Hello friends!
I know I haven't updated in a few days but I've been a little busy bee and just been sticking to the diet, workouts and cardio along the way! I had a couple tough days this weekend while visiting and going out with friends. There were no cheats, no yummy goodies to be had by me what so ever so no worries my friends I am still on the path towards my goal! But DAMN did EVERYTHING look SO good!!! My friends had pizza, amber ale beer, sandwiches on pretzel bun, and cookie, sweet goodness! My mental strength was put to the test and my inner fat kid wanted to enjoy it all! Now here's the part I have to own up to. I did not do a good job planning out the timing of the meals. I ate my 4th meal before we went out and by two hours later I was pretty hungry and without any food! I had to tough it out for the rest of the night and enjoy a protein shake when I got home to curve my intense hunger. SO I will need to have a better plan for our "going out" nights where I am the designated driver. I'm totally investing in a bigger purse to carry my meal with me :) Call me crazy but I want to have a balanced life and I'm not able to eat on the go so I gotta compromise! The other thing I need to do is start my workouts by at least 8:00am! I gots to get motivated earlier! AND I'm hoping my new Tazo Green Mint tea will be just the kick to my morning! I don't really like to drink coffee too often so maybe I can join the masses with caffeine in the morning to jump start my day! My other "big deal" in my life is that I cooked a meal for my husband that I was not able to eat!! I cooked spaghetti! Now I didn't go so far as to cook any buttery garlic bread, I'm not trying to test my inner fatty that much! But it was nice to know that my husband can enjoy the things he likes! Small victories along the way that matter! As far as how my body is doing I'm starting to see a little more muscle definition since my diet and cardio are burning away the layer of fat that has been hiding them. I'll post my 2nd weeks progress pics on Thursday this week. Between some of the moments where I'm scared about my chances to see this through till October I am also filled with happiness, excitement, and nervousness. I try to break the months down in my mind. I've got a lot of things coming my way to look forward to! In April my buddy is coming to visit and we are going to a Rihanna concert (yay!!!), June is my wedding anniversary, pool season starts soon, I'll need to start designing and picking out my suit for the show, I'll need to find a gown to wear in the event, my cousin's wedding in Mexico, once you break that down then the time for my training is just going to fly by!
In other news- I have a follow up for the job opportunity I wrote about earlier and I could use good vibes and thoughts sent my way! Keep my little heart in your minds this week!
I hope that everyone is having a great day where ever you are! Thanks for the suport and for reading!
Cheers!
Ash
