Soooo, as if Marti and I haven't come up with enough crafty shenanigans (some of which coming up are SO FREAKING COOL, may I just add), we've decided to add another one to our proverbial plates - this one, not so crafty-related, hence the new BLOG!

So every month we've decided to set three 'small' goals for ourselves each in the categories of diet and exercise. We will focus on those goals for the entire month so as to not overwhelm ourselves or ask too much of ourselves (for now) so the temptation to quit is more unlikely (we're hoping!). If you wanna participate, feel free and let us know how it's working out for you! Or if you've got any tips, tricks, encouragement or suggestions, we ALWAYS want to hear them, so be sure to let us know!

Here we gooooo...

Things I've Learned...(Part II)

  1. LIIIIIIES!!!

    Look how freakin' skinny they are to START WITH!!! The stupid add guarantees that it won't roll down like those "other" undergarments...but what they forgot to tell you is that they won't roll down if you have 2% body fat on your ENTIRE body!!! I can NOT even get over how irritated I am about this product! Ugh. Just goes to show. No quick fixes...but I thought it would just smooth everything out underneath my bridesmaid dress, instead I got new lumpies and bumpies to add to the lumps and bumps I already HAVE! Seriously, note to self: NO MORE INFOMERCIALS!

  2. Dieting is like being in the middle of the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 Step program. You go in one day at a time with all the best intentions. You're going to get better, you're going to do this and that...but then you hit a little snag and an evil little voice in your head whispers to you, "You've been doing good these past few days. It's been so EASY. There's nothing wrong with you. You can always go right back on. You've already done it. You can totally have that piece of pizza. It's okay if you have that plate of fries. It's only just this one time anyway. You'll do better tomorrow. You can stop whenever you want. You already know you can do it."

    TELL THAT VOICE TO SHUT UP! No, seriously. SHUT UP!

    If you haven't reached your goal weight, then having just one turns into just two, and then two is just three and then three is just one day, and then the next thing you know you ate spaghetti, Pizza Hut (twice), french fries, chicken wings, a Sprite and a mango daquiri all in ONE WEEKEND.

  3. The weekend is EVIL. Conquer it early. Defeat it before it claims you! It's a long road ahead.

  4. Do NOT think that you're Super Man just because you've been hitting it at the gym a couple times a week. Do not think that just because you're "working out" you can sign up for a two-day volleyball/basketball tournament and jump, dive, squat, run and pivot like you're a pro-athlete and wake up the next day ready to do MORE. Over-doing things sets you BACK because first of all you're too stiff the next day to even move and second of all because you're so stiff and sore, you feel like you're justified when you take three days off from working out. NO!!!

  5. It'll probably kill the romance if you keep trying to check your BPM on your HRM during sex. I haven't learned that one first-hand...but just imagining it doesn't seem all that sexy...

    "Hang on...I have to check my BPM! ..Hang on...it hasn't calculated it yet....okay...it says I'm at 123 which is only 64% max...okay, let's go. ...okay...hang on, I have to check my BPM again..."

    Despite that....I'm still kind of curious... *LOL*
