Day 6: TAKE THAT!!!

Today I woke up sleepy with a sore throat and lacking motivation. After taking my son to school I said ok just do it get it over with.
After the lunges in my work out I start to enjoy it lol I hate lunges! :/ haha.
then after my workout it was so pretty out I decided to jog/walk a mile. It hurt but felt good to be doing it. I will say it's hard breaking through your mental barriers. When I would hear that voice say "give up it hurts, I'm tired"

I would think to myself shut up b•Tch you can do this! Does that make me crazy? Lol!
 


 

Here is my breakfast for today:

One rasin cinnimon bagel with a strawberry cream cheese laughing cow wedge and half of a large green apple. it was pretty good.

Do you tell that little voice to shut up whether you're working out or doing.something your new at doing?




 TRUE!!!!! :)
 

 

Day 5: uh oh...

Today is day 5 and I didn't exercise :/ it was storming really bad with flooding. My hubby drug me out in this mess to look for an AC window unit,.ours broke!

If you live in TX you know what a scary situation this is lol!

 I did find my polar ft4 watch at academy I want it so bad! It monitors your heart and tells you how many calories you burn.

 oh! I said no to fast food today, ugh it killed me but I did it. Hubby asked me three times. Gosh I wanted McDonalds French fries and double cheese burger so bad! Mmmm :D

                        

How was your day? Did you exercise and drink your water?

Day 4: I still made it!! (1-8-13)

It's been raining like crazy here! So you know what that means.... Lazy, lazy, sleepy day for me even my cat was laying with me.

 I kept saying oh ill take a day off but then I was like no! Get up and do it!
 


 

 I am happy that I stuck to my plan.

Does the rain make you lazy?

Day 2:Balance (1-6-13)

Today is day two of my workout journey. Balance is such a difficult thing for me! Those who know me know that i am the most UN-balanced (is that even a word?) person! Seriously i cannot walk with out tripping,falling or running into something! ha ha

So today's struggle was balance with my lunges and Cris-cross squats ( I don't know the proper name. You Cris cross your legs one in front one in back and squat holding your weights out to your side) Yes, i make up my own names for things when I cant remember :) These things kick my butt!

Also I found a really good recipe on pinterest for apples.



Today I would like to introduce you to the most awesome raw apple snack ever. First a disclaimer, I am not liable if you decide to eat this apple snack every day for the rest of your life. A huge bowl of this apple snack was eaten by a group in minutes – it really is that good. And the best part? It takes only 3 fruits and 2 minutes prep to make

What’s even better about this snack is the healthy nutrition! You are eating a full apple plus the amazing juice of an orange and lemon. Think of the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and most of all…think of the children! This is a perfect after-school snack because it takes a minute to make and will give the kids an energy boost to do their homework and exercise

Raw Apple Snack Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1-2 apples – select a sweet apple like Fuji or Gala (I used Fuji)
• 1 medium orange
• 1 medium lemon

Prep:

• Juice lemon and orange into a small bowl
• Slice the apple into thin slices (see image below)
• Place slices into juice bowl and make sure the juice is all over the apple slices
• Place bowl in fridge for 30minutes-2 hours

Remove from fridge, serve and enjoy! Warning: contents are addicting!
Optional: you can use a green apple in place of one of the other apples to give the plate some contrast for your guests. The green apples (e.g. granny smith) will make the snack even more tart and should explode of awesomeness when you and your guests enjoy!

(the blog where i found the recipe: http://www.letstalkfitness.com/raw-apple-snack )

I would use half a lemon, it was too strong for me

What is your favorite snack?

 Today is day one of my Jillian Michael's biggest loser workout video.
I feel out of shape trying to do lunges! Lol!



I'm really excited to buy a polar heart rate monitor watch so I don't have to guess at how many calories I'm burning.
 



Have you started working out for the new year?

Im back b*tches!

Hello!  So.. where have I been? .... Where do I start? Last year was crazy!!! My son started school for the first time (kindergarten) We were sick continuously up until Christmas. I guess we weren't use to being exposed to so many germs.



I have been back on track eating healthy and recently started working out. I did forget to blog about my progress because  have been tracking my journey through a web site I am a mod for.

I will be posting my  past journals onto here then ill update daily (hopefully) maybe Ill even share some healthy recipes also.




For all of my viewers/readers? I want to say thank you and I will be more active! :)

Thanks for reading!
