My weekend started on Friday with Friday Funday!
Friday, after a morning meeting the entire office headed out for an early lunch out in East Memphis. We had a choice of where to eat between a deli and tacos. Of course, I chose tacos.
It was my first time eating at Swanky’s Taco Shop. I ordered crunchy chicken tacos.
They were nice but not the best tacos I’ve ever had. Maybe I should have eaten them slower. I couldn’t though because our office field trip continued… with a movie!
Yep, we went to see the new Avengers movie. Sometimes it’s nice working with a bunch of geeks. ;) I really enjoyed the movie – it was quite funny! After the movie half the office went home and the rest of us grabbed some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream before parting ways back at the office.
Saturday was a busy day for me. I hit up Walmart for some needed supplies like contact solution and then visited some thrift stores for new clothes.
I love thrift stores both for the price and the randomness of the selection. Sometimes I’ll go shopping and find nothing I like and sometimes I’ll leave things at the store I wish I could have bought. It just depends on how lucky I get. This particular shopping trip was extremely lucky because I finally found a maxi dress I liked!
It’s a bit long on me because I’m a shorty but I love it. It’s so vibrant and the colors are awesome. It’s not really anything special but after a long search for a dress I both liked and could afford I’m happy to have found it!
Sunday was spent doing absolutely nothing for the most part. I’ve been a lazy bum to be honest. The two productive things I’ve done were reading the Rebel Strength Guide because I’m thinking about actually doing one of Nerd Fitness’s guides all the way through and cooking some food for the rest of the week.
I’m trying to combat my new tendency to eat out every day (sometimes multiple times a day) since I’ve been here. Maybe having food ready and portioned out will help me make some better choices this week. My body needs a break from the sodium and calorie overload from eating out so much. We will see!
How was your weekend? Have a great week!
OOoooh, that video is helpful. I’m really working on cooking more, and eating less frozen foods.
love the maxidress that purple is definitely your color.
It’s definitely my favorite color!
It sounds like you’re having a lot of fun!! I always wish I worked somewhere with more coworkers so we could do fun things after work. haha.
I am! It’s nice to like your coworkers at the very least. I’ve had jobs in the past where that wasn’t the case.
Hi Mary! What height are you? Hmm, my guess is 5′ 5″ ?
Haha people always think I’m taller than I am. I’m 5’2″.
Great post! Weight loss is a journey, and it’s good to have positive people such as yourself to guide us travelers.
Love that dress! So pretty!
oh, how fun that you guys get to leave work and go see a movie. everyone is seeing that movie…it looks good. maxi dresses… i’m barely 5’1 well 5′ 3/4 and i cant wear heels so i kinda shun that fashion though i think it looks good on a lot of women. do you just hem them, or maybe wear really tall shoes? :)
I love that dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pic of you in it??? :-)
Had a great weekend Mary – thank you! My post today shows one of my treat cookies! :-)
Whenever I wear it! I’m still undecided if I want to hem the bottom or not.
Cute dress! I’ve never been much of a purple fan, but lately I’ve been leaning towards it more. Last week we ate out (well some of it was delivery) 3 or 4 times and I had an awful weigh-in. I made bf promise to let me dictate the meals this week and no junk food!
I love the dress and I am not one to love dresses unless it’s me wearing it at home. lol
Gorgeous Dress!
