Charity Gala!

Love my Ann Taylor Boots and any reason to wear them...I am so in!!!

I decided to wear my JoLo dress to the Gala Charity event.

I pulled my hair up and back. I don't think this picture does the justice of how adorable it came out.

Anyway I tried to get a close up.

The apps were great, I love all the types of cheese.

Just look at the display wow! Nuts and cranberries and lots of crackers it was so tasty.

The event had 2 comedians and a silent and live auction. I didn't get the spa package or the horse back ridding lessons I was out bided.

My Charity is Feed my People and it was one of the recipients. The headliner comedian did Ozzy Osborne to a tee, I laughed so hard.

Here are the auction baskets.

So yesterday I get up and look who wants to play after 4 glasses of Merlot?

Gracie :-)

Today's sunrise, its back to work at the office.

Kale Chips and Spaghetti Squash!

I love getting my fresh eggs from someone local look how pretty!

 

I decided to try a few new recipes. This is my Kale ready to go for Kale chips

All you do is drizzle olive oil in a bowl fill with small sections of kale, swish all around then lay them out on parchment paper sprinkle with salt and cook about 10-15 min at 350 degrees. YUM!

I added a dash of Parm :-)

On to my Salmon patties, just top with butter and bake. 22 grams of protein and totally delish!

I made broccoli small chunks to put with my spaghetti squash just to add a green. You could use pees too if you like them.

Micro the squash with holes in it, and in about 20 minutes it is ready to cool for 5 minutes then scrape into spaghetti.

Here I added a sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese, after I added olive oil and garlic.

The finished plated meal, amazing!!!

I topped the salmon with sweet and sour sauce it was just the right flavor with the smokey salmon and garlic cheesy spaghetti mix.

Dessert was baked apples with cinnamon!

16th Birthday Party! (Photos)

My nephew turned 16 on Valentines Day.

I went to the country to celebrate at my aunts house. She has this great fireplace, I loved it!

He is almost 6' tall now! I am 5'4" and he towers over me.

But he is still a kid at heart so here is the cake I got him with a purple car on it because this kid can't get enough purple! Sometimes I wonder if it is because that was my moms favorite color and it helps him pay honor to him.

Kids. Can't. Figure. Them. Out.

:-)

Gifts....yes that's a big smile!

He loved all his gifts even the Imos Pizza and White Castles.

My aunt and her dog Shadow.

Me and my Aunt Mavis, she looks more and more like my mom each day. I can see how I will look as I age from the genetics. Yep, no make up.

 

You can get this waffle sweater at Old Navy on clearance right now if you like it.

My workouts were:

Saturday - 1 hr 15 min Power Yoga

Taught 1 hr Hatha Yoga after that.

= 135 minutes of Yoga!

 

This is a part of the lake that was flooded last year, well a road. Now they call it "Little Grand Canyon" pretty huh? 

 

Gacie was zonked after playing with Shadow and went right to bed!

Set Starter Intervals RAWKS!

I love interval training with my clients.......meet Kim

It burns so much fat, along with multi-muscle workouts.

I like doing this because not only do you build endurance, and a better body you sweat more and blast calories!

So insert this little jewel!!!!

Set Starter created by Eric, and an amazing worlds smallest timer.

I have a Gymboss timer, I like that it clips on and does basically the same thing. However I like this is small and I can see it while working out and you can make it repeat.

So tonight during my interval training I will be using my new fabulous timer.....thanks Eric for sending it out so quick!!!

Jacks

Mountain climbers

Scissor crunches

Burpees

 

Done!!!

Super Bowl Snow!

 This was Super Bowl Sunday's sunrise, woke up to snow!                                    Wow Gracie loved it :-)

Burring her nose and hoping like a donkey it was hilarious!

Could not get her to come it, it was only about 2" of snow, but she was in heaven.

Finally she came in and decided to den down in her bed with her favorite toy.

 

It was a great game, and I was under on protein but will make up for that today.

Why?

I finished my taxes, yay!!!!
