Eventful day today!
Our morning plans didn't go exactly as, well, planned. Jessica decided at 6:00 that she'd rather wake up at 7:00. I'm not one to turn down an extra hour of sleep, so I jumped back into bed (she literally texted me as my alarm went off and I was putting on pants).
At 7:00, she elected to skip our workout ("It's the Sabbath day...") so I figured Jillian Michaels can wait another day or two before she kicks my butt into submission. I let Jessica have her sabbath day sleep, but I got cracking on articles. I started drafting a post for my personal creating blog (actually, two posts), reorganized the categories (it needed to be done months ago but I just didn't have the will to do so), and worked on drafting an ultimate guide to social media strategy, which should be submitted as a guest post pretty soon.
I took a short trip around the neighborhood while Jessica went and ran errands, and then I attempted to watch Age of Adaline again. I love Blake Lively, and I love that movie, but I could not bring myself to focus for long. I ended up making myself lunch, and then Jessica came home shortly after.
Cue workouts!
We did two workouts (both for abs) and filmed both of them. For science. It was painfully awkward and we both kind of realized how much work we have to do on our exercise, but we made it through (kind of). We also did a couple sets of a booty workout and a squat challenge. My. thighs. are. on. fire.
Jessica took a break for her afternoon personal development reading, so I sat down and got cracking on a video. Surprisingly enough, I got enough usable footage to create an actual video! And there were weird comedic parts (because us), and it happened to make the perfect channel trailer! Success!
I figured having a finished video would be the perfect chance to create the Get Two Fit Facebook page (yeah, I've been slacking, I know), so I whipped one up really quick. Turns out it's pretty easy when you know what you're actually trying to accomplish, have a logo and a usable-ish banner, and have set up like a bajillion pages already.
We went out to dinner (which may have been a mistake, but we're calling Sundays our going-out day, now). While out, we went ahead and did invites to our page from both of our friends lists. We launched our Facebook page literally 6 hours ago and it's already almost at 100 Likes (we went from 79 to 85 in the 20 minutes I spent writing this post). I am AMAZED at the turnout we've had so far. It's incredible! And kind of totally unexpected!
Finally, we ended the evening with some beers (for a job well done) and an hour-long swim (to burn off the beers).
My arms, thighs, and abs are killing me, but I'm starting to feel really satisfied (and much less terrified) than I was on Thursday (or even yesterday). I can't believe that this has only been my life for 48 hours - I feel like I've already accomplished so much in such a short period of time (and had so much fun). I'm excited to see what tomorrow, this week, and maybe most important the next couple months have in store for me.
I can't wait to have a success story to tell.
For the record, here's what I ate today:
- Spaghetti (just under 1/2 a pound, with a very small amount of sauce)
- An apple with peanut butter (of course)
- Herbalife meal replacement shake
- One beer (Sam Adams lager - it was free so the calories don't "count" right?)
- A bacon cheeseburger with fries, plus chips and queso (AMAZING!!!)
I know half of this is terrible, but even my cheat day is an improvement over how I've been eating for most of my life (including this past year).
