March = Spring time = getting serious

Monday, March 7, 2011

YAY!!! I love reading what my girls are doing!!!!

I have been away for a bit, well I was getting lonely for one, but then I just got really really busy and then I got sick! GEEZO...
But I am back now, and ready to keep working....

Now where I have been and what I have been doing.

I love love love this Loseit ap.. really I think it helps me so much. OH and if you don't have the ap you can go to loseit.com and do everything there... I sometimes go there instead and it automatically updates on my phone.
Before getting sick last week I was doing good with my running and walking... Then I got sick. I didn't work out for a week, but keep with in the range of my good eating. After Sat. the 26 I didn't want to drink for a little while... one to many strawberry margaritas... =/

Where I am now.

ONE plus from being sick, I lost 4 pounds!!! =) So when I weighed in on Wed. I was down to 126.4!!!! I was happy.

Sunday (yesterday) I got back out there and ran 3.5 miles. Then when I got home the kids wanted to go jogging, so we ended up jogging for 1 more mile. I loved it, loved that the kids were out there with me, getting some exercise, and wanting to do it!

This weeks plan: I am suppose to be on the second phase of P90X right now BUT being that I only did it about 5 times in the last 30 days... I think I need to start again.
Rod and I both are trying to not drink very much. BUT when things come up like an event we will splurge.

GOAL This week:
1. Do P90X 4 times this week
2. Weigh in at 125.5 this Wed.
3. Run 2 times this week
4. BLOG 3 times this week.

It felt like summertime on Sat. I loved the weather, but was not near wearing summertime clothes (i.e. shorts) so I am determined to change that come spring time!!! Just around the corner.

LOVE YOU GIRLS!!!

Good morning ladies... Hope you all had a great weekend!!! I know Mondays are hard but I am going to start off the day with an update to get the week and morning started!!!

First step... recap of my last blog goals and weekend goals:
Friday I was really sore... but didn't know what sore was really till later that night and Sat. morning. LADIES I could barely move... My thighs felt like 50 lbs weights... So Friday night I took it easy and just hung out w/ no work out. I made dinner for the kids and then cruised around Target, so at least I didn't just sit on my booty. =)

Sat goals:
Run 4.5 - 6 miles before the basketball game.... Stay on track eating Well I didn't quite get to 4.5-6 miles... but I did get out there... I thought it would help with my soreness... I was a SLOWWWW snail but still ran 3.13 miles Sat. morning. I wanted to cry 1/2 the time and was hoping that Laura or Terese would happen to be outside their house so I could take a break.. =) no luck.. lol so I had to keep going.
Sunday - Do p90x video in the AM before the big game... Stay on track eating (few very few exceptions) Ok so no work out again... we slept in until 9AM woo hoo Aliyah was knock out too. BUT I did clean house... up and down back and forth, laundry, vacuuming dishes, everything. =)
Recap eating:
Friday - I made the kids chicken tenders and mini corn dogs... motz cheese sticks and fries...
I made a salad with cut up chicken tenders in it! Not bad. But not great.

SAT:
Brkfst - Protein shake (P90X) and recovery drink;

lunch - mixture of things... baby carrots, celery, ranch, black olives, crackers, motz cheese w/ prushito???, chips and salsa
Dinner - homemade Turkey burger, turkey chili, tortilla chips.

Gezzo... I thought since I was blogging more often they would get shorter. =) lol BUT I guess I have a lot to say.

Today I have on the menu and goals as follows:
Brkfst - 4 egg whites, 1 yoke, moztz cheese, coffee with creamer
lunch - chef salad may be a "Sub in a Tub" from my fav. Jersey Mikes

Feeling really good today, much less sore but still there... can't believe how freaking sore I really am. I am sooo shocked. My butt was/is even sore, not sure when that has ever really been sore.
The boys are off to AV this morning again, this time for a whole week... LAURA come over and we will work out???? LADIES... WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER... LEESE WHERE YOU BE? It is hard for me to go out to others houses, cause my little one is in bed by 7:45 p.m.

Goals for today:

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.

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!

Monday, January 24, 2011

Good morning ladies!!!

I am super pumped today!!! Today is a new day, a new week, a new me!!!

I was MIA last week just cause I am sooo busy at work right now but that is good. BUT it is not good for my updates and my blogging... =) So.... here is my update and my plan.

When I first logged in again I think my weigh in was 133... Well for the past few weeks I have been really good at eating good through the week, and OK on the weekends... BUT have not been working out. =(* A few walks during the day that have been burning about 85-100 calories.. so that isn't bad. but I need to do more. Well I have been fluctuating between 131-133 since I first weighed in... more on the 133 side tho.

