Heyyooo!! Happy Monday after Christmas everyone! I hope you had a fabulous Holiday week. I sure did! I spent most of my time in Chicago with my family.
I’ve been off work since the 20th..it feels like a while ago but at the same time it also feels like it FLEW by. Why does it always seem like vacation is never long enough?
Last Friday we went out and got some amaaaaaazing sushi. I’m not the biggest sushi fan but this stuff was frickin’ amaze-balls. Seriously. It was called a crab rangoon roll and I’m not kidding guys..it was to DIE for. I’ve gotta go back to Drake’s to get this again soon!
I headed to Chicago on Saturday. I know I’ve said this before but there’s no better city in the world. I’ll be a Chi-town girl for life!
My friends and I went out on Sunday to watch the Bears game. We won’t talk about that game. I’m still pissed about that one!! It was a fun time though 🙂
Then it was hanging out with the family until Christmas. It was so nice to just relax for once. My mom’s tree was so pretty this year!
On Christmas morning I made my Grinch Fruit Kabobs. The recipe is posted HERE.
I will completely call myself out when it’s necessary and I think it’s time to call myself out. I absolutely SUCKED with my workouts this holiday season. I only got two cardio sessions in. At least I did two cardio sessions though..I guess.
We got my mom a treadmill for Christmas a few years ago so it’s really nice to be able to do cardio in her bedroom while watching TV. I could get used to having a treadmill inside my house!
I did two 30-45 min incline walking sessions. They were enough to get my heart rate up for a while and burn a tiny fraction of the crap I ate this week.
Christmas was beyond excellent though!!!! I wrapped over 40 gifts this year. I LOVE giving gifts!
My family and boyfriend were also WAY TOO GENEROUS to me this year. I was completely spoiled this year.
My mom got me new piece of PURPLE luggage since mine broke on our last trip to Cancun, an electronic toothbrush

I’ve been needing a new computer for a while so Santa my dad and step-mom got me a new 13″ Macbook Air!!!! I couldn’t believe it!!!! I’m totally obsessed.
(Pictured above: Macbook Air, & Victorias Secret Sweatpants – The perfect combo!)
My boyfriend hooked me up with the Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells
that I’ve been wanting forever!!! That one wasn’t a huge surprise though because last week a huge box that said BOWFLEX on it showed up at our front door. When I tried to pick it up to bring it inside, I almost broke my back it was so heavy. I figured that one out 😉
He also got me the most adorable PINK drill. Yep….a drill can be cute! Who would’ve known?!

They dumbbells are awesome though..I can’t wait to use them more. They each go from 5lbs – 52.5lbs. That is perfect for me.
The dober-dogs got lucky too and got two cute sweaters. Mya is on the left in her princess sweater and Max is in his XXL grey sweater. He looks like an old man in this picture with his sweater on, don’t ya think?
(Sweaters are from Petsmart)
Yesterday we spent a good three hours of our day cleaning up our lawn. Yep it’s the end of December and we still have a crap load of leaves in our yard. We are procrastinators when it comes to yard work. We HATE it.
We of course had to act like kids and make huge piles and jump in them with the dober-dogs.
Here’s Ryan with Max and Mya buried in the leaves. My cute little family 🙂
That ends the recap of my Christmas week. I hope you guys had an excellent holiday as well.
