Long time, no blog post....

Hey guys!!!!

 

I know I know....it's been awhile.  But just a quick recap on what's going on in my life, some weight loss updates, and fun things coming up.

 

SO I had my bachelorette party 2 weekends ago.  IT. WAS. EPIC.  Loved being around my girls for one night.  We had such a blast.  We had mason jar champagne glasses (enough said).  We went to one bar and got cheered on the way in....and then someone yelled "COUGARS" and we prompty left that bar.  So we went to a totally different random bar where there were old men and bikers and proceeded to have a blast.  And drink lots of shots.  I would do it all over again.  But....you know YOMO....you only marry once! Here's a photo!

 

 

Me and my sister

 

And for some reason my phone is being a POS and I can't upload a ton of photos, but I will assure that photos do not do the night justice.  So much fun.  Sigh, sad that it's over.

 

In other non-wedding related news, I'm still managing to workout 3-4 times a week.  I did manage to pull a groin/hip flexor (not sure which one but it HURTS) and that has put me on the sidelines lately.  But I'm happy to report that clean eating is still taking place (amidst wine drinking) and I'm feeling pretty groovy.  Feel like my hips are smaller and my legs have NEVER been this little (I inherited big muscular thighs from my mom,yo).  I can wear single digit pants, MAJOR accomplishment. Trying not to blow the weight loss on holiday dips and goodies. Did you know that most peopple put on 10 pounds during this time of year that takes them at least a year to work off?  Not doing that.  Avoiding all the sugary things, even though people bring all sorts of holiday treats to work right now.

 

 

I was trying to find a picture of me in this same sweatshirt from a few years back to show some progress but I can't find it on the 'Book.  My girl Samantha at 24 to 30 has some great comparison photos, so go check her out. 

 

The wedding is 3 weeks away.  EEK! It's starting to slightly freak me out but I know it will be an awesome day.  My wedding planners have everything organized and have kept me calm, so I'm feeling pretty good.  Just hope I don't like forget my underwear or something, that would not be fun.

 

I even got crafty and made some fun centerpieces that I'm still working on, but they turned out great so far.  And some chalkboards.  I felt like pinterest threw up on my porch, but it was fun...and may have involved a whole bottle of wine to myself.

And last but not least...WHO'S PUMPED ABOUT CATCHING FIRE AND STARING AT THIS GUY FOR 2.5 HOURSSSSSSSSS????????

 

 

Sigh, thank the LORD for those Hemsworths. 

 

I am such a dork about these books and have re-read Catching Fire and Mockingjay this week.  I mean, in my fantasy life, I want to run around like Katniss and shoot at things with a bow and arrow.  Just not humans.  That would be awkward.  But she's awesome and who doesn't love her new hairdo!?!??!?!?!? Yay for short haircuts.  How cute is she?  Totally doing this after the wedding. (and get on a private plane too, that's in my fantasy life as well).

 

 

That's all I got for your Friday.  Posts will be sporadic for the next few weeks but once we get some fun photos back from the wedding, I can't wait to share them with you all.

 

Until then...keep eating clean, keep working out, and JUST...KEEP...GOING!

 

 

 

OMG it's HEEEEEEEEEEERE!

 Hey guys!  Happy Friday!!!  OK so a few weeks ago, I posted that I may apologize a lot for not posting.  Well, I definitely have to apologize (again) for the lack of posting and feel bad for not many updates, but life went from like 0 to 100 mph in a matter of 3 weeks.  I miss writing and putting out my fitness updates each week.  But I'm still kicking tail in the gym, feeling awesome, and enjoying the last few weeks of being Rebecca Johnston.  It's gonna be weird (but a good weird) to become Mrs. Davis.

 Here's 5 things I'm looking forward to this weekend!

 

1. Bachelorette Party of the CENTURY!

 

My bachelorette is this weekend.  At the edge of America (Folly Beach, SC). All of my good friends are coming.  My sister is coming too, which makes me estatic, although I'm sure I'll be red in the face from embarrassment and whatever gets said....in front of my big sister :)  I'm hoping that because I'm 31, there aren't many penis straws or penis hats, but my friends are a lot of fun so who knows :)  It will be epic, I am ready for lots of champagne and laughs. 

 

 

 

 2.  Pre-marital counseling..............

 

So, this techincally is happening on Monday, but I have the day off, so it counts as a long weekend.  J and I are meeting with our minister and talk about all the fun life things.  And our minister is a great friend of my dad's, so I'm sure it will be funny and entertaining.  He called to tell me that I failed my quiz that I took online, baaaaahahhahahaha.  He really made me think that J and I were NOT compatible for a second there.  Total heart failure 40 days before the wedding.

 

3.  GHETTO Friday!

 

Ok so, just to explain how awesome one of my trainers is, meet Eli.  (he's gonna totally bust my butt tonight for using this squinty picture)

 

 

All I'll say about Eli is that he loves some good jams and totally pumps up and pimps out our Friday night work outs.  Total sweat session to some good tunes. He's also been partly responsible for my ongoing transformation by working on my food choices for the past few months, cleaning up my diet, and getting me to lift heavy.  We're doing max lifts right now for the next few weeks and I bench pressed 95 pounds 4 times last night.  I used to not be able to lift the bar off the rack.  And he pushes me and makes working out a ton of fun, so thanks for that Eli!  Anyway, can't wait for ghetto Friday, it's a fun time. 

 

4.  Wedding band shopping.

I picked out my own this week since I have such a weird shaped engagement ring.  Pretty sure I finally settled on one I like.  What do you guys think?

 

 

 5. Shenannies!!! (as in shenanigans)

The past 3 weekends have been full of road trips, showers and family time.  This weekend, I get to chill with my girls, on the beach, relax and just kick back and goof off.  Like I can totally do that in front of mine and J's family, but this will be silliness on a GIRL level.  I'm pretty sure there will be lots of laughs, snort giggles, possibly some tears (this wedding stuff has made me emotional, geez), and just an overall good time.  These are my two best friends from home, we've known each other for over 15 years, and I'm pretty sure between the two of them, we're going to laugh our heads off this weekend and do a lot of reminiscing.  CAN'T. WAIT.

 

 

 

 Happy Friday you guys!

 

 Enjoy your weekends, have some laughs, and maybe a drink or two!
