Happy Tuesday!

First, I have to say it: Inauguration was awesome!
I love my President and Vice President! (and their families!)

Back to the real world:

I'm killing my squats and pushups for the challenges, but I must confess - I gave up on the burpee challenge after the third day! I just suck at burpees! I mean really bad. I was afraid I'd end up on my nose on the concrete, and I just wasn't that into it. I know, I suck. I don't care. I'll figure them out in the spring. ;)

I've discovered that it can be really hard to eat every three hours. I'm finding it really hard to do, and now I've been stuck at the same weight for the past two weeks. I'm having to push myself to drink all the water I need because it's not something I enjoy in the winter. On the other hand, I'm now eating oatmeal every morning. I don't know what it is about it, but I'm really loving it!

I've added more to my arms workout and I'm telling myself I can already feel a difference. I really need to get my pullup bar installed. I meant to already have it up, but things just aren't getting done like I want them to. I've reduced my cardio to two days a week due to laziness, and I'm absolutely sure I need to fix that. Good gourd, do I really need an hour of cardio every freakin' day???

I think I just need the warm weather to get here. NOW!

Happy New Year!

It's been a while since I last posted, but it's a new year and maybe I can stick with it this time. :) We'll see how it goes.I lost 25 pounds in 2012 and I feel so much better thanks to clean eating!


What I'm doing now:

• I'm actively searching for a job.
• I'm patiently waiting on classes to start in a couple of weeks.
• I'm going back to eating clean after a two week break for the holidays.
• I'm doing the green smoothie challenge. (Love 'em, but I get so tired of washing the blender!)
• I'm doing a push-up challenge. (The desk kind for now.)
• I'm doing a burpees challenge. (I really suck at these.)
• I'm doing a squat challenge. (Love 'em! They make me feel strong!)

 

I'm finally getting back into the swing of things after the holiday break. I slacked off on my workouts, but I'm slowly making myself get back in gear. We've all decided that from now on we're having healthier holiday meals. I really thought I would enjoy eating all the fatty, high carb crap we used to eat, but boy was I wrong! I really did enjoy all the baking again (that's something I really miss), but I had a problem with the chocolate chip cookies - I could not pass them up!

Here's our little Christmas tree!

I'd leave it up all year long if I had the room for it!

Christmas 2012

Looking forward to a strong and healthy 2013!
