i can see the end! days 13 & 14

House projects seem to be taking priority over blogging…I’m actively getting ready to finish the kids wing of the house, and this weekend we’re attempting the hallway.

I have visions of black and cream stripes (black being chalkboard paint), hooks, and a gallery of the kids art….
It looks SO good in my brain, and in my inspiration pictures, so I’m excited to get it done!!!
Hopefully Monday I’ll have some pictures to share.

Now, for those of you checking in to get motivated to begin doing the 30 Day Method (or are keeping up doing it with me!), I wanted to get everyone up to date!

Workout:
Yesterday, Day 13, I was still a bit sore…so I stuck with 30 reps of everything including arms.  
Then I followed it all up with 40 minutes of trampoline dancing.

Today, Day 14, I upped the reps (yowza) to 35 of everything, and then I attempted a plethora of things for cardio.  
First I went outside and “treadmill” danced for 10 min…then I came in and tried to do cardio dance from the book for a few (got bored), and then transitioned into the 2008 video (all low impact style)…
for a total for 30 min, and all I can say is….
YAWN.  
Low impact dance can suck it.
But after spending 40 minutes on attempted cardio, it was time to call it a day.
Menu:
All I can say is THANK YOU JESUS that last week is coming to an end.  
My goodness that was a lot of fish to get through…not to mention, I discovered a few more things to add to my NEVER EAT AGAIN list.
We now have:
beets
“bloody mary”
roasted root veggies
and now….
carrot ginger soup
It was awful.  
Like eating soap awful.
Although.  
One of my best friends came over later in the day, and gobbled up half a bowl moaning about how delightful it was.
Say what?
Not me.  I just couldn’t get it all down.  Blech.  
Instead, I took Tracy’s advice (if you have STRONG taste aversions, choose something else from the menu), and so I did.  
I had a small apple with a spoonful of peanut butter.  And it was DE-LIGHTFUL.

Also, the tilapia recipe for todays lunch?
Ah-mazing.
And that flank steak tonight?
IN-credible.
Both of those recipes will most certainly be added into our routine once this is over.
I could BATHE in dijon, it’s just so major.

And now with Day 14 winding to a close, still with NO CHEATING and all by Tracy’s rules, I’m prepping myself to try on jeans tomorrow.
DYING.
So scared.
So many what ifs….
And even if they don’t button yet, I will hold out hope that amazing things will happen in the next 15 days.
I’ll also blame PMS….because even if it’s not PMS, it still always get the blame.
{kind of like the middle child, but i’ll save that for therapy.}

Not to mention, I feel GREAT and HEALTHY and am kind of majorly proud that I’ve lasted this long.
{I’m such a good obey-er….aren’t you proud mama tracy?}
Really, that’s what it’s all about, right?  Being HAPPY and HEALTHY?
Blah blah blah…
those dang jeans better button is I gotta say.

So with tomorrow being DAY 15, I have to admit it’s felt like an uphill battle to get here but I have a feeling it’s all gonna be downhill to the end.
I pickin’ up steam people, and I now have NO DOUBT I can do it.

I’m determined, I’m tough, and one of you even says I’m fierce….so…

  1. you are so right about the steak. After a ridiculously long day I just finally got to eat it (yes it’s 11) and I think it saved any bad meal of the week.

    I’m sad you didn’t like the roasted root veggies it was one of my favorite, hear you on the soup though. Add it to your “never again” list. You can read about it today’s blog 🙂

    Thanks for hanging in there with me!
