Planning to Plan it Out

Not only do I have to plan when it comes to getting healthy but I have to set aside some time to plan this plan. I can't just aimlessly go to the grocery store...I have to plan the meals for the week and then go...otherwise when I'm in the kitchen without all my healthy choices then I just have to grab the chips or fry french fries instead...you know I have to. And if I don't sit down to plan my week out, then I'll be running late each morning with my normal dress routine and not have time to cook or prepare my healthy thought out breakfast and just be forced to stop at Mickey D for a McGriddle or head down to the Kay Kafe for grits, eggs, and fatback bacon.... see that's what happen to me when I fail to plan. If I continue to fail to plan then I am setting myself up for failure. No doubt. So next time I'm chillax'n watching a lil tube, I'll break out the planner and a pen and make it a productive hour. Sunshyne Out.

  1. Thank you for the nice comment you left me! That really made my day! I'm doing a Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 challenge (well it wasn't a challenge at first..only for myself but it's turned into a challenge!) starting May 1st! She does have modifications if you want to jump on board? Do what you can and watch things start to change! Keep blogging too, it'll help with some of the frustration if the scale stops moving!

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...

21 Day Fix Overview - Week 1

In my case, I am in the 1,200 to 1,499 calorie range! That allows me 3 green (veggies) 2 purple (fruits), 4 Red (protein) 2 Yellow (starchy carbs) 1 Blue (nuts, ect) 1 Orange (nuts and dressings) 2 spoons (nut butters, olive oil). You are provided with a list of foods that you can eat that corresponds with each container. I love it because I can easily pick from each list and create a meal plan for the week. I love that the foods are listed in order of importance. So the higher on the list the foods are the more nutritionally sound they are! Of course you should have a variety of foods from the lists to give you variety of nutrients for your body. I am a plan it out type of girl so this works wonderfully. I have not been eating out of the containers, but I measure and pour onto my plate. Now I’m kinda getting use to amounts so I know about 3 chicken strips equal a red container, that approximately 5-8 strawberries will fit into a purple container, etc. Surprisingly each time I ...

Still Truckin' along

Dang it's been a minute since I've blogged...Over a month. I enjoyed the 5 weeks for structured bootcamp. Something about knowing my exact schedule was exactly what I needed. Her meal plans were easy to follow although I didn't follow them on most days. In the end I didn't lose any weight but I lost 3 inches in my thighs and almost 3 inches in my waist so it was worth it to me. The first week without the camp schedule I was totally lost on what to do.....just winging it. At the job, they have opened up a nice fitness wellness center. It's the place to be right now so very overcrowded. My first experience at the beginners Zumba class was horrible.....she was so uncoordinated and appeared to not know her own routine. Yesterday I attended the Bootcamp Training Class and it was GREAT. We jogged, did squats, planks, mountain climbers, high knees and other things that had me sweating my weave out. I loved it. And although I hate to hang around till 6 after work, I think t...
