Me too.

I suck. It's weird being 5 hours apart and having the same pitfalls.

I worked out really hard on Tuesday. It was nice, but I haven't been again.

This week will be better and I won't be such a slacker.

Contemplating going vegetarian. I'll keep you updated on that life change. Not quite sure, yet.

I Suck.

What a week. Thank God it's almost over. Work has sucked, I've only been to the gym once, and I've been alone every single night due to Mr. Perfect's busy rehearsal schedule this week. All of that on top of every girl's favorite time of the month, I'm at my breaking point. While I realize that the gym would've more than likely boosted my moods as opposed to worsening my situation this week, I've failed at getting my motivation up to the level necessary to get my ass in gear.


 I felt pretty good on Tuesday. I went and ran... alone... then I came back and watched the full two hours of The Biggest Loser... alone, but I was inspired. I was proud of my run and I love The Biggest Loser on any given week, but "Make-Over Week" is a personal fav. I thought this put my mind back to where it needed to be as far as will power or determination, alas here I am... night number two of no working out. Oh well. Chalk this week up for a loss on all accounts. Good news? Tomorrow's Friday. Thank God.

Pretty Proud!

We did it! We all went to the gym on Saturday morning with Mrs. Fitness herself! Bonus, Roxie came too! Mr. Perfect, his mother (Mrs. Fitness), Roxie and I all hit the gym hard... and I do mean hard... on Saturday morning. 


We were there for over two hours and kicked our own asses for every bit of that time. The good news? I didn't stop. I worked out as I always work out and apparently was pretty impressive. As Mr. Perfect is pretty much my trainer, he showed his mom that he was a damn good trainer on Saturday. She laughed and told her friends upon leaving the facilities that 'her baby kicked her ass.' This made me smile because now she knew how hard we were working on a regular basis. 

It was fun working out with Roxie, too. We had fun, right? It's so funny to me how the ways in which we enjoy one another's company have changed. From food and shopping to the gym... and shopping... and okay, still food, but better choices of food! It's so nice to find comfort in her encouragement and know that she's on the same page as I am in this fitness frenzy. 

We all had a good time, I think. I was proud that I could not only keep up but keep going for two plus hours of ass kicking. Of course, I was pretty pumped and confident after I got Mrs. Fitness' first reaction upon my arrival. I must say it's the first "God Dayummm!!! Girl, you've melted!!!" that I've ever gotten. I wanted to cry. But instead, I laughed, a lot. It was a great feeling hearing such a reaction from someone I'm always looking to impress again and again. 

All in all, nothing but positive on the fitness front. It's so nice to have exercise as such light in my life. Who knew that was possible?

Roxie Updates

If you haven't been keeping up with our fast move to Blogger and haven't had a chance to read my most recent post over at the Wordpress address, then here it is...sorry for the repetition if you have been that faithful!!

Since January 30th, I've lost a total of 14 pounds! Two months later, I am starting feel the difference and see the difference.

Consistency has been key and I didn’t even let the 3 pounds I gained back over Spring Break get me down!

I'm hoping to keep this a trend so, that I can meet my goal in May. We'll see!

I haven't been to the gym since Sunday because my schedule has been nothing but work and school, since I'm going home this weekend. Hopefully I can squeeze in something workout-like while I'm there to get rid of this urge to be active!

Have a Happy Weekend!

Classy Updates

We're back! ...and hopefully a little more active this go around. Sorry for the slacking. I guess I wasn't up for the task of two blogs at once! But I am now! Promise. Now that we have such a cute new page. Appearances matter you know. ha. 


Anyway, updates for me since the beginning of the first Lookin' Fine in '09 page, I'm down approximately 16 lbs. since the first of January. While I'm thrilled for this, I'm not done... not even close. I have developed a great love for running and sometimes even crave a good run to shake aggravation or a hard day. I never thought that running would ever be a hobby of mine, and especially not something I would have a desire to do more often! I love it! Other than that, I feel that I've kept you updated on all of my big accomplishments or excitement via Dancing Backwards, however this is the place where the rest of them will reside. Thus, the reason for this blog altogether! 

Currently, I'm awaiting a weekend trip home for the Easter holiday. I am very much looking forward to a reunion with my dear Roxie and my other SATC ladies tomorrow evening! Saturday morning on the other hand... Mr. Perfect has elected that he and I work out with his mother... the physical trainer... He swears she won't be able to keep up with all that we do, however, you can see how I'd be quite nervous. All I've ever wanted to do was impress her and with this new fitness kick, it's a completely new level of pressure. Not that she's one to judge or pressure in any way, but like I've said many times before, I put all the pressure on myself. You've learned how I am about getting the right reactions. You know, those that I crave. I'm a sucker for good attention. I think we all are. In any case, it should be interesting. She's always one that I look forward to seeing after a long period away... you know, the longer the time away, the more visible the results! We'll see I guess... Hopefully I can hang in there, and perhaps even impress her? Yeah... Wish me luck.

Welcome!!

While I'm sure that there will be more changes to come with the blog template, I hope you all feel welcome in our new space and we're sorry that we had to move! Wordpress, while fun and different, became difficult for us to use. We couldn't change our templates (to fun and exciting ones) without paying for that ability, so we've returned to our faithful blogger and hope that you all will still join us on our journey!

Bare With Us

Welcome to our new blog site, please bare with us as we're trying to modify and change this place to make it perfect!

The template's definitely not here to stay!