Moving frwd. Rod and I decided to give our plan a jump start and really do the FAT BURNER diet from p90 for at least 30 days... We need a boost and I think this will help. SOOOO last night. I prepared my lunch and breakfast for today, and he got a bunch of stuff to take to AV with him since they are there AGAIN for 3 days. I packed my clothes to go running tonight right after work here in VTA since it will still be light if I just do it here. NO MORE EXCUSES. Then when I get home I am going to vacuum and finish laundry, maybe sweep and mop.... More up and downs.... but the best part of this is that I am really excited about getting out there to run... Get my blood flowin and trim my damn waste line... I am running out of things to wear since none of these bottoms are fitting me. =(

MORE motivation - I FOUND MY WEDDING DRESS!!!! =) I will leave more update for my wedding email update. =) BUT for my blogging... I need/want to work on my arms and my chest area... I don't feel like it looks very flattering the way my skin/fat sits.. =) And I really want to be amazing looking and feeling. =)

Ok so the plan and goal for today.
1. I changed my BLOG picture to a pic of laura and I standing up, Full Body shot from VEGAS, since at that time I was thinner and feeling really good, Still not as toned as I would like to be but in MUCH better shape then I am in now. I would like to get back to that stage w/in 45 days!!! I can do it!!!
2. This color is one of my colors for the wedding!! =) totally in wedding mode...=)
3. I weighed in this morning at 133.4 =( goal for next weigh in is 130 sched. Wed. 02/02!
4. Run at least 2.5 miles today & eat on my plan, drink 3 liters of water today!

On the menu:
Brkfst - 4 egg whites 1 yoke, 1/4 cup of mushroom, 1/8 cup of motz. cheese cooked in PAM, 12 oz coffee and creamer... doing better on my creamer in take =)
Snack - string cheese
Lunch - HOMEMADE chef salad... water
Dinner - HOMEMADE talapia w/ wild rice... water

I am excited ladies... I am excited to get my energy back, I am excited about becoming a wife, about everything in life!!! =) Lets do this ladies...

Hump day!!!

This weekend I know is going to involve a lot of drinks and maybe some not so good for me food, so there will be a lot of work to do next week, because there is no holding back this weekend!!! =)



LADY A is only a little more then 24 hrs away and I am soooooo excited.



My pants are fitting me not bad... a little better then 2 weeks ago.. but I have yet to try a pair on that were really snug before... Just don't want to be bummed out that I haven't changed enough to wear them...



I did weigh in this morning just to see where I am as of now, but going to record after this weekend still even tho it may not be pretty.... See you ladies tomorrow!!!!

Doing as Tony says....

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Ok so I really try and block out most of the dorky things that Tony goes on and on about in the videos, and really don't watch their expressions well cause they are dorks. =) BUT...One thing that really caught my attention last night was great motivation. IT was at the end of our work out and he said...

"Stop thinking, get out of your head, get out of your head, pop this video in and just press play, an press play again..."

I love the "get out of your own head" DO IT... GET OUT... you mind has so much power over what your body CAN do and WANTS to do!!! I am huge on mind over body. That's what got me through child birth, and that is what is getting me through working out and keeping motivated!!

RECAP!!!!

Lunch - Salad to go from Toppers, not to much ranch dressing, added some cauliflower and more broccoli, to the usually, tomato, egg, lettuce, carrots, celery, a little fake bacon bits and parm cheese.

Lunch - PLANNING Shrimp salad from SMFCO maybe ahi???
Snack - PLANNING 2 string cheese

I feel soooo good today. Just feel like I don't have SUCK in everything all around. Not there yet, obviously, my stomach last night doing the AB Ripper... yucko... I was just sitting there poking at it. =) lolo BLAH that is my trouble zone.

Starting out week 2 pretty good and still very motivated. Tomorrow I plan to wake up at 4:15 to work out since I am getting my hair did tomorrow night! Can't slack off before LADY A!!! Leah and I are going to go shopping on Friday and I don't want to be all blah when shopping.

Rhon? Laura? Where you ladies be???? We miss hearing from you gals! Keep working hard ladies!!!

Friday Funday!!!

Friday, October 22, 2010

It's Friday!!! woo hoo, what a great week this has been so far... We still have two more days so not trying to slack off anytime soon.

