Ben and I saw Julie and Julia last night. I liked it! I normally only like trashy comedies like The Hangover and the timeless classics like Tommy Boy. But, we both really enjoyed it. Maybe it was because I saw some of myself in Julie? And it made Ben happy to know that I am “normal for a blogger” and he’s not the only husband who has a blogger wife 🙂
We started the date with Thai food. I ate a bunch of watermelon before we left so I didn’t think I was hungry, but I ended up eating a lot! Ben got a some interesting curry with shrimp and avocado.
I ordered a side of spicy veggies since I haven’t been eating enough lately! This was a rip-off for $10.00. Not worth it.
I also got Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp. This is totally not something I would normally order since it’s fried and just a big bowl of white rice, but it’s what I wanted. I am really trying to listen to what my body is craving and ignore the Food Police, but it’s hard. And this ended up being a bad pick because I wasn’t full after eating this?! WTF.
After the movie I wanted ice cream, but everything was closed. So, I went back home to raid our fridge. I had ice cream with granola and 2 chocolate chip cookies – this was not necessary but it happens.
Push-ups Challenge
This morning I did the initial test for the 100 Push-ups Challenge**, 100 Squats Challenge and 100 Sit-ups Challenge.
Today I was just supposed to see how many of each I could do and what category I should start the exercises in. I fell into the “suck” category. But, in six weeks I should be able to do 100 push-ups! **I am doing Girl-Style push-ups because I have a vagine (va-zheen).And because I’m lazy with strength training, so this is already asking a lot.
Ben and I are doing the Challenge together for the next six weeks. I’ll update ya as we go!
Happy Sunday, eat some breakfast 🙂
even though you fall into the “suck” category (your word NOT MINE!) it’s amazing how strong you can feel after the challenge. i did the pushup one over the summer and, although i doubled up some of the weeks, i felt so good after i did the 100! woot! and good luck!
2 things for you my dear:
1) Ice cream munchies later at night do happen…but they are so beautiful. 🙂
2) You make me really want to try the pushups, squats, and situps challenge. I am getting ready to go read more about them. Are you doing them all at once? Will that be too hard for a weakling like me? I kinda want to jump on the challenge train with you! And we could hold each other accountable and document it on the bloggies. ??? What do you think?
