"Show me a man with both feet on the ground and I'll show you a man who can't get his pants on." -Joe Lewis

Happy Wednesday! I don't know about you, but this week is flying by for me. We are 46 days out from the wedding and I think I'm at the point where time will start flying by. I have a thousand things to do! Do you ever feel like work gets in the way of what you actually need to do? But you need work to pay for the things you need to get done? Ahh, the catch 22 of being an adult.

Anyway, Wednesday is often referred to as "hump day." We are getting over the middle hump of the week! I generally think it's kind of a stupid phrase, as most people just use it to be crass, but today, I am totally celebrating this term.

Last week, in this blog entry, I told you about a pair of pants that aren't my favorite but that I took a potential confidence-busting risk to try on and they fit. Well friends, the pants fairy has struck my closet again because it happened again! If you haven't caught it yet, I'm happy the pants fit over the "hump" of my hips on hump day! See what I did there?

Like the blue-gray pair last week, these pants aren't my favorite. They are brown I've had them forever... since back when brown was trendy <<cough, 2008, cough>>. But again, I don't have a lot of diversity in my pants and I *really* don't want to invest money on new clothes if I'm not at my weight goal yet. So, I'll settle for the nostalgia of 5 years ago when I had a disposable income to buy tons of clothes.
I kind of dig the quote I used for the title. I mean, I get the actual meaning of it, but I like my version of it a little better... if you don't move, you won't be able to fit into your pants! My cousin's wife posted a great meme on facebook the other day....I've posted it here today. It's so true! You have to watch what you eat in order to lose weight, but to get fit you have to get to the gym and MOVE. There's really no way around this. There is no get thin quick scheme that will actually work. On Pinterest, I've seen this hot photo of a girl's stomach that is totally ripped and "her" morning workout that got her there. It's a circuit combo of burpees, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, etc. Friends... no. That won't work! I mean, certainly do that, but don't expect a stomach you can eat off of. It's a combination of what you eat and what you do. Doing ten minutes of work every morning won't get you there.

Today is cardio day at the gym... as you all know it's my favorite (not). But last week, I totally rocked cardio day and I plan to do the same this week, if not better. And, if I can't watch Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on The Food Network, I will be listening to music. What music, you ask? My Humps, of course!

Make it a great day!
