Can't Give UP

By
So lastnight I posted on Facebook that I was losing my motivation to work out. It was Tuesday night and the last time I had pounded the pavement was on Saturday. It is Customer Service week at my job and we all eat horribly because it is all catered food each day. UGh ... Tuesday was Pollards Fried Chicken. OMG. Monday was Granby Street Pizza! I had 2 slices and 2 garlic knots! I'm horrible when it comes to temptation. To top it off I've been getting home late from work so I've been eating past 8:30 each night. Not good for my body ... I know this but I still choose to eat this late. I could do the right thing and bring something for me to eat at work on the nights that I work late. But alas, I'm lazy and I don't think of these things the night before.

I posted on Tuesday that I was loosing my motivation. I love my Facebook family because this is what they had to say to me:

Candi Ligutan - my apt has a small gym :)

Karyn Dupree - Run, Carly, Run! If you ever need a workout buddy...hit me up!! As a friend once posted to my feed: "Would you like me to tell you about motivation or do you just need keywords to google it?" I was at the gym that night....

Larni Caboteja - No you didn't mami...it's still there. Promise. You've done GREAT and look TERRIFIC. ♥ Oh yeah..."unlike" lol! :) go get'em!! I need to get RE-MOTIVATED and will start this weekend! Holler atcha girl if you wanna get up babe!

Kendra Ridley - you do look awesome lady!! you've still got your motivation. it's hiding in there somewhere.

Jake Baxter - Carly.. are you going to be my marathon buddy? Next summer? come on... whats your next race? I need to sign up for a race... come on dude.... Carly.. you need to get all tactical and shit on your enemy!!!!! Don't let em creep.

Adriana Carbonara - Hey, Carly, the motivation is IN you, you might just have to work a bit harder at digging it up sometimes, but KNOW it's there. I just found mine again after almost 5 years and I"m NOT letting go...ever! Can't wait to see you in February in Dallas :)

Gillian Luce - Gillian: You are doing terrific Carly, seriously. You are so consistent and such a strong person! You totally denied dessert at Bravo's the other night...that takes a LOT of strong will. You look fantastic and your determination and commitment to exercise is going to get you to your goal in no time!! "No pain, No gain....KNOW pain, KNOW gain!!"

To all my friends and supporters ... I love you and I can't do this without your support! I hate to lose and admit defeat! So this morning (Wed morning) I got up and did my 20 minute workout with Jillian Michaels (biggest loser) and I did a 1.25 mile run!

I do believe that one night of being a whiney poopie face ... got me into trouble and I hate to be in trouble. :)

True Biker Chick

I stopped by Farm Fresh on the way home, today. Of course, I was on my bike.  I've gotten pretty used to weird looks. A girl walking around with a helmet and an Icon chest protector ... most of the time, they are looking for whatever guy I MUST BE riding with. Standing in line with my shampoo and hairspray, I heard a lady behind me say, "What do you ride?" Now, people who don't ride will say, "What kind of bike do you have?" ... I've learned that other riders will ask "What do you ride?" I was tired, on my way home from a late day at work and hungry. I didn't have time for a chit chat about bikes. Not today. I didn't turn around all the way. I said over my shoulder "A Yamaha YZF 600r." The lady said "Oh, thats nice dear." Part of me was annoyed at her tone. Another part of me felt disappointed in myself. I would hate if someone ignored my grandmother like that. I swallowed my pride and turned around. She was...

Learning From Gabriel ...

By
I had rough morning with Gabriel. I let my 6yo get the better of me. I know he isn't a morning person, and neither am I. I went out of the routine this morning and let him watch cartoons BEFORE he was ready to go. (at the time it seemed like a good idea, don't judge). Time caught up to us and then it was a mad dash to get everything ready only to realize we were ahead of schedule. That just made me more upset ... that I was upset and I had no real reason to be. UGH. I left without hugging and kissing him goodbye. I made it to the highway before God told me I should call him and wish him a happy day. I called, apologized for fussing at him and I hoped he would have a great day. What he said next has been on my mind alllll morning. He said "We had a rough morning because you forgot to come into my room and pray with me last night. You have to remember to pray with me. When you pray with me, I have a good day the next day." I don't take Gabr...

Day 5

By
Day 5 has to be about my favorite memory. THIS IS SOOOOO HARD! I have such a wonderful and fullfilled life that for me to pick one wouldn't be very fair. I wanna say that my favorite memory has to be the day that D was born. I love my baby ... he is amazing and he saved my life. I've done everything I could to make him have a wonderful life (including marrying a white guy! LOL) ... He is my wonderful baby ... he has such a beautiful smile and he is the silliest of my children... He and I have been thru so much together! Even thru it all he loves me and I love him.
