Yes, you read that right. Since my girlfriend and I are in the midst of a 90 day challenge, I've been finding it hard to stay motivated and work out each day.
I try not to make excuses but of course I think moving home has a lot to do with it; I find myself not being motivated to do much anymore but sleep and take care of the dog. I also think I'm just slightly unsatisfied with my life being at a stand-still and nothing new or exciting going on so hopefully things will change when M gets home and he will lift my spirits again.
Until then, I love looking at this tumbler account. She is a real life get fit, eat clean story and posts a lot of get fit tips and recipes on here as well as a lot of great visuals that usually motivate me enough to get my daily exercise routine in.
Do you have any tips for getting/staying motivated when the last thing you want to do is workout or go to the gym? Please share I'd love to hear them!
Love&Luck

If You Can't Handle the Heat, Stay Outta the Kitchen
Loves,
As of current bestie and I are continuing our workout challange and also indulging in a healthy diet including but not limited to a lean mean green smoothie, kale chips (why didn't anyone tell me cooking them makes the house smell like farts??), and a few other goodies. Ah, a nice long week of girl time before M is back in town, just what I needed. I'm really excited to post photos and recipes of all the great stuff we're whipping up. Oh yeah, I made crepes on Sunday and they were amaze-balls. Never thought they would be so easy but I'm really excited to make them for M when he gets home.
Tonight we're dying Easter eggs with her Granny; side track, it's friggin Easter on Saturday already?! I'm excited because Mandy's family has always been an extension of my family and vice versa so this extra Granny time will make me happy. We'll also be working out tonight and taking all of our dogs on a walk.
In other news, M is stranded in Malta because the French are being losers with some airline strike of sorts. Ridiculous. Among that a few other snafus (literal meaning: a badly confused or ridiculously muddled situation) this post from People I Want to Punch in the Throat makes me really happy. Reading about other people being pissed off and reading a bunch of f-bombs really calms my nerves.
One piece of GREAT news is that I'm finally getting things for M's birthday going. It's all a surprise and of course I can't tell you what it is quite yet because he occasionally checks in on the ole blog so you'll just have to wait but since last year's gift is one that I don't want to buy him to we have a place of our own, I want to go big this year and give something he deserves. He treats me to a lot of great things so I think it's time to pay it forward and show him some love, ya know?
One more great piece of news is that reservations for my birthday in less than 2 weeks are reserved and I'm ready to celebrate the day, I know 24 is no big deal but this is my first birthday in a few years that I'll be in MN and able to celebrate with my girlfriends...stoked!
Okay I'm out-y. Busy night of fun and games ahead. Have a great Monday!
Love&Luck

Weekly Round Up: Happy Friday!
Hiiiiii lovers!! So sorry AGAIN, the crazy life I call mine never ceases to desist. I hope everyone else is getting just as excited as I am about this St. Patty's right around the corner; #1 because I'm alotta Irish and #2 because I will be working at an Irish bar in a mainly Irish populated city this year so I'm excited to watch everyone else act a fool while I make all the money, muahaha!
In other news, B. Rouche is doing great and really getting the hang of potty training. She is getting so big already it is so depressing! I'm not sure how I'll do with children growing so quickly if I can hardly handle my dog doing it. We are also varying our sleep routine; sometimes she sleeps with me, sometimes she sleeps in her kennel. Slowly but surely she is befriending her kennel, we are spending a lot of time in it when it gets close to bed time by her hanging out in it while I have my arm in there petting her and saying things like "good girl" and "good kennel". Seems to be working so it is nice to finally see some progress. She is also running at lightening speed up the stairs and is already due for her 12 week shots next week, how crazy! Gah, time is flying by.
Also, two good friends and I will begin a 90 day workout challenge starting Monday. I'm super excited about it and trying to figure out why we didn't do this before? I think it will be great that 2 others will be holding me accountable and vice versa, it will be great to push each other. I won't be posting too many details about the challenge until we're done, then I will be posting before and after photos, measurements, results, etc.
My goals for the 90 day challenge look something like this...
Yikes. Let's just hope Snooks cleans up that act of hers and pulls it together.
Secondly, anyone else see JSimp's naked prego Elle cover? I'm really 50/50 on this one because I do think pregnancy is beautiful and all that and I think I would like to do something similar but keep it to myself and throw it in a personal scrapbook. But on the other hand Mama Jess is just so big! I mean somebody needs to break her water because she looks like she is going to burst!
Does anyone else think that photoshopping of some sort was done here? Because why does she look so much bigger when she wears clothes?? I heard Jess has signed up to be a Jenny Craig spokeswoman to get rid of the baby weight which I'm excited about because you know she's gonna need help pullin that weight off and it will be cool to see how successful she is at it.
Last week I finally got my hair cut (it was going on 6 months, way too long I know!) and I asked my amazing stylist to recommend a restoring masque for my dry and damaged hair. This is what she suggested, I'm excited to do a review for it after I try it!

Honestly, I would kill to be able to confidently wear a thong bikini. Hopefully I can get close, fingers crossed.
In celebrity news, I CAN'T BELIEVE SNOOKI CAN REPRODUCE! Honestly, that girl should be one of the last people on Earth to have a child. YIKES

Also I've said it before but I am SO READY for M to be home. It is officially less than one month till he is back and I couldn't be more ready. Ready to have my partner, friend, confidant, voice of reason, love, shoulder, rock to be home and be by my side. So close! I'm so fed up with long distance that I don't even like to Skype that much anymore, I'm just annoyed with our current situation so I try not to acknowledge it and just keep counting down the days till he is home and we never have to do this again, woohoo!
Okay I think that's all I have for now. I'm going to post a couple videos of Rouche playing with Maggie at some point this weekend but otherwise don't expect much from me as I'll either be crazy busy working or dead tired from working.
Hope you all have a great weekend and a safe St. Patrick's!
Love&Luck
