March = Spring time = getting serious

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!!!

HUMP DAY WEEK 3

I think today is a blue day... maybe brighter tho... being that I am not blue.... down in the dumps. =)

Ok well I know I blogged last night before I left for the day so this one will be short...

Yesterday I had a bigger goal: EXERCISE: As soon as I am done blogging going on a run... goal 5 miles!!! CK I ended up running 5.44 miles!!! Sooo excited to get over that hump of 4 miles.

Yesterday felt great to be outside working out... getting some fresh air, and perfect timing being that it is raining today. That will help me do P90X!!

Good news on my weigh in... Last week I weighed in at 129.6 (I think .6) and today which I was scared about... weighed in at:

EXERCISE - P90X arms and shoulders work out plus AB RIPPER

First HUMP day of 2011

Morning ladies... ok excited to be posting again... I just caught up on my reading and am up to date on where my girls are at!!! T, Laura, Jen... where you girls be? YES I am calling you out! =)

Ok so my plan on Sunday was not executed to well. lol I did start out good with my healthy breakfast, but then I got cozy on my couch curled up in a ball and next thing I knew I had a blanket on me and I was out like a light... So... that needless to say delayed, postponed, actually cancelled my p90x work out for the day. =) After I work up I really needed to get some stuff done around the house. We lagged so much on laying around we didn't get anything out for dinner.
Plus we didn't have any kids home so we were like what do you want, no what do you want.. =) I had to run to SP to take Aliyah her backpack so... we decided on Taco Bell, not the best thing in the world but hey. OH...
Tim out...
I have this really cool new AP on my phone and it is free!! LOOSE IT. It is sooo awesome I have plugged in what my goal for loosing per week then it tells me to get to that goal along with a goal weight how many calories I am allotted to have everyday!!! FREAKIN LOVE IT...
So back to my Sunday... since I hadn't eaten anything since the healthy breakfast, my 2 beef tacos, bean & cheese burrito, and 1/2 of reg. nachos and small sierra mist, still kept me under then my allotted calories. =)

So Monday came and I am decided to get FREAKING serious. I haven't had time to work out this week, just running all around, but I have been eating sooo good.
Monday:
morning - coffee, and saltine crackers... forgot my breakfast
lunch- salad with grilled chicken & asada from Snappers (Free, mtg) little bit of jacks sauce, NO CHIPS, NO SODA
dinner - nada... =( i know bad.. I had to deliver some MK to my friend aka Realtor and we started chatting and I didn't get home until like 8 and had to get Aliyah to bed.. But I downed WATER!!!
Tuesday:
breakfast - P90x Protein shake, fresh melon, fresh strawberries, coffee with creamer (by the way... I need to start using NO freakin creamer... yikes with the calories)
Lunch - Grilled 1/4 chicken, 2 pieces of tri tip, small spoonful of chilie beans, salad with ranch and 1 small piece of garlic bread (FREE another mtg) NO BROWNIES... NO SODA
1 liter of water
Dinner - 2 pieces of grilled 1/4 chicken, 1 pieces of tri tip, salad with ranch (ha took the left overs from the meeting.) WATER
WEDNESDAY:
Breakfast - 2 morning start sausage patties topped w/ low fat motz ch on 1 piece of wheat toast, coffee with creamer came out to 436 calories.... I have 1426 everyday.. which I think is high, trying to keep it around 1200 or 1300!!!
Lunch - another FREE day... another meeting =) on the menu are sandwiches, salad, chips and fruit salad. I am going to AVOID chips... and take the bread off!!! I will keep you posted
Dinner - ahh I don't know it is just me, Aliyah will be eating with her dad, but a chance ROD might be home. I did take a small thing of LEAN hamburger out so I might make that.

Not only am I watching my food intake but my money outtake too.. =) SO this is helping that i am trying not to spend ANYTHING that I don't need to. I need to eat the food in my casa... =)

Ok girls going to head over to my meeting now. I will be online still so i will email you all soon. Love ya!!! Keep up the GREAT work.

