There's still some stuff to work on

Ugh. I got the major munchies last night after I got home from work. Instead of being good and just getting ready for bed. I pulled out the dark chocolate pomegranate candies, and the cashews, and finished off with some chips and salsa.

Needless to say, I am not any lighter today that I was yesterday. But my chest and arms are sore from working out.

To keep the munchies at bay today I upped my calories a little (I have been going for about 1000, today more for 1200) with a little extra protein. I'm hoping that will keep the munchie monster under control. I also spread everything out so that I have a snack for the ride home. Which hopefully will let me be food free for the night before going to bed.

So, after posting that picture of the move from Body Revolution I had been describing to the BF I did workout number 12. And she had a circuit of planks with a back fly - basically the first part of the Gif I put up yesterday:

And JM starts it by recommending light weights (3 lbs). Which of course, I didn't listen to. I mean, did I not just get done doing a way harder move last week?  So yeah, I got the 5s and used those instead. The first time anyway. I went back to 3s the second time.

But, let me tell you there are plenty of exercises I still can't do -

V-flyes (wishing I could go lower than 3lb)

skaters with 3lb weights in hand (I drop them half way)

Side Plank Crunches (I have to be on my elbow not my hand)

But, it's all okay because I've still made lots of progress in other areas. My endurance has increased as well as my strength in some areas.  Now, if I can get the scale to match. I'd be a happy camper.

Kitty asked about my tumblr. You can see it at: http://seeksomethingelse.tumblr.com/

Be warned I almost never re-blog or post. I got it mainly because Google Reader is being discontinued in 2 weeks and I need to be able to follow all the blogs I read. Blogger keeps those ones, but I was using Google Reader to read all of them in one spot.  To be honest, there are very few tumblr blogs I like. Most are just re-posting everything else, so I see the same things again and again. When I started my tumblr I didn't follow every blog in my GR for that very reason.

Plus (and this could be my age showing - I imagine it's full of 14-19 year old girls) it bugs me how willing people are to ask for advice from random tumblr "fit" bloggers. I mean why are you asking a random person on the internet if your exercise or diet plan is going to work? Why ask them if what you had for breakfast is good for losing weight? How the hell should they know? Go ask an F-ing doctor, nutritionist, or personal trainer. Or look it up. You can find quality information on line. And if that doesn't work, last I checked libraries were still around. Go ask them, it's what they're paid for, to find you information!  Also if I have to see another "selfie" someone took because they wanted to make sure they looked good before a skype conversation I might kill my computer. Since when did web cams replace mirrors?

Sorry - The other question was: when is my Anniversary with the BF?

 I generally make him celebrate our anniversary the first weekend in October. We met October 2, 2008 during the Vice Presidential debate. I remember it so vividly because I was tired from work (it was a Thursday) and I wanted to stay home and watch them. But it was over two weeks later that we finally had our first date. I thought he was going to give up because I canceled the first time we were supposed to go for drinks, and then I was out of town with dancing friends the next time he wanted to take me out.

Sort of fitting that this is when the BF and I met considering
we are complete opposites too!
