Week 3: Day 2

Ugh, I've sucked so bad today. I consumed 49 points. Which is 14 points over my daily target goal but I had 5 activity points today, so it was 9 over. I snacked so so much, that was my main issue. I will have to get back on track tomorrow.

It's late and I'm tired from my crappy morning with Caroline refusing to go to sleep. So this is me admitting my faults and moving on with life.

Week 3: Day 1

Hello friends. I'm back. Today was my weigh in and I'm 212.8 pounds so that is a 1.4 pound weight loss since last Sunday. I'm not the happiest about it but it's better than nothing.

I woke up at 4am to take Phil out to the field for work and then came back and slept in until 9:30am thanks to my Nana. I had a Nature Valley graham chocolate thing that I've been addicted to. Those are 2 points. Caroline, Nana and I went to the mall before she left town. I got a Club Lite with fruit so that was 13 points. We walked around the mall and Caroline went on her first Carousel ride! She loved it! We came home and Caroline went down for a nap.

While she was napping I did my Week 2 Day 1 of Turbofire. Today was Fire 45! My favorite so far, the moves are fun and the music rocks! I earned 11 activity points from that! I then ate some snacks which were a triscuit 1 point, baby swiss cheese 2 points, and some cool whip which was 4 points.

I had a light dinner of a spinach roll which was 6 points. I had another nature valley chocolate graham thing which was 2 points. Then I snacked on baby swiss which was 2 points another nature valley bar and a 100 calorie bag of popcorn which was 1 point. (Yes I snacked a lot tonight because I was watching Jersey Shore and then the VMAs) but that's okay since I only went 2 points into my activity points!

Points Alloted: 35 points

Week 2: Day 6

Today will be a short post. A lot of things regarding my health have taken a toll a little bit on me and I'll elaborate more when my blood results come in in a couple weeks depending on if I have a proper diagnoses. I know people that write blogs about fitness or work as a personal trainer or what have you seem like they are invincible and that they always feel great about themselves or don't feel down. I will admit I feel that way when I see a in shape person at the gym. Well, we all have bad days and today would be one of those days to me.

I feel overwhelmed, down and out, and I'm really needing to pick myself off the floor for today.

So I'll leave my blog at that, and I just wanted to post letting everyone know that I am still here and I will be back to blog and hopefully my chipper self tomorrow.

Week 2: Day 4

Today was hard. Very hard. I woke up feeling like total crap. I had a headache, stomach ache, sinus ache, everything ached! It didn't help Caroline wanted to be up at 5:30am. So I will make this blog quick since I am tired and Big Brother is on.

I had a banana for breakfast and Caroline went down for a nap shortly after that. Instead of resting I did Day 4 of Turbofire which was Fire 30 + Stretch 10. I didn't bring as much energy as usual so at the end of it I was really disappointed in myself. I still got up a really mean sweat, but even with that I just counted my workout as moderate and that earned me 4 activity points. Caroline was ready to get up after this short workout.

So for snack I had a chewy bar which was 3 points. Then for lunch I had a ham, swiss, and honey mustard sandwich on toasted wheat bread with hummus and chips. This was 10 points. I then caught up with my tv shows and drank liquids and before I knew it Caroline was ready for a nap. So I laid in my bed and watched cake tv shows and surprisingly I didn't have that big of a craving for it. I had a rice cake as a snack and that was 2 points.

For dinner, we had tacos with lean ground beef. 4 oz. of lean ground beef was 4 points. I had my tacos on two wheat tortillas, which was 7 points for each. I added bell peppers and onions which is zero points and then 2% cheese shredded which was 2 points, 4 tablespoons of light sour cream which was 2 points. So my whole dinner was 15 points. An hour or so later, I had an ice cream bar which was 3 points and when I sat down in bed at 8pm I had a chewy bar for 3 points.

Sorry my post was so bland and quick, I am just exhausted and ready for some shut eye, since who knows what tomorrow will bring. Phil has a crazy work schedule tomorrow so it might get a little rough at home. Until tomorrow, friends.

Week 2: Day 3

I had an interesting start to the morning. My daughter stripped her diaper off before I was able to get into her room. Yuck. Luckily, it wasn't much of a mess. I sat her down for some breakfast and I had some peaches and a banana to start my day.

Today was my rest day with TurboFire Day 3, so I didn't have anything to rush into as a work out goes. I just relaxed, played with Caroline and watched some tv. I had a chewy bar for a snack which was 3 points.

Caroline went down for a nap and then Phil came home for lunch. I had a ham, swiss and mustard sandwich on wheat that was 6 points, and then I had chips and hummus which was 4 points (I love me some hummus!) and then after I was lazy and lounged about bed. I feel so lazy and sleepy when I don't work out for some reason. So I just watched tv in bed with my dog haha. When Caroline woke up, I made her some lunch and made myself a snack. I had fat free pudding and 14 almonds which was 5 points.

I started dinner around 4:30pm and started making healthy chicken nuggets, mac and cheese (not so healthy) and green beans. For 1/4 of the total chicken nuggets, it was 4 points. I had honey mustard as a side and it was no points. I had 3/4 cup of mac and cheese and that was 7 points. The green beans were no points. So that was pretty great! :)


I went to fit group today and we did Turbo Jam Cardio Party Mix 3! Wow, Chalene was giving it hard to us for 50 minutes straight! I earned 11 activity points!! Not much of a rest on my rest day but I loved it! After our workout, we had awesome Shakeology which gives you all the nutrients you need during the day and helps you cut your http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifcravings. Plus, IT'S CHOCOLATE! I estimate that as 2 points max since it was a small cup.

