Wonderful Weekend

Our weekend in Missouri with my parents was wonderful!  I always return so relaxed and refreshed.  Being around people you love can do that for you :)  Here are a few pictures from the holiday:


Elvir's first fish ever!

So as you can see in the picture above, I have a lot of work to do on my body and what I ate this past weekend sure didn't help! hehehe...
Back to the diet!  This time I am doing a more gentle approach and following Weight Watchers which is a very healthy (slower) way to lose weight.  I go to my first weigh in the Thursday and I'll let you know how it turns out...eeek!

Right now some friends of ours our planning a beach trip this weekend so I'll be sure to post pictures from that as well.

Consistancy is not my thing....

Obviously.  I feel like the last few weeks I have been on a break from life.  We were so busy in the month of April that I crashed in May.  But now I'm back to my normal schedule I hope!  Since my wonderful work out partners left for Europe until November, I am finding new ways to work out in solitude.  I think it's worth a shot!  With that said, I have started the Couch to 5K plan.  I've ran in the past, but always slack off at some point.  I did the first run last night and felt it was a little too easy, but I'm sure I'll miss it in a few weeks when I'm running like crazy!  On my off days from running, I'm either taking a class or doing weight training with my husband.  I love switching up my eating or work out schedules to see how my body reacts.  You can always discover new muscles!!

Ok, food love of the week:  Bagel Thins

 At only 110 calories these things are amazing!  I put a little peanut butter on them, but I'm probably about to drop that excess sugar out soon.

Also, Coach Beauty:


I had been a little obsessed with this scent and my friends Jelena and Nina got me the travel size as a little thank you.  I love it!!  It has a very fresh smell and not too strong.


On a sadder note,  I am praying everyday for those in Joplin, MO who have lost so much due to the tornado.  I urge anyone who can donate to do so.  Red Cross is always a good place to start.

We will be heading to Missouri this weekend to see my parents for Memorial Day and we hope to volunteer to help the city of Joplin while there.

Hope you all have an amazing Memorial Day!!!

What a crazy weekend!

If you had been in my shoes, you would know why it has taken me so long to update this!  So this past weekend was my sister-in-law's wedding.  It was my first full blown Bosnian traditional wedding I've been to.  To say the least it was interesting........but Sandra was gorgeous!


Also, my parents were in town which was wonderful right before Mother's Day!

I've decided to stay in this weekend and just rest after the crazy month of April.  I sure do need it! 

Soon my beloved gym partner Jelena and Nina will be heading to Europe for the rest of the year so I'm going to probably start doing a few more work out videos.  Any great suggestions?  This is what I have at home to work with:



Ok, so maybe the flirty girl can't really be considered a work out hahaha.
