Newest Obsessions

dubstep- As of late I have become obsessed with dubsteb on Pandora.  It's the BEST driving music.  Although it makes me feel like a race car driver and drive a little too quickly on the toll road.


smart water- Always loved smart water better than any other bottled water but recently I've been drinking it more and more.

exercise- especially Yoga.   I love Yoga!   And now Andrew has us doing this Insanity thing, which will kill me I'm sure, and yet I am excited to get in shape and happy about myself again.

safseed oil-I need to stop going into vitamin world because every time I go in there I buy more and more health stuff.


 coconut oil-The wonder oil.  It is amazing on hair, skin, everything.  It's the best thing.
ever.

Pinterest- Sadly I've become obsessed with this too.

Overdone

My silly Gram- who laughs at me. 

Last week I mentioned being a "fat jar loser" and the need to get myself in gear and work out... well I may have overdone that a tad.

Sunday I started the "Max Capacity Training".  Wow that was painful but I pushed through thinking that stopping was not helping me at all.   So after that I felt sore but good.  I relaxed most of Sunday and then on sunday night I was watching America's Next Top Model reruns.   Not a good idea.  That show always makes me feel huge!!  And it makes me feel old as of lately because all those girls are 18 and 19. Well I got up and did pilates- right there on the spot!  In retrospect that was the nail in the coffin because two days later and my legs are still in pain.  So much pain that my Gram is laughing at me because she says I'm like an 80 year old woman.   

I wanted to go for a run later tonight, but I am trying to get my legs back into working order because Thursday I am going to the Cardiologist for a stress test and an echo.  Onto the topic of the Cardio-  This week I have been forced to wear a King of Hearts monitor, which is really more a pain than anything else.   Basically these two electrodes are on my body and I hook a portable monitor to it and press the button when I am having pain or trouble breathing- no big right?  Well the electrodes itch like there is no tomorrow!!!!  Seriously!  Driving me nuts!  But oh well, I've added it to my life adventure, which is really all I can do.

Fat Jar Loser needs a workout.

Fat Jar Loser here.  My coworkers and I decided to create the "fat jar".  The basic rules were as follows:
1. Each day if you eat any one bite of something bad for you (chocolate, wine, candy, etc) you must put a dollar in the fat jar.
2.  You must also put a tally mark on the box to indicate your indiscretion for the day.
3. This counts monday through friday with weekends being free days.
4. The dollar you put in counts for the whole day.  So a max of a dollar a day.

So the start of this was okay, except that each time we put a dollar in the jar we basically took that as "must not waste that dollar" and ate like fatties the rest of the day.  I, being of poor self control and a sweet tooth to end all else, basically funded the fat jar.   At one point, I essentially just put a $5 in the box so I would have a credit going.   Pathetic, I know.

Now that the fat jar is over though, and Shazieh has run off with all the spoils of eating heathy, I have realized a few things:
    1. A little junk food is okay in moderation.  A cookie won't kill you as long as it's just one and countered by healthy eating and exercise.
    2.  My self control is zero, zilch, nada, and Pathetic. I'm such a fat ass.
    3. I really do need to get into shape.
    4.  I really need to stop entering in work contests.

Thus, the newest workout of the month.  Except let's hope this lasts a lot longer:

So, day one on this Max Capacity Training... my legs feel like noodles now.   It makes me sad that I am so out of shape.   But this is a great way to get back into shape.   So I suppose for all the bitching I will probably do about this workout, I'll actually be thankful.
