So here we are again.Yes, I got fakes put back on. I am in a wedding in April and decided I wanted them again for the shower and parties and then eventually for the wedding. I know I'm so vain, but I love having them.

Here are my nails this week:

I've almost completed two full weeks of using MyFitnessPal. 
Is anyone else on there? Find me at ladanielson.

Using this app, has made me realize how much I'm eating and what I'm eating and also that working out on a daily basis affects my calories. I'm proud that since joining the gym and really committing myself back on February 16th I am down about 5 lbs. That's about a pound a week, which is HUGE for me! I can already feel it in my clothes and can tell my body is changing for the better. 

I've been exercising about 3 times per week. Usually Zumba.I've also been eating better, eating smaller portions, I cut out coffee completely (for lent), am limiting soda and drinking more water. Oofta. It's all hard work, but it's really paid off so far. It's only been one month and I'm just beginning, but I feel like I've gotten a good start and want to keep on going. I've found a lot of motivation all around me from fellow bloggers to my friends to just seeing the results of it all and wanting to keep going.

This week I have been groovin to Nelly's "Hey Porsche." He is one fine lookin specimen.



I love it and crank it up anytime I hear it!

I'm so happy that Fashion Star is back! Anyone else watch it? I love Jessica Simpson. Always have and always will. I have no shame and I know she's a ditz, but girl knows her shit and no one can argue with that.

I'm excited about my two new Zumba workout tanks I got off Zulilly. I'm slowly building up my stash of new AND cute workout clothes. I've realized I don't like working out in anything else other than tanks. I just get too hot in t-shirts and I like working out if I feel like I look cute.

Also? Can we talk about cuteness, please? My friend owns a laser business and made me this cutsom iPhone 4s case. I just got it today and am in love!!!

I'm looking forward to this weekend. No really big plans. I am going to a jeans party tomorrow evening, running some errands and hopefully a little shopping at the MOA.

What about you?

So I am continuing my Photoaday Challenge this year, but I am not using any sort of prompt. I am taking a few photos a day and then picking one per day to be that photoaday winner.

I always post these to Instagram, most of the time I also post them to twitter and some times I will post them to facebook.

You can find me on each of the social media outlets and connect with me on my sidebar.

Me in 2013. Bring it! HNY. #day1 #photoaday365

The Drankas were in town for a wedding, so we got together with them at the EP Mall and let Ellie and Hailey play and then we all grabbed a bite to eat at the food court.

I invited my friends Jenny, Katie and Laura to come with me this year to So You Think You Can Dance. It was at a smaller theater this year, which was more fun and intimate.

My favortie of the season was Tiffany. She was the runner-up.

Eliana won, which I was ok with.

We met for dinner beforehand and then went to the show. I love that my friends watch some of the same shows I do and we can chat about it. I had so much fun!

Today was our annual Stager Family Christmas. There were a lot that couldn't make it this year, which always makes me sad, but we still had fun!

Today was our 6 year wedding anniversary. I always think that I can't fall anymore in love with him, but it never fails. My love for him has only grown stronger and deeper over the years together.

I love you, Wayne!

Phillip Phillips from American Idol came into the KDWB Skyroom today. I haven't watched Idol im years, since Simon left and they started changing the judges, but I do love Phillip's voice and was so excited to see him and meet him in person.

I went to see the Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiere at West End in St. Louis Park with my cousin Nicole and LOVED it. It was such a great ending to the series!!

We are usually at my parents house and eat at noon and then make krumkake in the afternoon. It's our yearly tradition. My aunt Laurie always makes the batter and then we have our two oven going and two rollers. It's a lot of work, but so fun! Hailey tasted it this year for the first time and loved it.

 photo Collage-Thanksgiving_zps031c473e.jpg 

After, we're done with that, we usually stop at Wayne's Mom's house and eat with them for dinner. We always end the night at home and so full from all the yummy foods.

Happy Thanksgiving!
