Its Wednesday: WHIP YOUR ASS INTO SHAPE

Errr, and by whip, I mean WHIP. Literally...leather, boots, the whole bit. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little. I took the Bodyworks Plus Abs class at the gym. I'd taken it before in the afternoon. Okay, halfway through I looked at Jamie, sweat pouring down both our faces, huffing and puffing, red, tired, about to puke and said "THIS IS NOT THE SAME CLASS." And then I fell over dead of a heart-attack foaming at the mouth.

Shit.

It was really freaking hard! I feel amazing right now, but I have a feeling tomorrow will bring other feelings. Like pain, and feelings of elation when I've figured out a new way to lower myself to the toilet, the bed, and/or pick up something off the floor. Oh the joy of getting back into a regimen.

I made a Mexican Casserole today. I used a really lean ground beef instead of the meatless crumbles, because hubs really, really hates those. (I couldn't find the recipe online, it was in this month's Cooking Light). He will eat turkey, beef, pork, fish, whatever... but he does not enjoy meatless crumbles.

We've been enjoying lots of fresh salads prepared by moi as well. I find that if I eat a big salad before dinner, I eat way less of the fattening part, and enjoy a normal human-sized portion... instead of my usual gorilla size. I think I may be on to something.

I love this inspiration board... so pretty:
