Happy Valentines Day!

What a weekend! Monster and I left Friday morning via megabus for Des Moines. This experience on the Megabus was the best we have had. We left on time, stopped for food, arrived in DSM on time. It was great! I kinda dreaded the drive back on Sunday, but same deal. We left on time, stopped for food and were back in Chicago at 2:15, home by 3pm. It was lovely!

We saw some family, had fun at the baby shower, shopped and that's about it. It was a very quick trip. I was happy to get home and have some time last night to relax before the work week started.

We had plans to go out for dinner tonight to celebrate Valentines Day, but decided to stay in and cook together instead. We are going to make Shrimp Scampi (we love this meal!) and I am going to make Monster's favorite dessert - scotcharoos, for dessert. I also want to hang my new art work that Monster picked up yesterday! Luckily Urban is right around the corner. I can't wait to see how it looks!

How cute is this quote?? I saw it today on one of my favorite blogs and think it's worth posting.



I hit the grocery store last night and stocked up on healthy food for the week. I plan on going to the gym at least 4 times this week and maybe this weekend too since I will be in town. I need a good loss at WW this weekend!

My meal plan for the day:
Breakfast - English muffin with raspberry jelly
Snack - banana with reduced fat peanut butter
Lunch - WW meal (santa fe rice and beans) and an apple with laughing cow
Snack - TBD, maybe an orange or string cheese
Dinner - Shrimp scampi and salad. I am going to keep it light and healthy and watch my portions tonight

I hope you all had a great weekend!!
