Uh oh

So first came the earthquake, and now a hurricane.


The earthquake didn't really affect me, just got out of work early. The hurricane, might do a little more damage as I live on the water. However, we haven't had problems before, even in Hurricane Isabelle where most of my friends and family were flooded (thanks to our housing being a little off the water!). 


But I've battened down the hatches and filling up jugs of water, so things should be fine.


This week I did really great going to the gym and eating healthy. Until yesterday. Stress got to me. But one day is one day and I'm back on track.


I got my strength training from moving the 39248230948 pieces of lawn furniture and tables and umbrellas at my Mom's house. 


The other night I took my first spinning classes and man did I sweat. And then my boo-tay hurt so bad the next day. Not like hurt from exercise but hurt from the dang seat. Why can't they be padded better? A nice fluffy pillowed-saddle sounds amazing. However, it kicked my butt and am definitely going to have to get into a routine of going to these classes (most are at 5:30 am, probably not going to those ones...).

How I felt, minus the cool lights! tiredddddd!

Well, time to go finish up everything that needs to be done here. Hope everyone can stay safe!

Oh Hello Again

I have a new blog name. And design. And motivation.


On Monday I signed up for the gym. Since then I have worked out for at least 45 minutes every night. I'm determined to make this continue.


I've also been paying a lot more attention to what I've been eating and when and why. 


I've got the motivation. I've got the tools. I've got to get skinny.


I always seem to find an excuse. It was so-and-so's birthday/bachelorette party/etc/etc/etc. I'm just going to work these "special" occasions into my healthy lifestyle better. Be it working out more or enjoying a much much much smaller portion of the special treat.


I have gained weight since I've been home from Costa Rica. And it has been super sad. 


I know part of it is because I'm not walking everywhere, and I just sit at a desk all day. 

However, my scale needs to not turn into this.

Now I know that's not going to happen overnight. But over a few months, yes. Few years, even more. So I want to stop it now.

I'm going to start sharing recipes (again) and what I'm finding has been working (or not) for me. Also, I'm using this to keep me accountable, so tell me if I start slacking (again).
