Happy Sunday all! My hubby is sleeping off what is sure to be an epic hangover today (and lots of fun for me to deal with...) - based on what I woke up to this morning;
He had a couple of beers after I went to bed with my roommates evidently. LOL
Leila, Lisa, LockItUp - Thanks for weighing-in (hahaHA, I'M HILARIOUS!) on my scale conundrum. I have decided to do just that and not check again until the last Saturday in October. I felt all big and icky when I went to the gym yesterday, but then I saw some pictures that my husband took and it sort of weirded me out how small I looked! I have been saying for a long time I want to add mass to some areas of my body, and I AM, and it's a bit weird. My clothes fit tighter but it's a GOOD thing. Its just the lack of definition right now that I don't like, but that's what I'll be working on the next 6 weeks or so.
My husband brought me a t-shirt from his friend's supplement store that he owns in Colorado, Caliber Nutrition, so he took some pictures of me wearing it to post to Facebook for his friend. These are the pictures...
And then of course me checking out my pre-workout veins... haha
I asked my husband when I saw them "Do I look like that?!" because I thought it was a good camera angle from the back. No way do I look that small from behind! I don't know... mind f*ck!
Anyway, yesterday after the gym we hit my girlfriend's baby shower. I HATE baby showers, but this wasn't bad! LOL we drank a lot of wine! haha I of course had too many chips, crackers, cheeses, etc. and a big grilled chicken sandwich for lunch. I had a little piece of the cake but there was so much frosting on it (I really hate sugary store frosting) so I really only had a few bites of the actual cake part of it.
My roommate and I;
and of course, that gross game with the candy melted in the diapers... bleck!
After the shower we went home to change and relax for a bit. I made sure to change into a cute shirt to hide my growing food baby a bit! LOL. I have to say, here is one added benefit to weight lifting; training your arms to look super fit means you can put on a flowy tank top and still look fit, even if you're bloated. I LOVE this shirt for that very reason!
From there we headed to a movie (Taken 2) with another couple and met my roommate and another girlfriend out for dinner. We went to the hibachi grill, but I didn't eat a whole lot of my meal; I didn't like the soup or salad, and I wasn't all that hungry since I had pretzel M&Ms at the movie...
but I did eat some rice and veggies, and all of my delicious lobster. I still ate a lot, but I hardly made a dent in the rediculous amount of food they served. I had to save room for my ice cream dessert! hahaha
So... today should be a rest day from the gym, but since my husband is still sleeping and I feel a bit bloated I'm debating going and getting in a light cardio session... jury is still out, but I imagine I'll decide in the next few minutes.
More importantly, TODAY IS THE DAY! I need to be back on track and looking forward, but it might be a bit of a challenge depending on what we end up doing today. If my husband wants to get together with some of his friends in the area that probably means dinner out somewhere. I will just do my best to order a healthy meal. Maybe I should get that cardio in for some extra insurance...
We'll see how it all plays out!
================================================== ====================
Leila - I didn't get into ALL the dirty details, but I ate everything yesterday too; ice cream, chocolates, cookies, chips and dip, crackers and cheese, dinner out, drinks, and more! My plan is to just pick up and keep going... I have a goal damnit! I think you changing your goal to 135 is a FANTASTIC idea... it gives you something to keep shooting for.
Krampus - I wish they had those cakes at the baby shower and not that nasty blue frosting covered crap! Haha, the cake was cute, but not delicious looking and decadent like what you did for your bf. It looks like you're having a fun weekend!
No, I didn't get any sleep, and last night was no better after my ice cream sugar sweats at night. Boo. My hubby slept on the couch, and so this morning I got up and made him go get in bed. Hopefully he doesn't feel awful today!
Lisa - Good luck with the dinner parties! It's not easy when you're trying to be on plan, is it?
LockItUp - Wow, 80 pounds... that is amazing, really! What sort of plan do you have to help the fine tuning physique project? Do you lift?
