The Treadmill is a Lazy Whore!

Well it's Saturday whores!  Could it be the best day ever already?  Why, yes it can!!! 

I even was allowed to sleep in to 8:07 am!  With a quick snuggle from Mr. Insatiable our day has started already...but you know what?  I am ok with it.  We are gonna have a great morning together, making pancakes and eggs, and then off to the rest of our day (groceries, cleaning, laundry etc..) but again..do you really care?  Likely not....

I wanted to talk about my lazy treadmill for a second.  You see, before we moved into the Insatiable Palace, we were given a treadmill.  It was free and it worked!!  It was fantastic!!!  (SF thank you again!!!)  The thing was that when we got it Mr. Insatiable told me I wasn't going to use it etc...he told me it would collect dust...then I started to use it.  I did every day....until now, when we have been living in the new house for 2 months already and the fucking lazy treadmill is still in my garage!!  It's quite preposterous that one would run on the treadmill in the garage amidst the garbage and bicycles.

I have talked to the treadmill a few times about this, saying " once you were such an inspiration for me to hop up on you and run my feelings out but now...you lazy cow, you haven't even picked yourself up off your fat ass and taken yourself down to the basement where you belong!!"  I mean really, how is the treadmill supposed to motivate me to do anything remotely close to running on it when it has no inspiration to get ready for it...really people it's a sad state.

I will say that I am going to try to get her ass in gear along with mine.  I have been continually taking it slow to make sure that I am ready for the change of a lifetime (more of a fucking shock to my system than getting knocked up 3 years in a row) and I am!!!

I have cut out all unnecessary sugars, and creams etc....I was drinking 3 XL triple triple's a day (for those of y'all who don't speak Canadian coffee..that's an XL coffee with 3 cream (18%) and 3 sugars....while I know it tastes amazing I have converted myself (along with the support from Mr. Insatiable) to drinking 1 Large double milk 1 1/2 sugar.  This was huge for me!  I noticed the my head aches aren't as severe and when I feel that I need a coffee after I have enjoyed the 1 per day, I am totally in the habit of chugging a bottle of water to suppress the caffeine addiction. 

By doing this, chugging water, not only have I gotten myself trained to drink 8 bottles (min) a day,I am also learning how my body responds to cruel and unusual punishment. 

Tuesdays I am still playing volleyball and I am still loving it!  I know that my body loves that I am diving, and basically flopping around the court and that I am seeing a little difference in my figure.  So here it is...I have challenged myself to the 30day shred again.

You may be asking why I would do this to myself again? But nothing made me more inspired than the thought of roundhouse-kicking Jillian in the box.  So....day 1 is today!   Day 1 is today..even as I say it now, I feel like I am trying to convince myself..but I know that this has to start! 

If I want to do it, it's not gonna shed with my politely asking. I also feel that my body is used to burning enough calories now, that any additional torture I put myself through will certainly assist in the sheddage. (Its totally a word motha-fahker!)

Also, I have incorporated some great tips from Sparkpeople.com about menu/meal planning.  You see JewliaGoulia, this fantastic babe of a blogger has been talking about it for a while. and I have known about it for longer; however, I had never put 2 and 2 together...usually that equaled 2 double gin and 7's....now, it actually sums up how to do this right.

I have also seen amazing things that other weight-loss bloggers have been doing and I feel that I too want to strut my stuff....but you would think that I had been?  I have adapted a few new items in the wardrobe - grown amazing nails (I have no idea how or when they became important- but none the less they are) and I have also taken stock of my life and understand the fundamentals of what I need in my life....

I have devised this plan:

Rotten to the Core:

I need in my life: OBVI, my family especially Mr. InsatiableGreat food and a reason to cook and eat healthy ----why not make it healthy and the image that stains my mind of me being gigantic.  You would think that it's that simple...but when your 6 year old says "momma, you's gotta fat ass" while joking, something clicks..ya know?

So, here it goes..my adventure begins again....30 days from now will also = the first day of my vacation....let's see where this takes me.  I think that I will have the balls to post before/after's and or measurements/weights etc..but before I lose this motivation I am gonna go work some shit out with Jillian.

Peace out bitches!!!

I've heard a lot about the 30 day shred. Need to get my back healed so I can get back to working out!! (10 years of competing takes its toll apparently :) )

Our neighbor has a treadmill in her garage, yes, among the garbage and bicycles. I just can't do it. Gym membership it is for us :)

Have a good weekend (from SITS)

I want to do the 30day shred because I've heard it works...as long as you keep up with it after the 30days as well. We'll see.

But I'm going to continue with my walking outside with my ol ipod. :) I am really getting into it.

I've been getting my butt kicked with the 30 Day Shred for a while now... And there are always many many "I hate you so much"es yelled at Jillian with her stupid gravity-defying sweat pants that seem to be held up by magic and prayers...

Thanks for stopping by :-) I love your blog....
