Crazy how this is the sequence that just keeps on giving….
Maybe tomorrow I’ll add ankle weights to go out with a bang!
Le Musings of Moi, a place to say me too
Instead I’m scowering craigslist for a killer deal, because shopping has to help me avoid my emotions even better than junk food.
BECAUSE I SAY SO!

Now about YOU GUYS!
Bethany and I are going to be Making a Video for ya’ll.
What do you want to see or hear?
Advice?
Mat moves?
Dancing?
Silence?
You tell us, and we WILL DELIVER…we only live to serve the ones who are along with us in these wild and crazy days that WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
{sometimes it’s more about the pants, i’m just sayin’}
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!
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.
I’m determined, I’m tough, and one of you even says I’m fierce….so…
I also realize that some goals are so lofty and so intense, that you really only feel the need to do it once.
Since that race, I have never felt the desire to do another.
And since experiencing these 30 days, I realize I never want to gain that much weight that fast again, therefore making me HAVE to do 30 days!
Although!
I was thinking that with the insane results I’ve already seen in the first week that I may in the future return to that first weeks menu, maybe say, after a vacation week or a week where maybe I let a little too loose.
Basically after a short time of free eating.
It’s the perfect thing to do here and there just to get back on track without needing the full 30 days.
Kind of genius, I’d say.
I decided to do the same with the cream of broccoli soup.
{“cream” should have been in quotations as well, as there is no cream on this diet. sigh}
Rather than tossing all the ingredients in the blender to puree it, I simply ate it the way it was in the pot.
And it was super yummy, you know, for a vegetable soup.
I have to say that my favorite dinner EVER was the Turkey meal simply because I got to eat almost a whole freaking turkey!
Okay, more like 8-12 oz, but still….that’s a ton of meat.
{that’s what she said?}
It felt like thanksgiving, it tasted like thanksgiving, and I am now sitting here writing this feeling absolutely happy and full.
Also feeling a bit gluttonous, but of course, that is just silly.
It’s turkey, not chocolate cake!
As Jimmy and I were eating dinner together,
(he’s been eating the lunch and dinners with me),
he kept saying,
“I’m so glad Tracy gave us this reward meal. That’s what it has to be. A reward. It’s just. so. good.”
9 days ago we were eating pizza, and now turkey with broccoli is a reward.
Love that.
Speaking of pizza, our church had muffins AND cupcakes this morning, and then when church was over they announced that everyone was invited for a FREE Pat n Oscars lunch on them.
So not cool.
I had a mini pity party as I drove home, but the moment I started my workout, I was actually proud that I had stood up to my temptations and OVERCOME.
Boooya.
Today I did 40 reps of both legs and abs WITH the ankle weights. And then another 6 minutes of arms.
I’m telling you….if you’re short on time and can’t do 50-60 reps, use the ankle weights.
It’s intense.
And then because my left shin has been throbbing all the day long, I decided I better stick to the trampoline until I feel healed.
And because the kids were still napping, I danced way beyond my time….
So fun, that trampoline.
ps….
omg!!!
just remembered i have my annual tomorrow where they will absolutely weigh me.
Oh no.
I will not look.
And I have to make sure to tell them NOT to tell me.
Oh the anxiety.
=)
