Biker B!tch Winter Sucks Party | 2015

8

Oh these girls.

These girls…

The 2015 Winter Sucks Biker B!tch party sure didn’t disappoint.   From shots, to climbing fences and posing seductively with masks to an all night dancing affair… it’s never a dull moment when you hang out long enough with sassy biker chicks such as these.

We started the evening at Joe Banana’s for dinner, drinks and shots.  Who ordered the shots??!!  Aye, yeyey…

Joe Banana’s filled us full of liqour and good laughs, that I can say!

One should never take themselves too seriously…

Once fully primed we hoofed it to the bar just down the block.  It shall remain unnamed because it SUCKED.   They clearly didn’t want our business nor were they in any sort of hurry to serve us drinks.  One would think they’d be all over a group of women who just happen to be THE ONLY people in the bar.   Good luck keeping your doors open, peeps.   Good luck.

Mooooving on!

Can’t take these girls anywhere.

ANYWHERE I tell ya.

Oh, wait.  Yes you can.  This is what makes shit fun.   Letting loose and having fun with your girlfriends.   Ahh… winter doesn’t suck so bad.

At this point we hit up three bars.  It might have gotten a little fuzzy for me so I am not certain which bar is which, so I will just post the photos and you can guess.

Who knew you’d be playing a guessing game today on the ol’ H&H page, eh!?

To end the night a group of us went to Chrome Lounge to dance into the wee hours of the morning… and apparently selfies with Liz were of utmost importance.

Brown Sugar and Molasses Cookies

brownsugarmolasses

These cookies are sinful.   They stay a little doughy after baking, they have a rich molasses and brown sugar taste, and pair perfectly with a mug of hot pomegranate green tea, or if you are my husband, a glass of milk.

Just LOOK at those perfectly rounded cookies and cracked tops.

I see you drooling right now.

As is with most of the recipes I share, they are fairly simple to create.  Just be sure to place the dough balls in the refrigerator for at least an hour before baking, otherwise they will just be runny blobs.

But, then again, if you don’t follow the directions you could create one of those hilarious Pinterest #nailedit Memes.

Enjoy!

Valentine’s & Moonshine

Where oh where did the weekend just go?

Sigh…

To recap:

Friday

Made these delicious raspberry rolls for work.   Easy as 1,2,3.   Typically I like to make my stuff from scratch, but I took a short cut this go-round and used Rhodes rolls.

1. Thaw, roll and spread one 10-12oz bag of still frozen raspberries mixed with 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp sugar and a Tbsp. of cornstarch.

image

 

2.  Roll long ends to meet in middle.   Slice into 12 equal rolls.

image

3.  Place into two cake or pie pans, cover and let rest for a little over an hour, bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

image

4.   Remove from oven, let cool.  Prepare icing by mixing 6 leftover raspberries, 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 Tbsp milk in a food processor.  Drizzle and serve warm.

image

Full recipe can be found here.

Did I mention the pretty Harley flowers I got for Valentine’s Week?  Yep – delivered Tuesday.  What a nice fella.

image

Friday after work I had two appointments to take care of.  It’s nice getting off work at 3pm, I tell ya.   One of my appointments was for a lash fill.  I will have to do a post on this process sometime.   My esthetician, Jessica, is the BOMB!!!

image

Friday Evening Clint and I went to Village Point for some cocktails and sushi at our fave place, Kona Grill.   We had NO desire to fight the Saturday night Valentine’s Day crowds so enjoying a date a day earlier was perfect.  Less crowded too.

Rainbow Roll was to DIE for.

image

And of course the Las Vegas roll, a must have.

Friday night ended with a little TV, a good book and bed by 10:30pm.  Bliss.

Saturday

Taught Insanity to my 24 hour peeps and did a lot of odds and ends around the house with a movie thrown in for good measure.   I have had Amazon Prime for over a year and never used the free movies.  Now that I have a smart TV I finally got around to utilizing it!  Score!

The boys spent the day prepping moonshine mash.  Appropriate activity for an almost 19 year old and his dad, right?  ha.  Hey, it isn’t anywhere near being alcohol yet, so no harm, no foul.   No negativity, please.

Sunday

I read a book.  In it’s entirety, other then the 3 chapters I read Friday night.   It was fantastic!  What a lazy Sunday morning and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.   The boys continued working on the moonshining by soldering the new still.  It was an all day event.   Literally.  All. Day.

While they worked, I prepped my lunch and snacks through Wednesday.  (I hate leftovers, so this is HUGE for me) and worked on memorizing a new Insanity routine to roll out to my YMCA peeps this week!

And THAT, ladies and gents, concludes our eventful weekend.  Real eventful ’round here.  I may or may not have kept the same yoga pants and sweatshirt on that I changed into Saturday after my workout.

Don’t judge.  You know you did it too.

Cheers!

January Challenge Group RESULTS

Can I get a virtual HIGH FIVE to all the January 21 Day Challengers?!

Just LOOK at these freaking results, y’all!

january challenge

23 folks reported results.   Those numbers — can you believe it???   23 people lost a TOTAL of 181 pounds and 139 inches.

There were even more folks who chose not to report, but hung right in there with us.

I can’t say enough great things about each and every person in this challenge group.   Each day they made a decision to choose the right foods, workout and report in how their day went.

Every. Single. Day.

For 21 days.

Dang.   PROUD COACH right over here.

I want to point out that it isn’t always about the scale or measurements.   Sometimes we just need the encouragement.  Sometimes we are looking to gain muscle.  Sometimes we just want to be a part of a team effort.  Camaraderie.   There is plenty to gain from participating in a challenge group.   I asked for folks to give me some non-scale victories as well…

I feel lean!

My clothes are baggy!  I have no idea if I lost inches since I didn’t measure myself, but my clothes tell me I did!

I am seeing some muscles peek through.   EEK!

I feel better overall.

So happy to exercise!

Baby steps – I am getting there.  This helped me get started. 🙂

 

And, this…  

I feel my biggest success is that I’m starting to live again… I lost my husband last April and since then I have just been existing. I needed to get out of that mode for myself and our 17 year old son. I’m so glad Jordan answered my questions a few weeks ago and encouraged me to try. It’s a difficult road but for the first time in a very long time I’m thinking of myself and making things better for us. I’m so proud of myself. Baby steps will get me healthy and back to living again. I’m so glad I joined!

.

This is what makes it all worth it.

This is what is important.

This is why I love what I do.
