Most of the time when I work out I feel like this.
Healthy pasta

Pasta dinner gone low cal! 25 calories,gluten free and great source of fiber! Made from tofu and konjac flour and is ready in 3minutes! Rinse,drain and warm up. Best pasta alternative ever. Each serving of pasta slim saves 200 calories compared to regular pasta~ the equivalent of a 30min workout!
Find it at whole foods!
Ummm this is awesome. Because I have a pasta addiction and this will help me. A. Lot.

“Alright here I am! By myself, but here for kickboxing because I need to lose weight. Okay good. The class is pretty full. No one will be paying any attention to me. Here we go! We’re starting! Oh gosh instructor is going off about how she’s been sick. Great, now I’m going to get that flu everyone is worried about. And we’re jabbing, and we’re punching, and we’re upper-cutting. This isnt so bad. Gosh I love this song playing right now! IT IS PUMPING ME UP!! My punches are going right along to the beat. I feel alive! This is just like dance class. I mean, you couldnt do this class if you didnt have rhythm that’s for sure.
JAB JAB PUNCH PUNCH. Oh god now we’re kicking. Front and back. Front and back. Ooooooo Niki Minaj’s Starships just came on. Now THIS is a song I can kickbox to! This is the most fun I’ve had in a long time! I can totally do this. Even though I havent worked out in months, I’m totally keeping up!!
Oh crap. It’s only been 15 mins?? Feels like at least 45. Oh gosh now we’re dropping to the floor. Some crazy push up thing I can’t do because it’s too fast. We’re moving too fast! JAB JAB Punch DROP. JAB JAB Punch Drop. Well I look like a fool. Definitely dont think I’m doing that move right. I don’t even know what’s happening anymore. My legs are moving, my arms are moving but not the same way the instructor’s are. Please god don’t let anyone be watching me. I am hot mess right now. I can’t breathe. It’s so hot in here!! The guy next to me is totally judging me because I cant keep up. He’s definitely gay though. I feel no sexual vibes coming from him at all. Good. Glad he’s gay. Judge away all you want boy!
Okay now I’m really just hopping back and forth from foot to foot and punching my arms around. What is the instructor even doing? Are these even moves?? I feel like she’s all over the place. How in the world am I supposed to KNOW what she’s doing if I can only see the back of her body??! Oh crap. 5 more minutes of class left and she says we’re doing two finales. What the heck are two finales?? I’m dying. Literally dying. Sweat keeps dripping down my face! Can’t wipe it away fast enough to still hit the punches correctly. Oh! The whole class is cheering and clapping. We’re done! We’re done!! Good God I made it!! I survived!! That wasn’t so bad.
I can totally do that again next week….”

So i got a gym membership last night at 24 Hour Fitness and I’m excited to go work out after work.
I have completely let myself go this holiday season and I’m ready to start getting more active and lose about 20lbs. Well..that’s my goal. I’d be happy with 15lbs.
I’m hoping I just magically turn into one of those gym rats that just loves going to the gym. And goes almost every day. Yup..that’ll be me. And I’ll have a hot body by this summer and before my high school 10 year reunion.
Holla!

The office right now, during the holidays, is jammed packed with good food. Imagine having over 100 clients and almost all of them give some kind of gift basket to the office. It is out of control! We’ll pretty much have goodies until March.
Today my boss walked around passing out mini chocolate chip cupcakes. And they tasted like HEAVEN. Seriously…way better than Sprinkles cupcakes. I had two. 
Then within 5 minutes he walked around again with another fresh box of pastries and I had this cinnamon soft cookie filled with some kind of amazing cream. It was epic. Orgasm in my mouth!
If you’ve seen me lately and you’ve thought to yourself “oh boy…Tess has put on a few lbs.” Well this is why. Holidays at the office!! Gah!! See you at the gym January 1st with all the other millions of people.

So I feel a little like Brendan for posting this but it was just so yummy I had to.
Tonight I made this for dinner – A Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It was a recipe I had found on pinterest. I bought everything from Trader Jos (so freaking easy I don’t even know why I’m telling you how to make it, it’s obvious lol)
But you just put olive oil on the outer parts of the bread, place on pan, then spread the pesto sauce, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, toast both sides and- Bam! Delicious.
