Yesterday went as planned minus a few 100 calorie pack and carrots before bed time. I was so dang on HUNGRY!! I think it will take my body a week or so to get used to the reduce calories and weight loss and firming will proceed, I know it! Today was an easy day for me. Just cleaned around the house, worked on my fashion blog fashioniche, and chatted with hubby before our son arrives home from school. Today’s meal plan is going great so for. I even tried out a new snack that was yummy today!
My meals:
Breakfast: Walnut, date, and almond oat meal 240 and turkey 60 total: 300
Lunch: Protein shake 200 and banana 60 cals total: 260
snack: other half banana 60, soft cheese 60, and wheat crackers 140 total: 290
Dinner: beef tenderloin 440, mushrooms 60, asparagus 30 and salad 50 total 580 cals
100 calories pack
totals: 1530 calories
Water goal: 64oz over half there already!!
Exercise: 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical now!!
Well, I am off to get that cardio in before I have to head into work tonight. So with that said I am out!!
Hey all, it has been another hot minute since I have chatted with you all, huh? I am enjoying life way too much but that’s not so bad right? My mom, was here visiting from Wisconsin last week. I haven’t seen here in over a year, so I was soooooo excited to see her. We celebrated our son’s 5th birthday on Saturday at chuck e cheese which was a blast. My son loves Star wars and he racked up on the light sabers and star wars toys.
Then this past Sunday my mom and I had a wonderful mother daughter day shopping at the outlets. We had such a great time shopping, but when it came time to try on clothes all I can say is YIKES!! It funny through my mom and I are the same size which means we both gained the same amount of weight except for God has blessed her with the breasts and gave me all the booty, lol. Now, I still weight 180 which puts me from a size 8 to a 10/12. So lets just say I did not buy a lot of clothes because I did not want to get used to being in a 12.
So, now I will punish myself and wear my tight 10’s for now. Why? because it gives me a daily reminder to make smarter choices with eating the right portion of foods, exercise, drinking lots of water, and learning again to eat only when hungry and not snacking. I can do this and I will and I now how. With that said here is my outline for today:
Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009 is finally available for purchase now! Remember I did a post about a few months ago? Well, it is here and will be going on my wish list along with the Wii Fit for Christmas. If you are looking for something fun to do you have got to workout on the Wii fit! It is so much fun and so different then a DVD.
Some of the reviews on this particular game was not that good. A majority of people felt that this is more of a game than a fitness program, so I guess I will have to find out for myself, huh? Have any of you purchased this game? If so, please leave some comments to share with us all because many of us here would like to know.
Here is a clip from youtube for you to review. Check it out!!
Wow, is all I have to say. I am sore as hell after starting this workout DVD by Jillian Michaels called Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred. I am glad to be sore because that means I am on my way to shredding off this excess weight for good! (20 pounds that is, but hopefully less when I weight in tomorrow.) This workout is great for any workout level given that she includes her 3-2-1 Interval System that combines strength, cardio, and abs to burn through calories for a awesome 30 day weight loss.
The DVD includes three 20 minute workouts which progress by level of intensity. I am so glad there was a level one, because I have not workout at my advance level in a long time and if I did I would have hurt myself, lol. So, this was a great start and man was I out of breath and out of shape.
I feel that this is a great workout for someone starting to exercise and does not have access to a gym. All you will need is a set of dumbbells. I started of with 5’s and I will begin to increase it up to 8lbs next weeks. I you need a new workout get Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred.
OMG! I can not believe how fast time went by while we were on our Walt Disney World vacation! We had such a great time there this week especially our son. He was in cloud nine the entire time we were there. We stayed at a Disney Resort called the All Star Sports resort. Which I have to say that the next time we go I will be staying at another resort like the Carri bean beach resort or the Grand Floridian. Why? Well a lot of youngsters of course and it was so loud! But anyway it did not ruin of trip through. We visited the Magic Kingdom where they celebrated Halloween at night and the kids got to go trick or treating and meet their favorite characters. I swear we were at Magic Kingdom until almost Midnight. Crazy huh? Here are some pics from there.
Magic Kingdom:
Those are just the pics from Magic Kingdom. We also visited the Animal Kingdom, Epoct, and MGM Studios too. So, I will have a lot more to share so stay tuned in the next few days.
Update: I added more to this newer slider show. More to come!
