Workouts 21 – 34 Monday I got my workouts in, but barely. Meh. Tuesday I have been crazy tired this week. I can’t quite figure out why. I took a nap yesterday and a nap today! What the heck! It’s getting a bit ridiculous. Wednesday Weigh in: 183.4 to 183.4: No change, which I honestly expected. I had a pretty decent number last week, so I wasn’t really expecting anything this week. But hopefully next week will show another difference. My workouts today were great! I didn’t really want to do them, but when I got home Justin was doing his, so I grabbed my laptop and went in the…

Acne Pimple Master Patches.
Who’s got zits? I do. You do. He does. She does. Everyone does! The one saving grace and answer to my prayers… Acne Pimple Master Patches. I order them in a 4-pack from Amazon. They are a god-send. They are these little circles that you just peel off the paper and place over the zit. It works best if you either pop it a little first (which I know isn’t recommended but whatever! I’m human!) or open it up with a needle or pin and then wash your face. It won’t work if the zit isn’t opened. So, enjoy yourself. Try and pop that thing, wash your face, then place…

MM 100: Week 2.
Workouts 9 – 20 Monday (9 & 10) That was the most half-assed workout I’ve ever done. Holy crap. I tried working out during lunch because I was working from home and that was an utter failure. I did great for about 10 minutes and then it just kind of petered out. Which means that I am probably going to go back and redo it this evening, because I am so disappointed in myself. And I did. When I got done working, I just “f*** it”, put my shoes back on and hit play…again. That really is why you should just do things right the first time, because if you…

Meal Prep: 01/19/2020
Breakfast This week I made a few egg and sausage breakfast burritos. I used 6 whole eggs and then a few tablespoons of liquid egg whites that I had left in the fridge. For the sausage, I found these bad boys which I only used part of. A little goes a long way with them. I used a smaller tortilla shell to help with the calorie count, then I added some cheese with the sausage and egg, wrapped them up in foil and popped them in the freezer. I thew one in the microwave this morning for about 2 minutes or so and it was pretty good! Lunch I messed…

Friends. (Not the TV Show)
I realized I have a lot of friends. Maybe not typical friends, but I sure call a lot of people by that word. I have many friends I’ve never met in person (even though I finally did start hearing their voices via different chat services). I am ‘friends’ with people that I’ve worked with, but never hung out with outside of work. What really constitutes a friend? Friend Definition: a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations. Okay then. So I really do have a quite a few friends. A former co-worker shared her fitness journey…

My Why.
First off, we have a Beachbody on Demand membership and it’s amazing. ‘Nuff said. And if anyone is interested, let me know and I will put you in touch with the best ‘coach’ in the world, Hannah McLeod. In all honesty, I’ve never met her in person. I started following Hannah on Instagram and realized how utterly awesome she was. I now consider her to be a great friend and hopefully I will meet her in real life someday. Now, the point of this… I have officially started the Morning Meltdown 100 program over for the 3rd time..and the final time, at least until I finish it. Third time…

Movie Review: Hunt for the Labyrinth Killer (2013)
Alright people. Saturday night. I couldn’t really decide what to watch, so I was browsing through Hulu and found Hunt for the Labyrinth Killer from 2013. The cover image looked stupid, but I decided to watch the trailer. It seriously looked as though the trailer actually gave away who the killer was! What?! So that of course means that I had to try watching it. Which also means I am going to ‘live’ blog this movie. Enjoy the ride guys. News flash: There are spoilers coming, so if you haven’t yet seen this movie, proceed at your own risk. But also, this movie is from 2013 so come on now.…

I Have A Stupid Question…
Okay, raise your hands ladies. How many of you have said this? I’m guessing most of you. I used to do that. I would probably say that before every question I asked. Then one day at work, about 2 years ago, my boss held a meeting for my department. You see, my department was all women and there was one thing she was done hearing. Can you guess what it was? That’s right: “I have a stupid question”. She was done. She never wanted to hear any of us say that again. Do you know why? You’re putting yourself down every time you say that. No boss wants a stupid…

Losing Weight Sucks.
There I said it. Losing weight seriously sucks. It sucks bad. I know everyone tries to make it super positive and motivational and easy, but sometimes…it. just. sucks. Sometimes I don’t want to be positive. Maybe, I just want to let you my inner fat girl and let her fly. So I can sit on my living room floor again with a 2-liter bottle of Pepsi, eating chinese honey chicken and green beans, double chocolate chip cookies from Subway, cheesy breadsticks from Pizza Hut, french fries from Hardees, and popcorn from the local movie theater. Yes. You read that correctly. I used to do that. If I had a really…

I Am Not Ashamed.
Secrets. There are so many secrets that people have. I don’t believe that anyone is completely honest, everyone has something to hide. I am tired of hiding. Tired of lying to people, trying to act like something I’m not. It look a long time to realize this, but I am awesome. I am amazing. I am unique. Weird. Quirky. I am me. I am who I am and no one is able to change that except for myself. I only hope that I grow stronger and wiser as I get older. I have many, many secrets. One of which is that I used to hate myself. I was very cold…
