Don't fix my smile, Life is long enough!


I am not sure if I can say I enjoyed my day off of Insanity yesterday. I did not get any sleep, so needless to say I did not get to sleep in. I felt lazy and fat all day. At work, I felt like I was stuffing my face all day and I was not... Weird. Then we had YET ANOTHER snow storm, so I had Odin's dad get him from his day care, and he stayed there for the night. So Matt and I had the house to ourself and all I could do is sit on my backside. I hated it. My ankles and knee hurt so bad. I took an ambien and ended up falling asleep on the couch and woke up at 5:30 in the morning feeling MUCH better!

So I got up excited for Pure Cardio!!! Matt had told me last night he was gonna shovel instead of work out so sure! I kick a$$ working out by myself. It was dark outside when I started. When I finished I was covered is sweat and peaked out the window thinking I should help Matt shovel. Our neighbor was out there with him with the snow blower, so I decided the best way I can help Matt was to get in the shower and start making our lunches. I got in the shower, did my thing, put some bread in the toaster and then I looked outside!!!! HOLY Sh_t we got over a foot of snow!!! I had no clue we got that much snow! Mother Nature has been a BEAST this winter and we have a good month and a half to go yet!!! NO MORE SNOW PLEASE!

Matt ended up taking the day off from work and taking care of car business and finished shoveling out the driveway. What a nice boyfriend right!!! He even went and got Odin down at my Mom's for me so I did not have to drive after dark (black ice!). I love him! Which also gave me some time and Energy to work out tonight. I hit up the Eliptical for 40 minutes, did some core and strength moves and also DANCED, like NO ONE was watching. Even though Odin was down there with me, he did not want to dance nor work out. I think he may be tired from playing in the snow all day with Elijah. He has been a BULL since the moment he walked in the door!

Tomorrow is a weigh in for work. I need to be 138.4!!! Wish me luck! I need it! I am pretty sure I need to go now before Odin has a nervous breakdown over brushing his teeth! See you tomorrow!

Any thing on the menu that has Cowboy in it equals no good!


So I have been sick... so sick my mom had to come up to Emmaus to help me take care of Odin. (I have the absolute BEST mother in the whole wide world!) So it all started Thursday, I woke up did my work out which was Cardio Power and Resistance, got Odin ready for school, then I was off to work. While I was on my way I started to feel pain in my belly! Well I got worse and worse through out the day. I stormed out of work like an hour early and barely made it to Odin's day care and took my spot on the couch for the next day and a half. So needless to say I did not get to do Pure Cardio on Friday. I could not even lift the remote control let alone do push ups and stuff. I had only a hand full of pretzel sticks and a bite or two of an whole wheat English muffin on Thursday. I did not really eat anything till Matthew got home around 4 on Friday and ate a slice of pizza, which was a bad idea! A really really bad idea.


I went to go see Odin test for his Yellow Sash for Kung Fu! He got it! Way to go Idaho! He was so proud!!! I was amazed, I was able to survive the hour and a half with out fainting. I did run to the bathroom once and sat on the floor several times. (oh I am so dramatic when I don't feel good). But all in all I was ok. I ended the night dying on the couch watching Inception with Matt. Good movie, very interesting!


This morning the pizza came back to haunt me and I got sick. I asked Matthew to drive me to gt my new glasses and felt a bit better. Well after that, I am still not sure we made the right decision and did our work out today, Plyometric Cardio Circuit. (The toughest one).


Matthew had a week off of working out and eating Cowboy Platters (Two burgers on top of wedge potatoes, on top of macaroni salad on top of buns ...GROSS !! guess I feed him too much tofu at home) and I was as you know sick with NO energy. So lets just say we looked like we were gonna die! I think Matt's cowboy platter caused him to take brakes more then me, the sick one! Hahaha. Now I did break a few times, but not as much as I thought I would! By the end my arms were exhausted and I struggled with the push up and the plank moves but I did the best I could.


Tomorrow is Sunday and Cardio Recovery, I think depending on how I feel I may throw Pure Cardio in too. I don't know. That is the one I missed Friday. Maybe instead of that I will just go to the gym and have some fun there. Only time will tell.


Side note ,my team : Fat and Inches Sherreders (FIS) won the first weeks challenge. We lost 20.3 pounds! HOLY COW Both teams combined lost 33.6lbs. and every one involved lost weight. That makes me soooooooooo happy. I reached all my goals which was to lose 1.5 lbs and lost 2.2lbs and to not hit snooze all week. hehe I did it! I am going to treat myself and go to the gym and tan, I have not done that in FOREVER!


My new goals for this week is to lose half a pound, because I think 1.5 was too much for me, and to not weigh myself till Friday am. That will be hard for me cause I weigh myself like 100 times a day. I think I am going to hide my scale right now. See you tomorrow!
