Sacred Numbers, Halfway & Da'Bowls

This morning I woke up with numbers on the brain. Secret, sacred numbers.  My secret and sacred numbers. These special numbers are sacred to most women... Some will even go as far as to stretch the facts, conceal the reality and lie (don't worry, I don't keep anything from Chica) about said numbers. And right now, I am about to expose them to you...  

Bella's Not-So-Secret Sacred Numbers

Height: 5'2"

Weight: 142.8

Waist: 31.25

Hips: 37.5

Bum: 39.25 

Thighs: 23

Biceps: 11.5

In the spirit of honesty and transparency I will admit that I was pretty f-ing disappointed with my weight this morning.  What is it about women and the obsession with that magic weight number?  My hubs can see my body changing, other people can see my "weight loss", my clothes are fitting better and even I can see myself transforming when I sneak a look in the mirror.  Yet, here I am, frustrated with what the scale said this morning.  

Quizas, the scale is conspiring against me...Quizas...


Tomorrow Chica and I have a run.  This run will officially mark the halfway point in our couch to 5K training program.  It requires us to run for 20 minutes straight.  I keep saying over and over again that Chica and I will rock this, actually I know we will rock this. I know, know, know we can do this!  And still I am a tad nervous. Nervous for me.  I don't want to disappoint anyone.  So I start to tell myself, again, again and again, I. Can. Do. This!!!! 

A couple of weeks ago, Chica and I, agreed that setting up a reward for a short term goal could help with the motivation as we inch our way towards our long term goal of running a half-marathon.  Hmmmm...rewards...what to get, what to buy, where to go...think...think...think... Then out of no where like a sign from the cosmos above, we knew, and that is where Da'Bowls Açaí Shop came in.  A fairly new açaí bowl shop owned by some local surfers.  These heavenly bowls are full of fruit, homemade granola and honey and this shop prides itself in using organic and local ingredients.  Chica hasn't tried them yet, but I promise her and you that they are fantastic! Fantabulous! Extraterrific! Fabulicious! Wonderstacular!

So, tomorrow we face our training program mid-point challenge and the reward is being able to say we kicked its ass...

and a big yummy bowl of açaí!

On that note I bid you goodnight, gonna join the hubs for movie night en la Casa Bella!

Love&Hugs,
Bella
