Get Fit Challenge 2.0

 


So it’s been 2 years since I started my fitness challenge and here we are.    I have been faithful about doing my workouts and the ‘breakfast club’ girls keep me accountable.  I even paid for another 6 months for this year.  (We are on our 3rd trainer so not sure what that says about us😝)


I really expected to look like Cindy Crawford at 50 by now.  I feel like I am in better shape than I’ve been a long time (probably ever) but my shape is also ROUND.  I can’t seem to get rid of the mushroom growing around my middle.  (Will totally admit I am not a good dieter. ). I work out therefore I can drink beer and eat carbs RIGHT?? Guess I am not a good in moderation.


So now it’s a new year and I am still using the menopause excuse and my acid reflux excuse and well I do work out excuse and I live in the cold tundra excuse and I have to cook for my hubby so I might as well eat excuse AND HOLY HELL!!!  Time to do something.  


We booked a trip to AZ last fall (after champagne, wine and food) and just got back from visiting.  It was an amazing get away and perfect weather for me.  Walked every morning, golfed one day and ate and drank VERY WELL I might add.  

The one downfall……. The guess bathroom had a mirror STRAIGHT across from the shower.  AND since I’ve had my eye surgery - I CAN SEE EVERYTHING!!!  OMG.  My menopause mushroom is now a menopause tree trunk from the Redwood Forest.  

So…. As we are watching TV I decided it’s time to check into a weight loss program of some sort.  If I can quit smoking cold turkey, I should be able to CUT BACK on my food intake.  

Anywho…. I take the quiz and put in all my information and yep, it’s what I need to do.  Get to the end and they want my credit card information.  Crap.  My card is in a whole other room and I am all cuddled on the couch.  Guess I will finish it tomorrow 🙃

Keep on the lookout for updates on my progress (if I am not to weak from not eating)

Where the F^*@ did summer go??

  As I am writing this it is almost the end of August and we are taking our home on wheels camping.  This is our 3rd time out (can’t count the countless hours I sat in the driveway in it because I needed  a vacation.) Our first outing was to a country music fest in Karlstad MN.  Appropriately called Kickin Up Kountry.   We went with siblings and outlaws and had a blast.  Naturally we pull up and the camper RIGHT NEXT DOOR is a classmate of mine from high school and his wife.  What are the odds.   AND It was hot out so we all know I was a sweaty mess for 3 days.   You know it’s bad when I wear a cowboy hat AND a t-shirt at the same time.  With an umbrella and a fan.   So not my fashion statement but I plan on wearing it again next year!!!   Saw my first Baja races and more men in bib shorts and cowboy boots than I care to count.  Working on Scott’s wardrobe for next year.😄😀 Our second outing was a staycation.   We camped in our hometown park.  It was so fun.  We couldn’t go home no ma

  OMG.  I can't believe it's June already.  The older I get the faster time goes and the less I seem to do. Sleeping has become one of my favorite pastimes and some nights are better than others. The other morning I had my alarm set really early because I had a meeting and needed to be ON TIME!!  Hate when that happens but that's a whole other rant.  People that show up for appts anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes early….  Not going there. So, my alarm goes off and I don’t want to wake up Scott that early.  I usually turn it off right away, hop out of bed with a smile on my face singing a song but this day I couldn't do it.   My arm was completely numb.  So I flop over and try to grab my phone.  I yank the cord out of the wall and the phone falls under the bed.  I then roll on the floor (literally) to find the phone.  Meanwhile my right arm is somewhere else and I can't find it.   By this time my alarm is getting LOUDER AND LOUDER and I want to shut it off but I need my

What has happened to me?????

  Has this been the longest winter EVER?  I am pretty sure it has.  Don’t get me wrong, I am all for baggy sweaters and sweatshirts to cover things up but I running out of idea’s of what to put together. Have you ever noticed how some girls look so damn cute in flannel?  I see my friends and others around wearing the CUTEST flannel’s and think “Jodi.  (That’s what I call myself on a good day).  You need to get you some and look cute like they do.”  Ya right!!  I bought a flannel and it even has PINK in it.  I put it on and I look like a displaced hooker from the mountains.   AND SWEAT!!  Holy hell.  Menopause and flannel DO NOT MIX!!  It’s 10 below out and we head to Fargo.  My courteous husband turns on the seat heat in the pick-up so we can be toasty.  All fun and nice to get into a warm vehicle but 15 minutes later I can’t get out of my coat and flannel fast enough.  Good thing the windows were fogged up.  I was as close to naked as you can be on the interstate without being arreste
