Monday Manjoyment! And Day 1 of 1KO21.

This is actually a bit of a dorky pose for a dude, but I'm not going to let it bother me. Hello Joshykins. ;-) 

You all feel FREE to nominate new Monday Manjoyment dudes- only I try to feature dudes that workout and have fitness on their mind, mkay? No wusses. 

I love how Josh always goes running with his woman and NOTE he actually wears his wedding ring! Sad how odd it is to see that. I digress. 

I'm back from LA after spending the majority of yesterday in the airport- our flight was delayed over an hour and that was annoying as heck. The whole time I was in LA I was rather technology/blogging-handicapped in that you JUST CANNOT DO WITH AN IPAD what we do with our PC or Laptops. I didn't think I would use a laptop anymore - whoa, was I wrong. I was left wanting and whining all weekend, like when you find a pair of fabulous shoes and they don't have your size and you want them SO badly you are actually tempted to buy the wrong size because they are THAT hot but then you know you shouldn't so that just pisses you off even MORE....WHAT? Oh digression again.

I have some FUN vlogs processing right now with me and my BFF Carla- from MizFitOnline.com. 

You will seriously enjoy them, we had such a good time. I also got to spend more one on one time with the most lovely and talented Valerie Waters, who is just a PEACH. I wuvs her so much. 

He is barkworthy for sure.

Anyway- I am definitely DEFINITELY going to see a physical therapist this week for my shoulder. It's pretty bad and pretty ANNOYING. So I'll update you on that later. I also have made a commitment to myself to focus really hard on MAKING THESE HABITS of mine that have not been habits-- back into ROCK SOLID HABITS. This is what is the missing ingredient for me people and I cannot NOT make this my priority, otherwise I'll just continue to be a fitness blogger who loves fitness and working out and getting fit, but puts it 4th place in her life because she's acting like a workaholic again. NO WAY. 

Josh is fitting it in. I need to fit him it in. So-- today is Day One of "1KO21" meaning-- the first of many KO21 challenges, where I focus on specific goals/habits to work on for 21 days. The goal is to make things a HABIT 100%. My working out was always a habit, it was never an issue fitting it in. I've allowed it to be an issue fitting it in and that has to change- and I'm not waiting to make a dang New Year's Resolution for it. Are YOU? When you figure out your mistakes, START NOW to fix them. I'm sharing this here because I have to be REALLY public about how serious I am. Carla is going to push me to get my workouts in every morning. Everything else can be addressed AFTER noon. Period.

I couldn't find many more yummy photos of our friend Josh-- but clearly he and his wife make fitness something that they do all the time. IT shows. I'm also going to get Carla do ok that I share my "interview" with her from LA. It was insightful to me in so many ways. You'll love hearing it too, I know it. 

Here is my vlog that I wanted to make public over the weekend, so it's from last week, but I'll put the vlog I shot today up- probably tomorrow morning. ;-)

Honestly, y'all. I think that making my fitness back into the habit that it used to be - is going to boost my results in a big way. I've been operating, realistically, at 50% for A LONG TIME NOW. My desire to do 100% has always been strong, and yea, I don't give up but it's time to OWN IT. Freaking sick of talking about it! My "diet" has really been pretty darn good. I'm not eating sporadically (although I am going to work on eating the smaller meals throughout the day, instead of allowing so much time between meals....) and I'm not eating "bad" foods at all. I think two key points are needed for me- get back to 6x a week no matter WHAT and then watching that eating after dinner. ;-)

Question of the Day: I'm stumped with some vegetable preparation- how do you like your veggies? In salads? cold? Hot? How do you make veggies? I love them but I'm soooo bored with steamed broccoli! It also makes my house smell like a** as well. 

Monday Manjoyment!

Awwww Bless His Heart. His Shirt Done Come RIGHT OFF!! hohohoho

(Martin, I'm guessing that this overwhelming Southern American slang talk might confuse you but don't worry!)

Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was WONDERFUL!! Every week is just becoming better and better- can you sense the excitement within the KO WORLD?? OMG I'm so serious! So awesome! I'm so psyched and amped and just feeling GOOD!! I can't remember feeling like this, having such total clarity of mind and of my vision and this feeling of knowing that I'M REALLY ON TRACK. This really is the beginning of a whole new chapter in my life and it is THRILLING.

