I am apparently the “woman’s ideal”. I can see that. She still looks better than I do, in my opinion. But I should be happy that I am what I am, while still working on becoming my own ideal.

I want that back, that waist, that tush, those shoulders, those thighs. Mostly, I want that tush.

I want her body so I feel comfortable getting a tattoo where she has hers and one other on my hip.

Haven't Blogged Here In Forever.

But I need to today.

I’ve thought about it almost every day. To be a little fair, I kind of slowed down on updating my last blog too. But this one, this one I’ve completely neglected.

And it’s not just the blog, that would be acceptable at least. I haven’t gone to the gym. I haven’t worked out. I haven’t logged my food. I’ve been so lazy with that stuff.

I’ve maintained for the most part. But literally right as I was seeing progress, life got in the way, distracting me, and I chose the easy way out. I chose to stop sacrificing my time and energy.

I started working a few months ago and since my schedule is never the same week to week, I don’t have a gym routine like I did when I wasn’t working. Going to the gym was my job. And it was starting to show.

Last night I had a dream I had two jobs. Maybe one of those should be going back and loving myself again.

I woke up motivated to go to a spin class this morning that I use to go to since I’m back to working the afternoons, this week. I was up before my alarm, I checked the schedule, and of course, they no longer offer that class at that time.

Most of the classes I would go to on a Monday are at night. I’ve done yoga once there, but I can go to that class when I get off of work. I’m afraid that by the time I get out of work I will have lost my motivation, but I can’t let that happen…

I need to use this week to make a plan for when I work early and for when I work late, and I need to stick with it, even when life doesn’t want me to.

So I’m going to blog today because I need to.

Recipe for Zucchini Cakes at Life’s Ambrosia

Makes: 8 cakes

You will need:

1 large zucchni grated, excess water removed (Note: To do this, after you grate the zucchini, put the grated zucchini into paper towels and squeeze to release the water)

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup panko bread crumbs

sprinkle of ground nutmeg, about 1/8 teaspoon (Note: If you add too much it can quickly take over the taste, less is more)

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Combine all ingredients, except olive oil, in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Using a heaping tablespoon form the mixture into 8 patties.

HEY!!!! So, this is Kate from "headupfinishstrong" and I created a tumblr! I never really thought I would create another blog, but I'm on other people's tumblr so often I figured I might as well!

Any tips for a tumblr newbie? Any people you would suggest I follow?

Can't wait to get used to this whole thing!!

Hey Kate! I’m sorry it took long to get back to you. I don’t usually blog on the weekends! Tumblr took me a few days to get use to, but honestly it’s pretty great. So many of my posts end up flashing in my head as I’m at the gym so it does end up providing great motivation.

I’d still love to share tips and experiences. As a matter of fact, shortly I’m going to go to your blog & put something in your ask :)

Hi, there =) It's nice to see someone my age (or near it) on here. Just thought I'd say hi and let you know I have followed you. <3

Thank you for the follow :)
