Ok so here goes! Well I’ve got my 20 year class reunion coming up next Saturday (which Brad really doesn’t want to go to but he’s coming!) and I really should have started this diet and work out plan a loooong time ago. So I thought of doing maybe some water fast or cleanse or crash diet but then I reconsidered because one: I really don’t care that much about what these people think of me and b: I don’t want to be a crabby mommy. I told my son the other day I was going to do the master cleanse and he said “oh is that the one you get really crabby on?” And I thought, you know I don’t think that’s worth it. So I’ve set my sights farther out to a trip brad and I have planned in two months. Anyway so a two month goal. I plan to try and lose those 10 lbs. I got on the scale today and I’m 146.4 lbs. I’m 5’8 (or was) because I think I’m shrinking. Anyway so goal is 136. That’s my sweet spot weight, but my body doesn’t like to get there these days! So while Brad counts his macros mama over here counts calories. Tried and true for me, what can I say. “It’s a simple equation”. I hate it when people say that because it does not feel simple at all!! Well I definitely do like to run but battle with knee issues. Today I ran 6 miles though. Tomorrow I’m sure I will pay. Hopefully I can run again in two days.
Ok then on a side note I just did a beauty mask that I love and want to tell you about. It is super exfoliating, skin tightening and brightening and best of all super CHEAP. I found it on the internet years ago. It’s called the Frappuccino mask. Ok so take a half cup of Greek yogurt, mix with 2 or 3 tablespoons of coffee grounds, a tablespoon of honey and like 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder. Mix it all up and paint on your face. This thing totally wakes you up because the coffee seeps into your skin, so I love to do it in the morning. Leave it on for like 20 minutes ish until it dries and then go into the shower and scrub it around. Make sure not to do this too hard but definitely target your T zone and try and really exfoliate your skin. You’ll definitely notice a difference in the tightness of your skin and jowls. So great. You have to try this one. I hope you like it.
