Thank goodness, it’s Friday! Phew! I did not think Friday was going to ever come! I have nothing planned today, besides going to dinner with the family. It’s not yet 100% clear where we are going, but I think it’s about 98% Mimi’s Café. I already know what I get there so no biggy there!
Lately I have noticed that im in this rut, the rut to not want to exercise. All I would rather be doing is sitting at home watching TV or doing something else. I have to pry myself to go. I think its just one of those weeks where your body is tired and it wants a break but inside of you, spiritually your body is rooting for you to go, get up and move! Well as much as I have been wanting to just take it easy, I have dragged myself to the gym to go and exercise, of course along the way there im like a little child complaining the whole way! “I wanna go back home! WAH” Anyways I get there and of course I feel pumped and ready to go, and afterwards im glad that I went to the gym. I have exercised all week long, I haven’t listened to the evil side of my body, the side that tells me its okay to eat another candy or that another scoop of ice cream is good for you! That side! I didn’t pay attention to it, brought it down like it was nothing and showed it who was in control! ME! So in the end, I think we just have to really, and I mean really push ourselves to go and exercise, the same thing with eating. I know we all have these weeks, days, months, where exercise is our last priority, but just think about how far you have come, and that exercising does make you feel better inside and out, and just get out there! I can give anyone who needs a push a big push! Just never give up!
You are such a skinny minnie now. I like your 2nd picture in the white tank top. SKINNY! Have fun at dinner. I love that you and your family are so close.
One of the reasons that I love to visit your blog is that you're always so freakin' positive! (Which is a huge contrast to my general being...I'm a grouch, even when I try not to be).
I'm happy that you're able to list things that you love, and it is a great motivator for the rest of us! You've worked your butt off (literally!) to lose this weight, and I know that all of the rest of us can do it, too! (Especially with such a great cheerleader like you in commission!)
This is going to sound really strange and you will probably think I am a total dork. However, sometimes when I don't want to go to the gym I just put on my ipod or run my playlist on my computer, listen to my favorite songs, and excercise to them. I run in play for like 3 sounds, do as many crunches and lunges as I can for a song...something like that. I try to do some kind of excercises through my entire playlist on my ipod..which equals out to about an hour. It helps!!! and it's sooo much fun! You should try it sometime haha =]
I just received an email from extrapounds.com about your amazing incredible success story! Oh you are such an inspiration!! I just wanted to say a big congrats on your achievement.. you must be so proud of yourself!!!
As always I love reading your blog. You have such great things to say. When you said Mimi's I was once again brought back to Tucson. We don't have that restaurant in Green Bay. I loved it though. I especially like their grilled chicken salad. That chicken is sooo tender and moist-so good! What do you like from there? Enjoy the dinner!
Got your story today!! :) How fun! Get ready for the traffic on your blog!!!
Have a great time tonight at MiMi's! I haven't been there in forever!! There isn't one anywhere near me. I think me and DH might sneak out for a quick bite to eat tonight. I'm still hungry...haven't eaten since breakfast! Just haven't gotten around to lunch yet.
Hope your work out was great and congrats on your story! It's official! You are a success! WTG! Oh, and love the list! You really are always so up! How do you do it???!!! Must have youth on your side, huh? I love the pic of you in the tank top, too, but the two that they put for your before and after are perfect!!! It really shows the difference!!
Have a wonderful Friday night and an excellent weekend! Shelley
I read your story that EP sent out and then came and read your blog. You are amazing and very much a true inspiration. I am going to add you to my friends list so I can keep up. I will do this this time, thank you for inspiring me!!
