One a them weeks

Well folks, It's just been one a them weeks ('one OF THOSE weeks' for those of you not from UT). You know the ones I'm talking about. You set goals for your self and you're really motivated to start tackling them all until the time come to tackle and you don't want to. That was my week so far.
An early p.s. Jess and Jen, there are no photo's (of Drake) in this blog post so If you'd like to stop reading that's fine :)
I've eaten so dang good this week. I'm not on a diet (so please don't think that), I HATE it when people say that they're dieting. It's like, What's wrong with just eating good healthy whole foods huh? I was eating some green peppers (my second favorite veggie) the other day at work and some lady (I won't release her name) walks by and says to me "O, you're eating vegetables, you on a diet or something?" I said "No" Trying to stay calm "I just really like Green Bell Peppers".
Anyway, I've stayed away from the Oreo's sitting in the pantry calling (more like yelling) my name. Oreo's are indeed my weakness. And to make matters a little bit more rough for me, my two year old has been taunting me all week by asking for a cupcake every hour. I made some yummy, French Vanilla, Oreo filled cupcakes for his Bday party and have some left over. They've just been sitting in our fridge, waiting for me :( If I was not trying to eat better I probably wouldn't even want an Oreo or a cupcake but the universe is working against me with this reverse psychology/I want what I can't have kind of stuff. It's not like I won't ever eat anything that's "bad" for me again, or even tomorrow for that matter, I just want to control, with ease, what I decide enters my body. I want to be healthy inside and out.
I've also worked out everyday this week that I didn't work. I know we're not supposed to use work as an excuse but I work two 16 hours shifts a week so give me break. It feels so good to work out! My sister Jen has worked out with me twice this week and that helps motivate me a ton. I'm sore all over. CJ asked me the other night what I've been doing at the gym to get so sore and I said "Moving, duh." I'm pretty out of shape right now so a ton of physical movement can and will make my body sore. I like feeling sore though, it makes me remember all day long why I'm doing this and why it's so important to lose the pounds and get healthy for my son and husband and the little baby that we haven't tried to get yet :) I'm excited for the changes to come my way, I'm ready for them. I have to say that CJ has been really good to me this week too. He's encouraged me to work out and as soon as he walks in the door from work I'm off to the gym. He's proud of me and more importantly, I'm proud of my self! Now, do you think I can hike the Grand Canyon this Fall if I'm a month or so Pregnant? I might have to call the Doc. for that one.

  1. i bet you'd be fine hiking, so long as you took care of yourself. those cupcakes sound so good! i would have eaten them already - you are strong. i'm trying to replace treats with diet soda this week and it is ridiculously hard.

  2. Me and Jaime started hitting the gym hard this week too, Moday 515AM Spin class, Tuesday 515AM BodyPUmp, Wed...yeah I didn't sleep very well, Thurs...yeah I was out of it, and Today 515AM Spin class! It really does make me feel better. My problem is the eating I LOVE ANYTHING greasy. I could careless about sweets but I do love my burgers and fries, oh and Del Taco Bean and cheese with sour cream...yeah I just had that for lunch :( I feel that when I work out I can eat whatever cause "I just worked out" I am trying to get off that kick. I havent had pizza in over a week and no burgers since last week. I had some fries on Sunday :( oh it never ends! GOOD LUCK!

  3. i love your blog layout its way cute. I love the way I feel after a workout (zumba) I dont think i have ever gotten done with a workout and NOT feel sore. But I like it too. I dont know how strenuous the Grand Canyon is....if you body is already used to that kind of activity before you got pregnant im sure you'd be fine.

  4. WAY TO GO YOU ARE AWESOME! It takes real self control to eat right for your body and work out. It's a pain in my butt! literally. You should read this book called Intuitive Eating. Great book. My sis worked with girls who had eating dissorders and she LOVES this book. It got me motivated and healthier. It also thinks that the word DIET is very bad! Love you and can't wait to see you in 2 weeks!

  6. You frickin rock!!!!! I said exactly what is on every woman's mind! I love eating healthy not to be on a diet but just to feel good and not feel like I have a ten lbs burger sitting in my gut. I wish you lived by me. We would be the best work out buddies ever! You work that gym and an occasional cupcake just cuz you went to the gym. haha but then that defeats the whole purpose. I knew there was something wrong with rewarding myself after the gym. haha j/k keep strong for you and for me. You are awesome!!!
