Da Real Challenge - Da Weekend!

ok...Made it to Friday....(TGIF) I can be VERY disciplined during the week...I mean going to work puts you on an easy workable schedule. My hardest part was packing/planning my breakfast and lunch. Even dinners went smoothly. I baked meat so each night I only had to figure out what sides to go along. I ate fruits instead of chips...limited coffee and drank plenty of water......But here comes the weekend...that's usually when I go buck fuck wild. It's not unusual for me to eat out all three days of the weekend...and I guess that would be fine if I choose wisely but I don't...I get the cheesy appetizer, the overportioned entree and 3 alcoholic beverages...but hey I didn't say dessert...lol. But anyway...this weekend I probably will have one cheat meal...but I won't have a cheat day. Hey baby steps!! We all gotta crawl before we walk.

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.....
