3. run at least 3.5 miles after work. Totally due able as long as I don't stop to talk to my friends hubby. =) lol CK
I was totally happy with my run on Wed. I was feeling better on the run still a little heavy feeling and took me a bit to get going but I got out there... wasn't sure if I was going to make it cause it was already 5:17 when I got out there and it got dark fast. =( no bueno and won't do that again, especially after those dumb kids rob two people on Central when I was out running... ggeeszzooo

Thursday recap - kept the good eating didn't work out but did go on a 1 mile walk during my break.

Friday recap - kept the good eating up again... didn't go CRAZY at bunco had a sandwich and a few chips, and well some Sangria, but none of that was crazy bad. No working out again, but I did go on a walk on my break, 1 mile.

Saturday recap - Woke up early and got outside... went on a 3.5 mile run! Way excited cause I was wanting to just sleep in. BUT NO GOT MY BOOTY UP. Got home, had a protein shake for breakfast.... lunch was yummy VEGGIE pizza, a few nacho cheese chips at skating... then had a great cardio Skating work out!!! two work outs in one day, can't complain. Had a yummy cupcake and 2 small glasses of wine for Lylia's party... then later, had dinner at wood ranch, this is where I went over my calorie limit for the day... I had a 1/2 of a tri tip, some not all of th mashed potato's, like 5 buffalo wings =) see we were talking about them earlier so I was craving them. Then later that night I probably had a whole bottle of wine. lol GOOD NIGHT!

Sunday recap - egg whites and cheese and turkey sausage made at home for breakfast. Lunch and dinner, was a Turkey, avocado, provolone cheese, bacon sandwich on wheat. It was big so I ate it at lunch at bingo, then the other 1/2 at dinner for bingo. =) and water water water.

LADIES... where are you??? Vegas is 6 months away!!! WOW that sounds close. =) I can't wait.. you ladies are the bestest and I love you all so much... Thanks for everything and motivating me every part of the way.
Gotta get to my meeting now... hope to hear from you all soon.... MUAH

Confessing.... I'm back... but first Confessing

First and foremost, I love this blog... I love that we are all soooo trying to help motivate one another to keep us healthy and happy and in good spirits...

NOW for my confessions... I guess I decided to take break... ??? Not sure why, but I for some reason after my 1/2 marathon, I felt like.. oh I need to eat. =) lol Silly huh...I don't think I have fluctuated to much on the actual weight number... but the inches has definitely changed =( which is the ugliest part for me. Well the number has changed too...

Ok so I can't recap the past 15 days... so I just give a brief summary.

I was doing great with my work outs and food intake... I was ready to go for the 1/2 marathon. I did really awesome in the run... I ran the 13.1 miles in 2:17hrs. My goal was 2 hrs flat, but I got really close. Side note - I had to stop to pee, and had to wait in line for 5 minutes (i timed it) so really my time was a little less. I was/am super proud of myself... I felt really good the whole time. I am still debating on signing up for the LA Marathon again... It really is sooooo exciting to be part of a great event.... And to be honest... Jenny, your moms fight makes me want to do it even more. Monies raised goes to all sorts of non-profits, and I am sure one or tow of them are for Cancer Research!! Every little bit helps.

Since the Marathon, I haven't worked out... have been SUPER lazy, but also SUPER busy.... The following week was a short week for me at work since we had Veterans Day off, but also it was my PC party... so we ate very good that night. =) Then that weekend we headed off to Disneyland on Friday. We were there until Monday. So... when I thought I was going to be REALLY bad with the eating, I wasn't too bad. =) Plus we walked around the park on both Sat. & Sun from 7AM -10PM =) LONG DAYS...sooooo that has to count for some sort of exercise... PLUS I was wearing my Reebok Tone Ups!!! =)

The time change is great, and makes it feel like the holidays... BUT sucks for my running. It is to dark for me to run after I get home by myself, so I am stuck... LADIES, Wanna start running? =) Seriously????

Reality ck: Today I went to put on a pair of Bebe jeans... that I LOVE and fit into perfectly say 6 months ago.... IT was tough for me to put them on and couldn't get them to button if my life depended on it. YES they are very much JEAN, with not much give... but really to not fit me at allllll =(.

GOAL FROM THIS POINT:
I want to get back on the work out wagon. AT least 3-4 times a week. I have a treadmill, to run in the back, not my fav. way to run but it will work those nights I can't go outside and run.
I am going to get back on drinking water, water, water... most of the time if we eat out, that isn't a problem drinking water, but it is during the day lately that I have been struggling... funny how the mind works, cause if I don't have a water bottle at my desk, I just don't drink water... stupid huh? =) lol I am back on to drinking at least 3 liters a day.
Eating, I want to start making NEW meals... Still going to follow the P90X plan but really want to find some new dinner ideas. I want/going to start taking my lunch more. That will not only help my waste line, but my pocket book.
Logging & Blogging - I was doing really good at logging my food intake and exercise activ. and blogging at least 3 times a week.... Back on track. I am looking back at Oct. when I was being bad ass with my logging... and seeing my exercise... looked great! =) Gonna start doing that again to make myself be accountable.

I will be weighing in on Sunday... yuck. =( Gotta face the ugly truth.

