The Challenge


So, I posted here a couple months?ago about birthday weekend with BFFE. Well we thought about it and decided to not only postpone birthday weekend for a few months, but to change the location as well. Vegas is great (I assume) but for two people kinda lame, unless you are going on a honeymoon, and despite all the rumors BFFE and I are strictly Dickly. So we decided to go on a cruise in August before school starts again for both of us. Fun! Me and BFFH went on a cruise gosh maybe 5 years ago? And it was awesome, but alas she got married on me, so now I got a new cruise buddy. I do love all my married friends, but sometimes marriage=lame. Just kidding, just different obligations.
So in order for us to find some motivation to get ready for the cruise we are doing a challenge. Here are the details:
First of all we have to work out everyday and whoever has the most workouts by then end of the challenge wins...... we don't know the prize yet
Then we have a food challenge:
Every time you eat something naughty you have to put a quarter in a jar, and at the end of the challenge, we switch jars. So BFFE thinks she is going to make me rich, but I gotta tell you, I love my candy.
Of course, allowances will be made, you know, birthdays, and things like that. But it will be fun to see if we can avoid the treats. Of course we will have treats, but they have to be healthy, so no super-size fries.
We start on Monday and I am not sure how long we are going to do it, maybe until August. Wish us luck!

Oh, I remember you


So I know its been awhile. I am still dealing with some health issues, but I am doing better and I am determined to get my health back. So I was reading my women's health mag and there was this article about grit. It basically something that everybody has, but have to tap into it. Its pretty much the kick ass guts that you have inside you, but you have to pull it out. They talked about fitness grit, how if you want to lose weight, its not going to be easy, you have to dig down. Get out of the damn bed, and fight for it.
So I am sick of being this chubby unmotivated girl. I gotta find my grit.
