Dear Thirsty Thursdays
I need/want a drink. Ive drank a lot of water today... woke up and did some arm work and yoga moves along with push ups and a ton of sit ups. My abs hurt especially when I dance game like I did tonight. See how good I've been? Dont you think I deserve a nice delicious beer!? Oh you saw the snacks I inhaled when I got home.... well no I don't have a good explanation for that... you saw me eye ball the leftover birthday cake? well yeah but I didn't eat it(yet)! But TT the NFL draft is on and I have some time to WALK(yes walk not drive... win win) to the bar so I can have 1 beer watch some football and intimidate all the boys and girls down at the bar! FINE Ill just shower and drink more water....
Your a jerk TT... a JERK.

April Day 20
Happy April 20th everyone!
I bet you thought I was going to refer to todays ACTUAL "day" right? O.K well fine I will... HAPPY FRIDAY!
Lets see my updates for myself...
Started kicking the diet and weight loss into gear (feeling sorry for yourself is so last year.. or month.. whatever)
Had my friend yell at me Saturday at the bar that I better not fall off the wagon and he WILL NOT LET ME.(thanks chromes!)
Surprised myself by jogging last Saturday for about 20-25 minutes!
Have been eating very awesomely all week and taking better care of myself mentally and physically!
I found out my allergy eyes that have been TERRIBLE were given a clean bill of health and I am not given permission to treat these as I see fit.
I fit amazingly into a size 16 skirt with room when Ive been a size 18 for most of my years.
Im on a site My Fitness Pal ( hi everyone on there!!!!) and have talked to some AMAZING people with amazing stories and amazing inspiration and support. Seriously I WANT to do better and chart it on there so I can get a " good job" or something moving. Tracking my calories, workout and talking to people with similar goals this is honestly great.
Oh and did I mention its my birthday this Monday?.... Yup.
Jenny has been taking a lot better care of herself too in kicking total ass with the diet ALL week, working out still and running with her friend Katie and making sure not to over drink and get to be as early as possible. Its actually a great thing shes doing AND shes been kicking more ass then she realizes! WAY TO INSPIRE LADY! way to inspire.
This weekend we plan on going to a Brazillian Dance party(hopefully pictures to follow!) and dance our faces off ALL night long.
I know everyone misses my recipes and pictures so Ill make sure to keep this more updated.
XOXO G&J

April Day 3
Ok so here it goes.
What sucks.... being dumped when you are kicking such ass at working out and being strong about life and its direction.
what doesn't suck... remember your not working out for them AND if you are maybe that was your problem in the first place?
Anyways life is short and not worth spending it with someone who doesn't want to spend it with you OR not worth stuck worrying about things out of you control. So instead lets TAKE control of what we can and laugh as loud as possible at what we cant!
Thanks to my co workers for telling me every day how you can really tell i've lost weight, thanks to Jenny(which yes this is me and her Blog BUT still) for keeping me on track and us being on the same page about most things in our lives, thanks to my family for moral support, my belt for starting big and NOW not fitting and to some new friends giving me some added inspiration motivation AND confidence.
Now... have you heard enough womp womps in this post? Don't get used to it. Apparently once a month I have a heart but now that i've gotten that out of my system be prepared for more delicious meals and chubby girl updates!

March Day 3.
http://www.mappedometer.com/?maproute=71531
I hope that map actually comes up. I needed to go to the grocery store and since I was dumped while starting my workout plan this year Im trying hard not to fall off the wagon and do comfort eating. So walking to the grocery store it is! Although I did go and had to buy tostito chips(baked!) which is literally 1/4 of the fat and calories of regular tortilla chips. I came home and made some nachos which were delicious and no not a ton. Anyways the comfort eating is getting really hard. I hope march is a better month than February was. Happy Saturday people.

Distance 1.9437 miles all around our town. Jenny and I kind of rocked yesterday... just sayin. Anyways its almost the end of the month and being realistic and not having lost site of the big picture I do not believe to be making my goal. Im still going to work like I am going to make it BUT Im not seeing this happen. Jenny is close to! So so close to making hers. Frustration settling in and allergies coming out. This is going to be a long week.

Day 22 (february)
Dear Blog
Im sorry I have deprived you. Its been a hard week in the lives of Gina and Jenny so this blog wasn't (but should have been) key to helping us stay focused. Jennys been cooking these delicious meals for her lunch with Kale, Tofu and Rice and inspired me to do the same(but with spinach instead of Kale). Jenny's a great cook and essentially she helps inspire me to cook delicious things! (pictures to come later once my email stops hating me). Incase you were wondering yes thats firm tofu with canola oil sprayed on the pan so it wont stick, roasted red pepper flakes, garlic and lemon pepper. NO SALT ADDED!
ANYWAYS Today I decided to do Billy Blanks Tae Bo Cardio! It was fun and slightly different than the dance game. I also do my calisthenics daily but like to add some sort of cardio on top of that! Lately its been dancing since thats easy and fun too BUT after doing it so much honestly it got easy and that to me is boring! So lets give dancing a break and start adding in some new work outs. woohoo!!!
Also Happy Ash Wednesday for all you religious and non religious out there! Although I may not go to church as much as my mother would like I do believe in Lent and the meaning behind it/power behind it. My lent I am actually going to give up extra salt. It was something I wanted to give up for the month of February BUT honestly I had some troubles with that. This month Jenny and I have been trying to kick some tail but slowly kicking tail. Its frustrating but we wont give in or up.
Maybe tomorrow Ill tell you about my new favorite class called Barre.

Feb Day 12..
So happy valentines ( WEEKEND) to all you lovers and haters out there.
I have decided that both Jenny and My boyfriend are both bad influences on us when it comes to food. I have thought long and hard about this decision and I think I'm right. They are so cute and sweet that we want to make them happy and feed them as a natural instinct! Oh you don't want grapes you say? You want spaghetti meatballs and garlic bread? SURE!! Oh you want a cheesesteak? Pizza? Burrito? Of course ill go with and get something so your not eating alone when we are on a quasi date! But lets be real... tomorrow starts a new morning, day, and food schedule for us. Once you fall off of a horse( or wagon) your supposed to get right back on right!?
Anyways I managed to snap a few flicks of my food to show how bad I was but seriously explain how delicious this was. Carmens Pizza (click this link to go to the site) is seriously DELICIOUS!! They are right outside of the lovely city of Philadelphia so the parking isn't terrible nor is the traffic. They have a little eat in area that has the old school pizzeria charm to it and honestly there is usually a table for you as soon as you come in. Despite the open seating in a small area they are bus-y! You will see many of people walk in and out of there because everyone who knows about Carmen's knows how good this food is. Now Ive only HEARD that the regular pizza and cheesesteaks and foods are good but I stick to the Vegan Menu. They are also Gluten free friendly too for those who ask and have a separate menu for this. We split a pizza and then got sandwiches ourselves.
Anyways calories calories calories BUT probably the more healthier places to eat pizza and cheese steaks at least for me. I had a blast hanging out with my main squeeze eating bad foods when just earlier we had been walking and working out to prepare for such an occasion.
So because Valentines day is coming up in a few days and well I know I wont be seeing Ian on Tuesday since we live states away I wanted to say thanks for putting up with my crankyness brattyness rudeness and all around crabbyness due to lack of french fries in my life. I'm also super proud your doing this right along side with me!
Ill let Jenny write her own to hers :)
Vegan cheese pizza(daiya cheese) and whole wheat crust with organiz sauce).Vegan pizza steak with seiten (fake meat) and fake cheese (daiya cheese) and regular roll.
YUM!!!