Thank you everyone for liking my cheerleading, and making me feel like I have been a great motivator for you all... I want to keep it going, sorry I have sucked for a bit. =) BUT I AM BACK!!!

Today:
Had to be in extra early... so no coffee yet =( debating on if I should run to Starbucks but really do I need the xtra calories and the xtra spending?
Breakfast - 3 eggs with ham and motz cheese... had to make something that Aliyah could take to go since she was riding with Tina this morning =) (T, Tina your sisters friend... love her)
Lunch - 1/2 ham sandwich not sure what else I will have with it.
dinner - it's not decided yet... another night, just Aliyah and I...
Work out - PLANNING ON RUNNING OR WALKING A BIT on the treadmill.. =)

This weekend, I had planned to Rod out to dinner for his bday (I tried to make it a group thing but he said he wanted it to be just the two of us... ha don't get any ideas) BUT that idea got squashed since they are working Friday night... Then again reporting in the EARLY AM like 3-4 AM on Sunday morning...
Sat. we will be spending the day at the football field. Rod's nephews play in the Banams Superbowl at 9AM... WAIT... T, does that mean you will be there too? Then Moy plays for the J1's Superbowl at 1PM. BIG Deal so we will be there all day! Gonna try and get some Christmas shopping in, but not eating all the holiday yummies out!! =) ok maybe one. =) lol

I miss my girls... no bunco this month =( no Fillmore game for me.. =( Wed. night at the Morales house I am going to make soon, hopefully the guys will be home one of these darn nights. =)

TTYS!!!!

Bunco was definitely ONE of the most FUN Night EVER!!! And even though there was some bad eating on my part, I think 1/2 of it was burned off that night from laughing so darn hard!!! I could totally feel my stomach hurting from laughing so much. Truly we have the best group of girlfriends!!!

Saturday I plan to go on a run in the EARLY AM before Aliyah's game, shooting for 6 miles. I only have 2 weeks until my 1/2 marathon and need to get some running in since this week hasn't been an option to run with the rain!

Sunday we have Aliyahs school Fiesta, so I will be walking around all day, lifting, bending doing all sorts of physical activity, that will be a good day and good way to end the week.

I was watching Thintervention with Jackie Warner on Bravo (LOVE HER... loved her old show about the celeb gym) and she was teaching her clients to eat every 3 hrs... helps to burn fat. I have a reminder on my phone for 3 hrs after I eat a meal already set for my snack for the next 90 days!!! NO messin around here... I want this... I want this...

I really wanted to go for a run last night but Aliyah begged me to do a puzzle with her instead. =) how could I say no? =) I should have gotten up and done a work out video but didn't do that either... =) sooo on tonights agenda, either running or a work out video. I think Running will be the choice. I started yesterday but going to be gong-ho starting Monday since that is the rythm of the work out plan!!!

Laura how was your first day??? Ok ladies lets get back on track!!! WE are stronger together and we know it works!!! No excuses!!!
MUAH

Hump day blues.....

Ok no excuses... I just haven't had it in me to work out... =( for the past 2 weeks I have only worked out ONCE... and it wasn't a work out work out... it was running!

The good news is that I have been really good about staying on track with my eating. Other then the weekend... =) I suck. At Bunco I was bad, 2 maybe 3 pieces of pizza and 3 glasses of wine. YIKES! Then Sat. wasn't tooo bad, had a protien bar in the morning, 4 of those Jersery Mike sami's the tiny ones, then only tri tip and a little bit of garlic bread at the tournament. But I did have a few beers so that doesn't help either.

Sunday, not too bad, just vegged around, I was sooo beat from the golf tourney I didn't have the energy to do ANYTHING. Had an egg sandwich in the AM then missed lunch and then dinner was no good....left over pizza from the night before. SO my WEEKEND WAS BAD!!!!

You ladies are doing great. LAURA where are you? LEESE awesome job, Terese you rock with your 4:30 AM work outs, Rhonda great job on getting so close to your goal... WE will all get there one way or another!!! PROMISE!!!

SATURDAY is always a fun day!!!

Ok ladies.... so we all know the tru test begins today!

This weekend is off to a great start! Last night we went for sushi and it was sooo yummy, jin's roll ans salmon sashimi were on my menu. Then cruised around the outlets and almost stopped for cookies, then yogurt, but luckly I was still full from dinner. =)

So this mornig is off to a great start, just went on a 3.11 mile run in great time too 30.19 mins. My miles are getting fast and so that means burning more calories!!!

We are off to a day of shopping in TO and then to sunny SB to hang out with my sis and Q!! oh, and my great bro in law =)!!! '
Love you ladies you can do it, just stay focused this weekend and have a good time. See you all tomorrow!!!! MUAH

Right on Track

I'm so happy to report that since Wednesday I've lost 2 pounds! I know its probably water weight or perhaps change in clothing but nonetheless, the scale shows a loss ;) My abs are feeling so sore from WOW and I like it!

As the weekend approaches...and practically here, I find myself already wanting a "reward" for my good progress. We'll see how it goes but as some of my partners have stated, I think the real test will be how we do on the weekends. Weekends are always fun, busy, and laid back especially now that the weather is nice...I sense TONS of drinking, BBQs and bad (but good) food! Weekends=the real test. Good luck girls, may the force be with you! :)
