I worked out twice today. I think that’s kinda great.
I know that I wax eloquent sometimes about how far I’ve gone and how far I have to go and yada yada yada.
But this is actually happening and can be kinda fun.

Tonight I worked out with Billy the husband of my sweet Finnly. and we devised a new challenge.
Starting tomorrow the 3 of us will weigh in and August 21st whoever has lost the highest percentage of body weight will win margarita’s from our local mexican resturaunt.
I’m gonna win…
Billy thinks he will, but he is wrong.
If I don’t Finnly will. Cause we will beat the boy.
In other news, it’s nice to be home…now to undo the effects of vacationing… ugh.

Sometimes it all comes together in a good, odd and random way.
My dear friend Finn and I have previously worked out super early at 4am. Life happened and we eventually digressed from the time. Because really… you body never gets use to it. Or ours didn’t. But I missed our daily chat time and I consider her a dear friend.
Well we decided to get back to it. And are now going about 4 days a week at 4am to our local lovely 24 hour gym.
Monday was the first day we were to start back. I woke up at 2 from some uneasy sleep and as I too often do, I checked my twitter and through a friend discovered that she was up as well. Before we knew it we had decided to gym it at 2:30 instead… yep people 2:30am IN THE FREAKIN MORNING. I never admit to think things through all the time. Sure enough by the end of 5:30’s bootcamp my body was draaaagggging.
But we did it, we went and I feel like we’re back in the routine. Granted for some stupid reason this is also the week I have randomly decided to forgo caffenine… heh. I’m on day 4 and luckily the headache has subsideded as has the fog brain.
Random blog but I need to remember the time we went to workout at 2:30am cause it’s just funny ya’ll.

I have decided that I’ve been a slacker, sure I’m losing weight and working kinda hard, but am I doing enough? I could easily do more and should be. This isn’t a one day event this is the rest of my life and unless I get a handle now, the changes I make will only be temporary and I will be right back to this place…plus the weight I have already shed and then some.
I don’t want that for myself. I’m better than that.
I finally get that this is MY life and while I made the decisions to get here it wasn’t overnight. It was gradual and eventually life altering. So why do I think I’m changing overnight? It’s not gonna happen that way… never will.
So lets start with this week.
Bootcamp 3x
Gym 4x
Runs 2x 1.5 miles
Drink my water daily
Food – being a vegetarian means I should actually EAT vegetables – so yea. there ya go.
Anyway I love this clip and while I am not declaring bankruptcy I am declaring stuff.

Starts back today! I’m ready to go. Come a ways from my first class when I thought I would die during the assesment… Looking forward to seeing everyone they have become part of my routine and I like routine somedays… (don’t tell Donita… I’ll deny it)
I also love that I get to spend quality time with my little sis. We have fun in our class and it’s something we can share.
It’s Monday again… but more on that later.

I do better when I feel challenged. In workouts, in writting, in relationships. I like to work hard for what I recieve… and the opposite is true when I am not challenged when things are handed to me I don’t appreciate them as I should or could. It’s not that I’m not grateful but I guess I’m one of those who like to rise to the challenge and be the better version of myself. I’m not the best version of myself yet but I’m working on that.
I’m off to training today in Nashville for a newsletter system for work. I’m excited about going and then this weekend will be a variety of activites all sure to be fun.
But today, is the last day of bootcamp. The last official workout of 6weeks of hard work. Then next Monday I have the assesment to evaluate how well or not well I have done. I have never been as challenged in a workout as this. I want to do well, I want to be the best. I’m better than I have been…. But I have a long way to go. It’s gonna happen.

I have been feeling frustrated and like I’m never gonna make it. I love boot camp, but I get tired of being the last one to finish things. Then I re-read this, this morning and I have come a long way. I have miles to go, but with one step I’m gonna get there. Is there something that you are working against today? Is there a goal I can help you with?
This was a recap about my first 5k enjoy

Right now I am checking like a mad woman at the progress of our very own snow storm in middle tennessee (meaning, nothing to write home about, although it does look pretty). I worked out last night and did the Jillian 30 Day Shred, it kinda rocked and I feel as though I did decently.
Just finished my first book of the year Diet Girl . I seriously loved it and highly recomend the read to anyone trying to stay healthy. The author is frank and honest about her own struggles and learning to live life without excuses. There were moments in it that I wanted to highlite and past to my mirror.
So the roads are actually getting slick and stuff around Ville of Nash, but so far in Field of Spring the main roads are fine and you just need to be aware and not drive like an idiot.
I want to write about some serious stuff there are some pretty big happenings in my life right now, but I’m not ready for that yet… how do you like that for a teaser of things to come? So anyway….
Can I say on a sidenote that I’m in serious like with my crazy 4am gym buddy Finn there haven’t been many people who I would willingly meet at the crack of dawn in the name of good health. I’m glad she is one of those people.

I have all these great blogs started of actual content… But then I find something I really need to share and I post that instead, I know it’s a cop-out but I own up to it, so eh there ya go.
Life is good, holiday season started out exactly as it should. At a table and around people I love. I prepared some g-free stuff for the fam that was well recieved and made a kick butt pumpkin cheesecake so that was exciting. Oh and from scratch caramel sauce that was pretty sweet…harharhar.
I’m at the gym at 4am almost every morning, I feel good about it, but I also want to see results yesterday. I get so humanly frustrated when I look in the mirror and there I am, same as before. I wish people were able to see the me that I think I am. Cause I kinda like her… how is that for real?
As of Dec 14th I will be working in the Springfield Office… kinda exciting, nervous, nauseous and all that. It’s kinda full circle but I really have to step up my game. I mean seriously. Not just in spfd, but in Rgate to close out my files. I also am sad about not being able to stop at the bux every day. Silly I know, but there have been days when outside of clients they are the only people I see. I love having the touch of humanity that isn’t depending on me. Okay so this blog is waaaay to deep for a girl about to go to sleep. So onto my Christmas list. HA
Dear Santa, If you would like to give me anything for the holiday, cause I have tried to be good, here are a few pointers. Dr. Who season 4 would rock, don’t worry about season 3 it wasn’t a fav. A Kindle/Nook/E-Reader* with accessories or fun stuff would be appreciated. Any season of Torchwood. Cheese of the Month or Paying my electric bill… Also, don’t worry about the jerky of the month club this year, I’m still doing the veggie thing…
thanks!
(*santa, I’m totally kidding about my list and really don’t expect to get any of it. I just want to spend some time with the fam and friends. thats my idea of a good Christmas… just sayin)
