Well Hello!

My my, it's been awhile. I am really trying to be healthier and loose weight. I am hoping if I write it all down I can stay on track. Wish me luck!

Music Wednesday

Happy middle of the week.

I will admit I normally hate Daft Punk, but I really like their newest single Get Lucky featuring Pharrell Williams. I have probably listened to it at least 10 times and it constantly gets stuck in my head.

What song can you not get out of your head?

What's your blood type?

Probably about a month ago I tried to donate blood. I say try because I had to stop them because I thought I was going to pass out. I had never had a large amount of blood drawn before but luckily I am alive. I finally got my donor's card and I found out I have A Positive blood. I did some research and A Positive is the second most common blood type in the United States. Also I had no idea there was research done on what I should eat and how personality quirks I have because I am A Positive.

This article goes into detail on what someone should and shouldn't eat and other weird things I have no idea that could be dissociated with blood type.

What's your blood type?

Welcome back Music Wednesday!!!

Hello Strangers!!!

Welcome back to Music Wednesdays

This song is called Holding on to You by 21 Pilots. They will be perform at the Life is Beautiful Festival which looks amazing. We are buying our tickets on Friday and it is going to be the longest time before the concert comes. Look at the band line up and who is going to be preparing food, it's incredible. I can't wait!
What was your favorite festival?

Music Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!!! Today's song is by a group almost everyone knows, Fall Out Boy. I love this song and I honestly when Fall Out Boy was big I hated them. What can I say, I like to go against the status quot. Now that they are back together I am super excited.

Fall Out Boy
My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark

Dirty Vert

Saturday night I ran the Dirty Vert Race put on by Desert Dash with my friend Amelia. For this race you ran up Bootleg Canyon in Boulder City and then you zip-lined down. Sounds amazing, right? The zip-line was my attraction to the race because I am a bit clumsy,which means lots of falling during a trail race. Luckily, I didn't fall, although I did have scares where I tripped running next to a cliff and I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest.

 The route we chose was 3.35 miles and was completely up hill. We did finish just over an hour and then it was time to zip-line. Amelia is terrified of heights so she was freaking out the entire time and I didn't get nervous until I was strapped in. Once I was strapped in, I was shaking so much the metal was making noise that everyone could hear. It was completely dark so we couldn't see much but we the feeling of flying about 50 mph was incredible.

Meal Plan

Well it is the beginning of my work week which means grocery shopping. Here is what I have planned for the week. I am also going to start juicing so if I come across any really good recipes I will definitely  share them. I have really missed juicing and I need to start using the juicer more since it was such an investment. 

Crunchy Cashew Thai Quinoa Salad

Enchilada Casserole

Avocado Bacon Quesadillas- my own recipe

Haircuts

For some reason I hate getting my hair cut. I am not sure where it stemmed from because I have never had a "bad haircut" (only poor choices on my end). I think I just hate being judged for the condition of my hair, so I put it off which makes my split ends worse and then I get even more concerned. I honestly think my dog gets groomed more than I do, and yes I don't really like taking her either. She just went to the groomer and look at the before and after pictures. She looks fabulous, especially with the bows in her hair.

Does anyone else hate getting their haircut?

Music Wednesday!!!

Happy Wednesday!!! I am love with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. I can not get this song out of my head so its the song of the week! Enjoy!

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis ft. Ray Dalton
Can't Hold Us
