Watch Out Chicago

Happy Friday Eve everyone! I am totally not ready for this weekend to come yet.  I am headed to Chicago for one of my friend’s bachelorette parties and I don’t even have a dress to wear yet.  I need to do some serious digging in my closet to find something that’s cute and FITS.  I don’t know why I’m waiting until the last minute with this trip…that’s not like me at all.

It should be a fun weekend though…we are meeting at the spa for a spa day, having drinks and her lingerie party at a nice hotel in Chicago, going to dinner and then out to a club.  Clubs are so NOT ME, but the bride to be loves to dance and is REALLY good at it, so I’m going to have to find my dancing shoes and bust out a move with the girls.  You  may not want to stand in a 5 foot radius of me though..watch out boys…stay back.

I’ve said it before…but you don’t want to be around me when I’m dancing.  I’m terrible.  I have always been athletic..but have no rhythm on the dance floor.  I posted this before, but it still cracks me up…this will be me on Saturday night..

After a couple cocktails, I feel like I look better, but In reality, I still probably look so awkward.  I’ll let you know how it goes..but I think you need to wish me some serious luck if I want to be able to not look like the idiot above.

Can you hold your own on the dance floor, or are you  like an awkward fool like me?

Maybe I should try to find someone on the dance floor who is REALLY bad (there’s GOTTA be SOMEONE worse than me, right?)..so it makes me look better….haha..just a thought…

Anyway, If you follow me on Facebook, you already know that I got to work this morning and found this little devil on my desk….

That sucker went right to John’s desk.  I couldn’t have it staring at me any longer.  It was hard enough having it eye me down while I was eating my egg whites and oats this morning.  Talk about temptation!  I’m staying strong and not eating it though!  It looks so good though..I used to love those big cookies!

On a healthier note…I’ve been training really hard lately.  I made a weekly goal for myself to try to increase my weight as much as I can and lift heavier this week.  I have upped my weight a lot and I’m SO paying for it too.  I’m walking around SOOOO sore.  Damn single legged dead-lifts have me walking around like a double legged idiot. 

That’s totally going to help my dancing situation this weekend….great…

Here’s a look at a few of Erin’s Eats lately…

LOVE TRUE LEMON!!! This stuff is a MUST get when you're at the grocery store. It's 100% natural (unlike Crystal Light) because it's made with Truvia! I just add it to one of my big nalgene water bottles when I'm getting sick of regular water. It tastes just like lemonade and they have a raspberry lemonade flavor too. Trust me on this one!

  1. Haha! I love the “How you actually look” at the club photo! I try to avoid clubs as much as possible since I am a terrible dancer. I would much rather spend my Friday evening at the gym under a stack of weights then back at home for a nutritious dinner and some cuddling with my hubby.

  2. Thanks for posting what you eat, it gives me some good ideas – and the composition looks like my daily eats since I’m following JE’s LiveFit program. Oh, I copied your recipe for the Protein cookies and Im making those tonight. I’ll let you know how it goes!

    • oooo good!! The texture is more like a muffin than a cookie and it’s sooo good. I just had one warmed up with some natural PB on it. I’m obsessed 🙂 Let me know what you think of them tomorrow!

      • I am obsessed with peanut butter!!!! I could eat scoops of it. Sometimes I find myself eating a TBSP at night, which I think is my body’s way of saying “I need more protein”. And Im very happy to oblige it! 😉 Cant wait to try them!
