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.

    I just wanted to pop in and say hey! Thanks for commenting on the Attune blog post. Weekends are so hard to handle - many people, myself included, find the weekdays easier to handle because of the predictable schedule. You can do this!

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.....
