LOST 2 MORE POUNDS!
Break out the Champagne! Ive been @ 157 for almost 2wks, and it felt great when the scale showed I lost 2pds, and I think Im content here. 145 was my goal but I dont want to stress it, Im going to to continue to workout fo a lean muscular look and if any weight falls off it will be naturally....
I had an awesome workout this mornig 2mile walk and 2 mile run, and then my 1hr fitness class (light weight training) w/ Mrs Pat who is an awesome teacher, she is in her 60's in tip top shape and looks great! She is truly an inspiration

At a Stand Still, (157)

2010-08-16T18:35:00.000-07:00

Last week was a stressful week for me and when I am stress I tend to eat more and gain weight, but luckily no weight gain just a stand still @ same weight from last week which is 157, I put in a good 5 day workout so that may have something to do with me not gaining, I ll take that!
Today has been good, a great workout, I had a light breakfast, a home made chicken salad for lunch and a apple pecan chicken salad from Wendys for dinner, my last meal was at 9pm and I will be drinking water for the rest of the night.

ANYTHING WORTH HAVING IS WORTH WORKING HARD FOR

I took a ride on the Wild Side

2010-08-08T14:17:00.000-07:00

I had a great dinner today, not the norm of what I normally eat but my body can afford it. So there,it was good and satisfying. I am sure this meal will last me till about 9pm - 10 pm tonight and I will follow it up with a late snack.
Lightly seasoned baked chicken, yellow spinach rice, ( 3-table spoons) came seasoned and high on carbs thats why I didnt eat so much, mixed vegges, green beans and sweet peas, last but not least my all time every day meal, house salad, with ceaser dressing, chopped pecans and salad toppings, Yep!

Dont 4get to wash your fruit and vegetables

2010-08-06T15:06:00.000-07:00

Do you know how important it is to wash you fruits and vegetable before you eat them? Well if not, very important, bacteria such as Listeria, Salmonella and E. Coli may all be lurking on your fruits and vegetables, whether they are organically grown or conventionally grown. These bacteria all cause food-borne illness and need to be washed away from your produce. I mean, really,do you know where they have been prior to getting to the Supermarket? Do you know how many hands in the fields and orchards handled your fruit and vegetable once they were ready for harvest?Unless your fruits and vegetables are organic, they grew up in fields covered in pesticides and herbicides. Although the pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables are considered to be at safe levels for human consumption, do you really want those extra chemicals on your food.
I am always in the kitchen washing my lettuce when it comes from the store, I mainly eat iceburg and spinach lettuce, so one day I was washing my spinach lettuce that came pre wash in a plastic bag and Lo and behold a Lady-bug came flying out and that was so disturbing to me, Im just glad I had sense enough to wash the lettuce, I probably would not have died but Im sure I would have gotten sick, so let remember you guys wash wash wash those fruits and veges!
I simply use water and a tad bit of antibacterial dish detergent and I let my fruit and vegges soak 2 to 5 min and I rinse with cold water and I also use a product called "Veggie Wash" from the makers of Citrus Magic,this product safely removes Pesticides, Waxes, Chemicals and Soil.

Down 3 Pds, 22 more to go!

2010-07-25T10:19:00.000-07:00

Ive been on a diet, weight challenge, healthy eating, or what ever you wanna call it, along with a high school friend, for a week now, and has lost 3pds... I started at 165 now at 162 and my goal is 145, which will be perfect for my frame, 5ft 7 in. I am finding myself very serious and I havent been this serious in a long time, and I am thinking cause I have a weight loss partner to share success and failures with makes it a little easier.
At this point I have no paticular diet, I am making up meals as I go, two of my goals are to cut back on the gum and coffee, I tend to chew alot of gum, soon as the flavor is out I am on to the next one, Im talking bout a pack a day which is loaded with sugar, it keeps me from eating but it is a unhealthy habit. Coffee which I love is another that I abuse, loaded with sugar (splenda) but I add alot of cream, and cappuccino to it, and I will have at least 3 cups 7 days a week from the local gas station, So what I did was got smart and went out purchased my own coffe machine and it has help me cut back tremendously and just small cut backs like that can mean so much.
Working out is not a big issue for me, for I love the gym, I love the way it makes me look, but I must say a good diet and gym go hand and hand, cause if not you will not see no results. I generally, walk 2miles and run 2miles a day 5 days a week, along with 1 to 2 fitness classes (pilates, strength training) 5 days a week. Lets just say I get it in.

