WEEK 10: Swimerella

Oh my!  It is so HOT outside!  We Californians are so spoiled =)... I wouldn't have it any other way!  I only ran once this week... It is far too hot for me to put on a pair of black paints and run my BUTT off, and I'm not about to put on a pair of tight running shorts! Forget that! I will do the world a favor and save those shorts for those Soccer girls on the track! I am so happy that we have a neighborhood pool.  I swam for cardio and lifted weights in my air-conditioned home. It was so fun working out with Eden.  I put her on my shoulders and  did squats and lunges- actually I used her as a weight for several exercises!!!  She LOVED it.  Here is a picture I took of Edie Peedie that I took, and a video Andrew decided to take of me... what a stinker, lol!

I was lazy on food this week, so I invested in some Lean Cuisines!  I know, I am bad.  I need to go shopping for some more fresh produce!  I LOVE spinach. There are so many things you can do with it, its crazy! It's on my grocery list!

On a more serious note.  I have been feeling pretty unmotivated and worn out these last couple of weeks.  Sometimes I just felt like "taking a break."  I will do a hardcore workout one day, and the next I will want to do the bare minimum. I find it is easy to take a break from the hard-corness of it all, but it is pretty darn hard to get back on the horse!  I am so close to a number (my weight) that I want to see SOOO badly, but I sabotage myself by not doing what I really need to. What is up with that?

I need to prioritize all over again.  I need to constantly remind myself how important it is for me to get in shape.  This may come as a surprise to some of you, but Andrew and I want try for another baby at the end of the year or the beginning of next year. However, I want to be in shape before taking up another journey like that.  I want to get my body back so badly, and I need to WOMAN up and just do it.  I don't want to be the only fat one in our family!  If all else fails, I will just take the family out to McDonalds and donuts twice a week to fatten them up... JUST KIDDING... It would definatly be In n' Out Burger!  Anyways!  I am going to eat some awesome grub!  Here is a picture of what we are having tonight... I did good ;).

Teriyaki Chicken, Veggies and Brown Rice!