I came home, showered, and popped some pop corn (3 points for low fat butter popcorn) and now I'm typing this. :) I want to say welcome to all the new ladies and gents that showed up tonight! You guys did great!!

Week 2: Day 2

It is late here, and I usually don't update this late but I'm up waiting to move some more laundry before I hit the lights.

Today consisted of a lot of cleaning, sweating, and working out! I woke up around 7am with Caroline. She had a waffle and peaches for breakfast and I had a banana and 11 almonds. The almonds were 2.5 points. Nuts are high in fat, calories, and points for some reason but they are good for you as well, so they are nice to have in moderation :)

After scrubbing my kitchen and bathrooms clean, I settled down for a snack which was a Chocolate Rice cake that was 2 points. I sat down and enjoyed some play time with Caroline. She is getting so big and so bossy. I can't believe how amazing she is. :)

I sat her down for some lunch where we split a can of tuna fish with mayo, mustard and relish, just like my mom made me when I was little. Mine was on wheat bread and hers was with wheat thins. My sandwich was 5 points and then I almost had a side of chips and hummus which was 4 points. Yummmmmmmy!

Caroline went down for a nap and I pressed play on Turbofire Day 2. It was HIIT 15 and Stretch 10. HIIT 15 was INSANE! I was dripping sweat after 5 minutes in. It hurt a lot because my shoes so I struggled through but I finished. My husband, Phil helped me figure out why it hurt so much to break in these shoes and we found out my laces were TOO TOO tight. So we loosened them and it was smooth sailing after that. With just 15 minutes of HIIT I earned 4 activity points.

While Caroline was still napping, Phil and I got to watch the newest true blood. We only watch them while she's asleep due to the nature of the show, so it was nice to watch it during the day. I had my afternoon snack which was 11 almonds mixed in fat free chocolate pudding. YUUUUM! It was 4.5 points.

I took a short nap after True Blood and woke up when Caroline got up from her nap around 4:30pm and started on dinner. We had one of our favorites in the house, Chicken Fontina! MMM! I made it with broccoli and cheese, mashed potatoes, and wheat rolls.

I had one piece of chicken and that was 7 points. Plus 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes which was 2 points and 1/2 cup of broccoli and cheddar which was 1 point :) I had 1 and 1/2 rolls with butter and honey and that together was 7 points (this was my small indulgence of the day)

After dinner settled I headed out to the Fayetteville Beachbody Fit Club! Tonight was Monday Madness Mania! We did Turbofire HIIT 20 and Insanity's Fast and Furious. Oh, man! I was dripping sweat all over the place when we were finished. Shaun T who does Insanity is quite actually insane! It is definitely not for the weak minded. I had a hard time getting through it but I will get better with time :)

This workout did a lot better with my shoes and my feet didn't hurt from working out. It was great! Our group of ladies are amazing, and we had women modifying it so you could go all out or modify!
This is me with sweat drenched hair and body about the jump in the shower from this hardcore workout night.

From this 40 minute combo workout, I earned 10 activity points! 10! How insane is that?!?!

I ran by the store from the work out and grabbed some milk. I then treated myself to a ice cream bar which was 3 points, and this came out of my activity points. :) I then scanned my application to become a beachbody coach and submitted it! So shortly I will become a beachbody coach. Even though I don't have a beachbody yet, I will! I want to reach out to everyone that has been in my shoes and thinks I can't do it, I'm too busy, I'll do it tomorrow. Look you CAN do it! And you can mix weight watchers into it! I will be living proof!

I want to thank Robin Barnes and Nikki Harvey for always pushing me and supporting my decision to become a coach! You guys won't regret it!

Week 2: Day 1

I know I didn't post two days in a row, but I didn't fall off the wagon. I just was very very busy :)

Today, I weighed in. I lost 2 pounds :) Not as good as I wanted it to be, but it is a start. Today, I decided that I didn't really like Brazil Butt Lift so I decided to go back to Turbofire. Turbofire is a 60 day program so I'll be done with it right before my vacation :)
Here is the promo for turbofire:


I also did this trying to break in my new workout shoes, all I can say is OUCH! I have never done a work out though that had me so pumped up and ready to go. It is awesome. Today I did Fire 30 + Stretch 10. And I earned 7 activity points with Fire 30 alone!

For breakfast I had an english muffin with butter and honey, 2 pieces of turkey bacon, and one scrambled egg. All this was 9 points. Then at lunch I had a ham, swiss cheese and mustard sandwich on wheat bread and that was 5 points. I also had 2 tbsp of Hummus and 4 multigrain tostios and this was 4 points. If you have not tried hummus, you NEED to get it. it's so delicious and so so good for you. My husband even loves it after I had him try it today.

I had a little bit of peaches for snack which was 0 points and then for dinner I made mozzarella burgers and scallop potatoes. They weren't my favorite but that might be because I suck at making burgers. The burgers were 8 points a piece and the 1/2 cup of scallop potatoes were 4 points each. And after dinner I had a ice cream bar that was 4 points each.

Allotted points: 35 points
Points used: 35 points
Activity points: 7 points extra

I did great today and I won't be eating into my activity points.
