Speaking of MELventures!

So I got up at 7 am and coaxed myself into working out by 9:45. I am in the workout room pumping iron and I'm just really getting into it. About that time an intruder enters into the workout room with me. After about 30 seconds of freaking out I veto my plan to head for the hills and I decide to confidently finish my workout minus the SQUAT THRUSTS. I rock my way through the rest of my workout and then strut my stuff out of there feeling very proud. I am walking back to my apartment when I reach down to put my cell phone in my pocket I realize my pocket is precariously perched on my butt instead of on my hip!!! The whole time I was rocking my workout I was doing it with BACKWARD pants and an audience hahahahahahahahhahahahahhahaha!!!! What a way to start the day :-) Happy Saturday everyone! 

2011 the year to get fit!

So finally 10 days into the year I did my first workout! After the obligatory proclamation to myself that this was going to be the year that I ate more wholesome foods and finally found my inner workout fiend, I sat on the couch or worked for the first 10 days! Now I am finally feeling motivated! I headed to the apartment gym and much to my dismay even at midnight I had to share with a bystander. I was not feeling brave enough to try my new FAT BLAST women's health workout with an audience so I sweated it out on the treadmill while this other late night gym goer dilly dallied. After the 35 minute gym stand off, most of which he was browsing facebook on his phone, the gym was MINE ALL MINE! I whipped out my macbook pulled up the workout and got busy! after 30 agonizing minutes me and my shaky legs made the trek back to the apartment for a much needed bubble bath (if only every workout could end like that). Tomorrow will be the big grocery trip and pantry clean out. We have spent the last 10 days trying to eat our house empty of most of the gross food (yes I know this may not be the best tactic for getting rid of it !) Now it is time to replenish with some good wholesome food. Anyone have good recipes or snack suggestions?
