once I hit the weights so I threw in some pushups and pullups to let my legs recover a bit. Check it out:  But wait a second honey, we're just gettin' started! Finish off with this Tina Turner Leg Routine and Shake a tail featha!

Weekend Recap: Bike Rides, Puppies, and Mimosas!

Saturday Morning Bike Rides What a gorgeous weekend! Saturday morning Andrew and I loaded up our road bikes and headed to downtown Houston to ride the Bayou Trails. The trails wind around the water way for miles with paths for runners, cyclists, groups of walkers and parents with strollers to explore with a lovely view of the skyline. I tend to throw the hammer down on a ride and I managed to go for it a few times, but I think I might have to save that for another time. I'm sure I surprised a few runners on the narrower trails, but I couldn't help myself. After a long ride, we cruised over to an open field where the city was hosting a a small Picnic in the Park with Badminton, hoola hoops, bag toss, live music, and a few food vendors.  Not a bad start to the Weekend.  Surprise honey!  Still excited from our ride, we headed to Petsmart for their adoption Saturdays to meet our new dog Marley! We immediately fell in love with him--just look at that face! He'...
