4:3 Sometimes too much of a good thing is actually bad for you...

Yesterday my legs killed me.
Today its my arms.

I've been constantly reapplying icy hot to my arms all day. It's the closest thing I can get to a massage.

Today I've had constant stomach aches. It took me a bit to figure out why.
Turns out, too much brussle sprouts over several days really isn't good for you.
I had to learn this the hard way.

Between my arms and my stomach, I decided to call today a rest day. I was going to just focus on cardio, but the way my stomach has been all day I would be in too much pain/discomfort.

Tomorrow is my Friday, since I'm off Friday giving me a 3 day weekend!
This is going to be a busy weekend. And I'm really looking forward to it all.
Friday my son comes home from spending the summer in Florida with his father.
Saturday my boyfriend and I will be staying over night upstate for a wedding.
I can't wait to be able to spend time with my two most favorite people in the world! It's been a long summer without them.

So here's to hopes of me getting everything done that I need in time for this weekend!


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 2 tbsp of creamer 

Snack 1-
1 small apple 

Lunch- 
6 oz of ground turkey with taco seasoning 
1cup of brussle sprouts
1/2 cup of white rice  

 Snack 2- 
1 string cheese 
1 quest bar 

 Dinner- 
1 cup of shrimp
2 cups of "Organic Edamame and Mung Bean Fettuccine" (I swear this saves my life when I crave pasta. It's totally not the same, but its vegetables and it makes me feel like I'm carbing)
2 tbsp coconut oil 
2 tbsp of grated cheese 


 Snack 3- 

1 Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt pop in Cookies and Cream 

 Clearly you can tell, I'm very hungry tonight.

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...
