Happy Friday, y’all! I feel like this has been the longest week ever, and it probably didn’t help that the beginning of the week was out of whack with the holiday. Now I’m ready for the weekend!
Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite things for the week!
These are a few of the items in my shopping cart right now and I’m waiting to see if they go on sale next week!
Last night I watched an episode of a new show on TLC called Hair Goddess, and it’s a new favorite! The accents take a little to get used to, but I love the main character, Christina. Apparently she began her hair extension business in her parents’ garage when she was 18. She opened her first salon in Staten Island and the show follows her as she works to build clientele in her newest salon in NYC. This show makes me want hair extensions!
Baking is a huge stress reliever for me and I needed something yesterday so I baked a cake! I have a Southern Living desserts cookbook, so I found a recipe for a semi-homemade strawberry cake and made it along with a strawberry buttercream! Dustin and I each had a piece last night and it was so good! Now I’ll be giving it all away today haha!
It looks like all I’ve eaten this week are sweets based on this picture and the one above–and it feels like it! At least I’ve had some really good workouts and I’ll be back in the gym early this morning, too. I haven’t had a milkshake in 7 years (which is when I first started losing weight). I had a card for a free small milkshake, so I decided to actually use it and get one. It was so good, but thank goodness milkshakes aren’t something I crave because it wouldn’t bother me if I didn’t have another one for 7 more years. Now chocolate chip cookies…I could never live without!
Dinner suggestions!
What are your favorite high protein dinners? Tonight I’m going to bake chicken and probably either saute veggies or roast them, but that’s my go-to. Also–it needs to be simple! Thanks!
