This Week With Ms Giggles

You know what’s fun? Sending your brother a care package and then hearing that he and all his friends are obsessed with your cookies. What’s even funnier? I am obsessed with my cookies, to the point where I should no longer make them. I ate too many this past week. But they are good!

What I rocked at this week? Shooting guns and hitting targets (see image below).

What I sucked at this week? Eating habits are still not good. I need to focus on eating healthy foods. I have a tendency to think I can eat whatever I want. And that is just not the case.

What I will do better next week? I will focus on eating a healthier breakfast and lunch. Oatmeal and yogurt plus soups and salads and maybe a couple of healthy sandwichs. I think that sounds perfect.

What I did this week:

Completed two design projects at work
Hit 2 bullseyes at the target range
Got to hold baby Finley
Got my nails done with Grandma Pat and cousins
Enjoyed another quiet weekend

This Week With Ms Giggles

This week was good and we finally released the Weight of the Union, yay! Plus it was Valentine’s Day and B and I went to Salut for dinner. I had Steak and mashed potatoes and creme brûlée for dessert! NOM!

What I rocked at this week? Workouts! I did my 4 workouts. YAY! Next week, 4-5 workouts

What I sucked at this week? Eating well. I ate like crap especially on V-Day. I am the typical “give me what I want, when I want it” eater and that just can’t stay.

What I will do better next week? Eating healthy lunches and limiting sweets. I have a tendency to hit up the candy dish in our office too much. Once that’s gone I will see if I can get grapes or something. Little changes.

What I accomplished this week:

Watched a lot of TV: Revenge, Once Upon A Time, The Walking Dead….The list goes on–is this an accomplishment? Sure.
Pitched the Weight of the Union. And got pick up here, so far.
Uploaded some of my designs to Dribbble. Still need to do more.
Enjoyed some Me and Julios in Hastings for lunch on Friday.
Finished another project for Prescribe Nutrition. Love those girls.

Some of my favorite stuff online this week:

Awesome, cozy outfit from Atlantic-Pacific
How Madison from Espresso and Cream preps meals for the week
VERY interesting article from bobafamily about baby carriers, strollers and physical development.

Pins and Pics

Here are some awesome pics I took this week plus pins from pinterst I adore!

Enjoy your week!

Designing the Weight of the Union

Over the last month, I have been working with a team at work to produce this infographic. This is the third edition of The Weight of the Union report. This year, we took a different approach. We looked at the macro view of the country in comparison to other countries.

Did you know that we are the wealthiest country in the world, but we aren’t healthy. Bloomberg rated the United States #33 on their “healthiest country” list. Sad, right?

Well enough chit-chat…here is the infographic. Enjoy!