I had a great lunch that will last me for about 5hrs b4 I eat anything else, I cooked grilled tilapia, Asparagus and a house salad,, followed by a liter of water and my daily vitamin intake,,which are ;;;

garlic- has so many benefit but I personally take mines to lower my cholesterol

Ester-C-- I take for my calcium and my immune system as a whole

Flax seed oil - for my hair and nails

Fish oil- for my heart health

I have been taken these vitamins and herbs for years it works forme, before taken in any vitamins or herbs consult your physician first and remember, with every good benefit there is a side affect

I am grateful to say I have 8 followers, thx you for following my blog ,, I try to keep you entertained with photos and videos and good heath topics,, again thx you,, having said that my food can be boring and repetitive but it is working for me,,, My girl and high school class mate Nikki Frenney joked with me about eating so many grilled chix ceaser salads, she said I'm gonna turn into one if I keep eating them,, I thought that was so funny, made my day,lol, but to be honest I have been eating those for years (from Wendys) and they are my little treats,, I gain no weight them and generally have a good bowel movement, just watch your dressing portions I use one pack,, thats where the fat comes in, and thats the good thing about Wendys, the dressing is on the side, but at a dine in restaurant they put the dressing on for you,,, thats a no no, tell them you want ot on the side, no croutons, and you will be on your way to a healthy start.

I did a 2 mile power walk today, and loaded up on a lot of water just flushing my system, keeping things moving, I will be hittting the gym hard tomorrow,,

I weighed in to day still at 157, I am not stuck, Ive not been eating at best so I need to regroup and think things over, am I content with my current weight, or am I gonna get back focus? cause for the last two weeks I have not been focus on my goal.. I think I am getting to comfi with my new weight that does look good on me but if I don't watch it I will gain weight back, and I ain't trying to do that....

My workouts are going strong but science proved your weight loss consist of 80 % of what you eat and 20 % of your workout,,,, so if you are not eating a healthy diet those workouts dont count,,,Im on my way to the gym now,,,,,,,, lets get focused!

Popeye's chicken "we do chicken right"! lol is that their slogan? Well if not i ate it 2days last week,I weighed in today and i am up 3pds, I weight 165... I had a very very stressful week last week which was about to go in to depression but I had to bounce out of that b4 it went to far, so i went to church yesterday for guidance and had Popeyes after service,(funny huh) (i had popeyes thursday too, thats when my stress began. now I need to find motivation to get back on track, the stress is still here, maybe I need to get my nails and toes done and relax a little

My workouts last week were great I did 4 days out of the 6, I love to workout but if I am not eatn properly its useless for me,I still gained 3 pds, What you put in your body is so important. its amazing the affect food has on your body, I still didnt do the workout video, but it is coming, i am so looking forward to sharing my workout with you, stay tuned.

I'm up and ready for a great day this morning, i weighed in today at 168, I'm excited cause i am back down, its been a mth since Ive started this health kick and Ive lost 6pds, i was hoping for 10 but i am happy for what i got but i can do better(i love food, lol) and i am saying that to remind my self of my goal and not to kick my self, 10pds a month is not bad i expect to loose 2pds a week at least and i can do it, I'm going to read over my previous blogs to see what changes i need to make,

Well I like to post pics of myself to see and show my improvement and as you can see with the picture above my outer thighs are taking shape, ive been working out 2 days a week on legs and thighs for the past 2 weeks, i like how they are taking shape, i have figure out a plan for the inside of my thighs,,, my upper body is taking great shape arms and shoulders and my upper abs. the problem i am having most is lower abs, hips , waist and buttocks,,, and normally Pilate's take care of that, i just gotta get my but in class.

As you see I have my meals all planed out today, i am doing a sea salt flush this morning which i do every two weeks and i will eventually move to a month, it a great cleansing for the body helps you move out that hard to get out waste and from there i will hit the gym for cardio.
