Can't wait ladies, only 2 more days and we will be sipping drinks pool side!! MUAH

Such a great start to the week!!!!

I am pumped ladies!!! Determined, and sooo excited to be doing this with all of you!

OK Yesterday:

lunch - Toppers salad, that wasn't very good so I didn't eat it all =( Water
snack - 100 Cal. granola bar

Got home and got busy, fed the dogs, played with them a little, picked up my recycling and picked up the house a little... I mention all this because it is being active that I think is helping us too... SO Laura.... you keep saying you haven't exercised very much, BUT you haven't been just sitting on your butt.. Packing and moving you are doing a lot... so don't discount that. =)

Ok so then got changed and went to work. Did the 45 min Cardio X!!! OMG sweated like a dog, it was sick... Then did 1/2 of the AB Ripper X... it's been like 3 weeks since I last did it so I didn't make it past the mid part. No worries tho, by week end I will be all over it again. I was soooo sweaty and felt sooo good about getting the work out in. Had to share that news with my girls.

Dinner - went to this place called Viva La Pasta in Moorpark with the BFF and Aunt. It was sooooooo good! Very nice place, ladies we must go there after our Vegas vacation. I wasn't to bad either... Had a small ceaser salad, at least 2 pieces of fRESH baked bread, then had the chicken angel hair pasta with sun dried tomatos and tomato sauce... better then cream sauce for me. And one glass of Pinot Grigo. Also had a few bites of chocolate cake...But then stayed up until 11PM so I am thinking I gave my body a good amount of time to burn it off instead of straitght to bed! =)

So I planned to get up this morning and work out ... but my work ou today is Plyo... I want to do that in the evening, so I slept this AM.

I weighed in this morning at 120.2 Not trying to loose the weight but maintain under 125. so not bad right now. I didnt get a chance to measure but I will today. At least my wasit and thighs!

This morning:
Breakfast - coffee w/ skinny non fat creamer (so proud of myself), cottage cheese and a few garlic triskets

lunch - brought Tuna made w/ low fat mayo & reg. mayo on 1 piece of wheat bread

Dinner - plan to make some ranchera with a salad so nothing to heavy before my big work out

Snacks will be a granola bar and water.

We are doing this ladies!!!! Have a good day everyone.

I'm BACK!!!!

Ok got back in... Not sure what the heck is going on but I will make this happen. Gonna copy and paste what I wrote in the email a bit...


BUT for a brief update to own up to my SUCKY-NESS... =) I didn't work out ONE day last week. I needed a break. BUT I did eat very good and actually from MON- SAT... eating good, I lost 3lbs. BUT I was on the go a lot running all around and staying up LATE... like 12:30 every night so that gave my body time to work off food too. so maybe that was it! But today is back to the plan.... I am suppose to be on Week 3 of Phase 3 but I am going to RE-DO week 2 and go for the gusto again.... 8 1/2 weeks... not a long time but WE can all DO THIS!!!

Yesterday I will own up to my splurging....
Breakfast - Hozy's pancakes, bacon, & eggs w/ WATER
Lunch - Protein Shake, movie popcorn - then Lazy Dog Shrimp Tacos and edamane
Dinner - since lunch was so late, I didn't actually eat dinner but had dessert Oreos w/ milk =) as my last hooray for the week of bad eating. =)

So the plan for today: Brkfst - coffee w/ creamer & 3/4 cup of oatmeal with some brown sugar.

Lunch - Nick just called and is brining Aliyah down so I can go to lunch with her (we are doing on week with me one week with him for the summer. =( VERY hard to be w/o her. ) Not sure where we are going yet, but she wanted to go to the place with the BIG fork and tomato on it (Toppers) the other day so maybe I will take her there and I will get a salad! =)

I am so thankful that I have you ladies to help motivate me. I am sooo excited for our trip and can't wait to just chill and DRINK!!! Ok so I will update tomorrow for sure! MUAH

P90X

Woo Hoo! WOW started off with a bang! I have to say that the P90X is hardcore! The ab workout kicked my arse and although I was "beginner" status it still felt good to do something and still feel the burn! And I know the more we do this the better I'll get. Ang you were a freakin' ROCKSTAR and Laura you are WAY more in shape than you give yourself credit for...you kicked butt!

I have to say that while I am very determined to lose the weight & get in shape and be healthy I learned my lesson...NO GYM right before P90X! LOL

Working out together is not only motivating but fun. We get to hang out and gossip and laugh while getting in shape! I'm so excited to be starting this with you ladies!

Can't wait til next week and I'm totally looking forward to being the hottest chicks to ever hit Vegas!

XOXO
