Frozen.

Frozen. That's my word of the week! It's freezing cold here which makes me want to eat, all the time, what is it with cold weather??? It's like hibernation mode kicks in. And because we will be eating pie most of the week I settled on frozen meals for the week. I am so thankful for frozen meals. How else would a busy working mom keep from eating at a drive-thru every day!

These are my choices this week:

Breakfast

Lunch

 And very possibly will repeat for dinner...

Pretty tasty. Easy to log calories. Good balance to the extra helpings of pie I plan to have on Thursday, Friday, maybe even Saturday!

Day 25 of my 30 in 30 challenge, I did workout #26 today and still going strong!

Keep at It.

It is so much easier to give up. I have no real reason to do this 30 in 30 contest and I am just plain tired, tired of working out, tired of being starving all day and tired of balancing 25 things at a time. But I am going to keep at it. I have good work friends keeping me accountable and I am trying to finish this thing out. The holiday sure make for a lot of reasons to eat tasty food and skip working out! This is me, motivating myself to get to the gym tonite on a dreary, cold Thursday night! You can do it!

Day 19 and going strong.

Still plugging away at my 30 in 30 challenge. It's helping me stay on track this month and although its been a little challenging getting them all in, its been kind of fun and I am enjoying a little extra me time, even if its while sweating my buns off! This week is the ultimate challenge, husband out of town, work is nuts as usual and to top it all off I have one home with a fever. But I am handling it with ease. Or really just handling it.

19 days down. 11 to go.

Sunday I went to an afternoon class called Fusion Fire, it was one of my favorites last winter but when the weather gets hot who wants to be in a room heated to 90??? Well, this Sunday was an exceptionally warm day in November, normally I would have gone for an outdoor workout and enjoyed the weather but keeping on track with the contest, the sun was blazing through the windows and the workout was killer being #17 in a row... capture this gem of my bright red face. Proof I was working hard, even if it felt like working out in Dante's inferno!

 

As I start this hectic Tuesday and handle it all by myself, I am repeating this quote I heard at a conference over the summer:

"I knew it wouldn't be easy. But easy was never my goal."

:)

What Happened?????

OMG. What happened to me. Last blog post was WHEN???? Well, let's see... I got a big promotion at work, yipppeee, which means I am working like a dog, not yippeeee. Hubby traveling. Kids busy. It gets dark just shortly after lunch time and I could give you atleast 100 more excuses why I fell off my own wagon. But just like I said, they are just a bunch of excuses. Time to get over it.

So I'm back, and I meant to post this on November 1 and now it's November 10th. Oops.

I needed something to really get me going this month so I joined in a friendly little competition at the gym called 30 in 30. Easy, right? 30 workouts in the 30 days of November. Day 10, I have worked out 9 times and today I did an extra long burnout class that counted for 2, so I'm on track to complete this baby and win myself some spin classes! Yep, workout like a freak to win workouts. Crazy :) But hey, that's me.

"Life if what you make of it, so get after it."
