How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. My dad dragged me to the gym on Saturday morning at 8am (thank you, Dad!) - the gym was packed!! I hate when it's crowded! So, I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then got the heck out of there. I didn't work out on Sunday. My eating was, for the most part, good over the weekend - yes, I could have done better, but I could have done much worse, too!
We were back at the gym today - I did 15 minutes of weights, 25 minutes on the treadmill, and 20 minutes on the elliptical, so I had a good workout. My calories were under 1300 today, and I'm working on getting the last of my water in for the day. Today was a good day!
So, I've been tagged by Rochelle! Thanks, Rochelle!

11 Random Things About Me:
1. I love ketchup on everything - eggs, chicken, fish, hamburgers, hot dogs - EXCEPT for french fries! I like my french fries plain.
2. I hate talking on the phone. Actually, it's a bit of fear. I will avoid talking on the phone, at all cost. I love email and text - best inventions, ever! So, don't call me.
3. I decided to homeschool my eldest daughter just one week before the start of kindergarten - best decision ever! My girls are now 11 and 8, and it's going great!
4. I'm addicted to Cafe Mochas from Caribou Coffee, which is really, really bad, since I need to lose 100+ pounds.
5. I was a nanny for 6 years, and I loved it!
6. From a young age, I wanted to be a singer and an actor, but I didn't have the guts to tell anyone, or to go for it.
7. I was a competitive swimmer for ten years.
8. My friend and I were kidnapped by a church minivan during our spring break on South Padre Island. We thought it was a taxi, but they were religious fanatics who drove us around for an hour talking to us about God!
9. My mother almost named me "Rainey".
10. I got a tattoo when I was 18, and a little drunk. Worse - I took my 16 year old sister with me, and she got one, too. Needless to say, my parents weren't too happy.
11. Since birth I have lived in 12 different houses - 7 with my parents, and 5 with my hubby.

9. Build your ideal person. Fill in the blanks: I'd want the hair of Sofia Vergara , the face of Mila Kunis , the body of Selma Hayek , the brains of my husband , the talents of my daughters , the sense of humor of my friend, Julie , and the bank account of Oprah - ha!
