It's been quite a productive weekend! Yesterday, Ryan and I got up early yesterday morning to tackle some (much needed!) yard work. It was a cloudy/rainy Saturday and Ryan was craving to eat a crockpot dinner so I looked around on Pintrest for some healthy meals -- there were so many to choose from! I settled on Chicken Tortilla Soup (I did add white rice because we love it!). I already had the chicken breasts (I bought a huge frozen bag at Costco!), and I had Ryan stop by Martin's to get the remaining ingredients (since he was already out running errands). I was excited to use our Mini-Prep Food Processor chopper that we got as a wedding gift. It was fun to chop up the cilantro and onions!! I threw all the ingredients in the crock pot, set it to "high" temperature, and set the timer for 3 hours. I love crockpot meals because you can set it and forget it! And! It makes your house smell delicious! When it was ready... I put them in bowls, topped it off with some fresh guacamole, shredded cheese, and sour cream, and voila! I had one happy hubby! Lots of leftovers too for lunches :)
We watched the Miss America Pageant! It was especially fun to watch because a very close family friend of mine (known him since birth!), Wills FauntLeRoy, is dating the 2012 Miss South Carolina, Ali Rogers. I've never met her but I've followed her and her fans on Facebook and she seems like the sweetest person. Wills raves about her and she is lucky to have him! It was an intense competition and she came in second place, a runner-up to the Miss America crown. SO close! Wills and his parents were there to celebrate with her and he later posted on Facebook, "A winner in my book. I am one lucky guy. So proud of you Ali. :)
Sunday morning Ryan got up early to go play golf with his boys -- he hasn't played in a while so I'm glad the rain subsided. I, on the other hand, slept until 10AM with Jax! Once I got up, I got some motivation to clean the house, organized my closet (with all my winter sweaters and boots!), and threw on some workout clothes to exercise in our garage for 45 minutes! I'm pretty sure watching the girls strut their stuff in the Miss America Pageant last night maybe had something to do with my sudden urge to workout but, hey, it worked! It was actually kind of fun!! Looking forward to getting into a workout routine!! Summer is only a few months away and I'm a Matron of Honor this summer for my brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law's wedding in August!
I was so proud of us that we ate healthy all weekend! Watching the Golden Globes tonight with my hubby!! :)