HUMP DAY IS A GREAT DAY!!!

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
LUNCH - gg to have hm-made Chicken Salad (p90 recipe) 1TBLSP of protein pwdr mixed with water. =/ not that excited... but its a must
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...

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.

The kids and I did a BIG Costco run so that I will stop eating out, and then picked up KFC on the way home.=( no bueno for the waistline at all... and really no bueno on my stomach..=(

I picked up Super A chicken so I decided to eat that, NO GOOD.. booo... Felt like blah after. BUT then we came home and went to VONS where I decided to buy some BEN n JERRY's yummy Oatmeal cookie ice cream... SERIOUSLY... probably the best ice cream I have EVER HAD!!! YUMM Didn't eat it all but still soooo good.

OK so now for this week...

No work outs just yet this week but eating has been good. When I weighed in... I was down 2 lbs which I was VERY happy about... was hoping for more but I will take it! I want to get at least 4 more down.

Ok ladies... I miss you girls... can't wait for BUNCO and LADY A... Need to be looking hottie pottie in my outfit, not sure what to be yet but you know me... sexy vixen in some way! =) lol PLUS I have my 1/2 marathon on Nov. 6th!!! yikes not far away.

Lets stay motivated!!!

Ok just disgusting... =(****

Good morning my friends!!!

Hope you all are doing great and had a nice weekend and didn't sweat to much from this dang heat... YIKES it's hot.

Ok sooo for the title of my post! I am GROSS ... Seriously... GROSS...I stepped on the scale today and wanted to die.... it has gone up WAY to much since Vegas... and really the only excuse I have is, that I am LAZY. It isn't that I needed to splurge, or that I am too busy, or that I have hurt myself, it is just plain out LAZINESS!!!

Well that's it... it ends today. My clothes aren't fitting me, I do not like what I see in the mirror, I don't like not having energy, and for the first time in MONTHS I am getting a cold. =(

So I am hitting it hard again. This morning I weighed in, and I am set for the P90X nutrition guide again. Rod is scheduled to bein Lancaster all week so I have all the time to get my butt up and work out everynight!

This morning:
Breakfast - 6 egg whites (no butter, Pam) with 2 pieces of sandwich ham mixed in. maybe 6 oz of cottage cheese with a couple of garlic triskets, and coffee with creamer.
Snack - on the menu - protein bar & recovery drink
Lunch - on the menu - chef salad - so i will grab a salad from Toppers or Urban cafe didn't have time to make one.
Dinner - on the menu - Salmon, but no me guesta cooked salmon so since it is just Aliyah and I, we will have Tuna Helper!! =) I bought it cause it looked good, so we are going to try it.

Work out plan for tonight. Going to get a the P90X work out in set for today, I think it is arms and back or something like that... BUT while aliyah is at soccer, I think I am going to walk the field, no need for me to just sit there playing on my phone when I can be doing something better for myself!

Miss you girls, we are all super busy but all want the same thing... Lets get healthy together!

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.

9 Habits that Will Shrink Your Middle

1. Calm down. Too much stress can contribute to a potbelly. Stress increases levels of cortisol, a hormone that seems to direct fat to our middle, says Jacob Seidell, PhD, of the National Institute of Public Health in Bilthoven, Netherlands. To keep levels low, try this 5- to 10-minute stress reducer: Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit. Next, take several slow, deep breaths to help clear your mind. Continue breathing deeply and repeat the word one to yourself as you exhale. (If you get distracted, just bring your focus back to the word one.) Practice this for 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a day.

2. Skip the alcohol for a week or so. That glass of wine with dinner may be part of the reason your jeans are too tight. Alcohol also tends to raise cortisol levels, sending fat to your belly, Seidell says.

