Living’ Life… Finally!

By Marensmorsels @marentweets

Hey all! I’m so uber sad that I didn’t get a post in yesterday. But work was cray-cray. We have a huge order that has to go out today and we’re really under the gun. 4pm is going to come up way too soon.

Yesterday I decided I’m over this whole not living thing. It’s weird, when my tummy and intestines are freakin’ out I kinda curl up and hide. I quit eating things that aren’t 1 billion percent safe, I don’t push myself to do workouts, or anything strenuous for that matter. It’s like I go half way all day, every day, in every thing.

That’s no way to live.

Yesterday I felt pretty darn good so I decided, I’m over this. I ate some totally yummy food that was pretty safe. I did a great workout. And I feel so much happier about life. If that’s not healthy, I don’t know what is.

Max came in last night to treat me to an after work cocktail. Don’t you just LOVE him?!?! Back off, he’s mine!!!

We went to BJ’s. I had the En{light}ened Mojito, which was perfect. I like ordering cocktails off the ‘skinny’ menus not because they’re less calories but because they aren’t as fake-sweet.

I also had their Chicken Fresca which was awesome and delicious. (see picture above)

Before we went out on the town I did a great workout!!!

I started with a 2 mile jog.

Then I did this (with synchronized swimming playing OnDemand):

  • 3 sets 15 of dumbbell toe touches
  • 2 sets of 12 offset squats
  • 3 sets of 15 bar crunches
  • 2 sets of 15 sprinters
  • 3 sets of 15 reverse hyperextensions
  • 3 sets of 12 lunging step ups
  • 3 sets of 12 romanian barbell deadlifts
  • 3 sets of 12 bar squats
  • 2 sets of 8 walking lunge twists

Then I finished with another 2 mile jog!

BOOYEAH!

Today I had another light breakfast because it’s BBQ FRIDAY!!! We’ll be hitting up Salinas City BBQ for lunch for sure… I’m already drooling.

TELL ME ABOUT YOU!!! I WANT TO KNOW…

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER AND MORE ENERGIZED?

living!

WOULD YOU EVER DO STRENGTH TRAINING AT THE GYM NEXT TO AN OBVIOUS BODY BUILDER?

No. In fact I always do all of my strength at home because I’m easily intimidated.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COFFEE?

I like the blueberry flavor my convenience store has.

ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT LIKES TO WEAR MISS MATCHED SOCKS?

NO! NO! NO! I will not do it.
