South East Texas and the Dangers of Pasta

This weekend was fantastic! Really. 
As I mentioned in my last post, I would be going back to the hometown for the weekend for a friend's wedding. While I was there I got some good food, some good time with family and even a good workout in! 
Sometimes going home is good for the soul. 

Delta Life Bootcamp! 

So, on our (long) drive in, my Aunt Frannie texted (spell check is resisting that "texted" is a word, but I think spell check needs to get it's ass into 2014) me and asked if I wanted to go to boot camp with her Saturday morning. I. Love. Boot camps. And also, I think buddy system workouts are the best. If someone else is relying on you to go - you're a lot less likely to bitch out, ya know?
So, we went to Delta Life Bootcamp, Mid County. And it was the funnest! So, if you're in the back home area and looking for a very motivated workout- check them out. We went to the FREE Saturday 8:30 am class (cuz homegirl is poor right now)

What I really liked about it was that there were people of all different fitness levels there. As my Aunt Frannie noted, she was scared it would be nothing but "a bunch of skinny bitches" (direct quote) (please don't kill me, Frannie. You did say it. And it was hilarious), but it was a really eclectic group and also a really fun group.
I know it can be intimidating joining a new fitness program (and a lot of people get real nervous when they hear "boot camp"), but this group was great and the workouts were challenging with out being quite heart attack inducing. So, if you're in the PortNederGrove, TX area and looking to get in shape- look 'em up y'all! 

My Friend Got Married, Y'all! 

My friend, Larena, married a great guy this weekend and I think I drank too much wine and cried at her for a few minutes. For that, Larena. I apologize (And I may have bullied her new husband and told him to be nice to her. Not that he has ever not been nice to anyone. And for that, I also apologize. I blame wine)

It was seriously a beautiful wedding on a perfect day. I'm so happy for the couple and feel so special that I got to be part of the celebration. 
(again. sorry for the crying.)
(seriously, though. It was like the day I turned 28 I started crying at shit all the time) 
(also: Merlot)

So.. like in that picture, I guess I thought I was ready for the picture but then a song came on that I was way more excited about and needed to dance RIGHT NOW. 

Theeeere we go. That one was Instagram worthy. 

This group of ladies right here used to be called TB for Time Bomb (only by ourselves. no one else called us that...) 
Maybe we would go after hours and toilet-paper our favorite bars. 
Maybe we would leave large masses of left over nasty food on the door steps of boys who were mean to us. 
YOU JUST GOT TB'ed! 

OKay, back to Austin... 

So! Back to reality- I mentioned last week that I would be starting the 21 Day Fix this week and I have. I have been finding it really easy to stick to. I thought it wasn't going to be enough food, but it totally is. 
Okay, as promised, I was going to take before pictures. I'm actually really embarrassed as I've digressed quite a bit in the last like 2 months so this took A LOT OF GUTS Y'ALL. 

I cannot wait to post my after pictures, as I am sure there will be improvement. But I really wish I had been more keen on clean eating the last few months. 

The thing is, I love working out. I rarely miss a workout. I cold seriously work out 5 hours a day if I had the time, but dude.... 
When I want to eat peanut butter straight out of the jar, I'm probably going to eat peanut butter straight out of the jar. Ya know?

I haven't taken my measurements or weighed myself yet. Not sure if I want to bring the scale back out, but I will take the measurements tonight and post them next time BECAUSE ACCOUNTABILITY IS SO IMPORTANT. 

OH! Yesterday was Steve's birthday... 

Steve's Birthdaaaaay!!!! 

My mom was nice enough to send us home with a whole cake for Steve's birthday. See, I like cooking, but I may be the worst baker that has ever happened. Let me see if I can find a picture of the cake I baked Steve in 2010... 
OH! Here it is. 

Yeah, feel free to submit this to Cake Wrecks
And, I made this from a box. Not even from scratch- and the middle fell as soon as I got it out of the oven. Solution? Yeah, I had a solution. Fill that hole with motherfuckin' icing. Genius! 

And then for our dinner last night, I wanted to make Steve his favorite dish- This pasta, tofu, cheesey creation that the boyfriend just goes nuts for! But, I didn't know how I was going to make mine 21 Day Fix approved, but I'm kind of a goddamn genius and I figured it out. 

So, that's Steve's. Yes, he got the whole thing to himself because he is one lucky dude. 
So, I took my ingredients and measured them out in the 21 Day Fix containers 

And then I took those ingredients and put them in my cupcake tray (that has only been used once) (because I suck at baking. please try to keep up). 
And it turned out perfect! Yessss--- my green container overfloweth, but it was spinach and mushrooms. No one is getting fat on spinach and mushrooms, okay?
So, I feel that like maybe this whole thing is going to put me on the right track to reigning in my whole portion control issue that I have! *fingers crossed* 

SOME OTHER STUFF! 

I feel like I'm leaving out a whole lot of other stuff from my life that's going on. I got a lot of stuff going on in my life, that I'm sure will come out here sooner rather than later. 
There's also a lot more going on with Beachbody right now besides me learning how to make pasta in sensible sizes. I want to tell you all about that too! Remind me to tell you all about the new P90 program and their contributions to Wounded Warrior Project next time. k?

HERE'S SOME STUFF FROM THE INTERNET!!!
