Meathead Monday: Maximizing Results

What does it take to see results? For me, it's a matter of maximizing my time! I'm struggling between my desire to pick heavy things up and put them down and getting my stomach to stop jiggling when I brush my teeth. Aka: weights vs cardio. With an hour to work out in the morning it's a challenge for me to do both, or at least it feels that way.
Once I got to a # I was pretty content with and no longer FELT chunky on a daily basis, I stopped being so crazy about cardio and thoroughly enjoyed a workout that consisted primarily of weights. Was I seeing results? Yep. Were my pants fitting any better than they were before? Nope. I know I need to find a better combination of the two. This week I'm making an effort to get to the gym at 5:15. Supposedly they open at 5:30 but the doors usually get unlocked around 5:15! What's that mean? Means my jiggly ass can get in 45 minutes of cardio PLUS 30 minutes of weights and still have time for my morning routine.

Ok ok, so this might be one of the creepier selfies I've taken.

That's my goal for this week. Good thing I don't give a shit about sleep! Also, the weekends have been crushing my ass lately, not in a good way. This upcoming weekend won't be much different! So let's go for Meathead Monday (through Friday) so that come Saturday and Sunday I don't feel bad about eating some birthday cake. Ben is turning 30 and I'm throwing his ass a little cookout on Saturday. And although cake goes best with milk, lezbehonest, I'll be chasing it with cocktails.

Must. Work. Ass. Off. This. Week.

In other news. The woman on the elliptical next to me looked like she was about to give birth this morning. I just kept thinking she'd really fuck up my bicep routine if she did.

And because I didn't take any pictures of cardio, weights and pregnant ladies, here's a few pictures from this weekend's shenanigans.  The highlights of which included a some quality time with Ben, a bonfire with my brother and soon-to-be sis and some Puerto Rican cooking lessons from mom!


 

Arroz con pollo…working on getting the recipe!
 
Is there something you can do this week to maximize your meatheadedness?
