Workout Accountability: Friday

Lobsters25 · August 2012

Morning and TGIF!

Turned in my final headcount just a few minutes ago, what a great way to start the day! Working out is on track, eating has been a bit splurged with the delicious goodies in the house, but I kept myself pretty well portion-controlled and thankfully we're getting the fudge out of here today (it turned out really well!)

Today is a rest day, and tomorrow starts week 13 of p90x. Last full workout week - so awesome!

What is everyone up to for the weekend? Hope everyone has a great one!

Oh, and PS - Here's your friendly PSA - Sunday night starts SHARK WEEK! (Pretty much my favorite week of the year...sad, I know)

Morning!

Yesterday was baseball day but we got rained out

so FI and I went to see the dark knight rises....holy crap it was awesome! I went prepared and did not eat any of the deliciously terribly for you popcorn either. I needed a rest day anyways since adding in running to my routine I have been so exhausted.

This weekend is wedding project time FI and I will be busy getting a start on making our favours (homemade pickles) so I think our diets will stay on track.

Lobsters, I LOVE shark week as well! FI and I have to wait till its over so we can download it (no cable) I look forward to it every year as well.

Happy weekend all!

Good morning!

If only I had any kind of television to watch shark week! Sharks terrify and mystify me all at once.

Last night I made myself go to the gym even though it wasn't a "gym" night. I got 35 minutes of cardio on an elliptical and then 25 minutes of weightlifting.

I'm travelling home tonight for my wedding shower and another dress fitting, so I know I won't have time to get ANY activity in today (especially because it's also raining - no work walk

). I'm hoping to make it to the gym with my sister on Sunday, but that may be wishful thinking with so much going on.

Here's to hoping I can keep my eating in line!

Lobsters you are so close to the big day! I can't imagine what it will feel like to be that close yet.

Last night I was in a weird mood and really didn't want to work out. FI convinced me to go for a run while he rode a bike. It was nice because all of the talking distracted me and my quick run turned into 4 miles so I was pretty happy about that. Tonight we are pretty busy but I might try and do one of those videos since they are short, sweet, and to the point.

Lobsters - I freaking love shark week!!! My FI and I started seeing eachother during shark week a few years ago and I was like totally obsessed with it. As a joke he bought me shark week on DVD for Christmas lol. And yay on turning in your final count!!

This morning I didn't wake up early enough to do a ton at the gym like I was hoping. Now that the sun rises later I'm finding getting up early to be a bit of an adjustment. This morning I lifted, just concentrated on my shoulders and I ran for 30 mins on the treadmill. Tomorrow my 2 MOH's have their dress fittings and I'm going with them. Super excited!

[QUOTE]So, what's the deal with shark week? I hear people talking about it every year, but don't own a tv so I've never investigated. Maybe I need to buy it? Is it just a bunch of shows about sharks? Posted by kwitherington[/QUOTE]

This makes me smile and laugh, maybe because it means I have an excuse to talk about the awesomeness of shark week a bit more.
It's a whole bunch of episodes for a week straight about sharks. Close encounter stories, footage of the sharks skyrocketing out of the water in South Africa, informational stuff, ect. It's really good footage, too. I think people are so fascinated because they seem so scary. I'm also extra excited this year because there have been more sharks right outside of my wedding reception venue, and last year they did an episode on the sharks there, so I am hoping there will be more shown from the area this year.
I always wanted to work with sharks when I was little (I'm at a ginormous makeup company now, so that didn't quite happen), but shark cage-diving is still on the bucket list.

Also, if you need some variety for weights - start p90x already! I know you were thinking about it, so why not? :)

entropic-have a great shower!

Morning All-

Yest I walked with the pup and eating was on track, nothing too exciting haha. Today is super humid so no exercise before work and after work we are FINALLY going shopping for wedding outfits with FI parents. Its only two weeks to the wedding, why not today, right? Ugh.

We are going out to dinner so I'll just be careful with what I get. Tomm I'm working but its FI bachelor weekend so that means healthy eating and lots of exercise. I'm pretty exicted. Also, with only two weeks left a few of the bridesmaids are coming over to work on some DIY stuff so it should be a great weekend!

Entropic- Enjoy your shower!!!

Lobsters- Two weeks to the day! SO awesome! Are you ready??

Thanks guys - I'm not too thrilled at the prospect of a shower but I'll try my best to enjoy it. At the very least I'll get to see my family

I felt EXACTLY the same way. The idea of a lot of women (even family and friends) staring at you as you open gifts freaks me out big time. But it really wasn't too bad, plus your girls are up there with you handing you gifts, etc. It flies by quickly so enjoy it! A few mimosas doesn't hurt either ;)

maribeth721 · August 2012

I had a ton of anxiety about opening all the gifts in front of everyone! I am so awkward at displaying emotion lol. Honestly people are just kind of chatting amongst each other and stuff so it doesn't really feel like everyone is staring at you. I had my BP up there too handing me the gifts and stuff so that takes some of the pressure off as well.

SHARK WEEK! We love shark week in our household. It gives us an excuse to sneak up on each other and scream SHARK ATTACK! Basically, whoever scares the other the most wins. It's a good time.

Well, today is exactly one year until our wedding!! That darn ticker will finally start moving!

No exercise on the plan for today, but after work we have to go over to my grandparents' house. They are moving and we have stored a bunch of our stuff there, so we have to move it all over to my parents' house. So that will suffice as exercise I think.

Gotta keep the eating on track today. I am feeling sad that I had to freeze all but 4 of my peaches. There are only 2 left, and one of the two is cut up to take to work. I have to go to the grocery store and pray that they have some decent peaches there, or I may go into withdrawls.

Have a good weekend everyone!

I felt realy awkward opening gifts at my shower. I was sort of tucked away on the corner of the deck and everyone was on the patio below so it wasn't too terrible. My BMs helped hand me gifts so that made it easier. It was a HOT and humid day and we were all sweating everywhere and then a nasty storm blew in and we had to take down all of the tents, etc. It was craziness. I guess the point of this is to say: It will be fine. Just enjoy it!

Was your shower July 1st? Because that sounds EXACTLY like my shower haha!

I did OK food wise yesterday. We did alder plank Salmon for dinner with mashed potatoes. Did the bike ride to work this morning in record time! I felt I need to push myself harder got on the scale for the first time in 2 weeks and I'm up 2 pounds. I completely expected this as I have not gotten the workouts in I should and have been indulging in food.

The plan is to relax this weekend so H can get healthy for the honeymoon! 3 weeks from today and we're off.

Funk continues into today .... worked out last night next to a friend putting bad ju ju out into the universe .... BAD MOVE. Work out was awesome, but did not improve my mood.

Work treats were also available, tasty bars of amazingness. Although I picked up one that tasted awful, and even as I was saying how gross it was I continued to eat it and 1/2 a lemon bar. Bad bad bad ....

Today was just as bad. While I did 30DS this morning, YAY! There was a group lunch at a place where I SWORE I would only have a salad .... and ended up with the pizza buffet ... 3 slices of AMAZING pizza later, beating myself up about it. Why you ask? Did I not mention how I ordered hashbrowns with my weekly DND iced coffee and egg and cheese on english muffin. Offical weigh in on Sunday will NOT be fun ...
