new outlook

Okay, since gaining some weight back.. i have recently lost 4lbs. Eating clean and cooking at home. This IS the way for me to loose the weight.

I have stopped eating out and am having more veggies. Soups and roasted veggies. Salads i'm getting to. It's a fight for me but i will get there. oh yeah and more fruit too.

The next thing to do is to severely limit or eliminate most dairy ( especially since I'm lactose intolerant) That will be a BIG challenge, but let's see what happens. This is an experiment. I have 3 months to loose 25-30lbs.

How am i doing this i've borrowed the Tosca Reno Clean-eating cookbook and i've also gotten some healthy cookbooks with really great recipes and with ingredients that are easy to obtain and not overly exotic.

with this semester being tough and the next semester going to be even more tough, i need to get a handle on the eating..not to mention hubby wil be back so i will be in the mood to cook more so i want to cook healthy again and keep the weight he's lost off and the weight i will loose away as well. Resulting in my daughter learning healthy food is yummy too.

this is good. i'm glad i'm writing it out.

Eating and struggle

Looking hard at eating and stress eating in particular. I just need to start doing what is right and get moving on the weight loss. I've dropped a size and inches but i want the damn scale to move.

i know muscle weighs more but it would be nice to see me moving toward the healthy side of pounds.

prayers needed and i must change. will have to start posting food journal ..ugh the thing i hate the most.

STC Day 4&5

STC Day 4 &5

Cardio and Advanced Bonus Workout #3B

Felt very tired today with paper writing. Can't wait to hand it in tomorrow.

Cardio yesterday was intervals: variety of movements for HI Burst: Y squats, lunges, skater, side lunges.

Today: Workout Advance wk #3a

I am so sweating.

For the sumo squats..the only one with weight i used both of my 10lbs dumbbells for resistance.

The Sb pass is still tough. as is the stability ball Push up..still have to modify it with the ball closer to my core.

Eating was better today with salad with very little dressing (1tbs) with dinner and lunch. So happy I'm getting better at this. even with a lunch out at a meeting. SO happy about that!

i just realized i was doing advanced workout #3 and not number 1...oooo no wonder i've been falling..i'm not supposed to be there...i guess my pages just flipped themselves..ahhhhh

going back to advanced workout #1 Friday.

Listened to coaching call and i feel so much better about missing a meal..with this hectic week I've been having i have skipped a meal on Monday and just forgot to eat.
So Lunch and snack were out.

i am still eating under my calorie intake but i'm increasing. Eating at the low range makes me tired. Beginning to look at why i get hungry especially after snack. I think it's because i'm not drinking enough water in the afternoon. Getting back to Green Tea with Goji Berry infusion..yummy! OR Water with fresh lemon slices.

new addition to tea faves

I have found a new addition to my inventory of teas.

Yogi Tea has a new flavor called Green Tea Goji Berry.

It's very good plain and is mildly sweet. I had a drink with Goji berry in it..
i think it was a snapple..yes here it is:
So after having that and the Noni punch which is great i found this Yogi Tea.

It's wonderful and i can now drink a green tea with Goji berry in it. It's supposed to have lots of stuff in it to promote the immune system and circulation.. that is a good thing i think...besides it tastes great. I've gone thru 4 cups since last night. Gonna have some more today. This one will be apopular one for me.


Love those Yogi teas, for my PMS pains i use the woman's moon cycle one and i don't have to use pamprin or any meds to quell my cramps. It keeps my hydrated and relaxes me.

viva tea!
