I feel good about today! Oh, I also had afternoon coffee (snap!)

I read this from a text book of a friend of mine who is taking a nutrition class in nursing school. Anyway, I might do half Truvia/half Splenda. Not that y'all care. ;)

OK, off to go watch "After the Final Rose"...Awkward City, here I come!!!

Days 26, 27, & 28

Hey guys...so I have been super busy having fun with Becca who is in town this weekend. I will say, I did well on Friday & Saturday (eating & exercise), and today was my free day. Unless anyone demands me to write it out for Friday & Saturday, I'll just start back tomorrow. J's little buddy spent the night Friday night, and Becca got here Saturday morning. We have had so much fun, and I hate for her to leave tomorrow! =(

Anyway, today was weigh day, and I've lost .5 lb. I will say I cheated at some point during the week and weighed and was at a 9 lb. loss, so I've lost between .5 and 1 lb. this week. I'm not really expecting to lose much more, maybe a couple pounds, but I'm expecting to TONE!! I'm so glad the gym's childcare will be back up and running this week. They were shut down Tuesday and Wednesday of last week due to construction. That was annoying!

Anyway, see y'all tomorrow! :)

Day 25

B: low sugar oatmeal, McD's coffee w/ 1 crm--160
S: none...really haven't been too hungry today...maybe b/c of my lil' fiesta last night...
L: Lean Pocket, salsa, Diet Green Tea, water--300
S:100 cal pack (x2)...y'all this was a product of our ~4 hours in the car from the time we left our house to get Kyle to the time we got back home...yes, I almost went crazy and we were all starving. Bad Bad Bad. Bad weather, bad drivers, wrecks all over town, yikes. --200
D: 2 whole wheat tortillas, 1/2 c. black beans, 3 T salsa, 1/3 c. mozzarella cheese, crust from J's pizza--460

Total: 1120

Exercise: 30 mins. elliptical, legs, abs/sides (didn't do as many leg exercises as I would have liked to, oh well.)

Today was not a great eating day as far as the quality of the food was concerned. Time for another grocery run. Kyle has discovered a love for frozen fruit and has put a huge dent (almost taken out) my stash. Hey, I'm not complaining. Just glad he's eating fruit that's not in a can in heavy syrup. Progress! :)

Day 24

I decided to call today an "IMPROMPTU CELEBRATORY FREE DAY!"

All sorts of fun things happened today, so when we headed to Berryhill's at Market Street on our way to the Coldplay concert, I didn't hesitate to throw calorie counting out the window. And it felt good. Chips, salsa, green dip, and amazing fish tacos thank you very much. I also helped Kyle with his milkshake from Johnny Rockets. It was good. No guilt involved. Just pure fun.

PS - Thanks for the encouragement yesterday! :) I shook it off and really feel much better!

Day 23

B: 1/2 English muffin, 1 T Red. fat peanut butter, coffee (black), and 1/2 c. blueberries--200
S: 90 calorie bar, Diet Green Tea--100
L: Chick-Fil-A: 1/2 Spicy Cool Wrap (no dressing), fruit cup, unsweetened tea--300
S: 9 shrimp sauteed in the PPC salsa (do you see a pattern of addiction?), 1 serving RF Wheat Thins--270
D: grilled chicken strips, 1/4 c. brown rice, green beans--250
S: watermelon--50

Total: 1170

Exercise: 30 mins. elliptical, back & bicep exercises, abs/sides

Today I was discouraged b/c I am SO close to my PPW but am not feeling like I look like I did then or EVER will! Haha. I fit in my clothes, and they are even baggy in the thighs (a lot of them), so "things" have evidently shifted. So much for having a wardrobe waiting on me when I lost my weight! I need all new clothes. Might as well wait and buy maternity with the next pregnancy whenever that is...can you tell I'm bitter today? Haha! I'll get over it! I'm happy about my progress and know it can only get better from here! :) Those babies are worth it FOR SURE. I wouldn't trade that little guy for the best body in the world! Besides, can't take this body with me. Hehe. Might as well do what I can and just BE HAPPY! :) Same goes for you!

