Happy Friday everyone!!!
This month has been a glutinous one. I had come down with a knock-you-on-your-butt kind of virus for a week, and then for the past two weeks it subsided to where I was able to function but still have not been able to kick the achiness. So for the last 3 weeks, I have not worked out one single time. Then you add in a weekend away for my birthday (where I ate all kinds of yummy but bad for you food) and then more eating out since we’ve been back home (since I still feel a bit icky and I have no desire to cook). All of that equals extra pounds, and I’m done.
Do you ever get to the point that you kind of can’t stand your body, and you have to do something to change it?
That’s where I’m at people. Monday I am turning over a new leaf and getting back to the whole clean eating/working out thing that I so dread. It may not be fun, but when you turn 40 you can no longer survive on frozen pizzas and mac and cheese from a box, and you have to face the fact that you have to drag your fat behind to the gym.
So here I go again. Back to making green smoothies, dragging out the workout dvds, and logging hours on the elliptical.
Hopefully this time next month my jeans will be fitting a little looser, I’ll have more energy, and I won’t cringe as I walk by a mirror.
On to my favorite pins of the week!
Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups
I can;t imagine that you look as bad as you think you do. I do know when I eat junk food, I feel ucky too! If course I have never been as trim as you and your mother.
Glad you are feeling better and hope the exercise will make you feel much better. Did you have a wonderful Birthday in KC? Spending mine in the hospital with Carol was certainly different. It was so nice to have your parents come by last Saturday. I hadn’t seen them for a long time.
I want want of those canopy beds! Always thought they were neat, but my home won’t accomm0date one. Our ceilings are too low.
Carol is getting stronger everyday!
Thanks for the birthday card and I really did enjoy it…
Your birthday twin,
Maxine