Really I was looking forward to it being a little warm today, but that is not the case, so it is still a need for the warm snugly clothes that also make you wanna just curl up and be cozy... Makes working out tough but we have the DRIVE so we can fight that urge, and just get cozy AFTER we work out. =)

RECAP:

Thursday - (I don't remember if I posted after lunch or before lunch sooo)
Lunch - homemade, steak salad P90-recipe
snack - didn't have one... not a fan of turkey jerky which was on the menu need to find a substitute
Dinner - BAKED homemade chick breast, wild rice, steamed zuchinni, WATER
WORKOUT - P90X Yoga!!! Only did 45 mins of the 130 min work out...but I was sweating like crazy.. while in a praying twist the sweat was dripping down my face!!!=) Love it...

Friday - it's been a crazy start this far.... see below
Brkfst - 6 egg whites, 1 yoke, fresh spinach, motz cheese, coffee
Snack - PLANNING -Protein bar, 1/2 of recovery drink
Lunch - PLANNING - turkey sandwich from subway (suppose to have turkey burger, but I didn't make it...
Snack - i don't know.
Dinner - PLANNING - not being tooo bad at BUNCO!!! Might have something small before I go so it will make it easier for me...Time w/ my girls is all I need.
WORKOUT - =( no work out today... woke up to late...

This is where my funny story comes in.... Well after Yoga I cooled down then didn't' do ANYTHING for today, didn't make lunches, didn't get Aliyahs clothes ready, nada... just washed my face and laid down... Well that led to a LLOONNGGG convo with Rod about home-life, kids and step kids... it is a long convo and well, just really TOUGH sometimes.... so that led to a dead silence and then sleep... Aliyah woke up at what time I don't know cause she was thirsty, so I took her back to bed, got her some water and laid in bed with her!!! Woke up, at what time I don't know.... took my ass back to my bed and then what felt like a min. later, my alarm went off, over and over and over again. finally, i hit it off!!!! soooo we all know where this is going right.... YUP, my alarm goes off at 5:10... UMMM I didn't get up until 6:27 a.m.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By this time I am usually showered, lotioned, & 1/2 done with my make-up and waking aliyah up to get ready. =)

So needless to say I didn't have time to work out this morning nor blow dry my hair... =)

BUT I feel really good about all my progress this week so missing a day of working out won't be to bad.

On the schedule for the weekend:

Sat - eating good, doing Kempo work out and maybe going for a run in the early Morning!!!

Sunday - waking up early and going for a run, then heading to Aliyah's school Fiesta and being all over the place for that. That will be a lot of good active activity.

Thank you everyone for your convo's this week. I am so anxious everyday to see what we are all doing and where our goals are at... LOVE it T that we were so in sync this week!!! =)

LADIES my house is always always open for work out nights.... instead of just WOW.... We can have WOM, WOT, WOTH, WOF.. =0 I am going to be working out every night, why not with my girls.... Usually I will always start at 8-830ish... or maybe we can do a Work out Tree so when one of us gets going we all get going... if that helps, cause going to one anothers house is hard I know. BUT My house is always open.

Last note: Love how we have developed this into a Workout Fitness / Personal venting, guidance outlet... We are just getting stronger together in every way!!!

LOVE YA.... See you all tonight!

HUMP DAY IS A GREAT DAY!!!

Wednesday, October 20, 2010

OK.... first and foremost.... love love love reading the posts!!! YES, my girls are back! JENNY, so great to hear from you.. Seriously you guys the more I am writing things down and reading about what you guys are doing is sooo motivating to me!!!

Now... recap since Monday afternoon. We all now know my fight with the SCALE on Sunday morning... and how I said enough is enough, I am just making it harder on myself... well I am sooo pumped about sticking with it. Since I did confess a feelin that at Bunco I will be on my BEST behavior and will not be participating in DRUNKO BUNCO, but still will be loads of fun. =)

Monday:
Lunch - I did get a caprise salad from Urban, only a TINY bit of ranch... on my honor, then only ate a bite of the corner of the bread....WATER
Snack - nothing.
Dinner - I ended up making Top Romon for my girl but added shredded boiled chicken to it, she didn't like it to much... FOR ME I had a salad with cucumber, grape tomatoes, chopped raw broccoli, and a little bit of Ranch. WATER
WORK OUT- P90X Chest and back plus Ab Ripper
**side note on my work outs... I am now keeping a log on my computer of how many reps I am doing of everything PER Tony's telling me too!!! I am going to track my improvements and push myself a little more each time. doing it on the computer cause that is easier the writing everything out and finding a place for it.**