Day 22

B: english muffin, 1/4 c. egg whites, coffee w/ crm and Truvia--170
S: none...woke up late today and had late b'fast before gym. LOTS of water during workout and after.
L: amazing turkey wrap I concocted w/ a whole wheat tortilla, sliced turkey, 1 T. mozz. cheese, roasted squash and zucchini cut up, and peach pineapple chipotle salsa (HOLLA!)...I browned this little baby in the skillet and it was the crispiest yummiest wrap I've ever tasted...sorry I got a little excited--240, Diet Green Tea--10
S: 90 cal. Special K bar (Peaches and berries)...evidently I have a thing for peaches these days...90
D: Lean Cuisine Pizza, watermelon--400
S: Probably more watermelon...y'all, I've been eating off the same watermelon for DAYS...well, J has been helping me a good bit. We are really trying hard...we have a whole half left! It is so good! I'll be sad when it's gone.--100

Total cals. today: 1010

Workout: 30 min. total body interval, chest, shoulders, triceps, abs, sides. Also a 30 min. walk with Jackson. It felt like fall tonight! Yay! I can't wait for football season and to be able to walk with my little guy during the day!! Fall + a toddler = sweet, sweet precious times in store. Ah!

Day 21

Free day/weigh day!

I lost one more pound this week, so I'm up to an eight pound loss! Woo hoo! My new goal is to lose 3-4 more pounds by this time next month! I think I can do it! So by the time Jackson is 15 months I could lose all my baby weight! Haha!

I thoroughly enjoyed free day! Pizza and ice cream, what more does a girl need?

Day 20

B: coffee w/ crm, Multi Grain Cheerios w/ WHOLE milk...(yes, you read that right. J's whole milk carton busted last night and Kyle poured all of it into the almost empty 1% gallon without telling me...haha...I wondered why that was the best bowl of cereal I've ever had. Thank God he told me before I slurped up what was left in the bowl! Haha!), 1/3 c. blueberries--255
S: None...we were out running the roads. :) Fun Saturday!
L: 1/2 whole wheat tortilla, asparagus stir-fry, grilled chicken strips, salsa, diet Green Tea--195
S: yogurt--100, water
D: Tilapia fillet, roasted squash and zucchini, 1/2 c. brown rice, green beans--345
S: watermelon--100

total: 995 cals...I'm not reducing these on purpose. Ever since I started eating more of the stir fry and brown rice mixture (thanks to Kayla), I've been staying so full. The full fat soy yogurt is also way more filling than the Light varieties (in my opinion.) I've also started back with the Green Tea (an old trick from pre Jackson days), and that seems to help. I've also worked out every day since Sunday, so that has really helped my overall feeling of fullness. It has been a good week!

Exercise: 3o mins. elliptical, 10 mins. bike (medium pace), total body strength training (I literally did all the machines in our gym...haha), abs/sides.

I'm so happy that working out is a habit again. It takes a lot of dedication when you travel a lot, but I think I'm good for it. :) I have about 4-5 more pounds to lose before I'm at my pre-pregnancy weight, but after that I'll switch from weight loss mode to maintaining/toning mode. My clothes are FINALLY fitting after 14 months! Better late than never, I guess.

Day 19

B: whole wheat tortilla, 1/4 c. egg whites, salsa, 1/2 c. blueberries, coffee with 1 cream & 3 Splenda (Mc D's)--175
S: Diet Green Tea--10
L: Lean Pocket, watermelon--340
S: yogurt--100
D: Gringo's with friends!-- a bite of Kyle's ice cream and 2 chips with green sauce (that was for you, April! ;) ), chicken fajita salad (with no shell, guac, sour cream or cheese) & salsa for dressing--350
S: watermelon--50

Total for today: 1025

Today's exercise: 23 mins. elliptical, back and biceps exercises with 5 lb. weights (higher reps. due to low weight) and exercise band, abs exercises. I was proud of myself for doing all of this at home before Jackson woke up. It was hard getting up, though. Pfpfhfhf!

Day 18

Hey y'all!

