Thank You Tatum

I think Monday just crotch-kicked everyone that walked in the door today.
There were more breakdowns, outbursts, and vents than I've heard in a while, and not going to lie it was a long day for me too.  I had every intention of getting in bed early, but that did not happen as planned.  One night of poor sleep will screw up the next 3, and before I know it I'm trying to sneak 20 second naps on the mat while simultaneously demonstrating ab exercises.  Yes, I was tired.

I honestly have no real excuse except that I stayed up late on Saturday night.  However, after seeing Magic Mike I was pretty much wide awake.  I like to think that when they were trying to come up with a catchy beginning to get audiences engaged, after rounds of suggestions, one guy pops up with the genius idea of telling Channing Tatum to take his pants off.  And there you have the perfect beginning.  Its no Snow White fairytale, but if the dwarfs looked like that, no shot that tramp would have gone into a coma.
Worth every bit of $9.50.
I would have paid 10.

Speaking of money, I was talking with a client today about the cost of eating healthy.  I hear all the time, "It just costs way too much to eat healthy."  First of all, nice try, poor excuse...because truth is that it is not as expensive as people may think.  Yes, if you buy retail organic items the cost will increase, but not everything needs to be organic.  Seriously.  Making a few changes will save you more in the long run.  I eat 6 meals a day and all my meals cost me under $1.50 each...that's roughly 9 dollars a day.  THE WHOLE DAY.  Many people blow that at lunch in 30 minutes.  Give me a break.  Do yourself a favor, take the time to pack a lunch/snacks and take charge of your health.  You'll actually save money in the long run...

Its almost after 9 and a pan of salmon residue is staring at me.  Ugh...washing dishes is for the birds...and anyone seeking to be remotely sanitary.  Eh,...some days I question this madness.
It was short and sweet tonight.
Here's to a loooong Monday and the Tuesday that awaits.  Night!

Sticky Keys

7am and I am sweating all over the computer.
Either this coffee lit an unbelievable fire in me or I just hit menopause at 29.  Seriously, I am sticking to the keys...

I've got about 45 minutes before I hit some cardio and perhaps I'm just delaying the laundry that needs to be folded upstairs.  I despise folding laundry.  Thus, I try to hang everything in the closet.  I'd hang my underwear if I thought it wouldn't look creepy.  But it would.  So I don't.
Its just one of those things where, if something happened to me and people came to my house to clean out my stuff, I wouldn't want them staring at my color-coordinated-thongs hanging beside my Nike section trying to figure out the severity of my OCD.  I'd rather leave some things a mystery.

Well, its been a long week and I can't seem to break this exhausted feeling.
I've honestly woken up the last 3 days beyond tired and just cannot seem to shake it.  I think my body is ready for some much needed vacation.  Only a few more weeks and then I'll be soaking up the sun on the beach with the fam.  First full week get-away vacation in 2 years....I seriously may not know what to do with myself.
You might find me down the beach running some sort of make shift bootcamp in my swimsuit at 7am.  Ridiculous.

I had a very cool meeting with a woman yesterday about possibly co-authoring a book.  She's basically been to hell and back with her health in the last 3 years and through a rough experience found that eating natural and incorporating exercise saved her life.  Imagine that.  Her story is truly remarkable, and to hear someone so passionately want to share it with others and encourage good health is inspiring.  Because honestly, I hear more of "well we all have to die of something, so I might as well die happy with the foods I want"....what crap.  So you're basing your happiness on what you put in your mouth and pass out your rear later?  Yeah, that makes sense.
I am excited to work on this project with her, and really think she has something here.  And truly, if it reaches just a handful of folks and changes their lives, that's a great accomplishment.
Very cool.

Ok, cardio time.  Being that its not 105 degrees out, I might actually go for a jog.  Holy moly, now I'm getting ambitious...
Have a lovely weekend folks and here's to good health!!
