Oh and he chills with Jay & B all the time ... no big.
He is basically a saint... he goes to visit sick children at the Children's hospital in Seattle every Tuesday (his off day) and he is just always doing nice things. Stand up guy that one! Anyways - he WAS a part of my Thanksgiving as he almost made Colin Kaepernick cry when he beat his ass in San Francisco Thanksgiving day. Man that was a GREAT game - hopefully this means Seattle is back to kicking ass... the start of the season wasn't that hot. I mean we LOST to the Cowboys... ugh.
Before the game though we did a whole bunch of stuff in prep to head to our friends house to spend Thanksgiving with them. Not sure how it happened but I ended up having one of the BEST Thanksgivings ever and I didn't even cook that much. I started my day off with a killer kickboxing class and then I promptly went home and made sausage balls and homemade pop tarts. Holy crap, it was all SO GOOD and I am obviously rusty on this blogger business... I forgot to take a picture of my pop tarts and chocolate pie. #FAIL
After that we loaded up our treats and headed to Carnation, WA which reminds me so much of MS I can't handle it. It's in the valley about 35 mins to the East of Kirkland, WA so you are surrounded by mountains, the most beautiful land and a tiny little town. We love it and all our friends out there. I'm pretty bummed that will probably be our last trip to see them but I'm definitely taking great memories back with me. Below are some pictures from the day...
Sausage balls!
Thanksgiving was my cheat day and I think I did pretty good! I ate about 3 more rolls, hummus, cheese, pie, cake, mac n cheese, and some other things that I can't quite remember. I gained a little over 4lbs but I'm so not worried about it. My scale is actually not working right now as the battery has died and while a tad panicked, I feel it's for the best. Chad better fix it before this weekend though or I WILL GO INTO MELT DOWN "I'M GAINING ALL THE WEIGHT" MODE. I just have to know... it's such an unhealthy relationship.
The rest of the weekend was spent trying to work out, (I left all my crap in the wrong car so didn't make it to kickboxing on Saturday) painting, packing, cooking, and cleaning. I didn't know what day it was a couple of times and I read like 5 crap books because I like reading the free ones Kindle gives me. Although, I just started Gone Girl... should finish that this week if I don't get distracted by anything else... oh look glitter.
The day after Thanksgiving I made sure to pour soap into the leftover frosting and I sent Chad to work with all the leftovers. Other than a run in with some rogue semi-sweet chocolate chips Sunday night I have been back on track! A few doubles at kickboxing this week should have me back in action. (More on Kickboxing tomorrow!) My end of year goal is to lose only 4 more little pounds. I've been stuck in the same place for awhile so I'm hoping with the ramped up workouts and strict eating I can finally break through and start of 2015 40lbs LIGHTER than I did 2014. I just gotta hit that 40! ONLY FOUR MORE POUNDS.
It was a great weekend and now I only have 3 weeks left in the PAC NW... so bittersweet.
