Checking In...

Where have I been? I feel like such a bad blogger! Life has been a little crazy around here. I will post weigh in pictures tomorrow! (Pinky Promise!!)

Here is this week's schedule: 
Monday - rest 
Tuesday - gym (cardio)
Wednesday - gym (strength)
Thursday - gym (cardio)
Friday - gym (strength) 
Saturday - gym (cardio) 
Sunday - rest

How is everyone else doing with your lifestyle changes?

Warning: Contains Venting!

I get so frustrated when people say "this isn't working" "i'm not losing anything"...etc. We have all heard those words and may have even said them ourselves. (i have!) But it's the ones that sit there with a big.mac in one hand and fries in the other saying that! Well now when you have 1300 calories in one sitting while your not doing any type of exercise (other than everyday activities) IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK! The ones that want that simple pill that will make all the fat away. I don't understand. Life is not simple. Why take the easy way out? Why not work for something that you want so much?

I am by NO MEANS saying I am a professional or have not have rough days or even the slightest bit perfect!!! I have and will continue to have because it's my lifestyle not just a diet. If I have a rough day, I realize that I just need to put forth more effort the next day. I just get so frustrated with people complaining but yet they are not putting forth an effort.

Put forth the effort! Watch what you eat. Eat at home. Drink your water. Portion Control. Get out and get your body moving. It will take time and dedication but you have to work for it!


Note: This is not directed at anyone of my fellow bloggers. I am just venting. Please do not take it personally!

Week 3 - Motivational Monday!

Since my last post I have come to realize the motivation that I was lacking will just have to come back full force. It's time to GO BIG..or go home! Im GOING BIG! I took the first step today to get my motivation back and made it to the gym this morning by 7am! Go me! I am also heading back for another round at the gym today after the littles leave.

So as you may (or may not) notice, I did weigh in today..almost forgot! So I weighed in after breakfast this morning and about 3 hours later then normal. (shame! shame!) So I'm not sure how accurate this weigh in will be but it is a  -.4lbs so I'm happy with it either way. I am determined to do more then a .something next Monday!

The plan of attack for this week is:

Monday - Gym (7a) & (430p)
Tuesday - gym (7a)
Wednesday - Gym (430p)
Thursday - Gym (7a) & (430p)
Friday - Gym (430p)
Saturday - Gym
Sunday - Rest Day

Motivation...Where are you?

I am losing motivation. I'm losing the drive I had to get to the gym. I'm still eating semi good but there are days where I feel like I can't get full or even content enough after a meal.

I hate feeling like this. It makes me feel HORRIBLE. I just hope that motivation will come back to me SOON!!!

Week Two: Getting Back On Track

Down .2 lbs since last week. Not bad since all I did was eat and not exercise last week. (Thank you AF!)

Today is time to get back on track after last week!!

This week's goals:
-stay under 1300 calories (Are you on MyFitnessPal?)
-get back to my eating schedule
-Gym Days: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday
-30 Day Shred Days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday
-at least 64 oz of water
-lose this weight I have gained back!!! (the most important)

Get Fit Coast to Coast: Mini Challenge -
Drink only water! This will be easy. Thats all I do! :)


How is everyone else doing?!?

Week One: Done.

Yes, that's a 2.9 lb gain. Why? I would like to thank AF for being here with a vengeance. I am so bloated and it sucks. With the way that AF is; there is NO way I can get to the gym until she is gone. Let's hope that this month she doesn't want to stay long! :(

I hate this!

Day 1: Over and Out!

How did you do today on the first day of the Get Fit Coast to Coast Challenge?

Here's what my day looked like:
Breakfast -
1c multigrain cheerios
1/2c strawberries

Morning Snack-
Mozzarella Cheese Stick
Low fat S'mores granola bar

Lunch -
1 1/4c Asian Salad
1oz Veggie Straws

Dinner - 
1 1/4c Asian Salad
Peanut Butter and Tortilla roll up

Total Calories: 1204

I also made it to the gym today, even though it wasn't a planned gym day. BONUS! I did a 30 min cardio session. 15 mins on the treadmill fluctuation between 3.5 and 4.0mph and 15 mins on the elliptical. According to MFP if I would eat like today everyday I would lose 15 lbs in 5 weeks. Lets see how accurate it is!


Good Luck Everyone! Here's to tomorrow!!
