F U Weekends

So I'm gonna be honest…weekends are my fucking arch enemy.  Why?  Because I go places and am forced dumb enough to eat things like buttery bread and apple cake and buffalo chicken dip (<-- should be illegal for anyone trying to lose weight).  I went through a spurt where I was pretty good at saying no to this stuff, but for some reason lately I just can't.  I know I know, can't shouldn't be in one's vocabulary.  But anyway, these weekends have been killing me.  I don't struggle much at all during the week since everything is so routine and I'm controlling everything that's available to me (for the most part).  And now with the holidays coming up, I'm really gonna have to buckle down and make healthier choices when I'm in those fat girl food situations.  Because right now the weekends seem to be cancelling out all the efforts I put in during the week.  Don't let weekends bend me over, put that on my to do list.

With that said, this weekend was a blast!  We went down to central Virginia (aka: God's country) where the hubs' family is from.  We got in some solid family time and enjoyed some amazing fall weather and scenery.  Some highlights included seeing my bro and sis in law, aunts and uncles and some cousins.  You ever hang out with a family member (or two) and think, hey cool I get to keep you forever!  Yeah, I did that.

 

This week I'm focusing my efforts on some gym madness!  I'm constantly motivated by those around me (near and far).  Today I'm super inspired by a reader that's kicking off a 12 week eating/workout regimen, complete with no alcohol (she's obviously insane), but damn, she's gonna do awesome.  Also, a friend that ran two races (a 5k and a 10k) in one weekend.  Who the fuck does that?  Badasses.  So to all you badasses out there, keep doin what you're doin.  In honor of all you crazies I will be picking things up and putting them down like a motherfucker this week.

Ain't that the fuckin truth.

Who motivates you?