3. Stop smoking. “It keeps me thin,” proclaim many smokers. But the truth is that smokers tend to have more abdominal fat than nonsmokers, says Seidell. (The stress hormone cortisol seems to be the culprit here too.) "When people stop smoking, the amount of abdominal fat actually decreases," he says.

4. Eat more fiber. Not only is fiber great for overall weight loss (it fills you up so you don't eat as much), but it also prevents constipation, which can cause your tummy to bulge, says Lawrence J. Cheskin, MD, a gastroenterologist and director of the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center in Baltimore. To stay regular, aim for 22 to 25 g of fiber a day by eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables

5. Drink up. For premenstrual bloating, drink lots and lots of water. This will actually help flush away bloating, not make it worse.

6. Keep bones strong. Osteoporosis can lead to fractured bones in your spine, causing you to slump. That shortens your abdominal cavity, giving your belly no place to go but out, says Willibald Nagler, MD, physiatrist in chief emeritus at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center in New York City. Be sure to get 1,000 mg of calcium every day from the foods you eat and/or from supplements.

7. Get your heart rate up. All the ab exercises in the world won't do a thing unless you get rid of the fat hiding your abdominal muscles. The best way is to do aerobic exercise for 45 to 60 minutes, 5 times a week.

8. Tuck your tummy. Imagine there's a magnet pulling your belly button back toward your spine. Practice the tuck until it becomes comfortable, and soon it will come naturally--like breathing. Do it every chance you get.

9. Get a bonus ab workout. Stand as much as possible when doing weight-lifting exercises. That way your abs work too. “They help to balance and stabilize your body,” says Tammy Strunk, an Emmaus, PA, fitness instructor. Concentrate on keeping your abs tight and maintaining good posture, but don't hold your breath.

Mrs.M's Weekly Goals

As our first week of working out and WOW comes to an end I'm happy that I've done pretty well. I haven't gained any weight and I've worked out OR did some type of exercise 4 days out of the week.

My goals for week 2:

*Continue to make healthy food choices
*Maintain or lose weight
*Exercise 5 days out of the week (this may include a work out video, walk, lifting weights, or cleaning my WHOLE house)

I will be giving myself Saturday OFF to celebrate my two year wedding anniversary!! :)

Keeping it going!!!

What a weekend of being up and down!!! =) Well not to bad to be honest! Friday was great... Rod and I took Jay and 3 of his friends to Magic Mountain where I thought I was going to fall off the deep in....funnel cake, carmel apples, candy, soda, nachos.... COME ON all my favorite things.... Ok I could do w/o the funnel cake but LOVE everything else. And I thought since we were going to be entertaining young boys we would be all over all that food. BUT we did great, we bought all you can eat passes (they were cheaper then dropping crazy amounts of $$) and Rod and I both had Grilled chicken, some salad, and some chili beans.... NOT to bad for MM status. Then later I did have a soda and some jelly bellys =) but hey it wasn't to bad.

SOOOO SAT, woke up early and went for a 3.3 mile run/walk with Leah, it was really nice to get up and get it out of the way! Had a lot of fruit and could resist some of the coolwhip spice dip I made for the tupperware party! Bought LITE coolwhip, did anyone notice??? =) Later not to bad just had a taco salad and didn't eat any of the taco shell part!!!

Sunday was good too!!! Made pancakes in the morning according to the nutrition guide we could have REGULAR pancakes.... BUT I decided to double the recipe and did 1/2 wheat flr and 1/2 white flr, then used brown sugar instead of granulated sugar... THE KIDS and ROD loved them!!!! I was impressed how good they were. The rest of the day we did really good too..

SO this weeks begins and it's off to a great start. Today is my weigh in day at home, and I am well on track for my goal, I didn't go up or down I stayed the same weight which is fine for my goal since I am more focussed on the inches!!! LADIES we are on for Wed. right, ZUMBIA at the Morales household!!! Can't wait to see you all!!!

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! :)
