iPhone, Forever21, and P90x.
How was everyone’s weekend?? I had a pretty good one, you all know about the engagement party I went to and then yesterday I finally made the switch from my beloved blackberry to an iPhone. I have debated doing this for months but I truly loved my keypad on my Blackberry Tour. Emails were super easy and I could type really fast and not even need to look. However, that is about the only thing that was holding me back. I wanted to have the fun apps and play Words With Friends (which I’m already obsessed with)…and I wanted to be able to Facetime with my boyfriend who lives on the other side of the country at the moment. So, I made the switch.
I got a pretty new white iPhone to fit right in with my white Macbook and white iPod. Let’s just say I have been playing on my phone a LOT since I got it yesterday…I still kind of miss my Blackberry but honestly…it just didn’t do what an iPhone can! So there’s my reasoning on that 
Yesterday my appetite kind of felt off a little because I was still recovering from the night before…I rarely will drink more than 1 glass of wine but I probably had one too many at the engagement party. Not to the point I was drunk that night, but enough that the next day my tummy hurt. Hate that! I basically chugged water all day. When it came to be dinner time, I was actually starving and helped myself to a huge plate of rib roast, brown rice, and veggies.
Let’s not forget dessert…
YUM.
Then this morning I woke up and had a chocolate peanut butter & banana wrap.
With my coffee, obvi!
Look what else I saw in the paper this morning…
Angels started singing.
I LOVE F21 but Durham has never had one. I used to go in Winston-Salem all the time. Yay for budget-friendly shopping! I just have to wait until November for it to get here. BOO. I am so impatient.
Now I’m thinking of reintroducing P90x into my life. I used to do it all the time last summer and kind of backed off once I started training for half marathons but now I think I need some more strength training in my life.
I have read in Oxygen Magazine that every pound of muscle you have burns 50 extra calories a day. Pretty sweet incentive to use weights, among other benefits
The AB challenge for today is bicycle abs. I didn’t snap a picture of myself but these are a pretty popular move I think so you probably already know how to do them…but I’ll type out the directions.
- lay on your back and bring your shoulder blades off the ground as you take your left elbow across your body to meet your right knee. Switch and repeat on the other side. That is 1 repetition, do 3 sets of 20 reps!
- Anyone out there make the decision between a BB and an iPhone? I know Droids are also popular, my brother has one of those and LOVES it. He also gets Words with Friends so I get to play him, too. Beat him with a stellar performance in our first game
haha - Do you like Forever 21? Yes, Love. Such a huge store with so many different clothes and best of all…CHEAP.
- Have you ever tried P90x? Did you like it? I was a big fan last year when I did it for almost 2 months straight but then just stopped for no particular reason except I was running so much. Its been collecting dust so its time to bust it back out. I also got sick and tired of watching Tony fawn over Dreya…it made me throw up in my mouth a little. If you’ve done P90x then you know what I’m talkin’ about! It is so so weird.
i LOVE forver 21!! i wish they had it over here!!
umm WOW love your wrap! and NOOOO blackberry all da way!!
hahah I know I was totally a blackberry baby but now I have been converted
I LOVE F21. I go to the one in Las Vegas (it’s enormous!) whenever we vacation there.
I’ve never tried P90x, but I’ve been wanting to. It’s hard for me to fit in strength training, but I know I need it.
it would definitely help you get it in!
AHHHHH I LOVE YOUR IPHONE!!! I want to play words with friends with you!!! My iphone is white too!!! We should do facetime ha:) That dinner looks amazing and I love banana wraps. I only do yoga p90x…. I LOVE FOREVER 21…I buy all my clothes there. Hope you are having an amazing day gorgeous girl!
I sent you a words with friends request! I hope it was the right name…hahaha I totally just guessed
yay to getting the iPhone! I am waiting to upgrade to the iPhone 5 this fall! I’ve never tried P90x but do Jillian’s ripped in 30. Chris’ dad does P90 though and loves it!
PS I just posted my giveaway! Have a great day gorg!
I entered your giveaway like 18 times! haha I hope I win yayy!
I recently made the change from BB to iPhone. Best. decision. ever. Hands down!
I’ve only ever done p90x yoga. I just can’t get into working out at home
yeah I have to be in the right mood!
I know what you mean about P90X. I just can’t take them anymore. I was doing the videos a lot last year as well but just had to move on. Occasionally I will do the legs video cuz it still kicks my butt but enough already with Dreya and Tony!
yeah I just pop in a random DVD depending on what I feel like doing. So glad others noticed dreya and tony’s disgusting lovefest also haha
Your abs challenge is awesome, I get so excited to see your posts with new exercises. Congrats on the new phone, it looks sleek and chic! F21 is awesome, I am currently anticipating the arrival of H&M here in October! If you do p90x again, you should definitely do some photo documentation. I would love to see what changes it makes to someone who is already in great shape!!
aw yay! glad you like the abs moves!! I don’t know if I’m going to start doing the full p90x program again but maybe in the future…I’ll think about it! But it did get me more toned than I had ever been.
A while back I made the switch from BB to iPhone and I love it! It does take some getting use too though. <3 Forever 21 too!
yeah I’m still getting used to the typing but I think I’m doing okay!
