Did you ever hear the joke about the hyper, enthusiastic gal that took a muscle relaxer too close to her personal training session?
No?
Hmmm, must be because it just happened to me yesterday!
I'm such a moron sometimes. I've been having some neck pain, for oh, I don't know, about 8 months and decided to finally go to the doctor. Enter muscle relaxers stage left. I popped one about 11:00 a.m. thinking it would wear off by the time my PT session rolled around. NOT SO MUCH! My muscles were absolutely, positively worth jack last night. Even my mantra: "The only easy day was yesterday" didn't work! In fact, my muscles actually laughed at me in the form of quivering, threatening to fall right out from underneath me. I was a hot mess. Even walking felt like a choir. Obvs, I won't be doing that ever again!
.........
I feel like a mega frumpy bunny today. I tried on some old 14's hoping I'd at least be able to get them buttoned, but NOoOooooO! Couldn't even get them buttoned. I was so bummed. I've been working my tail off in PT now for three weeks. Why am I not a size 8 yet?!
Oh, it doesn't work like that? NOW you tell me! But in all seriousness I am feeling a bit blue. Perhaps it's the changing of the seasons or perhaps I just have delusional ideas about what I can accomplish in three weeks. Yeah, I think it's the last one...
BUT not everything is pooey today: My sister joined my gym! Aw, heck, yeah! Now I have a partner to sweat it out with me during Power Pump and yoga. Not to mention countless minutes on the elliptical and evil stair machine, which KatieO lovingly refers to as Satan. Now you know.
So let's be proactive today, shall we? Let's turn that blue into gold: no emo eating (hehe), no extra doses of caffeine, and absolutely no bingeing tonight while relaxing and watching the TV perfection that is Ugly Betty.
Have a fab weekend, peeps. See you on the other side, and hopefully, with awesome weigh in numbers!

made me laugh. Boy, do I understand that thought!
It's so FUN when you have a gym buddy! I love the extra accountability of having to meet someone... like THEIR whole world would come crashing down if I didn't show!
I've been working my tail off for 2 years and I'm not a size 8. Take that!
Ok... so that was a lie. I am a size 8, sometimes, and a size 6 in a dress, and a size 10 in jeans. It all depends on the label.
Don't base hotness on a size 8. I'm damn hot, so I'll fight you to the death about "perfect size." No one wants to lose their "junk!" "Junk" is what makes us ladies.
Oh, trust me, I'm nowhere near a size 8, but I too am damn hot. No lie.
Size 8 is my non-weight goal. Both of my sisters are a size 4 or 6, so 8 is actually "big" for my gene pool. If it happens, so be it. If it doesn't, well, we'll see how close I can healthily get... I use size b/c the "healthy" weight range is just too broad for my taste.
"I've been working my tail off in PT now for three weeks. Why am I not a size 8 yet?!" LOL I know that feeling.
I've discovered that three weeks is exactly how long it takes for the novelty to wear off of eating right and exercising. At that point, you start saying, "am I there yet?" Keep it up. You are doing great!!
you go girl!
We'll be right here with you in parallel
I LOVE CAKE! (the band, not the food). Thanks for reminding me of this song.