Update: OMG!! Insanity, "The Asylum" is FINALLY HERE!! BOOYA!

You ready to get yours? Email me kellyolexa at gmail OR just CLICK HERE, then click on "Shop" and Insanity Asylum. 

Wait til you watch my Ramble-On-A-Thon vlog from my hotel room. I'd spent the better portion of today in the limo/airport/airplane/cab/hotel and when I remembered to order my dinner/lunch, it took a while....and then THEY SENT ME AN ENTIRE DANG PLATE OF FRENCH FRIES AND A WHOLE BASKET OF WARM SOURDOUGH BREAD ROLLS. 

What the......I mean, I almost chased that waitress down the hall and asked her if she was trying to ruin my MOJO. But --- I didn't. I channeled my inner Zen Diva and calmed down and said to myself, "This is NOTHING that can get in my way. I'm in control. Fries don't present a challenge to me. BREAD? Please. I am closer to owning my orange bikini in Miami every damn day, you think I'm gonna give you, WARM SOURDOUGH BREAD WITH HONEY BUTTER - a piece of MY time? I don't think so."

OH Wow. That's an oldie but goodie. Kids, this was when I was at Ohio State and my BFF Wendy and I would copy everything Ms. Janet did. We all wore all black, silver jewelry and that's when I started PERMING MY HAIR. That's  right. hehehe It worked back then. I can't lie- I would LOOOOVVVEE to have long curly hair. I've always wanted it. Ahhh well. We can't have it all, can we?

I am also NOT gonna lie kids. I am very much down with dudes in do-rags. OK? Don't lie and say if you saw Josh up there running toward you in that do-rag that you wouldn't fall down and hope he'd pick you up. Or somethin. 

Now I'm in an old school Janet Jackson mood:

If you haven't read her book that is out now, True You, you are missing out. It really helped me, in addition to these other books I've read recently, to realize I wasn't alone in that psycho-dieting-mindset and to finally shaking it OFF permanently. 

Psst. My BFF Wendy from High School- yea HIGH SCHOOL- is coming to visit me this weekend, so we'll have to see if I can get her to join me on a vlog. Wouldn't you like to hear secrets about my Nerd-Fest in High school?

Poor thing. He likes the Vikings. Well, I suppose he has to have SOME faults. But clearly Josh is into staying healthy- LOVE THAT. And love that he works out with his girl Fergie!

CUTENESS. Question of the Day: If you have a significant other, do you workout together or play it solo?

Monday Manjoyment!

Bless his heart. He needs some wardrobe help. *Ahem*

So many of us were gabbing about this yummy gem, and I'd featured him in recent pictures of Fergie jogging, so here is Josh for your Manolicious Monday. Take some time and consider Exhibit A. 

Moving along! Um, what's my stomach status? Can I just say DAYUM? I'm really sick of this crap. UGH! As of today, I have eaten some rice with pasta sauce, and a banana. So far nothing terrible. We'll see. The worst part about this issue kids is that there is no way to tell WHEN I'm better except for AFTER I haven't been sick. See what I'm saying? I don't know WHEN it is "safe" to eat normal food?? And I think I mentioned that the results NOW apparently take 5-7 days not the 48 hours I was originally told. WHATEVER. 

Gotta run because I have to pack for this week's trip- and I'm taking my workout gear with me! I'm DONE letting salmonella get in the way of my workouts HELLO!! 

I couldn't really find any footage on YouTube of Joshykins so please, for the sake of Monday Manjoyment, consider Mr. Statham below, who always delivers. Dear God, Thank you for creating Jason Statham. Love, Kelly

Question of the Day: What is your favorite ACTION movie? Me <-- Transporters (all), Bourne (all), Transformers, Wanted, and many more. 

This makes Josh even more cool that he is an avid workout fiend. AND that he wears his wedding ring is a bonus. Good boy Josh. 

Now, for your going-to-sleep-pleasure, here is some vloggy goodness. Amen.
