Coldplay, Hunger Games & local tapas joint...

Well this week I thought I would share with you one of my favorite jams...I've been listening to it a lot while I work out...so yes I have been following through with my non-fast food, exercising lifestyle...


Coldplay - Paradise.  You will not be disappointed...or at least I hope not.  So go ahead and download :)




Ummm...so if you haven't heard of the Hunger Games you better come out from under that rock you've been under.  It's happening...the great series is coming to the big screen on March 23rd.  Just enough time to read the 3 books...or at least the first one that the movie is based on.




Lastly...tomorrow (also payday Friday) it has become a new lunch tradition to go out on an all girl outting with the gals in my office...some but not all participate in these lunches...and thats okay.  It's fun and its kind of like when you are a kid and they wheel in a tv and vcr on a cart or if your class takes a field trip...it makes for a fun day not just a fun lunch.  So anyway tomorrow we are going to Signature Tapas...it's a little off the beaten path of the Riverwalk which is okay by me.  Sometimes its fun to be a tourist downtown San Antonio checking out the sights and sometimes its fun to be a local and know about the good food spots that are rarely ever crowded.  Signature Tapas (not to be confused with Topless...haha a tourist thought I said topless when they asked me for a good place to eat "around here") is legit...I like appetizers and tapas is just a fancy spanish version of saying appetizer!  Yum!  Mix and match...I can't wait!

These are a few of my favorite things...


Wait, what?  Target (my favorite store) is showing a sneak preview of Breaking Dawn Part 2 (most anticipated movie) in their store on Friday.  Yep, it's true.


Now, don't get me wrong...I would love to go BUT on the other hand I don't really care for all the groupies that are sure to be there, waiting in line and staying up until 1 am.  If it weren't for those factors I would totally be there.

So I will go pick up my copy after the hype on Saturday like a regular shopper but the sneak preview that I'll be missing will probably bum me out.  Hopefully someone with record with their iphone and upload to Youtube...not that I condone that kind of behavior but if you do...email me think link!

Well that's my highlight of the weekend.  It's Breaking Dawn DVD release weekend!  To celebrate we are ordering Chinese food from a local joint...China Stix (super yummy and they deliver).

Side note - if you haven't noticed I use a lot of ... and !!!   Sorry, that's just me...

Healthy Lifestyles

My name is Sarah and I'm addicted to Fast food...and unfortunately I think my kids are too!  Iit was yesterday as I drove through the CVS Pharmacy Drive Thru line and my 18 month old started whining for a french fry from the prescription bag that I thought to myself...Do I really go to McD's that often???  The answer Yes!  I've gotten way better about it but if my 18 month old is conditioned to ask for a hot fry out of the bag I know I've got to change my ways.

So this blog is about starting to get back on the health band wagon...I know!  We all set out to get healthy in January but I need this New Year Intention to STICK.  So, I joined a gym...Anytime Fitness.  I was a little hesitant about joining a mega gym because that is what is all over my side of town but after touring Anytime Fitness I knew I made the right choice...they have TV's on each elliptical so I can get lost in the world of TLC to distract myself from the timeclock...free tanning (okay this wasn't a must but it might be nice to show up to a beach vacation without being ghostly white) and it's open 24 hours a day so that I don't have to worry about my husbands crazy work schedule.  I'm in!  http://www.anytimefitness.com/gyms/2877/san-antonio-tx-78259

Also, I've been using MyfitnessPal for some time now but I need to be more diligent with it.  I've learned that I can eat that Reese's Peanut Butter Pzookie...as long as I EARN it via killer workout.  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/SlimmingSarah2011



Okay, so you should love Anytime Fitness too, they are everywhere and if you want to sign up there, tell me first...I think I get an extra month for free or something like that if I refer people.  Holla!

Peace out homies!
