I hope you all had a great weekend!! I am in a super good mood because this work week is only two and a half days long! Yes!! I love holiday weekends. Also because after next week I go on vacation with my amazing parents and the best sister in the entire world! Can you tell I'm excited about life right now?! Look at all these exclamation marks!
I surprisingly didn't take any pictures this weekend...I should have! We went to the boyfriend's boss's house for his little boy's 6th birthday party! I am so happy I missed the cake. That would have been diet over, right there. There were tons of cutie-patooties and sparklers and even fireworks.
My favorite part was when the boyfriend and I escaped to the swing set. We couldn't stop giggling while swinging back and forth. I felt so carefree. No stress in the world...but now its back to work. Boo :( But this girl has to make a living somehow. :P
Yesterday the boyfriend and I walked to the gym to do back and bi's. Here is the workout. Please don't make fun of how weak I am. I am progressing like crazy...and you'd be jealous of how rock hard my bicepts are.

So a few weeks ago, I tried to start running. I haven't gotten far. Maybe 0.3 miles before I have to stop because of my knee pain. But seriously, it is really hard to do this on a treadmill watching TV when this commercial comes on:

Uhhhh seriously?! Maybe TV on the treadmill is not a good idea.
