Flip Da Switch

I actually think my mindset is changing. Me....avid coffee-drinker....has had no problem dropping the coffee this week. Think I was drinking it more out of habit than anything. It was just part of my normal routine. And I decided to completely stop snacking and so far so good.... oh except that bite of brownie last night...my daughter decided to bake and it was just calling my name....ugh. But I'm finding that if I bring me some fruits to nibble on that I don't think of snacking... my downfall is chips...but I don't want to sabotage all the workouts I've actually done this week. I've had three active days in a row and today I will do some form of aerobic activity. Last week I only did two days or maybe it was three...hmmph all I know is it felt like a lackluster performance week. Now I know that weekdays are not my problem...the real test will be the weekend. We always eat out on the weekend....always. Fridays especially....But whether I do or not...I will at least continue to do the exercise and it'll only be one meal instead of the usual three meals on the go...oh lawd we were horrible. Small changes. One step at a time... I'll continue to build on it.

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 ...

Learning to Lift

Staying motivated to exercise is not my problem during this healthy life journey.... I went to my MMA fitness class last night and found it very difficult to lift my legs. I mean surely I could lift but not enough to clear a chair height while pivoting correctly. Ugh it was difficult. They made it look so easy too.... while I do understand that this is just my beginning classes, I really want to master some of the moves. When you learn to use your body weight correctly there is so much power behind your kicks and punches. I love the prospect of knowing the strength I am building while getting a great cardio workout....one class is a whopping 800 calorie workout. Here is the practice move for this week, which is alot harder than it appears....The KickAzz Quest continues.....
