Light Day 1:4

Today I've been able to see a bit of a difference in the way my face is.
I don't look as swollen/puffy as from Monday.

It's always exciting to see small and slight changes to your body.

I cannot wait till I'm able to see my clothes getting too big for me!!

Since the past 3 days I've done cardio and a full body work out, I decided to keep today simple.
There's no point in pushing myself on day 4.
A little break for my muscles will be good for me too.

So with my spare time with cutting my other workout out, I treated myself.
No, I didn't eat something that I shouldn't have.
I gave myself a bubble bath!

We all need a "light" day every now and then.
But tomorrow I plan on doing cardio and weights.


Here's what I ate: 
Breakfast- 
1/2 cup of oatmeal 
1/2 banana
1/2 of egg whites with 1 tbsp of salsa 
2 iced coffee with 2 tbsp of creamer each (it was a rough day)

Snack 1: 
1 small red apple
10 almonds 

Lunch: 
6oz of seasoned grilled chicken (I didn't eat all 6 oz)
1 cup of steamed broccoli 
1/2 sweet potato (with no skin)

Dinner: 
6oz of seasoned grilled chicken and ground turkey with taco seasoning (I wasn't about to let my leftovers go to waste)
6 cups of lettuce 
1/2 cup of tomatoes 
1/2 small cucumber 
4 tbsp of salsa 
2 tbsp of plain greek yogurt 
1/8 cup of shredded cheese

Snack 2:  
1/4 of cottage cheese 
1/3 cup of blueberries 
1 tbsp of sunflower seeds 


Workout A: 
1 hour on the elliptical = 4.56 miles

Weight Loss Crafts 2:5

I made it to Friday ! And better yet, I survived to tell the tale. It's just been a busy and eventful week that I cannot wait to spend it at the beach all weekend. I figured I'd go there Saturday after I hit the gym, and then on Sunday too. I love taking myself to the beach. I go, do my thing, take naps, read, watch the waves... Its life!   Lets just see if the weather holds up. So my work jeans are pretty big on me. Even with a belt, they just don't sit right. But I'm not quite yet ready to go down a size. Instead, I made my pants adjustable! I cut 2 holes on the inside of the waistband and put elastic in there. I secured one end, and left the other end "free". I sewed on a button that way I can adjust the elastic to make them tighter so they can fit better! I won't lie, I'm pretty excited for this!  Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  iced coffee with 2 tbs...

4:1 Back on Board the Wagon!

So I missed a whole week. Life happened. And to me, that's okay. Because this isn't a race, this is a journey . And sometimes along our journey's we take rests/pit stops. Last week was my pit stop. But I'm back on the wagon in full swing! It's never about how many times you fall off. It's always about how many times you get back on! I may have gained 5 lbs since my last weigh in. But I'm okay about it. I'm not saying that I'm going to sit there and accept defeat. But I'm okay with this set back. I'm okay that I know that I'm going to have to push harder. I'm okay with that. In fact, I've decided to take full swing back in control with a lot of things. I need to manage my time better. Something that I struggle with. But I plan on getting back to sticking to my planner. And I even bought myself a workout/diet planner! This way I can keep track of my food and exercises. It's small enough to fit in my purse. My ac...

4:2 Delayed Pictures and Measurements as Promised

Image
OH MY GLUTES!!! I know that I stretched last night, but my goodness am I sore! It's been a crazy busy day in my office. I've taken on the task of checking all of our patient's eligibility before they have their appointment in our Garden City location. Which is a bit much for me. I know how to check eligibility, but not like this. It's causing me to multitask like an office ninja! But I've been working really hard on it, and I think I'm doing a decent job! I'm almost done with the whole month of August. And then I have to wait till September 1st to do September. But I'll get there. I've already started working on a Christmas gift today. I figured I'll start now just so I'm not pressed come the holiday season. So once I finish this blog post I'll get a few more stitches in before bed. Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  1 cup of coffee with milk and sug...
