HOLY CRUD it's been a while since I blogged... I hope you all can forgive me. So much has been going on and lots of things have slipped through the cracks. I hate that saying... Slipping through the cracks. It's gross. Anywhooooo..
In October I began the BIGGEST most challenging process of my life. Yep, even MORE challenging than running, wiring my jaw shut to all sweets, and raising a teenage daughter. I opened my own business. As most of you know, I'm an insurance nerd and that's what I've been doing.... I've open an Allstate office. I love it but I am exhausted most evenings from all the brain work I've been doing.
AS A RESULT I've gained back approximately 8 pounds. Ummmm... hellllooooo that's a newborn baby I've added back to my a$$ and gut. GROSS! I'll admit, I've done some running here and there. Some Jillian, some of this and some of that isn't cutting it. SLACKER.
I've caught myself hoggin down on Skittles and gummy candies. I've caught myself letting go of my hard ass work... I'm not liking it ONE BIT. It's hard to "get real" with yourself. You have to admit that you are effin' up and move forward. However while laying on the couch watching Army Wives, worrying about what happened to Jeremy at the end of season 3 is NOT MOVING FORWARD. Sheesh.........
This last month has been MUCH better and I'm getting back in the swing of things. I'm learning to manage time better at the office. Forcing myself to take a break. Allowing myself some ME time to run and I dang well better.... I have a half marathon at the end of April to do.
The hardest part of this is that my husband is amazing and loves me like this.....
Awww.. I know, right? Wade says "He's not romantic... He's smart!" Never mind their love fest tho... let's talk about me gaining 8 freakin pounds. Son of a......... Sooo Wade never said anything like "Hey fatso, go get your run on" and I never said "Hey I'm getting lazy, I should go get my run on".....
YESTERDAY I did run... and I felt like my legs were 10000000000 pounds BUT I felt great when I was done. Running really is my love. Workout videos are good.. and Jillian's Yoga Meltdown is AWESOME but... RUNNING + MANDY = LOVE forev. I love the simple math of it... approximately 1 mile = 100 calories... Yep. That's right! You still want that SNICKERS bar?
Sooo I'm back to blogging. I need it. I need to spill my guts and have you guys telling me to get off my ass. Today I will do some sort of running.. AGAIN. The weather is ugly but I have a freakin fantastic treadmill that I can run on tonight. NO EXCUSES.... so I'M BACK BABY!!! Bring on summer with short shorts and tank tops... no flabby legs and arms for this girly.
And just because this couple is too funny... I thought I'd leave you with some funny stuff. Oh and if you're offended...Sorry. Get over it... It's only a joke and yes, I'm twisted. Thx for askin.
Bahahaha... WOW he's have a bad day!