B: whole wheat english muffin, 1/4 c. egg whites, 1 c. blueberries, coffee w/ Truvia, water--220
S: watermelon, diet green tea--50
L: whole wheat tortilla (carb smart, fajita size) w/ asparagus stir-fry, grilled chicken strips, and 3 T salsa--220
S: water, yogurt (soy)--100
D: tilapia fillet, 1/2 c. black beans, 1/3 c. brown rice, steamed broccoli--310
S: watermelon--50

Total: 950

Today's workouts: 25 mins. elliptical, various shoulder/chest/tricep exercises on the exercise ball with 5 lb. weights (had to squeeze in a workout at home instead of the gym today since we were going to the pool), abs/sides

I'm amazed at how easy this is! Now that I'm in the habit of exercising again (it takes 21 days to make a habit but only 7 days to break one...does anyone know if that's really true? Sounds believable to me!), I crave it! Sure does help keep me feeling positive, too! Gotta love those "happy endorphins" exercising releases! ;)

Anyway, thank you for helping me. I seriously resist things (most days) so that I won't have to tell you I ate them. Haha!

***I am posting this now so that I don't have to do it later, so I promise I'll fess up if things don't go as planned. I'm pretty confident they will, though.

Days 16 & 17

Day 16:

B: Nature's Valley Crunch granola bar--200, coffee w/ Truvia
S: 100 cal pk.
L: Lean Cuisine pizza, yogurt--490
S: Crystal Light Popsicle, Diet Green Tea--30
D: ... ... ... let's see, I had a few bites of roast while I was cooking Kyle's birthday dinner, a few bites of homemade mashed potatoes while I was trying to figure those out, some summer salad with candied pecans and feta cheese, etc., a bite of cookie cake and ice cream...So um yeah, I'm not really sure what to say. ;)


The total value of yesterday's calories is: unknown. haha. What IS known is that everything that was consumed was delicious. ;) I'm sorry if my tendency to slack off is discouraging to any of you. I have to keep it real if this is going to be a lifestyle for me, or else I will crash and burn; however, I did promise to be stricter on myself for one month, so I'm going to that. I promise. Really, I've done great. A girl can't serve roast and mashed potatoes in her own home without tasting them first. Or cookie cake. Or strawberry salad. Or ice cream. You really just don't know when Blue Bell is gonna screw up.

Yesterday's workout: 30 mins. cardio--total body interval (really had to push myself, felt good.), back, biceps, abs

D: grilled chicken strips, asparagus stir fry, brown rice--285
S: 2 whole strawberries, watermelon--100

total calories: 970

today's workout: cardio (10 mins on 3 diff. machines: elliptical (the one I call the sand machine--the stride is a little diff.), bike (upright), bike (legs out front), quad presses, hip abductors (inner & outer)

I am feeling so good about my workouts this week! So glad to be back in the habit of exercising! I missed it sooo much!!!

Day 15

I accidentally just posted this on my other Blog...oops. How embarrassing, haha! Oh well. I deleted it.

Today was a GOOD day! I'm a little low on the cals, but I've eaten a lot and I don't feel hungry, so I'm not going to worry with it.

S: yogurt--100 (it was Soy and not too bad.)
D: green beans, turkey breast, 100 cal. pk (Boston Market--they had the nutritional info. I was surprised/excited to see that the beans were not soaked in butter or whatever and the turkey was pretty dry. I guess that's usually not a good thing, but to me it meant no yucky oily/buttery stuff. It tasted pretty good, too. I had a little help eating it (Jackson...;) .) Oh, and the 100 cal. pack was eaten in the car before going in b/c I wasn't expecting to find anything decent.)--340

Total cals for today: 855

Also had lots of water today. Not sure how much. Definitely 64 oz., prob. more.

Today's workout: 30 mins. elliptical, chest, shoulders, triceps, abs/sides

If I get hungry while I'm cleaning, I might eat some fruit. Since I'm so under today, I won't worry about fessing up about it.

Hope you had a great day. If not, there's always tomorrow! Don't forget to work on your inner beauty/fitness, too! It's the only one that really counts. :)

Day 14

Hope you had a great day worshiping the Lord! :)

Sunday is usually my free day, but since I'm just coming off vacation, I'm really ready to get back into my groove. And I think I'm changing my free day to Friday. It just makes more sense b/c it's more fun to be bad on Friday or Saturday. ;)

Today's meals:

B: 1 c. Cheerios (honey nut), coffee (black, with Truvia)--140
S: none (in church)
L: 2/3 c. brown rice--150, 5 shrimp & 3 grilled chicken strips (sauteed in spray butter & Tony's)--140, 3/4 c. broccoli--30, 1/2 c. blackberries--45, water (16 oz.)
S: 2 of Jackson's little animal cookies, Crystal Light popsicle, Wheat Thins--175 (not snacking in the morning was not a good idea b/c I got super hungry later even with my good meal for lunch!)
D: Weight Watchers meal, Sugar Free apple cider--375
S: 2 whole wheat tortillas w/ mozzarella cheese, salsa--300 (yikes!...I SO didn't wanna tell y'all that!)

