Today is International Day of Happiness! The United Nations proclaimed March 20th as the International Day of Happiness with the intention of creating a happier and more fulfilled world. The idea was inspired by the country of Bhutan. They created Gross National Happiness and use it instead of the Gross National Product. In others words, the citizens of Bhutan believe that happiness and wellbeing should be placed ahead of money and stuff. Can you believe that! Awesome! Go Bhutan!! Join International Day of Happiness on March 20th and share something that makes you smile and brings you joy. It could be a photo, a joke, a kind word, or an inspirational quote. It doesn’t matter what it is, all that is important is that you spread some goodness on March 2oth. Participate and BE HAPPY!

only 30 minutes again today. It's the end of the 10 week again and we have a little graduation...but we worked hard Then I came home and did the abs challenge

5 morning everyone!

as I was scrolling down....I was going to write water...then I saw this. Chrispy and I are thinking alike today. :)

I have issues My tailbone literally is breaking down...from these situps. I felt it this morning when I was doing them..and then the soapy water sting confirmed it...ouch!! I need to do them on a pillow... :( day 14 complete. almost half way there. 1 more day then rest on Sunday...can't wait!

How can I just let you walk away just let you leave without a trace when I stand here taking every breath....with you....oooh you're the only one who really knew me...at all

-17 crush the bat before bed

love the lays cat....love how the remote control twitches every 10 seconds..lol

thank you tracey....I do admit I am very hard on myself. I have never in my adult life come so far in my fitness as I have and I am terrified of going back into any bad habits. I can easily go there as I have many times. Up and down, up and down on that scale...it's really really hard to find a balance of cutting myself some slack...and also staying vigilante. I can't quit. Quitting would hurt me more than finishing it...lol...I was just whining about it..I feel better now that I did it. I prefer to get it over with in the morning after my class...figure i'm already exhausted and sweaty. I don't like doing them at night. Oh..and I also added pushups cause my upper body strength still sucks considering i've been lifting weights day 13 done

Ugghhhhhh. I came here to make sure it wasn't still my day off. It's not. :( I was too cocky this morning....weighed less than I have in 2 months...I felt great...tummy was flat. I eat 2 cupcakes and a few other things at lunch and I feel like poop and now don't even feel like doing this at all. Funny how just one thing can snowball like that... Which is why I have to do it. But I'm not thrilled about it tonight. Not in the least...actually I'm pissed off I even started it. But I won't quit. Rant over. Time to just do it...like Nike says

Lmao!!

Tiff?????

lol!! nooooooo!! not the babs abs!!! anything but that!! I was thinking about going for a run tonight to counteract it.....but i think I would actually have to run 10 miles to burn it off...and that's not happening haha

absolutely! it was relatively easy. I only have a hand mixer...not a stand up one (not a baker lol) but that worked just fine. Also...if you taste the batter.....it's going to taste like guiness beer...dont' be concerned like I was...when it was cooked..it tasted like rich, moist chocolate cake. I didn't even taste the beer. http://www.familyfreshmeals.com/2012/03/guinness-chocolate-cupcake-with-baileys.html

roasted brussel sprouts...yum! I can't wait till jersey fresh veggies come out.........another month and it's Asparagus time! I swear I eat about 10 lbs a week of it. It's only in season for less than 2 months so I eat it constantly

half full...always! relaxed or straight leg (jeans)

I ate not 1 but 2 cupcakes today!! I had 1 for breakfast and one at lunch. I couldn't help it. The first one was planned...I made these awesome cupcakes for a birthday celebration at work. They all loved them so much...but I had to try one this morning before serving it to others..make sure not to embarrass myself. Turns out..they were so good I had another...could have skipped that one...but I just had to. I'm not a baker....so, i am extremely proud of myself. They were impressed and ate all 22 of them. :) They are dark chocolate guiness cupcakes with Baily's irish cream cheese icing. OMG

True TPBM enjoys sleeping later on weekends

Time to bump! Keep climbing....don't look down...just keep going..one day at a time :)

that's great....my best time is still 32 min 30 sec...I'm slow. haha I still need to do that donation for you guys...sorry!! Procrastination!
