I'm sitting here with my coffee (shocker)
...Actually, it is sorta shocking. I am drinking the Wild Maine blueberry k-cup, and it's actually quite nice.
Don't knock it until you're 26 weeks into a prep and desperate, you might actually like it, too.
This is the sorta thing I resort to when I'm craving a muffin.
That and jello, of the sugar-free variety.
So let's talk prep.
My favorites and my least favorites, and things that aren't actually "preppy" but requires a great deal of strength and/or self control.
Like this evening when I got off the bus and literally was running at a 45 degree angle against the violent wind and rain.
Maybe I'm exaggerating a tiny bit, but I'm pretty sure that trudge through the downpour torched at least ten calories.
Also, can we applaud my ability to not dig in all of my co-workers personal belongings hunting down their goodies? And I quote: "Emma, do you know whose back pack this is? There is literally the biggest bag of peanut m&ms I have ever seen in there?"
Ahem, are you asking me, because you want to see me change form into a ravenous beast? Because I just might for some peanut m&ms.
MY FAVS:
Lateral raises (#teamshoulders)
Waking up lean (#wherecaniorderasixpack)
Barbell Squats (#missnewbooty)
Bicep Curls (#curlsforgirls)
Refeed Days (#potatoes)
MY LEASTS:
Low Carb Day (#bitchmode)
200 Lunges (#dammitdarin)
Cardio (#stopstealingmygains)
The Inability to Stay Awake for Everyday life (#Idlovetohangoutbutiliterallycannotfunctionsono)
No Ice Cream (#whatdoyoumeanthisdoesntfitmyprep)
Obviously, I'm hashtaging everything, because it's obnoxious. But also realistic. If you have me on instagram, you get my reference.
I'm one of those girls, yup. Haha. #noshameinmygame
I also want to open the floor for questions! I have been getting so much positive feedback from these posts (THANK YOU <3) And I want to be able to reach out to as many of you as I can! Please don't hesitate to e-mail me any questions! Who knows, I may or may not have a way to turn your question into a witty blogpost ;)
STAY FIT, FRIENDS <3
#lol - Hashtags are the best- they really are ridiculous but fun :) I share a lot of the same likes and dislikes for prep that you do.... although the 200 lunges would be in my "favs" pile- mostly because I am a masochist of sorts... I mean really? Aren't all bodybuilders? As usual, love your honest and to the point posts! I will admit I check in once a day for updates! haha. #teamemma - I have a question!! As a personal trainer: do you find it hard to do what you love, while also having to do it for work?
ReplyDeleteI love this! Haha, and you're exactly right, we all are masochists... We should start a club. Haha.
DeleteI try to post once a day! I'm going to write up a fun one tonight once I get off of work :)
And to answer your question, no! I love my clients, and I thrive from them. I push them hard in the gym everyday, and I use that to motivate me. I tell them that I will never expect anything from them that I wouldn't do. So if I want 110% of their effort, I make sure I give my workout the same respect. :)
That's a really great rule to live by. You are setting the example for those of us who look up to you - amazeballs! I am sure you clients thrive from their time with you as well.
DeleteAnd sign me right up to the Masochist Club :)
