Good afternoon and Happy Super Bowl Sunday!!! This morning I decided that I was not going to make a dip or a pan of brownies, I wanted something different to bring. So I found an awesome recipe on Brandi_Vaage's Blog, and I so made it!!!!!!! I can't believe I actually made a recipe from scratch! Most of all its was fun and easy Im super excited to see what everyone has to say about the fantastic yumminess. Best of all its healthy so when I eat one I wont feel guilty.
However, Miss Alexia decided to make this thinking she had all the time in the world. I was screwing around watching TV and then I decided to hit the road and run. Happy I got 2 miles in 19 minutes! I only had time for two miles, more to come tommorow. Super excited because my Nike Plus said my average mile was 9:49min/mi!!!!! thats the best I have ever done, rock on!!!
Alrighty I have thirty minutes to get in the shower, ready and off to my sisters, bad thing is it takes me literally thirty minutes to get to her place...lol. So im going to be fashionably late!
This morning I had to wake up at 6:15 in the morning to get to my sisters house and help her with her garage sale. Yeah, I gotta love her alot since its Saturday and all I wanted to do was go to sleep! Got to my sisters and being outside at 7 in the morning in the garage, cold made me want to go inside all the time. So I decided the only way im going to get inside is to do something inside....like COOK! So I decided to cook everyone breakfast! After making plate after plate, lets not remind myself that everyone wanted something different, but I was cooking away for an hour! Staying nice and warm
I woke up this morning with my throat hurting, please, oh please, I dont want to be getting sick!!!! STAY AWAY SICK BUGS!!!!!!!! I hope they go away, lol.
I have nothing planned for today, but stay at home and possibly go to dinner with my sister and her family.
My goal today is to workout and eat healthy, tommorow is Super Bowl and I know there is going to be lots of food so im giving myself tommorow to be bad, okay well not bad but im allowed some splurges!
Talking about super bowl im in charge of Dips, however I dont want to be the lady that just gets the dip in the jar, even though those are good but I want to make something, gotta look for some recipies!
Yes its that time again!! A new month is upon us!! I love the start of a new month, it just reminds me of starting fresh and to keep on going. No matter what has happened in the past month its behind us now and we can only look to the future and live in the now :)
Today my class got canceled! WOOOHOO!!! I was not really looking forward to it this week. So instead I came home and relaxed watching movies and just being a bum, doing nothing. I plan on having a nice and relaxing day today. Not working out today, but thats okay. I have worked out all this week!!!! I plan on working out tommorow and then resting again on Sunday.
I was thinking today, and I think I did great for the month of Jan. I dont like to say I started a diet (I dont like the word) but rather I started watching what I was eating and taking everything in moderation. I started exercising again, and let me tell you for me that was tough one especially since I had taken such a long break from working out in general. I started back to my routine on the 15th! So its been 2 1/2 weeks since starting and Im happy to say im amazed at how much better I feel. Granted I had to start over I didn't lose my knowledge on eating healthier, I just got lazy!
Im going to keep on pushing and Im going to shoot for the stars, who says I cant have them!
My only goals this month;
To eat healthy, and exercise, and to keep on learning
Happy First day of Feb!!!!! Lets make this month a good one!!!! I can feel it in my bones, lol
This morning, I went with my sister to go and help her with the kids and run some errands. There I was sitting in the car, my stomach is growling so loud and the loudness is speaking to me saying "feed me". I made a comment about how I was hungry and she said oh good were going to Burger King. We stopped at Burger King and as much as I wanted to eat I refused to eat Fast Food. I just didnt want it, It looked my striaght in the eye, telling me to take one bite. Whats one bite? NO!!!! I can't!! The Alexia two weeks ago would have been like YEAH, but the Alexia today, needs to realize that one bite may satisfy for one minute but after that it would be guilty as charged. So afterwards I had Subway, feeling much happier, I felt proud, that I gave up fast food for something healthier!
I went in my closet and tried on some old pants and im happy to say they close and zip, PHEW! However, I could use a little more room, if ya know what I mean, lol!
Im cleaning my carpet today, I decided last minute to do it myself because I could use the extra workout.
