(I found this on Pinterest, but it did not have a link)
Around 11:30, I was ready for lunch. I headed to the kitchen, which isn’t far from my “new” office, and warmed up some leftover Chili Gumbo.
I forgot to take a picture, but it looked similar to this.
After my hearty chili, I was craving something sweet. I ALMOST went for the Chocolate Cookie Bars, that I made the other day, but instead grabbed an Orange.
After snacking on my orange, I looked behind me and seen this moving our way.
Me and Ginny started to get a little worried… Oopie could have cared less!
I did not put the pillow there by the way. WORTHLESS!!
The storm turned out to just be a lot of rain. It didn’t stop Ginny from running and hiding!
Dinner came together in no time. The shrimp and veggies were finished right as the pasta was done. Perfect timing!
Big plates of pasta, like this, could explain why I haven’t lost any weight. I’ve been working out for about 2 months now. We go to the gym 4 times a week, sometimes more. I’m not even concerned with the numbers because I know when you workout your body builds muscle and “Muscle weighs more that fat”. I get it, but the only place I’m noticing a difference is in my arms (I actually have some definition.) Everything else is the same. I’m not toning up anywhere else!
I’m not getting bigger either… Bright side!
This is me. I’ve been working out for 2 months. I should be tone and look like this…

And in my fantasy, I’m also very tan!!
I do not eat to bad minus beer (and that’s not changing). I think my problem is I’m stationary through the day for work and blogging.
I decided today, I have to increase my cardio. We do cardio before strength training, but I’m half assing it.
So why not start today, right? Before dinner, I took Ginny for a 20 minute run (Well we were gone for 20 minutes). Huck was busy with work, so we didn’t go to the gym. I have a guest pass with him, and I can only go if he goes. And I was not about to go to our neighborhood gym! We went yesterday and it smells like something died! We walked in and quickly walked right back out and went to LA.
I looked at the class schedule, and want to try some a group classes, too. I can workout and maybe make a friend.
Well that’s What I Ate Wednesday and a rant. I hope you enjoyed!
Oh next week, Life Food and Beer will be hosting its first giveaway. Make sure you follow me on Facebook and Twitter to see what it will be!

That’s what made me want to start working out. I was sitting at my desk all day. I started having back pain from sitting so much! LA Fitness has Zumba too. I’ve watched some of the class. I like the Total Body Plus Abs class. No crazy moves but it will kick your butt!

I count calories, in my head, most days. I started counting religiously 3 years ago and still do it. My calories are OK most days. I always make bad food choices when we go out to eat, and I consume to much beer, but I did that before and wasn’t gaining weight. I’m going to increase the cardio and see if it helps. I’m not giving up my beer and greasy cheeseburgers anytime soon:)

I love carbs too! I’m trying to replace carbs with grains like barley and quinoa a few nights a week to help. And I wish I anything but pale. I’m scared of skin cancer so I avoid the sun without sun screen as much as possible.