Now, many may ask how did your diet go? Diet. . . What Diet? I was on vacation and I paid for it big time. Pre-vacation I weighed 175 and post vacation . . Drum roll please. . . .. 180!!! Okay I said it and now that I am back the vacation from my diet is over. I need to get off 20lbs for real! May goal is to have it off before christmas. So that gives me 2 months. I may get back on Nutrisystem or maybe try something different. I can do it myself, but I am a bit lazy on preparing my own food, so if I can skip that step I am HAPPY!! So, with that said I am detoxing starting tomorrow.
Well, I better go and relax. I still need to go through more pics to share with you all and enjoy the rest of my vacation with my family. Have a great weekend!

Hi all, I can not believe how time flies. It is already October and where am I today? Well, since my last post I have lost a few pounds, but not quite back into the 160’s yet, but I am not stressing about it. It seems to me when I don’t stress about the weight loss I lose the weight. Today my scale reads 175 which means I lost 4 pounds since September 3 so I am very happy with that and I will continue until I am back to my comfortable weight of 160. My goal is to be there before December 15th. So there I said it.
I am so excited to say that in a fews day my family and I will be heading to Walt Disney World!!! YEY!!!
I can not wait. Our son is like, how many more days?? I told him 6 more and just gets this big excited expression on his face and I love it! So, next week you will not see a post from me, but when I return I will be post lost of pics so brace yourself. hee hee
Well, I am off for now. I got a lot of cleaning to do before we fly out this weekend so.
Did you all have a great Labor day? I did and then my Birthday was yesterday and I had a blast!! I ate very sensibly and later in the evening my family and I headed off to the Main event where we bowled for the first time with our son! Our little guy had a great time learning how to bowl. It was so nice to see. My bowling sucks for one thing and to make things worse my little 4 year-old almost defeated me. No laughing out there!
Well, today I am so in love with my DVR. You know how sometimes you get so board with the same workout DVD’s? Then in the long run causes you not to exercise to the fullest due to that boredum? Well, last night I came to this new way of thinking. I thought. . . I record some of my favorite shows like Project Runway and so on, Well. . . . why not record some new workouts that comes on Fit TV? Duh!!! So I did and worked out to Sharon Mann this afternoon while my son finger painted and it was so nice! Nice to do something different and not be able to anticipate the next moves. I was sweating like a dog and I feel GREAT!!
Before I go I wanted to apologize for now giving you all my motivational Mondays post, fabulously fit Fridays, and other health related post lately. I have been in a mental rut myself and I needed the time to figure things out for my own weight battle these past few months. But not to worry, the post will return in full effect starting next week!! So stay tuned. . .
I have not hopped on the scale to see if I see any improvement from last week’s 179, but we will see on Monday morning what the verdict is. Well I better go for now. I have to get ready for work tonight in the land of retail. Chat later!!
I can not believe it has been 7 days till my last post. You better believe I have not been up to my best behavior and that explains why the scale peaked up to 179 this week. EKKK!! So in horror of returning back to the big and unhealthy me I started to eat a bit better and today I actually got back to my cardio routine!!! I am not kidding! I did 40 minutes of Billy Blanks Fat blasting cardio w/o the billy bands. Why? I am soooo out of shape. I tired the first 15 minutes with them and I was huffing and puffing, so I took them off and continued to exercise!! Yey!!
I am so glad that I did exercise in order to back my routine of laziness creeping in. I was going to sit on the couch and watch a soap opera while my son sleeps, but instead I decided to take that time and use it wisely. I am so proud of myself!! My eats have been good to today.
Meals:
yogurt, banana, eggs
chicken salad with fruit
apple and string cheese
dinner will be chicken with broccoli
Not too bad considering I took my son for his weekly fun meal to Mc Donalds and I did not order a darn thing!! YES!!! Well, I just had to post what was going on, now I have to get ready to retail hell for a few hours. I hope that you all are doing well and I will chat later.
Well, another day gone past. What did I do to make the most of it? Not much, just a lot of house chores and play time with my son before work. My eats were not terribly bad. . . What did I eat today?
Breakfast: eggs, whole wheat toast, green tea
Lunch: tuna sandwich on whole wheat toast and raw carrots
Snack: yogurt and almonds
dinner: chicken salad in tortilla with lettuce and tomatoe
Snack: too many chips. ( I am afraid that i will have to ban these from the house because this is the second night that I had a bit too many
Water: 50oz, tea 16oz (mental note increase water intake
Exercise:
30 minutes elliptical
does running around chasing a child for 20 minutes count?
Tomorrow I really need to weight train my lower half of the body and then I will do some cardio with tae bo fat blasting cardio DVD. Tomorrow will be a better day of making good choices.
