Ideas for my beloved - #2

Same deal as last time...just with completely different things.

Crate and Barrel always seems to have everything that I would die to decorate my house with, especially around the holidays. This year they have something that I would be totally selfish with. Well, I suppose that I would share 1 of them with you. Although you do know of my obsession with smores so perhaps just a bite.

A small bite.

You can find these beautiful smores HERE.

And with my super human strength I broke the wire on my extremely well used cheese slicer a few months ago...I have been cutting cheese with steak knives into wobbly mis-shaped looking slices.

Pitiful.

This one would come in handy.

Along the kitchen/cooking/baking lines I think that this mini-loaf pan is not only the cutest damn thing I have seen in a long time...it would be integral in NOT over eating whenever I choose to make banana nut bread.

Because lets face facts...when I make some I eat the whole damn loaf.

Every time.

This *may* help to side track me.

she is going to be so pissed at me

I am totally trying to eating better and becoming a better person.

I....I just have momentary setbacks.

Like just today when I was out running errands for work and stopped
at Walgreen's and bought two bags of Dove chocolate, 2 boxes of Nips
and two packs of gum...then I got up to the register and saw that they
had coconut m&m's.

So I HAD to get them.

They are after all a limited edition flavor.

I didn't want to be the ONLY person who didn't try them.

And I got a $1 register reward for the chocolate....so it wasn't a
total loss, right?

BUT I haven't even eaten any of it yet.

I am going to be GOOD.

I am even shredding tonight....But there is something about Jillian.

She is just like a great white shark.

Or a dog.

Or a dog shark.

She can smell fear from a mile away.

And nachos.

So she already knows what I did. And I will severely pay for it.

UPDATE - totally caved and ate the ENTIRE bag of coconut m&m's...and two pieces of Dove chocolate.

fuck.

Shredded - Day 2

Jillian is a bitch.

A dirty dirty bitch.

My legs hurt so much today that I am not going to attempt to go down the two flights of stairs at work. I know for a fact that it would either take me 10 minutes or that I would fall and break my arm.

I will be riding in the elevator.

Seriously.

I am in that much pain.

It is a good pain because I know I am building muscle and losing weight.

But Jullian is still a bitch.

But since you dont get the body you want for free (Damnit! She's got me using her catchy weight loss phrases now. Bitch) ...I keep spending night after night with that bitch.

I will be giving my legs a much needed break tonight...and on the plus side I have already lost 3 pounds since last Tuesday. Most of that was from eating healthier so I am on the right track!

feeling shredded

Last night I jumped on the bandwagon.

Not the AA bandwagon - trying to drink my weight in Landshark after the Rib Off is the only thing keeping me going at this point.

The 30 Day Shred bandwagon.

I am totally a year behind the rest of the shredders who of course drive this wagon.

So for the most part the fad of this workout DVD has passed. Which is generally when I feel disgusting enough to join in.

Looking at the cover of the DVD is enough to scare me off. It in fact did for a week.

I was convinced her eyes were following me and not-so-secretly judging me for eating that snickers ice cream bar.

So I turned the DVD over. And her snarly smile angered me to the point of wanting to workout.

(yes, thats a lie! No one wants to work out!)

Last night I decided to confront her head on - gladiator style.

She totally won of course.

Bitch.

I blame it on the 2 previous years where I didn't so much as jog 3 steps if I didn't have to...where lifting included groceries and putting Brady into the crib at night...cardio became a 4 letter word and where I would enjoy a bowl full of mini-marshmallows each night as a pre-snack snack.

So...she kicked my ass.

And I will welcome her to do it every night this month.

Unlike last night I will not start each workout after a large bowl of Butter Pecan. So that just may help.

This is my getting in shape in order to get in shape month. After I am more confident in the little things I am doing in Shred I am conquer larger obstacles...like running...without dying on the side of the road.

So cross your fingers for me and wish me well.

I will be posting shred info each day...and if I am feeling gutsy Ill take some before/after photos. I think by gutsy I mean drunk.

Either way I know I can do this and I know that I can take these 10 pounds off without problems.

Well...

The only problem may be that sales are down for mini-marshmallows.
