Five on Friday

As with every Friday, today I am linking up with The Good Life Blog, Hello! Happiness, Carolina Charm, and A. Liz Adventures for "Five on Friday."

  

Please don't forget to join me and Aly for our link-up: Three Thanks! We love the gratitude that we've seen and read so far!

I love me some randomness, so let's get 'er started!

~~ONE~~

My parents rented Frozen for us to watch together on Saturday night, and we all (minus my dad who thought it was kind of boring) LOVED it.

For once Disney created a movie where the female characters save themselves, where romantic love is not necessarily a premise of the story, and where sisters are pretty kick-ass.

I loved, loved, loved it.

Also, Let It Go is still one of my favorite songs. Again, LOVE.

As soon as the movie isn't $19.99, I'm totally buying it -- and watching it again and again and again (much like all of you parents of toddlers have done).

~~TWO~~

As you read this, I am likely en route to St. Louis. (Every time I type that, I can't help but sing some Nelly to myself. I hope all of you 30-somethings are right there with me.)

I am super pumped for a weekend away with the girls and am really hoping we stake out claim to this area and don't leave all weekend:

There's not a whole lot I like more than a good rooftop bar. Seriously: heaven.

~~THREE~~

Speaking of St. Louis, this is going to be my first trip (other than Omaha, twice) during my lifestyle change. While I know I will stray from Whole30 (as eating out most meals at unknown restaurants will be tricky -- and, let's be real, I may want a glass or two of wine with my girlfriends), I am going to try to be at least cognizant of my food choices and select options that somewhat align with the way that I have been eating for the past month-and-a-half.

If I stray too far, after all, I will be spending the weekend in the bathroom -- not with the girls. :)

And since we're sharing a hotel room, that would not be good for anyone involved.

~~FOUR~~

Because I finished Whole45 on Wednesday, I weighed myself yesterday morning. I am down 2.8 pounds since I finished Whole30, which means I am down 9.4 pounds overall. That is almost ten pounds in six weeks, y'all. I'm pretty stoked about that.

And let's be real: my weight could actually be lower since right now it's likely jacked up due to hormones. And, it would be lower still if I worked out regularly like I should be doing.

Eating whole, non-processed foods works, friends!

~~FIVE~~

Remember how I've been so excited for HBO GO and the ability I now have to watch Game of Thrones with the rest of the world?

Well, I am still super pumped (and thankful!) to have HBO GO, but I have yet to see the season premiere! I have had such a busy week with tennis meets, bowling, and a migraine and have just not had a chance to watch it.

I guess I'll have to have a double-dose of GoT sometime next week.

I. can't. wait.

Have a wonderful Friday, friends!
