No Pain, No Gain

February 17, 2010 By Michelle 4 Comments

Seriously, do not like pain. So, no gain, is alright by me.

Monday, we started the Belly Fat Cure “lifestyle” change. And Monday evening I finished the Belly Fat Cure “lifestyle” change. HA! 

Really, we are taking it slow. Adding in the good, while weeding out the bad. Drinks are really, really gonna be hard for me. And sugary goodness. And chips. And carbs that are not-so-good for you. 

Monday night, my sister and I joined a couple girlfriends for a biggest loser workout with Bob. Then Jillian.

Tracey, mentioned during a small break, that I hadn’t even broke into a sweat. My secret,  don’t over do it only do it halfway, between each jumping jack, jump rope or hop, take a teeny, tiny break.  Pretend to be tying your shoes, or adjusting your shirt or pants, even pulling up socks.

I’m glad I didn’t give it my all, cause surely I’d be dead today if I had. What little effort I put into it, has made it impossible to walk up and down the steps, bend over to put my shoes on and sit down.

I seriously think any type of exercise makes me sick.

I told David last night I may not go back. He told me I’d get used to it, and encouraged me to keep going. I whined, moaned and groaned about my aching body. Told him I was not the sporty type, I was girly. And girly, girls do not like to work out. (HA!)

His reply, no you’re lazy girl, bloggy girl, computer girl. He had many more but I was in such a fit of giggles I can’t remember them. {I love how he makes me laugh}

So, today I sit here feeling worse than I did yesterday.

Stupid muscles.

And yes, I’ll be going back Thursday. I told him I’d give it two weeks.

Do you like to exercise?

Because I Was Bored

February 11, 2010 By Michelle 9 Comments

Sure, there was a TON of stuff to do around the house, but that’s NO fun at all.

Plus, it was after 9:00 pm and I don’t do anything productive that late.

I ran across the little clicky remote to the camera yesterday, so last night I had my own photo shoot. HA!

Do these glasses make me look smart? heehee

I remember in high school wanting to wear glasses, thinking they’d make me look smart.

Now I have glasses, and I hate wearing them. And um, yeah, they don’t make you any smarter,

Back then I wanted lots of things, that make absolutely no sense to my grown-up self.

glasses, braces, all the stuff that comes along with being a girl {cause pms is SO much fun}
a cast so i could have it signed {i just didn’t want a broken bone} gain a little weight {huh}
a job {what was I thinking} a perm {which i got and really, it’s a wonder i have any hair}

What’s  one thing that you wanted and now your like, say what?

Valentine’s Day

February 9, 2010 By Michelle 7 Comments

At the first of every February, David and I talk about what we are going to do for Valentine’s Day. Really, this changes every single year. Some years we celebrate, some years we don’t. Some years we buy for each other, some we don’t.

When we were dating we always celebrated, but since being married, and especially since having kids, we take it or leave it. To be honest, I’m okay with just leaving it. I don’t know why, but I’ve never really cared about celebrating Valentine’s Day. Yeah, I like flowers, candy, candles, a nice dinner and all that goes with it, but I’d rather put the money toward something else. Which, we do sometimes, if we are saving for something. I think one year, we put it toward a television.

What started the whole conversation this time around, was when I told David if get each other something for Valentines, I want a large cast iron skillet. How romantic is that??

After talking it over for a while, we finally decided that from here on out we are going to make Valentine’s Day a family affair. The girls and I will fix up a nice meal & pretty table, and afterwards we’ll play games, watch a movie, just enjoy one another’s company.

Hopefully, with as little fighting as possible.

So, how do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?
