It was a good, solid workout tonight.

Otherwise known as - I DON’T UNDERSTAND MY BODY EDITION.
It wasn’t my absolute, best, on point eating week but it wasn’t out of control. Like, at all. I still worked out hard (hellllllllllo return to spin & 2 Hour Hip Hop Benefit) and counted my calories every day except Monday (and really - I was too busy at the Gala to overeat.)
Yesterday, my weight was 200.8 — today 201.9.
So frustrating. I had a goal I had wanted before Arizona on Saturday but I guess it’s not going to happen.
My goal is to keep it all in check this week — and next week when I’m out of town. Count calories & try to get in some activity.
If my body can handle it - I’d like to do CrossFit tonight, tomorrow, Friday & then spin class on Saturday morning before I fly out.
And then when I come back, I have a pretty nice - open & clear - June, so I’m hoping that will allow me to focus on workouts & new recipes & less distractions.
Hey remember that time…
I cut all my hair off?
Super super short.
And I really loved it when I left the shop?
But then I got home & the following was said:
Dad: Don’t look good. Don’t look good at all. Why you’d do that…
Mum: It’s just not what I was expecting.
And then I cried?
When I wake up tomorrow, I’ll put on makeup, wear fun earrings & remind myself why I decided to just say “F*ck it” and do it.
To cut my hair super short…
…or not to cut my hair super short.
I’m tempted to.
Worse thing that could happen is it’ll grow back, right?
Big Gala Night for work… !
Question/Poll of the Day
Makeup while working out: yay or nay?
I know some people who can’t stand working out with it on, and some who apply before they go.
oh. and ps.
In the INSANE busy times of this weekend, I haven’t had time to fully report on this little guy’s 1st birthday party.
It was Saturday.
It was crazy & family-filled.
But he was happy. So I was happy.
Love, love, love him.