My muscles are incredibly sore! Everything is sore, my arms and my legs hurt the most. Come to think I use them the most so its even worst. I know as much as I want to just sit at home and watch TV all day, im going to get my butt in the gym. Yes even if it takes me five mintues to sit down, without making faces
I went to Target last night and bought a new exercise DVD. I have heard so much about the FIRM that I thought I would give it a try. I loved it!!!! I bought the Fat Burning CD! I tried it without the weights but im excited to try it with weights!
I found this video on YouTube and it made me crack. If only working out on the treadmill was really that fun!
Thats my new goal. To not eat and stand. If I want to eat, I better be sitting down. Why this crazy rule!? Well usually like clockwork around four or five I get the munchies! Bad, bad munchies. The kind where you see yourself at the pantry trying to see what food pops out at you. I did this last night and frankly I cant do this. Thankfully I sat down and looked over my food choices. Im making this my new goal. If I want to eat, I must sit down. That means if I get a sample somewhere or im standing in front of the pantry again, I either need to sit down. Usually by that time I realize what im doing and I step forward and say "no thanks".
Im feeling pretty good right now. I looked at my calendar this morning and exactly today It has been two weeks since starting my new fitness and eating regime. Im feeling better and better as each day goes by. Only thing I wish I had was a gym membership. I want to get one and was going to but money has me saving every penny I have.
I forgot to write down my goals so here it is a little late
Try not to eat out but once this week, lets see if I can do it!
Thats right you are seeing it correctly! I have admired time after time those Betty Crocker...Warm Delights. But everytime I look at them at the store and I see the nutrional content on those suckers, I put them right back where I found them. Yes I have even seen the 150 mini ones, but in reality they just look so darn small, I said eh its not worth it. When I want my chocolate, I want it to be darn right worth every calorie! So I waited it out praying that someone out there would make a healthier version of Betty Crocker and BAM my prayers did get answered. At least one of them, yeah I had more.....the guiltless burger! I can dream! I came across the Guiltless Gourmet Chocolate Dessert Bowls!!!!! Only 200 calories and very yummy!!! I have only tried the Black Velvet Cake and let me tell you from my experience the darn thing is worth every calorie!!!! Best of all its all with natural ingriedents! You can have your cake and eat it too!!!!
Eating has been on plan! Yes!!! Went out to lunch and even with the temptation of fries in front of me I looked strong at those suckers and said no baby, you aint going to my hips!
Went and exercised today, elipitcal and weights. Im off to a good Monday!
Last night I went to my sisters house and had a family dinner with her In-laws. Its was lots of fun playing guitar hero and talking with everyone. Of course there was lots of food, just like any event, but I did good! I allowed myself to have chips and dip because I would go crazy if I didn't just have a couple. The main course was meatloaf and eggplant which by the way was not the best thing I have eaten. I guess I dont like eggplant.
I have decided to weigh myself in Feb, have not decided a date yet. I just think it would give me room to not get so stressed out with the progress and understand it takes time to change old habits.
Im on the hunt for a pilates DVD to workout to. I need to balance my running with something like pilates and I loved it when I would go to my gym and take the class, so im going to try and find a good DVD. Any suggestions?
Im addicted to Guitar Hero!!! I played last night while at my sisters! I played with her son who is eight and we played for three hours. By the end of the second hour my fingers were hurting and I could feel new muscles being born in my arms, lol. I will tell you that playing guitar hero made me not think of why I was feeling blue.
Im feeling much better, thank you! Today I have alot of cleaning to do and getting everything ready for Monday, so I wont be all rushed on Sunday.
Tonight Im going to a dinner with my sister and her In-laws. Im pretty excited about this. Plan on eating well and not off plan.
Last night was my "splurge day" considering I had a bunch of oreos while playing guitar hero.
Im not in a really good mood and im just feeling blue. I feel like all my hard work with eating right and exercising is not paying off. I know its just one of those days but gosh I hate it. I hate having those days. Im trying so hard to not go the pantry or go and crash into a bundle of junk food. I know that I can't see all the weight I have gained off in a week. I have to give my body time to adjust! I need to change my attitude and just keep pushing through...sorry for my rant.
Nothing planned for tonight, just going to my sisters to help her decorate her house, before her In-laws come in. I laugh at this because she does this each and every time they come over. Maybe when I get married I will be the same way, lol.
I need to go and relax, I will be back later to check on you all.
Im super excited to see what everyone has to say about the fantastic yumminess. Best of all its healthy so when I eat one I wont feel guilty.
I hope they go away, lol.
