Jon & I went out for dinner and a movie Friday night for my birthday. I had a FABULOUS day...I can't say that enough. At work I received gifts from a few and they all surprised me in the break room with cake and ice cream. Yes I did eat some and enjoyed every delicious bite! :) Then the ever so sweet Donna surprised me with a Victoria's Secret giftcard (Love ya Donna!). After work I went to the gym where it seemed deserted. It's funny to me how empty the gym always is on Fridays. Makes me feel dedicated, I guess. So then I get home from the gym and the whole place is clean and the laundry was finished. Smart man, my husband. I went into my bedroom and there was a gorgeous new jewelry box on my dresser! Oh yes...and inside? A brand new wedding band and setting for my diamond!! I seriously screamed louder than I did when I saw my engagement ring. Did I mention it was a fabulous day? hehe We went out for some BBQ wings and a chix quesadilla at Buffalo Wild Wings and then went to a movie- 1408. Good and creepy if you're into scary movies. :) OH and this was the first time in a long time we didn't get popcorn at the movies. We felt too fat from all the food at BWW's.
Jon's in Vegas this week with a buddy and I'm trying to use this time to focus on my workouts and eating. My diet has been great and my energy feels better every day. One thing that I think is making the biggest difference? I'm checking Tracker daily. When I did my first challenge, I was on there a lot. There's just something about seeing those progress pictures and reading tips and ideas that keeps me excited. I was sooo tempted to enter the Summer Challenge. Jon is gone and I can't seem to get a good picture, so...I figured I'm going to save the $25 entry fee and just follow along (kicking ass along the way, of course).
Today I took a spin class with a DAMN good instructor. Holy crap she about killed me. I was so impressed. She pushed us harder than I've ever been pushed in that class. I always thought it was tough, but I was praying it was going to be over soon- my legs were screaming! I was started to get that blood taste in my throat that I used to get in HS basketball practice during intense sprints.
I tested out some new HM protein bar recipes this past weekend. I'd post the recipes, but they SUCKED.
I'll keep trying.
