Exercise can be fun!

The weekend is always the best time for me to get my exercise, simply because I don't have to work. Although I love my Wii workout, that's really more for the middle of the week. I've started planning my weekends to include lots of physical activities, without the dread of actual exercise. Weight Watchers stresses that you don't use the term 'exercise', but rather 'activity'. I would agree. 'Exercise' can strike fear into the hearts of even the healthy, whereas 'activity' implies something fun.

So here's what I have planned for the next few weekends as 'activity':

Friday, Mar 25: Weeding My Garden
Oh my goodness, the weeds have just taken over! I have 3 birdfeeders very close to the garden, so seeds get thrown in it all the time. The seeds have started growing plants, so I will be digging around tonight, pulling all of them out.

Saturday, Mar 26: Fort Worth Zoo
specifically for the new Museum of Living Art. Last time we went, MOLA was still under construction. That zoo has been in desperate need of a new herpetarium for eons, and I'm so glad it's finally here! My husband is overly excited and has been asking me to go to the zoo for 6 months. The weather is perfect right now, so I think it's about time we go :) (Fort Worth Zoo)

Sunday, March 27: Fort Worth Botanical Gardens 
I have yet to discuss this much, but I LOVE GROUPON. I am signed up for deals in 3 different cities, and I purchase at least 1 Groupon a week. One of the ones I am most excited about was the discount Couple's Membership to the Botanical Gardens. Although most of the Gardens are free, the Conservatory and Japanese Garden are not. I paid $20 for a $60 membership, and I can't wait to use it! We'll be going to the Japanese Garden on this trip, and I'll be taking my camera with me :) My goal is to start visiting the Gardens at least every other weekend, to make full use of the membership, as well as relax in a serene setting before I have to head back to work for the week. (Fort Worth Botanical Gardens)

Saturday and Sunday, April 2 and 3: Tommi's Coming to Visit!
One of my husband's best friends is coming over for the weekend! He was one of the groomsmen at our wedding, and we really don't get to see him often enough. This weekend is the Deep Ellum Arts Festival. I just love free stuff like this! Live music, plenty of local art, and alcohol. (Although I'll be good and not drink very much...) I'm looking forward to exploring the festival with the guys, and finding a club to hang out at after the festival closes. (Deep Ellum Arts Festival)

Saturday, April 9: Dallas Auto Show
Woohoo! Another awesome Groupon find. Tickets for adults to the Dallas Auto Show are normally $12 a piece. Today's Groupon was $6 for two tickets! Of course I bought them. I'll get plenty of exercise walking around the huge show, drooling over all the cars :) (Dallas Auto Show)

Sunday, April 10: Botanical Gardens
Okay, if I'm not completely exhausted from the Auto Show on Saturday, then I think we'll head back to Fort Worth for another visit to the Gardens.

I'll be posting pictures as these events occur. My challenge to you? Get out there and find some activity of your own!

What's Your Song? Thursday IS BACK!

I realized that I'm in desperate need of some tunage. I'm trying a 3-day juice fast, and I want it to go well, so I need to be in a good mood - esp. since I hate most of the veggies in the juice but I know they are good for me. I have some good news - I have lost enough weight to take the 'W's off the end of my pant size, and I had to buy new, SMALLER undies. YAY! The hubby is very excited about the pair decorated with sledding penguins lol. Here's my song - Dirty Laundry by Bitter:Sweet. Love this song!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go dance with my dog and ignore all the dirty laundry that really needs to meet the washing machine :) Join us on this great link-up from Amber at Goodnight Moon !

Thanks for stopping by!

Good morning/afternoon/evening! I hope the weather didn't make it difficult for you to get here :) Here in Texas we went from 90 degrees on Saturday to a high of mid-50's yesterday, and the high today is only 50. And it's wet and raining :( Thanks for dropping by my blog. I am excited to be the featured blogger on Mrs. O's Life: Monday Bloglight. I'm sure you have already read the intro on her page, so I'll spare you the boring details. I am primarily a PCOS/Infertility blogger, with a little of my own craziness blended in. I am also fighting depression and bipolar II disorder, making this journey especially difficult - because we are automatically disqualified from so many adoption agencies for that. If only they knew that these mental problems are linked to the reason we were trying to adopt in the first place. Anywho, enough ranting. I post several times a week - depending on what I have to blog about. I try to get a meal plan out by the end of every Mond...

My First Giveaway!

My last post was about my decision to start a bakery. I'm very excited about it, and have been getting some fantastic reviews from my taste testers! My menu is small right now, but I am continually working on new recipes to expand it. I'm currently attempting to make a really good gluten free sandwich bread that doesn't have corn, potato, white rice, or soy in it. I hope to have it done by opening day, Nov 1. I know it's weird to open on a Tuesday, but I plan to be very busy celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary on Halloween by scaring little kids :) I figured one of the best ways to advertise the bakery was to have a blog giveaway. So that's exactly what I'm doing! One lucky reader will receive a $20 gift certificate to I Can't Believe It's Good For Me. The giveaway is open until midnight, Oct. 31. The winner will be chosen by random.org and announced on Nov 1. Here are the rules: 1 - You must complete the mandatory entry. 2 - Post each entr...