Tuesday:
Breakfast - Protein Shake & coffee w/ creamer (I have downsized to the SHS coffee mug since it is much smaller then my starbucks cup, this way I can start weening myself off of it... creamer is BAD BAD BAD, so maybe just for the wknds) oh and SHS is Sacred Heart School
Snack - Luna Protein Bar w/ 1/2 recovery Drink
Lunch - forgot my lunch so... went to Taco Bell, ordered a Chicken rancho taco salad, NO RICE, NO Dressing, NO Sour CREAM, I only ate, the chicken on top, lettuce, cheese and a TAD of the beans... Didn't touch the SHELL, water
Snack - String cheese
Dinner - turkey sausage, green beans, water
WORK OUT- P90X Cardio X - was suppose to do Plyo... but yea that is a toughy and didn't think I should do that just yet, so went with Cardio X, one of my FAV's too, and sweated like a BEAST... felt great after

Wednesday aka HUMP DAY (I hope to today..=) lol)
WORK OUT- Yup.. me too 4:45AM Shoulders & Arms & AB RIPPER I too didn't do the bonus part (last 10-12 mins) cause I wanted to do Ab Ripper.
Brkfst - 6 egg whites w/ 1 york with 2 pieces of sandwich turkey(was suppose to have chicken but didn't have any ready) w/ motz cheese, 2 pieces of TURKEY BACON
Snack - 1/2 recovery drink, Supreme Protein bar

Dinner - THE MAN IS GG TO BE HOME!!!! YAYAYA but not sure whats for dinner, suppose to have Halibit but no me guest... so maybe chicken breast or something healthy...

LADIES I am sooooo sore, can barely move, I wanted to cry this morning when I started the Ab Ripper, and seriously took me like 4 reps each move to actually do them... SORE SO GREAT....

I HAVE no time as none of us do these days, between kids, school, work, life, laundry, being a single mom w/o Rod around, it is tough... BUT I know I don't like the way I feel. I l know I am being very hardcore but I need to be in order for it to work I have found out. I don't work out until Aliyah is in bed and most of my mommy duties are done, out of the way for ME time.

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 want this... so I am doing this....

GOOD WORK everyone!!! We are doing this....

Fighting with the scale...

Monday, October 18, 2010

Ok..... so I am not happy with the scale at all today... Well actually yesterday... but really just not to happy....BUT not letting it discourage me. SO Recap first then we will get to my argument with the scale.

RECAP:
Friday -
snack - didn't happen, think I was away from my desk for a bit, but don't remember =)
LUNCH - Jersey Mikes mini sami. not the best one for ya but still better then a burger. It was the club not sure which number then 1/2 of bag of jalapeno kettle chips & water
DINNER - Went as planned, I made chicken taquitos and spanish rice... not good for the waist line, but good for the pocket book and home life.

SAT -
Brkfst - a small serving of scrambled eggs w/ turkey sausage
WORKOUT - Ran 3.17 miles (T & LM that is from my house to around Terese's house and back!)
Snack - WATER WATER
Lunch - SMFCO Ceviche Tostada @ Pumpkin patch, then I was dumb and bought some pumpkin macaroon cookies... soooo greasy and yummy blah....
Dinner - BJ's , 1 motz stick, 5 chicken wings =) my fav., then Rod and I split a chicken pesto flatbread pizza... oh and i had 2 Berry Burst Ciders (aka BEER) SOOO yummy another Fav. of mine.

SUN -
gggrrrrr stepped on the scale and thought for sure that it would be lower then last week since I did sooo much running... ah not the case. I guess my bad choices over the weekend OVERPOWERED my activity during the week.
So the scale read 129.... =( not happy at all.
Brkfst - Made a trip with the kids to HOZY'S - decided to go BIG (not a good idea) Oatmeal and then a plate of eggs and bacon and home fries... sooo yummy oh but I had WATER =) I took 1/2 the oatmeal home tho. =)
Lunch - 1/2 sandwich with meat and cheese only
Dinner - Cheese tortellini w/ chicken in alfredo sauce, garlic bread, steamed broccoli, water. all homemade

Now for today... not bad so far, but I think I am going for the gusto now! I tried on 2 pairs of jeans this morning and neither of them worked... =( not ok with that.

I need to really get serious here if I really want this.

So I decided to start keeping a food dairy/log... i do that now but think I am going to be better with it then I have been... that way I can see what the heck isn't working for me.

MONDAY-
Brkfst - coffee, oatmeal
snack - 1/2 of Luna bar
Lunch - gg to get a Caprise salad from Urban
Dinner - ??? not sure yet, it's just me and the little one AGAIN so we will see.. but something for sure.
WORKOUT - doing P90X video FOR SURE!

I need you guys to kick me in the butt!!! HELP HELP HELP
