Unexpected Happiness

Sometimes good plans can go wrong. This is the story of one of my good plans, that ended up being a great realization.

Once upon a time, I was wandering through the Magic Land of Pinterest. In this wonderful magical land I found a quick recipe for some healthy frozen snacks. So, I bought the ingredients.

Fresh fruit and Greek yogurt

The plan was to lay the fruit out and spoon the yogurt over it. So, I did.

Next step was to freeze it. Once frozen, you'll have a fresh, frozen, healthy, bite-size treat!

However, did you know that frozen treats are hard to chew? And they might cause freeze-burn on your tongue?

I was distraught! I was disappointed! I needed saving from my well intentioned plans!

Enter my Prince Charming.... and his birthday gift for me.

(ummmm.... ignore the pizza boxes underneath)

My Prince (aka- my hubby) got this for an early birthday gift! Isn't he just the sweetest thing?

So, I popped those frozen treats into one of the cups, added some milk, and a scoop (or two) of vanilla ice cream and VOILA! It was F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!

You can find this magic blender of happiness at Walmart. It was about $20 and worth every penny!

I'll be visiting the Magic Land of Pinterest again, this time looking for smoothie recipes!

The Phat Girls vs. the Jolly Joggers

Melissa and I are avid walkers. And by 'avid' I mean that we have managed to pull our lazy rear ends out of bed at 6am to go walking- 3 days in a row! Being as this is the beginning of our summer vacation and we both have small children, this is no small feat!

So, imagine our surprise when this morning we ran- walked- into joggers. Not just any joggers either. These were superhuman joggers with the super power of talking. Talking! While jogging! Everyone knows this is physically impossible. Just look at Melissa and I. We can barely puff out 2 sentences together and we are merely walking.

If you're on Pinterest, you've seen this picture. It was linked to {THIS} website.

With this picture of runners/ joggers in my mind, imagine my surprise when the joggers we came across looked similar to Malibu Barbie and her sister Skipper. (only clothed)

Did this deter Melissa and I? NO!
Did this cause us to break down and cry uncontrollably? CERTAINLY NOT! (Well, not for very long)

If anything, this simply gave us the motivation we needed! We Phat Girls don't need to be perky and cheerful to be fit! A simple brush of our teeth, a decent sports bra, and some comfortable shoes are all we require! (And thank goodness for that. It would kill me to be perky in the morning)

So, TAKE THAT, Jolly Joggers! The Phat Girls will see you again tomorrow!

** On another note, I don't know if it's the endorphins talking, or just the righteous anger, but I swear my thighs didn't rub each other as much today! Progress!**
