| I get so annoyed with skinny girls at the gym talking about how they need to lose 5 lbs. because they are so fat. Ain't nobody got time for that! |
On friday I was lucky enough to go to the gym with my husband. It is rare that we have a date night, but his sister offered to watch our kids and we decided the gym seemed appropriate. I loved it! I love that we were not only spending time together, but we were doing something productive, beneficial, and healthy. My husband is also a good personal trainer because he used to be addicted to the gym and even broke some high school weightlifting records.

| My husband in high school. lol jk I love you honey. My real one, not the imaginary one. |
He was showing me some free weight exercises I can do and made sure I was doing the machines properly so I don't look like a lost puppy. *Which I frequently look like when I go near any of the machines besides the treadmills & ellipticals.* He also made me do reps and target my areas that I felt like needed work. I have got a great husband. Instead of telling me my weak areas or areas he thinks I should work on, he pretty much was sensitive to my uneasiness and asked me what I would like to work on. Love that man :)
Anyways, as far as the eating goes, it's GREAT! I am used to the schedule of meals. I have been trying to justify my nibbles here and there of something I am not supposed to have. Like the other day I made the kids cookies and I nibbled a piece and then felt instantly horrible. I know it probably wasn't even 1 calorie worth, but I just know I'm not supposed to do that. I know one day I will be able to do this diet without so much as a nibble/lick of anything I am not supposed too. I'm just trying to take this one day at a time.
My lean & greens have been good. I have been alternating between salmon, veggie burgers, boneless chicken breasts, and ground turkey. I actually made a taco salad with the ground turkey and it was DELICIOUS! My healthy snacks have been either an apple or an orange. I realized that I needed to have a stronger mind. I needed to have a reminder of why I was doing this and what my results will be like.
Ooh, this week I got a real good reason to stick to the diet and another great motivation for sticking to the diet and losing weight. My cousin is getting married and she asked me to be the Maid of Honor. I corrected her and told her the Matron of Honor because I'm the old lady in the line of 18-25 year olds.
Yeah, well ever since I heard this I have been motivated to get my booty to the gym and stick strictly to the diet. The wedding is in August so I have 3 and a half months to get into wedding line shape! Especially because I will be wearing a bridesmaids dress! Also I need to plan the bachelorette party/other bridesmaids duties. I am excited.

| I'm ready to parrrrrrtayyy with the best of them! lol |
Nothing like a competition of vanity to boost your motivation. Gosh, sometimes I get so mad because I feel more motivated to look good then to feel good. I just need to get over myself. All right, that's enough psycho babble. Hopefully I will write more this week. Wish me luck! I need it!
