Just Me and My World

Well so far so good with the exercising, just a little update, last night I did 20 minutes of Pilate’s and then we took the dog for a walk on the Riverwalk. Amazingly enough we got there at about 7pm and it was still 100 degrees (errrrr). When I got home I realized the only way for me to keep up with walking during the summer months was to pay $50 for the year at our recreation center, it has equipment and an indoor walking trail, so weather cannot be an excuse for me. 

Ultimately I would like to wake up early 6-6:30am and exercise, I know I will feel better to take on the day, the problem anything before 7:30 am is pushing it, shit 7:30 even sucks for me. So this is going to be a lifestyle and scheduling makeover. Since I just started exercising, after I get into the grove… I will start on the time thing….

Ok on to something else! Has anyone clicked on help? Because I have had no comments to yesterday’s post, I mean you don’t have to comment, but did you click to make a difference? Please people don’t let me down. I think it had to be overlooked, because I have a couple of “cat people” that I know about and I got nothing from them! Should I do away with the help tab and just put it all on the main page? Let me know what you think!

Props to my sexy pink haired friend (@sexpensive) and her new blog… “LOVIN IT!” (Just imagine I said that like they used to on In Living Color…”) I will post the link with all the other awesome blogs, so everyone make sure to show her some love! I mean she is sarcastic, cute, funny, she has pink hair, likes tattoos and has big ta-ta’s I mean come on, that is like the perfect woman in my book…

Aw fuck it….. @sexpensive will you marry me?

Anyways… we will await the answer…..

So, I know everyone is waiting on the MacBook review, I haven’t forgotten it, just still learning new things everyday! So it will be coming soon. The new camera is due here tomorrow, so be prepared Pictures! Pictures! Pictures! (Speaking of pictures… please go check out @curiousillusions blog and donate something … even if it’s a $1 or 2… she is awesome and deserves a new camera, and yes I am going to, so you should too, you know you waste money … throw a couple bucks her way …. pleeeeease!)

So we all feel the same on Monday! YUCK! We don’t want to be at work, and we wish that the weekend was just a little longer! But to follow up on the fitness aspect, I did work out on Saturday, I did 20 minutes of Pilate’s and of course cleaning the house, chasing the kids and doing approx 10 loads of laundry had to count for something (and no the amount of loads is not an exaggeration!) I did not workout on Sunday because I had to really focus on school work, my final project is due in two weeks!

So today the plan is to do a 20 minute work out when I get home, and then hopefully take a walk when the sun sets slightly. I have been drinking more water, which seems to be harder for me than the exercising, but I have been very proud of myself. 

This brings me to a product I bought about a year ago, called Flat Abs. It is a lotion from Yves Rocher. I bought two bottle (on sale) and it came with 2 free. So I never used it, or never followed through with it. I pulled it out and said lets try it. Let me test this for everyone! It is supposed to take an inch off of your waist in 30 days, by rubbing it on day and evening everyday. 

So today is officially day one… by July 29th, we will know the truth! I did research reviews and those that used it with exercise claims that is does make a difference, where it does not give you actual “Abs” it helps eliminate the amount of fat under the skin. So, we will find out. This stuff isn’t overly expensive, as of now on the Yves Rocher website it is $33 bucks, but you buy one and get one, so two for $33, that is not too bad, and they offer a money back guarantee on everything! 

So, why not try it….. with the combination of exercise I will attempt to lose an inch in the Ab area, which is that lovely “baby fat” that my kids left with me… so it tends to be stuborn! 

I hope that everyone stays on top of me… and I will make sure that I update that I am still doing it, because when it comes to this type of stuff… I usually never go all the way! So we shall see!

I am proud on two levels!

Ok guess what last night before I sat on my lazy ass and watched a movie, I did 20 minutes of Pilates, yes I did! And shit did I feel the burn, but I always sleep awesome because I am stretched! I will not be able to do any tonight, because when I get off I have to drive two hours to work for this attorney, but this weekend, I need to take some walks and do some more…. so far, good start! GO ME!

Ok, and I even fought the urge for a grilled cheese sandwich at 11:30 last night, so far to awesome steps in one evening, although I am still craving that damn grilled cheese….

On to bigger news. Today is the last day of Bella’s art camp, so in about 2 hours (12:30 EST) she will be doing the final performance of Staurt Little! She has 2-3 parts in the play, and I am so excited for my baby! I even went and bought her some flowers this morning!

Aren't these just perfect for a 6 year old little girl!

She will feel so special when I come in with special flowers for her!!! Yeah! I am sooooo excited! A little info behind this camp… it lasted 3 weeks, and they did everything: build the set, costumes, music, rehearse… everything, she even made the invite!

I am a slack ass! My goal was to start exercising and stay at it at no cost. I was doing awesome. Then I stopped and I haven’t done shit in about a month and a half. That  makes me mad at myself. I know there is time… I am very busy, I work two jobs, have kids and go to school, but I watch t.v. and play on the computer every night! So WHY WHY WHY! Why the hell do I not get off my big ol’ Ghetto Booty and go back to the 20 minutes of Pilate’s every night. Of course there are some nights that I can skip it, so 5 nights a week.

I almost have to schedule what I want to do or I will never do it, why is that? I don’t know…. I am organized but lazy! If it is on my calendar I will do it, which is so very lame! I guess the first of it is that I am the type of person that wants to see the difference right away, I don’t want to wait 3 months. I also feel like working out at home, and/or just walking around the neighborhood isn’t enough.

I have to do something, apparently I can be my own worst  nightmare, so I am going to do something about it… I am going to work out some sort of schedule to start getting fit. So … if anyone has any suggestions, please share them and maybe you can help me …. I can be inspired to share with my awesome followers, and maybe that will help the procrastination levels…. look for the update on the whole fitness thing!
