Wifey Duties lead to Wifey Challenges

Hello Again,

I know last blog post I got to tell you a little bit about my summer expectations. They basically included the BEACH!

Well ever since I became so blessed to become a wife to my wonderful husband, there were a few talents I had to pick up. One of the biggest things was COOKING!! I have never been a super experienced cook and never really branched out in the kitchen. Well when you have a man in the house that likes his dinner and likes a full meal....You learn how to cook.

I have actually started to enjoy cooking. I love finding new recipes and trying new meals. YES I DO use recipes. As much as it would be cool for me to become an awesome cook that throws things together, that's just not going to happen. I will let others come up with the concoctions and I will just trust them :)

Some of Nic's favorites that I have done are Apple Chicken Stir Fry, Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi, I have found an awesome baked Mac & Cheese we love, and many many more.

I know it sounds good right? Well it has sounded a little too good and now I have the pounds to prove it :) I have gained 10 pounds since the wedding! As I aimed to treat my husband with good food I also treated myself to a little pooch. Anyways anyways anyways I still feel great and am FAR from fat but there's something lingering in my mind...SUMMERTIME!!

I am going to the beach in 15 days and will be there for 12 days. I have already been working out and have already lost 4 pounds (YAY)! But my workouts have been sporadic. I am now going on a 15 DAY CHALLENGE!! I am going to work out every day for the next 15 days! And I actually have already worked out the last 4 days in a row so it will really be 19 days.

If you know me you know I hate working out so I figured I would set myself up for a little challenge to get me motivated. And after many health pep talks from my healthy work out loving husband I have realized that its not about the pounds but about toning the muscle. So I am throwing the last 6 pounds out the window. If I loose them (GREAT!!!) If I don't then that's okay too because I am turning my little pooch into rock hard abs (haha okay maybe I am a little too ambitious :))

But pray for me! I am actually excited which is good for me! I will keep you updated, have a great TUESDAY!!!

Love you all,

Kira Cardwell aka Work Out Queen :)
