First week of GRIT exercises complete!

Whoo! Glad that's over. Oh, wait. It's not. There's more. And it just gets harder. More reps. Faster. 

Ok, I have to quit whining. It's all gonna be worth it. That's what I want, right? To have my ass kicked? To be hotter than ever? Yes, yes that's what I want. Here we go. One week down. Day 7 of diet starts today. 

I'll weigh myself when I re-wake up. Remember, I'm doing these workouts at 6am. Also, I am NOT a morning person. At all. I had a lot of vacation time that I had to be taken by the end of the week or it's lost. Well, 3 days of it is lost...but that's ok. Glad that I didn't take it before now because this week was a good resting week. Didn't purposely plan it, but it's been nice. Wish I could lie and say I accomplished something else... But I didn't! Haha! I did think of a cool makeup look this morning while I was in the shower though...so that's pretty exciting 

I've been lying to myself pretending that I'm gonna clean my car out today or organize all of my clothes...we'll see what happens. Good luck to me...haha

Need to look up evening class schedule at Brickhouse tonight...might need to attend...hmm...

I didn't go to ripped tonight. I did a new makeup look instead. I'll post that info tomorrow. 

Flowers & work

So...I worked today. I got off at 5 and met with my wedding planner Julie. So excited!!!! After discussing my ideas with Julie and my florist, I'm more excited now than ever!!!! Eek!!! So many great ideas! 

Decided to make the wedding more "mermaid's treasure" and less "cliche bullshit." That's pretty exciting! I'm thinking pearls everywhere and shells and everything beautiful! My heart is racing because of all of these great ideas!!!!

I should probably get in bed because I have to be up at 520 for GRIT strength!!! Eek!!! It's a weight-lifting class...so in pretty excited about that too! 

Moral of the story: I am excited. About everything! 

This picture is so ugly that it looks like a terrible snapchat that you send to your friends. Ehhh, I don't care, haha 

Galaxy nails take 2!

I think I'm gonna start doing galaxy nails more often because I love them so much!!!! 

I've already done a post on how to do these...so I'm just gonna post the colors used! 

The base coat was Ciate Untestricted Glam and China Glaze Fairy Dust

Then I sponged on these colors: 

There's no color listed on the Color Club shade. The Essie shades are Bikini So Teeny and Play Date. 

The final coats of glitter:

The Rue shade has no name and the Ciate is Helter Skelter. 

It should come as no surprise that I used some Ciate polishes. They're my favsies!!!

Lazy day

Today was our first day of GRIT Plyo. And it was terrible. Haha. I do not have the balance for those stair thingies yet. But I know it will get better! Kaitlyn and Michele wouldn't let us give up! They kicked our asses today...but I know we will be thanking them soon! 

I've lost 6 lbs (I was also on my period at the beginning of the weigh-in...but let's pretend that's not real). Calli and I have been doing the diet for 5 days...so that's pretty awesome! 

Still praying to Jesus that I can lose 34 more before the wedding! It's going to be tough...but I truly think it's possible...especially because I'm going to do 2 GRIT sessions back to back!

Guess I should get out of bed and eat something. Aztec is already up and wondering why I am not doing the same!!! Dan is sleeping next to me though and it's hard to resist a hug! 

Starving

That's how I feel. Starving. Also, I would love to have a piece of mango...or a strawberry...someone give it to me right now!!! 

I'm off today and should be cleaning. But I'm not. I need to get it together. 

Conference call at 3pm. 

Calli and I decided to go to Body Combat tonight....

Well, some fun treasures happened. I ran out to her car and waved. Mistake. I fell right on my ass...and hurt the entire left side of my body...But this gets better...Calli comes to my rescue and falls too. Basically, the ice hates us!

We ventured to Body Combat and now we hurt even more! Haha. It's all worth r though. 

I made a very delicious GRIT-approved meal and I feel encouraged again. So I guess all and all, day 4 hasn't been too bad!

Oh, and the yummy meal I made: 

We're required to take a picture of all of our meals as proof that we're being good children and to encourage and support each other. This was my last meal of the day. It was chicken, broccoli, veggies and cauliflower "rice." 

Very filling. Very yummy. 

I also did my nails. You need to know about it. 

China Glaze Fairy Dust. A new favorite. 

Goodnight. GRIT at 6am!!! 

GRIT-official first day

Whoo! I hurt. Really bad. I'm a little shakey as I write this. Sorry. It was worse this time because I was already sore. It was all that I could do when I got home to take a shower. And I'm pretty sure there's still a little shampoo in my hair. I can't even care. Too much pain. There's no way around it. I have to try to sleep a little before work. Ugh. I hurt. It will all be worth it though. 

Was snowy today. They should have either closed the mall or at least had a delay of some sort...but ya know...

Anyway, I took a 4 hour nap from 6-10 and I think I might go to sleep for real pretty soon. I'm exhausted. 

I need to start getting to be earlier anyway because this 6am thing is going to literally kill me if I don't start sleeping more.    

Day 3 of the diet for Calli and me. It's been a rough day. I've felt hungry all day...so I don't think I'm doing it right? Or maybe I am and my body needs to adjust...maybe it's both. 

I'm sure you can tell how exhausted I am by the beautiful picture. Haha! 

Anyway, sleep time. 

GRIT!

Yesterday was the launch of GRIT and let me tell you...it was the hardest 30 mins of my life. Whoa! My body is still feeling it! And tomorrow at 6am, I'm doing it all over again...so much pain...but it's all going to be worth it! 

I can't wait! More details later. I'm exhausted and I'm going to sleep for a little bit. Haha. 

Grit your teeth and bare it!
