Steph shared this concept with me today. I think it's the best thing I've heard in a long time. 

I'm going to work to put this into action. And to feel ok when I do. 

Week 3

This week seemed harder. Maybe the honeymoon really is over. I just feel moody and stressed this week and I guess I thought that would all magically go away if I was exercising.  I still have a lower belly (muffin top - gah) and my clothes still feel tight. 

So, time for a  non scale victory list:

1.  I haven't missed a workout in three weeks. NEVER have I achieved that. 

2. I look forward to getting up in the morning. 

3. I did ten FULL push ups yesterday. When I started I couldn't do two. 

4. I did 12 arm presses with 10 lbs. when I started I struggled with 8 lbs. 

5. I think I am mostly eating pretty good. I havent made big changes there. And I refuse to give up a glass of wine in the evenings. 

6. I have been doing non modified planks (45 sec, 3 reps). 

7. Everyday, even shitty days  - I have at least this one action I can be proud of. 

My workout buddies

5:30 is just a little too early for them. But they try. 

(good thing I have Keely on text as a back up buddy)

Care Package!

This arrived today: 

Hmmmm, what could it be? 

I've learned to never assume that the inside of the box matches the outside. For our wedding we received an extricate wok. I sent a thank you card citing said wok (I was careful to thank each person for their specific gift). A few months later I stated to actually unpack the wedding gifts (we lived in a small apartment and I was overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone). I was excited to fire up the wok - only to discover the ugliest glass picture frame I have ever seen. No wok. 

Ok. So we know this box doesn't have mini wheats. What could it be? 

Ok, now  I'm REALLY Excited!

So cute. Perfect fit!

You don't even know how good these smell. 

And...

TADAAA!!

Thank you Allison.  Honestly,  that was such a fun random suppose. I loved it!!
