Fun Fridays
Have you missed me? I know, I've been a bit MIA this week. Sorry but I've been so busy eating vegetables and working out that I haven't had time to blog. I made myself a promise that I would start eating healthier as a sort of detox after the holidays and get back into my workout routine. No, it's not a new year's resolution. It's not a diet and I barely break a sweat at the gym. I mean, It's hard to run and watch Paula Deen at the same time. 

On the plus side, I haven't had any sugar in two weeks! Well, besides the half of a Krispy Kreme donut I ate yesterday. You know that shit takes will power. Who can only eat a HALF a Krispy Kreme. Me, that's who.

I've decided that I'm not gonna go all gung ho and deprive myself, this whole healthy eating thing is gonna take baby steps but it really helps that I have some awesome motivation here on the blogs. I could hire Neely to cook for me and make me green monster shakes in the morning and I could hire Caroline to be my trainer. This chick went to Jazzercize 200 times last year! (Yeah, I went to the gym about half that.) Not to mention all the inspiring and amazing runners I follow. Have you heard of C25K? It's the Couch to 5K Program and is so intriguing that I may have to jump on that bandwagon.

Enough link love. I'm gonna hit the gym until my legs look this fierce.


Happy Friday y'all!! 

Oh, and if you enjoyed my dialect vlog, and some of the other girls that participated, stay tuned because a Vlog of the Month Club has been organized!! Head over to sign up or add a topic! 
Thanks to Kelly and Hannah for brainstorming and coming up with it.

J and A said...

Good for you! have a great weekend! :)

megan said...

I want to look like Carrie Underwood. And kudos to you for going. I can't get my lazy arse to go. I get home and it's all over from there. I need to motivate myself to go straight from work.

Lauren said...

Good for you for no sugar for 2 weeks! Have a great weekeend!

Layla said...

Wherever did you find a pic of my legs? Hahahahaha.....oh, how I wish. No sugar for 2 weeks is freaking awesome! I'm seriously addicted to sugar. Like, seriously addicted. I hate it. :( I need to get off my butt and check out that couch to 5k link.

Sara Pierce said...

YAY Friday! I've given you a Stylish Blogger Award lovely lady!

Anni said...

Sugar is my enemy. Sugar and egg rolls. Not together, I promise.

Good for you for making the change gradually! That's the only way I can ever get it to stick. Besides, total deprivation is no fun. When you do it the right way, it doesn't even feel like you're depriving yourself.

steph c said...

You are awesome for not having (almost) any sugar.. I simply couldn't do it. No lies.

Also.. I trying walking/running on the treadmill yesterday while "reading" a Rachael Ray magazine. Not advisable.

Erika Grover said...

Holy nice legs!

I've signed up to the vlog club and I might be posting my dialect vlog this weekend.

jacin {lovely little details} said...

i asked my trainer what i had to do to look like carrie underwood and this was his response (haha)

Hmm, well here's what the details are. She's listed at: 5'3" 108lbs-119lbs. I'm assuming she's 108lbs since she's the skinniest she's been. Here's the thing. Theres only two things you can do to change the way your body looks. Gain muscle, lose fat. That's it. Since I don't think you need to gain any muscle in your legs to look like that (her legs are pretty skinny), you're just going to have to lose more fat. That was blunt :) So again, when you set your overall goal, don't set a number, set an image. Because you'll most likely need to weigh a lot less, and lose a lot more than you thought to look like you want.
When I was 265lbs I thought if I got down to about 215lbs I'd looked ripped. Nope, I got down to 177lbs before I was as ripped as I wanted. You got this, it starts with you making the workouts 4x/week this month :)

Nicole said...

It's so crazy you talk about this... I found a blog this AM where the gal lost 50+lbs in 12 months. If you want her blog, lemme know, I can send it your way. It's a touching story.

Hilary Lane said...

Carrie Underwood is my body idol!! And how in the world have you gone two weeks? I'm on day 5 & I'm about to gnaw off my own arm if someone will just give me some flipping sugar!

Mrs. Adventure said...

Ugh those legs jealous! I need a sugar detox big time - I guess the best time to start is now right?

:+) I Hope you have an awesome weekend girlee!

Dancy said...

HAH! Yeah, I'm pretty sure I didn't even THINK about the gym 200 times. LOL

Jessica said...

OMG does Carrie Underwood not have the BEST legs EVER?!? And wow, you're pretty much my hero for going 2 weeks with no sugar!

Christina said...

I really want to start eating healthier ASAP. I weighed in 7 pounds heavier than I did in June for our wedding. Doesn't seem like a lot, but I def. notice it.

Can't wait for VOTMC!

Kristin - Mrs. Glasses said...

Holy shit, you haven't had sugar in 2 weeks!?!? I just had sugar an hour ago and I already want more. You have CRAZY willpower; teach me oh wise one!

EmilyB said...

Carrie is a freak of nature and probably has ZERO fun in her life when it comes to food. I'm sure she's a peach to be around, hungry all the time. HOWEVER, I'm happy for you that you're taking your health seriously :) You have awesome willpower and no sugar in 2 weeks isn't something I could ever do. You go, gal!

Krysten @ After 'I Do' said...

I think I would die if I had no sugar for 2 weeks lol.

Tanya (a Taste of T) said...

I have! Welcome back :)

Candace said...

She does have some amazing legs. Sheesh!
Good for you on eating healthy and working out!

Tiffany said...

I've always been jealous of Carrie Underwoods legs!!!
