Weekend Update

This is gonna be short & to the point...
WHY IS IT MONDAY ALREADY?!?!? I took the most perfect Sunday afternoon nap yesterday for 2 hours and it came back to laugh in my face at 1am this morning when I couldn't fall asleep.
 
My weekend was pretty great. Work Christmas party Friday night, walked in a parade Saturday night then yesterday was a huge celebration with my re-baptism. It was a low-key but filled with friends and family. It's so funny how I have become such a homebody these days. This time last year you couldn't keep me at home on the weekends, I was a wild woman still trying to find my happy. I know I am getting older (and maybe lame) because I actually look forward to going home and cuddling up with Tilly to watch How I Met Your Mother reruns. Maybe it's because it has rained for a week straight. Whatever the reason, I am definitely not mad about it.

Thank you all for your sweet comments about my baptism from Friday! It means so much to me to have your support. Y'all are the best! But surely you know that by now, since I cannot stop saying it! :) Some of my closest friends and family came to watch me too. It was such a time of happiness!

Oh yeah and I lost 5 lbs last week!!!! That's a total of 11 lbs down. It feels really good, but I still have a long way to go. Baby steps. I just want to whine sometimes and say that weight loss is tough, but I won't today. I'll just take my 11 lbs and smile!

You can find me on Instagram {nikkib918} to see my pictures from the weekend! I'm off to a meeting. Thankful for a 4 day workweek!!

I just submitted my time off request so as long as it gets approved, which it should, then I am also having a 4 day workweek as well! YIPPEE. Damn girl, 11 lbs? That's fucking awesome! Keep up the good work! Like you said, sometimes you just want to whine about it because let's get real, this shit sucks sometimes lol, but stay strong! If you made this much progress by now, imagine how far you will be in 3 months or 6 months! (HELLO SUMMER) So proud of you chica! XO

Congrats on losing the weight!! I become a huge homebody in the winter! The idea of dragging the kids out and myself in the cold is totally unappealing to me!

I'm all about nights at home lately. Add the freezing cold temps and nothing sounds more inviting than comfy clothes, a blanket and the couch! :)

Nice job on the weight loss!!

Congrats on the weight loss!! It is hard, girl but you are doing it! Staying home and snuggling with the pups is best, especially in this crazy weather.
