Wow, I hate how busy it is after a long weekend.
Anyways, I finally got around to creating an album with pics of me. If anyone is interested take a look. They are mostly from the past 5 years. I don't have any recent photos but will get some soon.

Valentines was awesome! Definitely did not follow my high protein diet though! I had mimosa's and buttermilk biscuits for breakfast. A couple Irish car bombs for lunch and topped it off with chocolate covered strawberries for dinner. Was a damned good day.

What day is it? That is how my week has gone so far. Not in a bad way, it's just that I have been a bit spaced out. May be due to the antihistamine I have been taking. Maybe a few shots would help. Anyways. Don't have much to say just wanted to post a new blog.
Woohoo I have tomorrow off! No work for this girl. Well not my usual work. Instead I am going to get a few things done around the house then spend some time at my man's business. I told him I wanted to bake him something and he requested Irish soda bread. I just got back form the store with all the goodies. So, tomorrows lunch, home made from scratch Irish soda bread made with real Irish butter, buttermilk and currants. Made in an iron skillet of course. Yep gonna have to use all my daily Carbs for one slice of this bad puppy but its gonna be worth every bite.
A woman I work with was passing around a fund raiser for her child's school and I have a soft spot for helping the little one's sell stuff. So I ordered a few magazines. One for my husband, a men's fitness magazine. Thinking of course that we just started lifting weights together and maybe this magazine would have better and/or different info than my fitness magazines and he might find it interesting.
Well, it came today. Or should I say they came today. The mag sent this month and next months at the same time. Then I noticed there was a picture of Ashton Kutcher on the front. Why the hell would men want to look at a pic this guy? Well okay I opened the mag and I guess this famous person does Krav Maga but still. A few pages later there is a pic of half naked woman. Why wouldn't they put her on the cover? I mean really, men do not think the same way women do. Women want to look at pretty pictures of other women and say I wish I looked like that. I assume guys wouldn't do that but I could be wrong. Anyways, I was expecting something much different and so this came as bit of a shock. This looks like a women's magazine. I will probably end up reading it instead of my husband. LOL.
If any of you guys out there know of any good men's magazines please let me know. One's without a feminine side. My man is definitely NOT Feminine. His response "It's gay babe. The magazine you ordered me is gay. I am not getting off at staring at duds asses, that's for sure". I need help here. LOL. Then he says "Why don't you order me a women's fitness magazine". To which I responded that I have a couple coming and that he can read my magazines and I will read his.

Today is day 31 of P90X and I am loving it!! It is seriously hard and intense but that is what I love about. I started on the LEAN regime to get started and I am now switching over to the CLASSIC regime which has more weights and a little less Cardio. I am also sticking to the Fat Shredder high protein diet.
What I have accomplished in 30 days:
I feel so much better. I am starting to remember what it feels like to be fit. My muscles are all loosened up and I have a lot better core strength than I have in a while.
I Lost 5 pounds, 1% body fat and anywhere from 1/2 -2 inches from each of my measurements. Not a bad start!
No more Kankles!!!! HaHa LOL. I didn't realize this was an issue until I had this realization last night as I was sitting on the couch. I stretched one leg forward and was rotating my ankle when I noticed I could see and feel all the muscles in my ankle. Pretty fucking cool.
I can now lower myself from plank slowly to the ground without just falling to the ground and I can do upward dog without my knees on the floor. LMAO! YOGA, it's a love hate relationship.
I am still modifying several of the moves but have gotten better at all of them. No doubt that I will doing all exercises full force by the time the 90 days is up.
I suddenly feel too vain so will leave you all with that. Have a great day!!!

Well I have been so excited about my new tattoo that I have been showing it to everyone.
Including people at work. Which may not always be the best thing to do now that I think of it. Apparently most people at work see me as this sweet, young, conservative, innocent girl who would never do something like get a Tattoo. LMFAO! I got quite a few different responses from wow that's so pretty, to the surprised expression while saying Oh,um,very nice. To the complete look of shock and distain of which they immediately tried to cover up as soon as they realized their reaction. I found it quite amusing. It really was pretty funny. LOL. People are weird and too caught up on what's "right" to them. I find it interesting how people can see what they want in people instead of seeing them for who they are.
