It’s time to ‘fess up…
I really really wanted to participate in Heather’s MMAZ this week–Udon noodles!–but I really really didn’t want to put on pants and go to a grocery store. So I ate stir-fried cabbage with chopsticks. Close.

I woke up with Ludacris’s “Pimpin’ All over the World” stuck in my head. Where does my brain go while I’m sleeping?? (All over the world, apparently…)

I’ve been a bum in the kitchen. I have all these great recipes bookmarked, tons of ideas in my head…and then I eat out of a box for half my meals. (But seriously, why is shredded wheat so good? I mean, it’s just…shredded wheat…)

I will never (ever, ever) claim to like T. Swift. But when “Trouble” comes on during my morning commute, I yell along with the best of them. I say “yell,” because the noises that come out of my mouth are nothing like what the musically inclined would call “singing.”

I’ve been a bum in the gym. I’m going through the motions without pushing. But then I managed to bench 4 reps at my bodyweight yesterday (Huge accomplishment for me–rock on to you ladies who actually have bench-press power, but I won’t be a member of that club any time soon). Am I back at it? I need to be, that’s for sure.

Anything you need to get off your chest? (Like a heavy barbell?)
Haha! I’m totally listening to that song now. At work. The other day Usher’s “Yeah” came on the radio and I was like well, now how did I forget about this song for like five years?
(I love Tay Tay … do you hate me?)
I can live with it, but oh, don’t express that sentiment anywhere in Nashville! This city seems to despise her as a whole, for some weird reason, since we usually love our country stars.
Maybe Nashville despises her because she’s a yankee?
(I totally didn’t know that people still say “yankee” pejoratively until I started hanging out in Kentucky – blew my mind!)
Pimpin’ All Over The World hahah… that is now stuck in my head…!! I’m not a huge T. Swift fan either, but some of her songs are catchy!
Great song to have stuck in your head for sure
sometimes you need an off time in order to push even harder later on!!
hahahahahhaha omg I wake up with the most RANDOM songs in my head too, but that’s still hilarious. Also, WHOA you are fit! Even if you feel like you’re being a bum in the gym, you look fantastic!
I love that new Taylor Swift song and I admit that I’ve listened to it a few times during my runs last week :S Not a big fan of her though..
Stir fried cabbage 0.0 My grandma makes it but she cuts it into very small pieces I guess I’d have to get her to fry it in large strands because eating it with chopsticks sounds like a lot of fun!
I wish T. Swift would stop making such catchy songs! I really want to dislike her, but then I can’t change the station when her songs come on, I just have to yodel along! And I bet finer-chopped stir-fried cabbage would be extra-delicious! But then, yeah, chopsticks are just too much fun!
Hahah love that you are a Ludacris fan
! My confession: after my race yesterday (and breakfast out), I came home, showered and got into pjs…with full knowledge that I’d be stepping out again in a few hours! Comfort first, people!
Nothing wrong with middle of the day PJs!
Pants are such a barrier.
They really are! Although, stores DO only specify shirts and shoes, maybe I could’ve got away with running errands pants-less…
I sang your title out loud thinking I was Usher. yeah.
I’d like your arms, please and thank yoooou.
I’d like to just take a moment to get off my chest that I am feeling SUPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEER lazy today. hmph.
Fage! Yum!
Luda!!!
Life is better without pants, unless they are of the sweat variety.
Killer back girl, way to work it. And yes, I will never say I like T swift but that damn song makes me run so fast in the gym.
I’ve intentionally left it off my gym playlist, ’cause I’m sure I’d start dramatically singing along while lifting weights…as if I don’t get enough funny looks at the gym as-is
Girl–you are ripped! Great photo of those lovely muscles you have!
Those udon noodles look tasty!
Ah I totally need to admit to some slacking workouts. Good work on benching your weight- that is awesome! Haha and I would definitely say my “singing” should be called yelling too. Whatever, it works
Sounds and looks like you are crushing the gym more than you think. I think backs are such an aesthetically overlooked part of the body, so keep up the good work!
Why does T. swift have to be so damn catchy!?
Dang Allie, your back is looking awesome!!
Looks to me like your gym efforts are paying off if that photo is any indication. Maybe the muscles just look better with purple hair?!
Your back/shoulders/arms look AMAZING! I’m so envious of your amazing bod. You have really inspired me to hit those weights!
When you mentioned that Luda song, Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin’” immediately popped into my head. Love it! http://youtu.be/Cgoqrgc_0cM
Confession: I just sat here for a few minutes visually cutting a cabbage in my head until I figured out how you made ‘noodles.’ And now I want some. [Well, I want some, but my stomach is a little upset with the amount of cabbage I may or may not confess to have eaten yesterday...and then again at 2 in the morning. Hey, my late night snacks are weird.]
Well, you certainly LOOK incredible!! I would kill for your shoulders!
My confessions… I haven’t been working out, I just ate starbursts and some hershey’s kisses and I need to study but all I want to do is nap.
Woop looking good!
I’ve been quite lazy in the kitchen too recently, my lunches are always just made up of whatever I can put together!
I always get the weirdest songs in my head for no obvious reason, glad I’m not alone haha
I wouldn’t even have noticed those weren’t noodles. Seriously.
Damn son, benching your body weight? I bow down to your prowess. I might be able to bench the bar. MAYBE. I’m too scared to try.
