Why hello there everyone. My goodness it's been a LOOONG time since I've been able to just sit on my... no cross that. It's been awhile since I've been able to sit on A COMPUTER and type out my thoughts.
Two weeks ago my life had a very unfortunate event occur that left me broken hearted and very frustrated. Our 6 month old computer's hard drive malfunctioned and we lost EVERYTHING. I know, I know... I should have backed everything up with our external hard drive. Sniff. Sniff. My bad I guess. Needless to say I was a basket case when Best Buy informed me that ALL my weight-loss pictures, my edited play, AND all of my children's photo's and video clips are GONE. GONE!!! :( Like I said. I am broken hearted.
That said this has been an absolutely HORRIBLE month for me and my weight-loss journey. I have had stress after stress bombard me every day for four weeks now and my waistline is suffering. How sad. Not so sad is my taste buds, however. My tongue has been singing a happy tune since the fudge and peppermint have taken up resisdence in my parent's home. MMM. I guess I might as well enjoy it for the next couple of days because starting January 1st I jump into my new regimine.
In the beginning of January I will begin training for my first triathlon. I will also start eating my regular meal plan again. Apparently I am a lady that thrives on structure. With out it I wigg out. I am excited to get back on the wagon and can't wait to see what this next year holds.
That said I want to wish everyone a merry Christmas and remind everyone that it's okay to mess up... as long as you get back in check quickly! :)
Love NIKKI

Pain... And Some Sweat
Grunting.
Sweat.
Pain.
Nausea.
Yelling.
More pain.
More yelling.
Salt.
Odor.
Water.
Tonight I had the best work out I've had in a long time. Purple faced and perhaps thinking something not quite appropriate I finished feeling on top of the World. I have never been able to finish all three rotations in our circuit style ninja ab class... but tonight I did. Tonight I fought with several slosh pipes, and old sail boat type ropes. I even fought with a large bouncy ball as I worked on my abs. But I came out on top.I fought and I achieved. Tonight I was NOT the fat girl at the gym. :)
Love Nikki!!!

A Day for Vegging Out
I am in a foul mood today. I'm not sure if it's because I haven't gotten a lot of sleep lately or if it's the life cycle that is spinning me out but geeze-la-weeze. I could just shoot a horse. Or perhaps become a tornado. That sounds more exciting then shooting a poor animal. Shame on me.
One of my biggest issues when I'm angry is I tend to VEG OUT! And no, not usually with vegetables. When I'm stressed I don't eat at all so my mental status is a little confused. Not usually a good thing for my metabolism.
I feel that Winter fat beginning to hug my wonderful love handles again. I guess today would be a great day to work out and burn my frustration along with some calories. I went to my ab class on Monday (it's been way too long!) and felt the "burn" for two days. Funny thing about that though, it wasn't in my core that I felt the burn. It was my thighs and bottom. Holy bottom I could barely move.
I think today I'll focus on my arms and core once again.
I hope you're all having a better week!
