Friday Favorites

I feel like I say this every week, but I am beyond thrilled that it is Friday! Today I'm linking up with Andrea, Erika, and Narci to share some of my Friday Favorites!

1) Being Motivated to Get Healty

 

With the New Year upon us, like most people, I'm finding extra motivation to be healthy and get fit. Just yesterday I received my new elliptical! Praise the Lord Seth helped me put it together because it was quite the chore (or at least it looked that way from my view on the couch). I thought at one point Seth was going to break something, but he got it put together ;) I will be trying it for my first full work out when I get off work today. Wish me luck ;)

I also FINALLY charged my Fitbit last night and am wearing it again today. My goal is 10,000 steps a day, which is A LOT of steps! (again wish me luck!!!)

I'm also inputting my calories in MyFitnessPal. It could be going better, I'm leaving myself lots of room for improvement ;)

2) Pinterest Told me To's Bachelor Recap

I was laughing out loud for the majority of her recap. If you are a Bachelor fan it is a MUST read. Seriously. Check it out  here.

 3) My Friday LEAST Favorite- This Indiana Winter

This cold weather is seriously for the birds! Your skin hurts if you are out for more then 5 seconds at a time! I'm dreaming of some place very tropical, maybe like this:

 

Maybe if I beg Seth enough he will take me, but I'm not counting on it ;)

Sorry for the short post filled with Ecards, but it's just one of those days! 

Hope you all have the most amazing weekend!  

The Season of Prince Farming: Week 1

So I finally was able to watch the premier of The Bachelor last night (thanks Hulu Plus), and let me tell you it did not disappoint! I had no idea the time commitment I was signing up for, but I sat down last night and saw that it was 3 hours long! Yes you read that correctly. I probably could have done with out the hour on the red carpet, but let's be honest it's good to catch up with The Bachelor Family.

My Favorite couple! They will have the cutest babies!!!

I thought Andi looked stunning! Not to mention she made her own dress, that's impressive

I loved Nikki, so much that I hoped Juan wouldn't pick her. I thought she handled the situation like a classy lady.

Finally the hour long red carpet count down was over and we get to see the good stuff: DRAMA! I think that's the only reason I watch the show, you get to see these people act absolutely ridiculous (with a few exceptions) thinking that they are actually going to impress someone with it. Like these for example:

As a ginger I wanted her to make it, but really a pig nose?!?!

This was just a little too creepy for me, and not cute either.

The idea was cute, but came across trying a little too hard. I still think she's adorable though!

I feel like we need to take a minute and talk about Tara. She had some ups and downs during the night. I thought she started off pretty strong, then got REALLY drunk, and I think we were all shocked Chris kept her.

I think she impressed Chris by not dressing up

Then changed because the other girls were judging her. Here is her second first impression with Chris.

and then this happened:

Isn't this a great National Television Look?

But to EVERYONE'S surprise Chris decided to keep Tara around. He is either really understanding of the pressure she was under, or just plain stupid, only time will tell.

Tara wasn't the only one who wasn't at the top of her game, but will still be continuing on for Chris' heart. There is also a lot to say about Ashley S.

She appears completely normal in pictures, but she came across a little crazy on premier night. And by a little crazy I mean VERY crazy.

Like when she picked this "onion" for all America to see

Clearly Chris didn't get the crazy vibe.

 Before the premiere I picked my top 10 favorite girls. You can see that list here, 2 of the 10 were eliminated night one (Amanda and Kara). And it's safe to say my favorites have changed. Here are my top 3 favorite girls after the first rose Ceremony.

#3 Whitney:

#2 Kelsey:

#1 Britt:

Lets be honest Chris and Britt had some MAJOR chemistry! I absolutely loved her, her hair is amazing, she was so sweet, and anyone who can get a kiss on the first night deserves a round of applause.

It was quite a night, and based on the preview the rest of the season is going to be just as crazy!! Thanks for reading hope you all enjoyed. I would love to know your thoughts on the premier :)

It's Almost That Time Again...

 No, I'm not talking about Christmas. I'm talking about the fact that the next season of The Bachelor starts in just a couple weeks, January 5th to be exact! I love watching The Bachelor, it's so full of drama its addicting. Plus I never would have found Shay's blog (which is one of my favorites) without the help of The Bachelor. She is Sean Lowe's sister, and Sean was the best Bachelor of all time in my professional opinion ;)

 This year we are following Chris, the farmer from Iowa. He appeared on Andi's season and had his heart crushed when she sent him home. He is now back again looking for love. Today I'm going to share my top 10 favorite girls, based completely on their pictures and short bios I was able to read on them ;) I'm sure my opinions will change after the premier.
