Living for the weekends...

So, Thursday (my first day on the elliptical) was a bust!!  I woke up and thought to myself:  Self, I think I'll do the 45 minute interval "endurance" routine to gauge where I am. What was I thinking?!?!?!!!  3 minutes in I was like yeah, go me, I can do this, no problem...hahaha, that was the WARM-UP--DUH!!!  LOL, 7 minutes in I was completely gassed!!  My heart was racing, my breathing was heavy--lungs burning--and I was sweating bullets.  So, Friday I "wisely" chose a more appropriate setting for BEGINNERS!!  LOL  But, 20 minutes in I was still going strong.  So, slow and steady truly does win the race! 
Today is Week 1 of the "new and improved me" so, more to come on the weight loss journey.   The silver lining in this cloud?  I got on the scale on Friday and I am only (haha, I say only like it's nothing) 15lbs up, not the a fore mentioned 20!!  Woot woot! :)

This weekend was fantastic!  Friday night was dinner at Applebee's followed by Band Hero with my man.  Saturday we did some shopping and then watched the UFC fight night on Spike:  there's not much on TV that beats watching two genetically blessed men beat the crap out of each other! LOL  I am looking forward to watching my boyfriend, aka George St-Pierre, fight next month!! :) As an extra added bonus, they have scheduled my other favorite: Randy Couture on the same night!   *swoon*

Sunday was such a fun day! :)  Jason and I went to breakfast and then to the movies.  We watched Sucker Punch at the IMAX.  And now I digress...
Sucker Punch was a very strange movie.  I left the theater scratching my head thinking:  I think I liked it. The problem with this movie is that the effects are very cool but the story line is ambiguous.  When we rehashed the movie to my mom, Jason and I had very different takes on what happened to the main character before and during her stay at the mental hospital. It was very Resident Evil meets Inception and they have a baby. Their baby meets Shutter Island and they have a baby.  That baby's name is Sucker Punch. 
Do you ever pass a couple in the mall or on the street and go, huh?!  "How did THOSE two end up together?" Well, that's Sucker Punch...it works, but you're not quite sure why. LOL

After the movies we went back to my place and decided to go throw the football.  By the time we got back to the apartment, mom was home and it was time to make dinner.  After dinner we tried to figure out how to copy DVDs to my laptop.  I'm not so concerned with burning them onto discs, but I would like to make digital copies of them so we can travel with movies without having to take the discs.  I can't get the dumb things to copy...all I get is folders with a bunch of files that my computer can't read.  Any suggestions?  Do I need to get some sort of software to make it an mp4 or whatever the dumb things are supposed to be for the Power DVD or Windows Media to play them?!  Any insight would be appreciated!! :)

Monday morning came too soon, but at least I have a hot lunch date with Jason! :) Tonight we start our new workout regime...wish me luck!!
