Weekend 1:6/7

I decided that this weekend was going to be full of fun.
I've been under a lot of stress lately, and I needed to break from that.

And I did! 

Honestly this is the most fun I've had in months!

Saturday I got up early and went to the gym.
I won't lie, it took me a bit to get moving to get out of the house. But I eventually did it.

Afterwards I ran some errands and got ready for my night out.

I went to this place that I've been dying to go to for years!
It was pretty much everything I wanted and more!
I will definitely go there again.

Today on Sunday, I took myself to the beach.
I love the beach. It's my favorite place ever.

So my Sunday Funday was spent relaxing, just the way I wanted!

On Saturday, I mixed up this concoction which is pretty good! I think next time I'll put in some seasoning. But all in all, I can't complain. I'd eat it again.


I cooked ground chicken, and drained the excess fat. Then I added in 1 can of diced tomatoes, and filled the same can up with water. I chopped up 1/2 cup of onions, and 1 cup of mixed bell peppers.
I later on added in 1 cup of cooked pink beans, and 5 tsp of taco sauce.
Cook that all in a pot and done!

It was quite delicious, but next time I'll make sure that I add in more seasoning.

Tomorrow starts off WEEK 2!
And I'm a bit excited to see what the scale says, and my measurements.
I know I've lost some weight, but I don't know exactly how much I've lost.

It should be interesting!

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...
