I am officially on week 3 of Jamie Eason‘s LiveFit Trainer. I really slacked off this weekend and completely beat myself up about it. I took Friday off (usually my day 1) to drink with a good friend (WTF, really?!), I was going to pull a 2-a-day on Saturday, but was too hung over and crampy to do it (when have cramps ever stopped me before…pussy), I took Sunday off because…I forgot to come up with an excuse. What would I normally do in this situation? Continue to beat myself up, call myself names, and “punish” myself with an extra hard trip at the gym.
NOT THIS TIME!
I mean, think about it: I enjoy working out. I absolutely KILLED my legs on Saturday, and am loving the soreness right now. I’ve been great with my diet. I know the benefits of working out. I know exactly what I have to lose (weight) and gain (muscle definition). Punishment is not an option. It is so negative, and I want my life to be centered around positive things from this point forward (kickass son, kickass fiance, kickass health, kickass guns).
Also, I’ve been looking at fitso things all morning, and it put me in a good/workouty mood.
The point to this is: I’m going to go to the gym and work extra hard today, but not to punish myself. To show myself that I CAN and I WILL do what it takes to be healthy and fit. And to look good in a bikini at our beach wedding. Which is in 6 weeks!
But 80% more important that all that jazz is: What’s for dinner tonight?! I’m surprising the future hubby with an attempt at Persian Kabobs, crunchy rice, and tzatziki. I hope it turns out well! It is my favorite dish at his parents house (duh), and I would love to recreate it! And besides, there is a crap ton of garlic in it. And….I’m not sure if you know this…but I fucking love garlic.
Oh yeah! I’ll also post some pictures of this weekends dinners. I slacked this weekend, obviously, but I’m back on it now! (Thank you, Google).
And because no post is complete without some random picture of The Bug looking adorable:
Until next time,
Mrs. P
I am a 20 something focused on being a kickass mommy, fiance, cook, and worker-outer. I love everything about cooking (besides desserts, but I'm working on that), and I always try to make everything healthy. I live in Houston with my fiance PattyCakes, my son, The Bug, and my 2 puppies, Sir Reginald and Beaux. I absolutely love my family and would do anything for them. But I won't do that. I love crappy scary movies, disney movies, indie music, Hank III, classic rock, horribly childish jokes, naughty language, reading, Harry Potter, lifting weights, cooking, football, Nebraska, and being outdoors. I am getting married in May to the absolute love of my life. He is my greatest supporter in everything that I do, and my best friend and joke-provider. I lost a shit ton of weight a few years ago (193 down to 142 in 3 months) by eating healthy and doing P90X. I gained 25 pounds of that back, and am now working to get back down to a healthy weight using Weight Watchers and LiveFit. So far so good! So, read, enjoy, learn something, teach me something, and have fun!
