MAE, IN A NUTSHELL...

Ahhhhhhmazing!!!

Day 5 of BL 30 day jumpstart… Again! I am still amazed at the amount of “real” food one has to eat in order to get the proper amount of calories in one’s body for fuel! I am sick of eating already… But I can’t wait for sushi date night…. Whenever that is!

Oh… And I have stared CrossFit and LOVE IT! I am so addicted!

Catch ya soon!

Day 13—- Getting Close!!!

Well, hello there! I know it has been awhile, but my family comes first and I haven’t had time to log in and let you know what’s been going on.

My heel has been bothering me so I’ve backed off of the exercise and made an appt with the doctor. Yesterday, I tried CrossFit for the first time and LOVED it!! I am so sore right now. We had an absolute blast. However, I also realized that I need to workout more to prepare for Nashville.

decidediamworthit told me a fact that I think I already knew, but just needed to hear from someone other than my hubby… She said, “Your heel is going to hurt whether you exercise or not!” True! So, I went out and cycled for 45 minutes today. Sooooo therapeutic! I heard birds chirping and rode by some fields with horses! Hardly a car on the rode! Very nice way to start a morning!!!

My challenge is to get cardio in daily.

God bless and enjoy your Sunday!

Day 24… Oh yeah!

Other people are starting to notice! Today was great! I’m sore, I love my new hurt locker shirt, and more people notice my overflowing endorphins! My doc and I talked about marathons today!!! Yep, it’s nice to have that in common with the people you work with! I’m trying to just be healthy for me, yet its funny how it rubs off on other people!

Speaking of, christwalk… Awesome that you are doing a Tri! I’m jealous!

Anywho… Gonna do great tomorrow again, how bout you?

God bless!

OMC…. Day 25!!!

Well, I missed blogging this weekend! Honestly, my family came first and I didn’t have time to write!
Day 27 was an awesome day! Did 30 minutes on the elliptical, found a new favorite protein drink “Mocha Cappuccino” by Bolthouse Farms! Delish! Also, 2 parties on Saturday!

Sunday was well, obviously Day 26, and my rest day. It was a great day at church and we grilled out! It’s great to be able to do that and play with the kids!

So, you are probably wondering, ” what does OMC mean ?..” My plan today was to go to the gym after work and I just didn’t want to go to the gym when I could do the elliptical at home and help out. When I got home, I decided to go CYCLING!! Man, did I love it! I haven’t ridden a bike in who knows how long… But it was great…. OMC stands for “Oh My Cycling!”
My thighs were burning and I was sweating like a pig… It was great!

I plan to do weights in the morning and wear my new hurt locker shirt… Love it!

God Bless! See y’all soon!

Sushi…Day 28

Today I took half a day and spent it with my oldest daughter! We had a great time! We went to a playground and then to get yogurt. At dinner, my husband and I went to eat with some friends at our fav sushi place…mmmmmmmmmmm!!!! I am full.

I had a great day, despite the fact that I did not exercise.
Tomorrow is a new day and my foot is much, much, better!!! Thank you Lord!!!

See you tomorrow!!

Well, we all have good days and we all have bad days. I am going to say that this day, well, it just wasn’t my favorite day. I didn’t get my elliptical in, but I will get it in at 5am… I am gonna try to go as long as I can!!

See you then.

YES…. DAY 30!

You thought I wasn’t going to show up, eh?? Well, I am here! I accomplished my goal today! Woke up and did the elliptical! Woo Hoo! It feels good to be exercising and that’s why I’m here so late… I’m actually tired! Good exercise = GREAT sleep!

I did realize how VERY important it is to have HEALTHY snacks on hand. When working at a doctors office, it is very easy to be tempted by candy and cookies when your healthy snacks are not available. So, I did have a cookie today at lunch, however, the rest of my day was great. Healthy meals, drank my water, and exercised!

Gotta get back to bed so I can do it all over again, but a little better each day!

God Bless!
