Can it be….two posts in a row! Girl, thats crazy !!!!!!!(I am well known for saying this at work. Its my phrase)
Today was a good day. I woke up thanks to my trusty 4-legged alarm, fiddled around online for awhile (and posted this!), and got down to business…doing an easy 3 miler. This of course turned out to be NOT easy at all. Im not sure what my deal was but it was a struggle. I’m going to blame the humidity, it takes a lot out of you. Luckily I still had enough energy to bust out 3/4 of Jackie Warner’s Power Circuit Training (legs/booty/chest/arms/back)
My goal is to do something active for at least 30 minutes (running 3x/doing a dvd, spinning, cardio 3x) 6 days a week. I am DETERMINED to actually feel decent in my bathing suit this year. I’ve made the decision to also keep a food diary and track my caloric intake. Im simply just trying to get in my 5-9 servings of veggies, at least 6 glasses of water, at least 60 grams of protein, and trying to watch my fats (minus things like avocado, olive oil, nuts) plus hopefully burn more calories than I consume. So far so good. I know it starts to go in a direction I don’t like…I’ll quit. Simple as that.
Awesome busy work day (waxing/facial/makeup/makeup/waxing….go gen go!) followed by an even more awesome dinner.
Black bean burger with half an avocado and sweet potato fries with greek yogurt garlic-basil dipping sauce.
Get in my belly!
I can’t believe its almost June…where did May go?
What did YOU eat for dinner?
Grateful 5:
1. Warm weather. It was so cold last week and now its great (albeit a little humid)
2. Being busy at work..and having wonderful clients. I truly enjoy seeing them every month.
3. Having curly hair. I HATED my curls when they suddenly appeared in 6th grade. Its been a longggg process…but I love that I can wear my hair so many ways. Its so nice to shower, scrunch in some gel, and goooooo! The result is really pretty spiral curls.
4. athletic tape. My arch of my right foot and ankle feel wonky today… taping it immediately made a difference.
5. Making good choices that make my body happy.

That food looks sooooo good. I have no idea what’s for dinner. Michael is cooking tonight, and he won’t EVER tell me. When he cooks, its always something heart attack inducing like chicken fried steak, or chicken and dumplings.
Good for you for wearing those curls! I am going on 15 months of straight curl-wearing. This is a huge deal…I think all of us curly girls have hated the crap out of our hair for so many years.
PS, do you do Yoga?

It was definitely yummy! I wouldnt mind having a cute boy make me secret dinners….I hate to say it but chicken and dumplings are such a weakness. I rarely eat them but oh man are they good! i adoreeeee yoru curls esp. when you wear it like this i cant wait for my hair to grow out so i can rock messy curly buns! I havent done yoga in a looooong time. I did it a lot when I lived in OK and every week my sophmore year. I need to introduce it back in, its just SO hard for me to make my head SHUT UP.