Today's exercise: 28 mins interval workout on elliptical, abs/sides exercises (20 mins.), plus the little impromptu dance party J & I had while Kyle was napping on the floor. ;)

Day 13

OK, sorry again guys for the inconsistency! I'm back. Jackson and I got into Houston tonight. It feels good to be home, but I miss the beach and my family so much already! :)

The good news is...I'm up to a 7 pound loss! That is of course since Kayla and I started this a month ago. I wanted to lose between 5 and 8 pounds during the first month of this new eating/working out lifestyle, so I've reached my first goal! Yay for that!

Today was not the best of days as far as eating goes...I was on the road for most of it and did NOT want to eat fast food...not even the good stuff (Subway, etc.) So I made a big mistake and just snacked all day. Oops. Oh well, we will say it was my free day?

Anyway, I'll tell you anyway.

B: english muffin (140) & coffee (10)
S: yogurt (60), sugar free caramel mochassippi (y'all I had to...I'm only in BR every now and then!--(180)
L: fiber one bar (140)
S: 100 cal pk, fiber one bar (yes, another one. haha. 240)
D: 9 shrimp, 1 c. broccoli (120)

Total for the day: 890

...and I'm done for the day. Not many calories, a lot of sugar, not even really a full meal (except for dinner), but oh well. We made it home from BR safely, and I didn't have to eat fast food. ;)

For real this time, I'm back in the swing of things tomorrow.

As far as workout goes, I may do elliptical when J goes to bed. If not, oh well. Didn't we say it was my free day?

=)

I'm baaacck!

OK so I'm not back in Houston yet, but I'm almost there. Made a little pit stop in BR since the traffic was HORRENDOUS in BR and it was so late already. J-man was asleep at 7, and we are planning on heading out early in the morning.

I'm not posting today...too tired and still in vacation mode. ;) I just wanted you to know that I didn't mean to drop off the face of the Blog earth like I did. My Internet access escaped me at the beach (*oh, darn!*), so I couldn't post. I am happy to say that I MOSTLY stayed on track. I did totally enjoy splurging a couple times at the beach. I won't lie to you. Even with my splurges, I was waaay better than I had been doing before this challenge. I'm sooooooooooooo sad to be home from the beach, but I'm looking forward to seeing Kyle and to getting back into my regular routine.

Be back in the swing of things tomorrow! :)

Day 6

Can I tell y'all HOW HARD this is with all kinds of dips/chips/crackers etc. lying around this beach condo??? Well, it's hard. But I'm pressing toward the goal. KS has officially lost 10 pounds now, and that is my motivation to keep going. AKA--my accountability partner is leaving me in the dust. But I'm working hard and feel good about my progress!! :) I won't be able to weigh until next Saturday when I'm back in H-town. PS - KS and I have been doing this for 22 days now, so don't freak thinking something crazy is going down! Haha.

OK after writing that I realized I deserved to be on the high end today. I wouldn't have been able to keep going without a few extra cals. 

Worked on my inner beauty today, too. FIRST. Quiet time on the balcony...lovely. 

Happy 4th. I can't believe I've been on the computer twice so far at the beach! I gotta go before I melt or something. This just isn't allowed.

Pray for my little family! J and I are leaving for the beach with my family tomorrow, which I am soo very excited about, but this will be the looooooongest I've ever been away from Kyle in the 8 years I've known him!

I'm going to do my absolute best to post at the beach. I HATE any sort of technology while on vacation (it just doesn't seem right), but I'm totally committed to doing this, and I don't want to let myself--or you--down. :) And, yes, I'm going to stay on my diet on vacation. Y'all, I have too. I've waited around too long and can't afford to take off a whole week. I'll def. give myself a FREE DAY!!! Gotta have that. Did I mention that in the rules? Cuz it's so Rule #4. I usually have my free day on Sundays, but in this case, I'll do it on the 7th day, so that will end up being--haha--Sunday! Yay! I'm totally a creature of habit, so y'all don't know how happy that just made me.

Wow. I need to go to bed.
