Two for Tuesday...My Monday

Hey y'all! It's Two For Tuesday, again. This time, I'm talking about my day yesterday. It was another Manic Monday in the shit show of Amy's life. Go figure.

Let's follow along, shall we...

First, this happened...

There's NO keeping me away from Chick-Fil-A once peach milkshakes hit the store. It's on like Donkey Kong.

Then, this happened, because of the damned milkshake...

I ended up busting out a little over 4 miles.

My goal of 5 miles last night didn't happen because this had to happen before my knee exploded...

Ice Ice Baby

Classic case of cause and effect last night. I had a peach milkshake (my second in 3 days), so I poured my heart and soul into the gym, then my grandma knees needed ice and elevation. I never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait for my knee surgery! 23 days and counting down.

Second, my 5 weeks to cleaning up your diet challenge was supposed to officially begin yesterday. Oops. That didn't happen. I was pretty horrible in my eating yesterday, but plan to get things on the right track today. Weekly posts will still be on Mondays and I'm hoping some of you will join in with me. Don't forget that this week's challenge is to add real fruits and real veggies to every meal. This morning, I had a cupcake and an apple. I'm meeting a friend for lunch today and plan to have a salad. Hopefully I can kick this thing into high gear and focus on both the gym and eating better at the same time.

Let me know if you're joining along in the challenge! Did you do anything out of your comfort zone yesterday to better yourself?

xoxo!

Bachelorette Party Recap: Part 1

Good Monday morning, everyone! Otherwise known as..."I'm still in recovery mode but made it to work on time so I deserve a gold medal and a Mich Ultra" Morning! (That may deserve it's own hashtag...)

This weekend was a resounding success! We celebrated the bride-to-be, Ashley, in full form and went out with our boots on for her last fling before the ring!

Everyone gathered at my house for a surprise lingerie shower and desserts about 5:30 Saturday evening. It was a great time, even though most of us didn't know each other before this weekend. Ashley was completely surprised and overwhelmed about how much we all love her and Evan and how excited we are that they are FINALLY tying the knot after almost 9 years of being together.

The countdown is on until she's Mrs. Williams! And isn't that the best bachelorette dress EVER?! She shimmied those tassels all over downtown Raleigh!

Every good party needs desserts!

...And drinks! 

Name badges.

That's SO soon!

Yummy homemade cupcakes!

Lingerie goodies

Part 2 will be headed your way soon! And don't worry, there will be crafty bachelorette DIY posts coming, too! Stick around!

xoxo!
