Been away a long time

I haven't blogged anything in a few months. I just got consummed by the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I have not been very faithful to dieting or exercising. In fact, I just had a laprascopic supracervical hysterectomy. I'm feeling great with the exception of this chronic heartburn. All I can come up with is that there is just not enough room at the inn for eating too much. I really believe losing weight this year was impossible because of the hormones I was putting in my body. I feel like now, I won't have as many issues. We'll see. I'm looking forward to what could happen. Here's hoping!!!

Happy Monday!!

It's always hard to start off our weeks! Here we go!!! Today, for me, was a typical day. My day at work was same as usual...busy. I always get excited about coming home and getting ready for my Cardio Blast Class! I love teaching! Tonight...I gave it all I had! I tried to make this a very tough workout! I think it was! I know right now I'm tired! I came home and ate a piece of peanut butter toast with some chicken salad. I know this sounds gross, but I feel anything with peanut butter is always good! Great source of protein!!!! I also had a protein shake.

I did a little lifting before my class! I have to say I really think I'm getting stronger! I really feel like this is happening for me. The scale has not been the kindest and it is NOT going down as fast as I would like it to, but I feel really strong and healthy!!

I actually have to say, this is the best I've felt in about 8 months! I love feeling strong and powerful!

Keep working with me!!
Good Health!

February 12th, Friday

This week has been pretty good as far as exercising is concerned. I had a couple of snow days this week. I haven't been really strick with my eating this week, but I have certainly been more conscious of my choices. I am in to the organic foods. I have examined my past eating trends, and I've come up with that I have eaten all kinds of junk. Why do we put so much mystery shit in our bodies????? We put in all this mystery stuff...sodas, artifical sugars, and other processed crap...and then we hope our bodies will do something great with the mystery chemicals. How is that so?
I want to be better about my eating choices!!!! My goal!

I also just ordered the Insanity workout. I am hoping that is fun and am planning on stealing some of the ideas for my classes.....hehehe!

This is the coldest day since January 10th....if you live in Indiana...we have winter until the middle of April.

Good Health all!!!

Grrrrrrrrrr! Stress SUCKS!

Okay, okay....last week the stress was piled on high. Shit...this week it is NOOOOO better. My family stresses me out! I really want to drink and eat until I find a comfortable place. I realize this is wrong. I get to the place of I don't give a fuck. I just want the shit to go away. I know this is not me being positive, but this is life. We all have people in our lives that suck the goodness out it. They drain us of our well being. I need a vacation from the vampires. Okay...I'm just bitching now. I know, I know....but I have to just let it out. Maybe I'll feel like I can let it go. Maybe? My diet has been crap...I'm totally unfocused. I can't concentrate on what people are saying when I am home. I want to carve out my own space sometimes....this is no reflection on the wonderful people I share my home and life with. This is about me and my stress level. It is high right now. I am really hoping for a relaxing weekend. I have decided that I am going cellphone free. I am NOT taking my phone with me places. I am going to leave it home. If you want to talk to me, you'll have to call me at home. My wonderful children will be with their dad all weekend....that leaves me to my own devices.....hahahaha!
I have decided that when I am stressed...this is not good for the diet. GRRRRRR!
We will get through this! I know this shall pass!
Good Health!

Last day of January

It has been about four weeks that I have been working hard on getting more fit. I have found this last week to be the worst one yet. I have had to give aerobics on Tuesday. Patrick,my son, had a basketball game on Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday of this past week. All three of those days prevented me from working out. To me that makes for some stress. I really need to work out to keep the sanity. I don't know about you all, but working out keeps me centered. I have worked hard this week too at eating more organic. I have,however, drank more liquor this week too. Sheesh. I swear it is a balance. The more working out...the less liquor.
I have probably gained this week, but I only worked out one day. Weird???
I have to go.
This is how my week has gone. Totally not about what I need or want!
Good health!

Monday, January 25th

It has been a couple of days since i've blogged. I've had some time to think about things. I think I am going to wait on the hysterectomy. I think this is the best. I also have been working very hard this weekend. I have had two bad days last week and I'm hoping that tomorrow goes well (my weigh-in day). This is my 3rd week of working hard.

I have read an interesting book. It is written by the trainer from the biggest loser!!! It is how our hormones effect our metabolism. I never read 6 chapters of anything, but the information is so interesting. It talks about the foods we eat and how they mess with our metabolism.
Here is a highlight of the big NO,NO's according to the book: Do not skip meals, you must trick your body into thinking it is not starving.
Eat organic! We are putting way too many processed things in our body! I believe this to be true! If something has too many chemicals and you can't pronounce them...you should not eat them.
The last thing....stop eating "diet" food...it contains way too many processed foods. I have always thought this about cokes. What the hell is it anyway????? We know where orange juice comes from, wine and milk. But where does Coke come from?????
I already buy organic milk and eggs. I think I'm going to work a lot harder at eating organic meats and cheeses too.
Keep burning those calories!!!
Let's keep on track together!
It takes time!!
Good Health!
