I'm Thinkin' Vegas, Baby!

Approximately 11 weeks, 3 days and 2 hours from now [not that I'm counting or anything...] I'm dropping off the kids with my sister and heading to Las Vegas for a long weekend with my husband. It's going to be a trip for our 5 year anniversary, although we are going a couple months late. Also, I'm meeting up with some of the most fabulous women I know while we are there. This trip has the potential to be epic. 4 days and 3 nights of fun. ADULT fun. I am pretty sure my husband and I are way overdue for this.

We are going to have a goooood time.....

You know what I would LOVE to be 11 weeks? Twenty pounds lighter, that's what. And it's totally do-able. I mean, it's do-able even according to healthy standards. It's time to go balls to the wall, people. I need to go big or go home. It really seems to be how I work best anyways. I've noticed I'm quite the all or nothing type of girl. [why does that sound dirty?]

I know the past few weeks have been nothing but a whiney cry-fest on this blog, and I thank you all for sticking with us.  We've truly been a couple emo cows as of late.  However, there will be no more of that. It's time to get back to basics and accomplish some goals. So today it's business as usual. [kinda] I'm headed to the gym, I'm eating right and most importantly, I have the right attitude back in place. Never, never, NEVER underestimate the things you can accomplish with the correct frame of mind.

Not really on topic, but OMG, so funny.

Tomorrow we will be back with Fat Stats, as per the [used to be] usual. I might have to post them if Muffin Top doesn't have interwebs at her new house yet, but it WILL be done.

Happy Monday, everyone! Get out and get your exercise on. Let's start this week out right.

I Got A Go Wear Fit... And I've Fallen In Love With It.

Better get this out of the way... No one from the Go Wear Fit company or Body Media or anyone else for that matter is paying me to talk about this. I mean, c'mon. Our blog has like, fifty readers max? Trust me when I say NO ONE would pay us for this.

That said, I'm in lurve with a piece of technology, and you guys need to know about it. I want to marry and have little Go Wear Fit babies with it. I've only had it for five days, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to live without it again. For those of you not in the know, a Go Wear Fit is a little device you wear on your arm. While you go about your business, it measures everything your body is doing for you. Heart rate, steps taken, temperature, etc. Hell, it even measures your sleep efficiency!!!! This thing is freaking amazing. And better than all that, it plugs all the information into easily readable graphs, as well as letting you plug in your food intake!! Genius. Pure, freaking genius.

Behold.... The magic maker....

I've been coveting it ever since I started reading the Body By Pizza blog [because I want anything Rachel has, natch], but I don't think I realized how WAY useful that sucker is. Today is a prime example of the epic usefulness. Due to some SERIOUSLY poor food choices, I'm already 1911 calories in at 4:00pm. Well have no fear, dieting friends. My handy dandy GWF [that's Go Wear Fit, for all of you not into acronyms] will help me out. I will work out tonight until I burn enough calories to make up for it. I WILL achieve my 1000 calorie deficit. And I also will not eat dinner. [That's kind of a given, right?] Not that I'd even be hungry anyways. I'm sporting quite the food baby from my never ending pasta bowl.

I totes need this shirt today!!!!

To add to the recent GWF fun, Muffin Top and I decided to do a little competition. Stay tuned on Monday for that. Whoever burns the most calories, has the biggest deficit AND has the most logged exercise time will win a prize, or something. I'm always game for a little healthy competition. And there is no cheating, because the numbers don't lie, my friends!!!!

I hope you all have a fan-freaking-tabulous, calorie burning weekend!!! We'll see you Monday and show you all the results!!
