This blog is going to be pretty short because I did not have that much time use my Vitamix yesterday! Yesterday was a really exciting day! Not because had to sit in an Advanced Employment Law CLE all day (or that I'm back here today), but because +Vitamix retweeted me 3 times AND followed me! One of the retweets had the links to my blog. Because I love my Vitamix so much, I was ridiculously excited and felt like a 14 year old fan girl. And yes, I did take screen shots of my phone when the alerts popped up. Don't judge me!
Last night we used the chicken that we had marinated with the leftover wing sauce, and +Jimmy Ho stir fried the chicken with broccoli. It was pretty good. We used frozen broccoli, but I think it would have tasted better if we would have thrown in fresh broccoli at the end. Next time!
Everyone who knows Jimmy knows he is crazy when it comes to running. He has set a new goal for himself to run 10 miles every single day in March except for every Saturday or Sunday when he will run a half marathon (13.1 miles). Is that not insane?!?! I have no doubt that he can do it, but I am always surprised by him. Where does he get that willpower, and WHY in the world has it not rubbed off on me?!
Well, I'm setting a goal for myself too, and I'm putting it here so I have to be accountable to friends, family, and even strangers. I am going to walk/jog at least 1 mile 4 times a week every week in March. That may not sound like a lot to a lot of you, but I have never really committed to working out. I hate working out! I don't want to hate working out. I don't even mind if I never love it. I just don't want to hate it!!! Anyone who wants to take this on with me is welcome. My husband and most of my friends have ran marathons if not longer distances, and they are probably scoffing at me right now. Luckily they are still supportive of my small goals, and they get excited with me each time I tackle a tiny mountain.
I'm feeling better, and the scale is slowly going down. I have not weighed this week, but last week I had lost 5 lbs since getting my Vitamix. I have so far to go, but I'm going to celebrate every pound lost! Here's a pic I took this morning!
Haaaay! Have a great weekend!
great job on all accounts my friend! proud of you!