Yayayaya for Forever21! That store is GOLD!
agreeeeeed! love it.
adore F21 for EVER haha..and how pretty i LOVe white!! it’s such a crisp and clean color! I have a white BB Torch that I got for CHristmas- I also had been dating to get the Iphone but since the ‘white’ color wasn’t coming out until this spring and I’m impatient, I went for the BB instead ha. Glad you love it though girl! xo happy monday!
I actually won a white torch from a contest and sold it on ebay because I have Verizon not At&t…got some good cash for it! lol but it was so pretty, had I been able to use it I would have!
Ummm words with friends is the best. I’m gonna send a game request your way!!! Look for one from jennycamps
I love F21 as well – however I have to be in the mood to go in there or I get overwhelmed!!!

ZOMG – Tony and Dreya total barf fest!!! He also fawns over a few of the guys I noticed.
I wish we would get an F21 here or even a few of the other like stores. Our mall suckkkkks. I loved P90X but I wasn’t getting the results I need – I wanted to drop weight and then also build muscle. I was getting muscle only.
hahah barf fest. so funny.
Mmmm that wrap looks so good. I’m currently eating dark choc PB straight from the jar =P
Dying to try P90x! Though Ive heard it’s really intense!!
thats the best way to eat it! I may be doing that tomorrow with some oats in a jar
I was estatic when Forever 21 came to Omaha. I go crazy over there simple basic tees and leggings. The boyfriend bought p90x and really wanted me to try it with him, but I was also running alot more so I decided not too. I am working on incoporating more weights into my workouts and have conisdered trying p90x for a while. He lasted for a week and got bored, ha. I do have some issues with doing dvds, sometimes I like to zone out and do my own thing.
yeah its hard for me to follow the schedule now but I did for awhile. Now i just like to do random DVDs when I feel like it. Its def a good workout…got me more toned than I had ever been
I really want to switch my blackberry to an iPhone but my husband says I drop my phone too much to own an iPhone. He says I have to not drop my blackberry for 30 days and then once I do that, I can get one
I love Forever21, I was just at one in Philadelphia this weekend 
They have the cutest clothes and it’s all under $25, can’t beat that!!

hold on to that BB!! haha
I like forever 21 but I have to be in the mood to search I usually feel like it is very very overwhelming. I have an iPhone and I am seriously in love-but I never had a black berry and now I never will! Haven’t tried P90X but I am starting it in June with my aunt as our strength training to go along with running. My boyfriend did it for a while but I’m not sure how much I’m going to like it because I think the guy is pretty annoying. I do Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper DVD’s recently and I really like both of them and the exercises so they’re tolerable not so sure about Mr. Tony?
Tony is fine, he just flirts with Dreya a LOT. Fortunately, Dreya is only in 3 of the 12 dvds so its not all the workouts, only some
Congrats on your new baby
I love my iphone!!! Never going back. And Forever21 has such cute clothes, I adore shopping there. Btw I love how you got the white one, I didn’t have that option when the new iphone 4 came out 
aw sad! I got lucky, got the last white one in the store!
Oh my gosh I am glad someone feels the same way I do about Tony and Dreya! . I feel like I get a good work out with P90x. I am a runner too and this is really the only way I do much strength training. I’m not good a lifting weigths and doing strength unless I have someone showing me what to do. Get annoyed by Tony about 2 minutes into each video (he is SO weird!) but I feel good doing the workouts and I can tell they have made me stronger. My P90x sessions usually involve me expressing my annoyance with Tony to the tv. I know he can’t hear me, but I feel better just getting it out!:)
haha yeah just yell at him all you want, i totally make smart ass comments to him! haha
Holy jebus, that roast looks drooltastic!
haha yep! totally was
I am still a hardcore Blackberry user — I have one for work and one which is personal! Although, I have to say, the iPhone is so, so quick. I have never done P90x–but I have known a few friends who have and they all really liked the results. As for Foreve21, I love it! I just find their sizes to be odd.
yeah my bb was SO SLOW. And yeah I have extra smalls from Forever21 and extra larges…the sizes are definitely strange haha
I LOVE Words with Friends! It’s ssooooo much fun to play! I’m starting P90X Insanity on June 1st, so we’ll see how that goes!
good luck girl! you’re gunna be ripped!
Anyone out there make the decision between a BB and an iPhone? IPHONE all the way, I think I’ve gotten every version that has come out, except I have the black version of yours
Do you like Forever 21? Do I like forever 21, I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!
They never fail me.
Have you ever tried P90x? Did you like it?
I know that p90x is great and you get amazing result. However, I’ve tried it and it’s just so dang HARD. My husband loves it and swears by it! I could barely get through the first disc. BUT I see myself giving it another shot
everything deserves a second chance
haha
ha check out my fudge today, they are super nice!
alrighty!
I think I am one of the few people left that has a regular old phone with no Internet haha I was too cheap to pay the extra money per month, but now I am thinking about making the switch…
Yes I also love Forever 21! It’s funny though, I have to go in with the right mentality, like ready to shop and look around. It can be quite overwhelming but awesome
yeah its worth it if you like to have internet on the go and play fun games.
