Squats! Squats! Squats!

I've seen soOoOo many "Squat Challenges" lately and I'm definitely up for the challenge! 
However, all the challenges I was finding were going by day of the month. 
So I took to my handy dandy Google pal and found one that I like better. Plus this one has a well-squatted tushy you can use as motivation :)


I also love that this one started at 50 squats because it just so happens I did 50 yesterday so I already get to advance to 5 extra squats. Go me! Except you know how you usually feel that terrible muscle pain about two days after your workout...yea....nope...feelin' it today...and BAD! I can barely walk right now. I'm basically slowly sashaying down the office hallways :/
But....it's the BEST feeling to "walk" and feel all those muscles I just worked to death hurting with every step I take. It's like "Hi, I'm hidden thigh muscle you never knew existed until now".

IMPORTANT:::Make sure you do your squats the right way. Take a look at this girl's blog...and where I learned the proper way to squatski right...here! Pretty interesting huh...squat like a baby? WhoOoda Thunk?!

Anyways...get ya squat on!

Glazed regret

There they are.
Just sitting there.


And they are the one and only type of donut I like...GLAZED!
I swear someone around the office is trying to sabotage my weight loss goal.
This little "gift" of random junk food appears in the office at least once a week to tease me!
One day...I know I will be able to ignore them. 
But until then...this is pretty much how it goes:

I walk in the break room kitchen, 
The "gift" box is taped shut.
I grab what I came in the kitchen for and leave.
I come back a little later,
the box is now open.
I peek inside.
UCK..EW..donuts!
But damn...they look so...glazey.
NO KYLEE...that's like 300 calories you don't need!
Stay on track you fatty!
Well, I could work it off in the gym tonight.
But then that leaves 300 other calories I could burn instead...damn.
I touch one.
I grab it.
Oh well, I'll burn 300 calories just from breast-feeding today.
I eat it.
Shiiiiiit....damnit Kylee...it wasn't even that good!

Moral of this random story? I'm really trying to work on my self control because I always find an excuse to give myself something I really want! However, I know I want this awesome body I'm envisioning MORE....so one day I'll learn! <3
