Vacay From Real Life.... I'm Back!

OK so yes I've been on vacation in the Bahamas for the last week.... and now that i've laid out being lazy, eating whatever i felt like eating -- I can now say 'Damn it's gonna be hard to get back into my exercise and eating right". I mean if this is a lifestyle change, then why was it so easy to take a vacay from eating healthy and staying active. I hate when I have this big ass revelation after the fact....I hate I couldn't convince myself to act right in the first place. But what I realize is this: it's natural to take a mental vacation from the normal routine....I just should have found other ways to do it. It's all about how you make it work. So instead of walking 3 miles.... I should have taken a stroll around the deck. There were plenty of activities such as basketball, powerwalking, and rock climbing; and some I did engaged in such as dancing, walking, and paddle boating. Sometimes when we take a break from our regular fitness routine, we can come back mentally and physically stronger and ready to take on any new athletic challenge.  I don't think your body changes drastically in a 7-day period, but staying on course with your decision to adapt a healthy lifestyle should still be maintained even on vacation just to keep your momentum and mentality in tact.  My hard-earned time working out afforded me some margin of indulgence but it shouldn't have been a free-for-all.  I think I walked away from it all refreshed and ready to tackle a new day.     -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.
