Day 1: A Photo of Yourself, Etc.

Day 1 – A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

K, ridiculous face.

Today, I finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower (well, early this morning). I woke up on time (a little past 9am), showered, had breakfast (banaba herbal tea, yogurt, and cigarettes), made my lunch (tomato and cheese omelet, and beef sirloin strips) and I was right on time— no delays, no laziness, none of that let-me-lie-down-on-my-couch-for-a-bit business. I still ended up late for work because I didn’t have anything to wear (I badly need some vintage t shirts and new jeans) and because I had to take this photo. Heh.

Tonight, I’m doing Pure Cardio which is my favorite workout from Insanity. It’s INSANE (while stretching after warming up, Shaun T mentions that the workout scares him) but I love it because it isn’t repetitive. Once you’re done with one set/exercise, you never have to see/do it again. I’m also supposed to do Cardio Abs right after but I am usually too spent for it. I know I should make up for it by doing it on Sundays but I get too lazy.

WOW THIS 30-DAY BLOG CHALLENGE IS SO EXCITING AND RIVETING!!!

September Goals

First, a photo of today’s lunch!

Steamed vegetables (snow peas, string beans, cauliflower, carrots, and young corn. Young corn and broccoli are my favorites but Molave Garden didn’t have the latter last Sunday), steamed chicken breast, and a hard-boiled egg. I eat the yolk because I am not a crazy person, heh.

For September, I only have two goals.

The Weekend In Photos: Mango Farm

Well, it’s a Monday and I know I owe interested and curious people an Insanity update but I decided to track my progress here every two weeks aka every time I have to take the Fit Test. There aren’t any visible changes in my body (tummy is still as flabby as ever CRYMOANWAIL) but that’s ok— it’s only been a week, after all! I just have to keep at it, not give up, and watch what I eat.

Speaking of making changes to my eating habits/my diet: it’s hard. I pigged out and went over my beer (and cigarette) limit over the weekend. Once again, I am telling myself that it’s ok— it’s my first week, after all. I was supposed to do some cardio on Sunday (it feels strange not working out!) but I didn’t have enough time as I still had to look for copper farmhouse sinks. That said, Insanity is gong to KILL ME tonight.

Photos from the weekend Sunday!

The Ugliest Shoes I’ve Ever Bought…

are the ones that will serve me well and need the most.

I hate sports shoes; I think they are ugly and if I could work out in wedge heels and not injure myself, I would. Unfortunately, they’re truly a necessity and the casual rubber shoes I’ve had since college weren’t cutting it anymore.
