Sheer Determination....

"Ain't Nothing to it but to do it"...."Only thing keeping you from your goal is YOU"...yes I know all the catch phrases...all the right things to say to myself to boost up my determination. And this year I think I have done it to myself long enough. I am sooooo focused on me now. For years upon years I worried about making everyone happy but myself...I mean I knew I would be content in the process but was I really happy all these years. I'm not sure. I will NEVER be a skinny girl...don't even want to be...Love my curves...but love my LIFE more...and right now I'm unhealthy...I am running on sheer determination to change that fact. I will not stop till I feel healthy...till I am no longer on ANY medication for making bad decisions in the past. I read I should have at least 30 minutes of exercise 3xper week....well that will get me nowhere...so I'm shooting for minimum 30 minutes on 5 days... and I said minimum because 30 minutes is nothing.... I also learned that as we get older we kinda get "settling weight"...I refuse to be that. I AM NOT WHERE I WANT TO BE NOR WILL I SETTLE.  Thought I needed folks to join me on this journey....yeah that would be nice to have but even if I don't I'm in this for myself even if by myself......
Lovingly always,
Sunshyne Out.

21 Day Fix - Overview Week 2

Ok my confession first; I didn’t work out much last week…..three days. I let life give me excuses and I used ‘em. I am, however, still eating according to plan for the most part and still dropping pounds and inches. Although this is a 3-week program, I really don’t plan to stop…. since the goal is to adapt to the habits as my normal way of eating I will simply continue. I still give kudos to the program because I was at a major plateau. Although this is simply a program of portion control and timely eating… it’s presented in a way that makes it understandable in a market that is just overwhelmed with "get-skinny-fast" schemes. Tools are provided that helps you to see visually the perfect balance of nutrients to fuel and nourish your body. And you can’t beat a 30 minute but still effective workout. I’ve found that I can even “stray” and still see a drop on the scale. Friday night, I went out to eat my all-time favorite meal of Mexican fare. I almost always order a large...

Knee Up...

Sometimes I don't know if pain/discomfort I'm experiencing is simply weight related or if it's something I really should get checked. I've noticed my knee is constantly irritated. Only my left knee. At Zumba last night I could barely lean to the left while squat/plie. I kinda loosens up toward the end of the hour of aerobic activity but still hurts. Some kicks and such in MMA fitness really twist my knee up..... I was thinking that maybe because I'm not getting up on my toes more that the shoe-to-carpet connection is jarring on my knee but I'm just not sure. Every morning when I jump out of bed I'm limping pretty noticeably and this morning was no different. As the old folks say "Arthur was acting up" ...that is a possibility (arthritis) since it was very irritated during this morning's rainy weather. I guess I will mention it when I go for my regular checkup in a month but for now I'll just keep working it out. ugh.....Sunshyne Out.! (phot...

Taming Da Weekend Beast

OK...I'm convinced....there's somebody else inside me on the weekend....and SHE'S A BEAST! She likes to socialize and party and eat all the wrong shit and drink alcohol like there's no tomorrow. It's amazing to me now how disciplined I can be thru the workweek....eating portioned meals and at regular intervals. That never would have been me a year ago. I could consider that some growth in the right direction. But oh lawd I gotta work on me on the weekends. Well I obviously know that and subconsciously I must be trynna do better...because I actually attempted to cook over the weekend. When I went to O'Charley's this Saturday, I only ate one of those delicious roll and only ate half of my cajun chicken pasta. lol. And limited my alcoholic beverages to 3 long island iced teas.......Yep I'll count that as a weekend victory.  Go Me... Sunshyne Out.
