Slim-derella

How cute of a nickname is that?  A lady at work has started calling me Slim-derella everytime she see me. I just love it :0)

A friend on Facebook wrote on my wall the other day, this is what she said:



Carla, i havent everr read your blogs til just recently when we got internet back. lol I was using my phone for internet. lol but anyways i just wanted to tell you that you look greatt!!! lol. i am so proud of you. i dont think i could ever have the strength and motivation to do what your doing. and ur blog is so open about everything. i didnt realize how hard it must have been to start that and keep up with it. u should be very proud of urself. but i just wanted to say that i noticed wat u were doing and how good u look. lol. ur blogs are very inspiring. keep it up.

It is always an awesome feeling when someone says they are proud of you and acknowledges all of your hard work! Makes all of the struggling, hard work, and sacrifices worth it! Everyday I hear something positive and I can not help but have a GREAT day and a smile on my face!

My neighbor Kim went to the gym with me last night. It is always nice having a gym buddy and someone to hold you accountable for your workouts! I must say, I had a very productive work out last night. My thighs and booty are on fire and so sore today! It was a night of cardio and squats!!

A little blury, but you get the general idea!

35 minutes on the treadmill last night. 358 calories burned. 1.70 miles!

SQUATS! Why must they be so darn painfull? So effective, but my Lord so painfull. The saying NO PAIN NO GAIN .. Yea it came to life when people discovered squats. And squats with a medicine ball... go ahead and shoot me now!!!

OUCH! That is all  I am going to say. I love them, I really do. I enjoy the burning, it lets me know something it going on, and there WILL be results.... I just also hate, hate, hate them and like to bitch a little bit about them as well!
