T25 Starts

Ok, I'm sorry it's been a while since I've posted, but in all honesty there hasn't been that much to post about.  I will give you a sum up of what's been going on. 

I have been slacking on my workouts, but eating has still been mostly healthy (I'm proud to say).  I have started the T25 workout program from Beachbody yesterday.  The program is healthy eating and 25 minutes 5x a week workouts.  There is absolutely NO slacking in the workouts.  I did my first one last night while dinner was cooking and it was a non-stop 25 mins straight of cardio, heart pumping cardio.  I honestly have to say it was hard, but I felt great afterwards and I cannot wait for Day 2 tonight.  I got on the scale yesterday morning for the first time in weeks and was kinda disappointed in what it said (258.1), but I know a lot of it had to do with water weight.  I got on the scale again this morning just for shits N giggles and it said 253.1 so 5 lbs down from yesterday I would definitely say YES it was water retention. 

Other things that have happened since my last post.  I have received another job offer and I start 9/22/14 and I am very excited.  This is going to be a great opportunity for myself and I can advance myself in other things (not to mention the pay was way better then now, $7,000 raise).  The new company has so much more to offer me for the future and I hope I do well and this will become a place I can retire from (Oh my, I don't want to think that I'm getting old).  So this week I am saying farewell to my current employer. 

The trio are loving school (Pre-K & preschool).  They are learning so much already.  I'm so proud of them.  Addisyn has started tap/ballet this past Saturday and she did really good for her first day.  The boys have been asking what they are going to do (since Addi had dance class) so we are looking to see if there are any soccer leagues still open.  

Well folks that's about all right now!  I will update more (I will be really busy starting next week with the new job) but I will try to get on at night time and update on how my T25 is going for the next 10 weeks. 

Until next time.......

Day 1 of round 2 of the 21 Day fix

Today is the day, the day to flush out all those poisons I put into my body all weekend (beer, processed foods).  It is 3:15pm and I have done awesome so far.  I just am not feeling to good today.  I think it's a combination of my monthly friend visiting any day (TMI, I know but it comes with the territory) and all the beer and nasty foods I ate since Wednesday night.  Well this time I am ready and I will take the bull by the horns and kick some ass these next 3 weeks.  I WILL not cheat & I will succeed.  This is only 3 weeks and anyone can do this in 3 weeks.

I am so excited to get home & eat a healthy meal then get my workout in.  My new tennis shoes came in the mail and I cannot wait to wear them.  I order Asics running, the first time my brother convinced me to get them I loved them after that.  They feel so weightless which is great if you are a runner.  They can run a bit on the expensive side but I personally think they are worth the investment. 

OH, on another note, I had a very disturbing dream last night that involved my kids but mostly my daughter and it wasn't good.  I keep thinking back to it & it really scares me.  I need to get it out of my mind.  I literally checked on her this morning before I left to make sure all was great.  I want to run home after work and hug her and cuddle.  I've never had anything this bad about my kids and I don't want to ever again.  Sorry, I had to get this out because it is brothering me and I just don't feel like posting it on FB where some people I know can be idiots about it (they probably know who they are)

Ok, back the Fix.  My current weight this morning was 253 ( I will do measurements tonight before I work out).  Yes, after this weekend I have put weight on, but I know most of it is water (PMS & bloating) so that'll go away once it shows up (Aunt flow). 

I really wish I had more of an ability to convince people to try out Beachbody (it's 100% money back guarantee if you don't like it).  I cannot get anyone to commit and it is a bit of a downer.  I want people to get healthy, I want to help people feel better.  I just suck at convincing someone (especially when it's a bit costly, but well worth it). 

However, gotta get back to work.  Until next time.........................

Challange done = big FAIL

I know I haven't updated, but things have been crazy busy..  I finished my round one of the 21 Day Fix on Sunday and I did not do good, I failed the last week.  I have absolutely no one to blame except for myself and I'm not pointing my fingers at anyone, because if I do point I always have 4 pointing right back at me.  Anyways, my total weight lost was 7.4 lbs and no I have not measured myself.  I am so ashamed with my weight results that I just haven't brought myself to do it.  I look at it as you learn from your mistakes and then move on and make them better.

So with all that being said I am starting round two on Monday, July 7th.  I am preparing myself much better this time.  I have researched meal/snack ideas for the Fix on Pinterest and created a board just for that and have started preparing my 3 week meal plans.  Every Sunday I'm going to prepare my food for the week and have it all divided and ready to go, so on the days I'm running around after work taking the trio to their sporting events, I have no excuse to eat what I'm suppose to, because it'll be ready to go.  I am truly ready this round to achieve what I wanted to achieve the first round.  I can and I will do this. 

Also, I finally broke down and scheduled an appointment with another orthopedic surgeon for my knees, so I'm hoping I can finally get answers and relief from the pain.  I am also hoping that he doesn't stop me from being able to do my workouts and playing softball.  I will be devastated, but if it's what I need to do to get better then I will, because I cannot take this 24/7 pain anymore, this is something that has been going on for over a year and just has gotten worse. 

We have allot going on this week.  The twins have T-ball tonight & Thursday night and then Karate on Wednesday.  Then after T-ball Thursday we are heading up to the Lake for the weekend of fun and hopefully nice weather.  I'm excited cuz Friday is my favorite holiday (July 4th).  I think I enjoy it because it's in the Summer time, but I also like everything that comes along with it... fireworks, cookouts, boat rides, pools and just all out fun with others.  The kids are really excited too.  Addisyn taught herself to swim (with life vest) this past weekend and now she cannot wait to get back into the pool again.

I wish everyone or anyone who follows me and reads this a very Happy Fourth of July and to stay safe, but have a blast. 

I am going to try to attached my 3 week menu plan just so you get an idea of what I'm doing this round.  I'm not sure if it'll work.   Ok, I cannot figure out how to attach an Excel file. 

Until next time...................
