Ok, ok, I know, it's the same old same old. I have no excuses but, I can make some up. Today I hit the 183.3 mark. What the hell is up with that? I actually was down .1 yesterday. I was doing good--not great but good. Then I started planning, that's a good thing. I go to the grocery store and they are wiped out. I mean wiped out. I couldn't buy much of anything. Apparently the 2 inches of snow that hit Atlanta not only made people crazy with fear of dying of starvation in a matter of 48 hours, but no deliveries could come into the store. It was crazy! So my plan was tarnished. I wanted to be good but Atlanta kept me from being good. I think I can sue the government for not salting the roads and allowing me to purchase the right foods therefore forcing me to eat bad.
Anyway, I decided to go out for Chinese since it was the start of Chinese New Year. Well that just leads to more bad decisions. On the way home John asked if I wanted dessert. I said, "No, I really don't need it." He wanted Oreos which is fine by me because I honestly don't care for them. So we stop at Publix. Of course on our way, my mind was thinking of Publix Bakery and all the little goodies. My thoughts were, "I'll just get one slice of something." Seriously how bad is a little slice? It's not like I'm going to buy an entire cake or pie. So, instead of sitting in the car while John ran in to get his Oreos, I went in with him. I did not get a little piece of cake. I bought the monster slice of cheesecake that is dipped in chocolate and adorned with whipped cream. Heaven in a box.
Today I got up feeling all bloated and fat--because I am bloated and fat! So I decided to start the Plump Glutes Circuit that I have been thinking of starting to do for about a month or two.
50 Squats
30 Walking Lunges
20 Jump Squats
30 Side Lunges
50 Bridges
50 Glute Kickbacks
Repeat 3 Times (I am sure this means 3 times a week) (jk)
Now there is NO WAY I can do that, but I had to start somewhere. Today I did half of one set. This might seem lame to most fitness gurus but it is a start for me. In fact it was a real work out for me. It tore me up. Oh, and if you are not aware--make sure you are wearing a bra when you do this. Oh, I was still in my pjs and let me tell you those jump squats are killers on the boobs. I had to hold them down--but tomorrow I will put my bra on first.
Come on Mary!! You can DO this!! I want to see your beautiful self in 2 weeks!! I have a sweater that shrunk I'm bringing you. It's lush! I got it in Vienna I think, really nice, but I'm crap at laundry apparently. Only wore it a few times. PUSH yourself to do that workout!! DO IT DO IT DO IT!!! My trainer would say, yes you can, when I say "I can't do that", and I have said that. A lot. Not so much anymore but occasionally. Now get it done!! I want to hear that you did it!
ReplyDeleteI have been a little better. I cut out the Port--that is a huge cut in calories. I am sticking to my diet a little better but best of all I am doing that work out. It is just half a rep but seriously it is killer for me. This week John is out of town and I have a conference in Atlanta so I am going to stay at Christy's. We are going to work out together and she always eats right. I won't have much of a choice around her. I should be able to get in the right mood with John gone.
ReplyDeleteWorking on it!
Good! I love how I feel after a workout! I fly in on the 17th when do u get there?
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn I answered this. I get there Thursday afternoon. I spent the week at Christy's because John was out of town and I lost 3 pounds!!
