Yikes...

I well, eating was bad. But I got a good step and some martial arts exercize. Drank 3/4. Water. So good. 

One of those days

The last little while I have just been grouchy. Anywho. today I was too. I tried everything. But it wasn't until after I sweat my brains out that my mood improved. 

I did the Tabata superset today and I was literally dripping everywhere. It was great. It made me so much happier. I realized that I need physical activity to be happy or atleast to handle stress a lot more. 

I ate horribly. And barely drank 2 L water. But one day won't break me. Tomorrow I will be back on my horse. But for tonight ... I'm done. 

Nighty night

Today was pretty good. Did over 13000 steps a workout. Ate decent. Drank my 3L water.... My grumpiness is unbearable though. I need to work on that. Aunt flow will be coming soon... So I need to be aware of that. But yea. My favourite black shorts were like 3 inches to big in the waist. 

I am so tired. I need sleep. Gnight all. 

What a great day!

So it's Sunday. And normally I put on the same skirt every week. My maternity skirt to be exact. But today I thought I would try out on of my old ones that I haven't worn since before I was pregnant with kaeden. And guess what?!?!?  It fit! Like nicely fit. Like if I were to go to a store I would buy it fit. I was so excited. 

My eating wasn't great. But I walked over 8000 steps and on a Sunday that's a big deal. I have also drank 2.25 L which is also a big deal on a Sunday. 

My shins are tired from all my exercise yesterday but they will be ok. Tomorrow I am going to take a little break and go swimming. Nothing to strenuous. The hot tub might do me good also. I need to eat some egg whites and get the carton I opened finished by Wednesday. 

All in all a great day. I have taken on a little girl, so I will have to adjust my workouts accordingly. But I just feel like nothing can stop me now. 

Here is the pic. Enjoy!!

Almost 20000 steps today.

So today was crazy. We didn't have power for almost the whole day. So instead I walked and walked. I did my arm workout this morning and then took the boys to the park while D did sprint workout #1. Then we walked around a bunch. Came home for nearly 2 hrs and off to do the second sprint of which I took part. And then at this point I was at 10000 steps. But my goal today was 15 000. So we walked to the church chili night. Got in another 8000. My legs and body is tired.  I ate ok today. 

Drank my 3 L. Overall crazy good day. And tonight while watching tv I wanted to snack on chocolate. But I didn't. So proud. 

But yes. Going to bed now. 

Later gator 

7 weeks down

Today went really well! (Until this evening and I decided chocolate would be a good idea.) 

But I can't help it. I am about to enter that time of the month. 

But. It was 10 pm. I really just wanted to crawl in bed. But I hadn't done my leg workout. So guess what I did. I got up and did it. And then I stretched. Anywho. I am proud of myself. 

Tomorrow will be busy. A sprint workout in the afternoon and then a run. Plus I need to make chili and cornbread. 

Sometimes it is hard. I will feel good. Like my body is starting to change and thin out and then I look in the mirror and I don't see it. I feel frustrated and discouraged. But somehow in all of that it just makes me want to work harder. 

So yea it's 11:05 no need to go to bed nighty night

P.s this is my kind of workout

Not bad

Well. Today was pretty ok. I didn't quite make my steps. 8466. But that's not bad. I will try to make it to 9000 before bed. So I did a workout this morning and then tonight I did about 15 minutes on the elliptical and then my arms workout. All the while moving around. 

The big thing about this is that I rely just wanted to sit on my bed. Watch tv and eat chocolate. But I didn't! Yaya! 

Anywho. That helped. I am almost done my second show and then I get to shower. 

Tomorrow is cleaning day. Yay. So I should get my steps in. I'll go for a run too and do my legs workout. Life is good! :) 

P.s I have discovered that it is way easier to maintain weight than it is to lose it. 

Oh! Progress. I had my second inner scan done on Sunday and I improved a bit! Hoorah. Here is a pic of the stats. 

So my muscle has increased by 5.4 lbs body fat has decreased by 2.7%. Water % increased by 2.3%. So yay! 

Anywho I am gonna go shower and hit the hay. 

Jdizzle

😃😃sprinting today!

So another great day! It is getting easier to do what is necessary. 

I didn't take any pictures or anything. But sprinting tonight rocked! We got a sitter for the kids and I just ran! I felt stronger and lighter on my feet. The warm up was the hardest part. It wasn't until the end that my shins really started to bug me. So crazy exciting! 

Anywho workout tomorrow am while L is in school ! Hoping ppl show up! 

Peace. ( ya sometimes I say that to pretend I am cooler than I am)

Oh yes. On my "shopping walk" I found this gem. Good motivation for when the zombie apocalypse happens so that I can get away! 

Did it when I didn't want to

Ok. So today I did my hair, make-up, wore jeans etc. and after all that I really didn't want to put on workout clothes and sweat. So it took me until the mid afternoon, but I did. And I am so glad I did. I am now going to stretch. I have 1 water bottle left to drink, (I am going to a movie) and I will have walked over 11,000 steps by the time I hit the hay. At 10 something now. 

So yes. I am enjoying how I feel when I workout. I need to do it more often. Lol. Anywho. I am grateful for my body and all that it can do and that there is room for improvement. 

So yes. Stretching before the late show. I am crazy I know. Nap tomorrow anyone? 

J-dizzle out!

Points for being awesome today!

Ok! So today I had an apple and muffin for breakfast. Then teriyaki stir fry for lunch and a sub with tonnes of veggies for supper. I ran, walked, worked out, it was awesome.. I had just about 12,000 steps and 3.5L water. Today was a good day. 

You know something I am realizing is that working out doesn't have to be a specific time every single day. I used to think I needed a strict schedule. But now, it's more like I work out when I have a few minutes whether it be 15 or 60. I do it with my kids around, heck half the time they join me. I am trying so hard to make myself love it, so that they love it. That they want to be healthy! That is one of my main reasons for doing what I am doing.... Another because well I want to get in shape and hopefully lose a few pounds. 

Speaking of weight, i never blogged about my check in day! Well her is a pic and it should tell you all!

Otherwise, I am going to bed, L has school in the morning. 

Finally a day before weigh in that wasn't awful!

So today was pretty good. I think I stayed pretty close to my calorie budget and I did the ab ripper and my legs workout. I will also be doing some time on the elliptical and hopefully some karate too.  So I will be good to go! I sure hope there are changes. I am really nervous that there won't be and that will put a damper on how well I am doing. So let's just plan right now that I won't give up no matter what the results. Yep. 

Ok. Well gotta get ready to run my butt off, hopefully. 

Until I write again. 

Yay for a good day!

I super love turkey bacon. Anywho. I ate well today. and I worked my butt off. I think my son broke my elliptical though. Gotta have D check it out. So i didn't do that today. But I will have broke 10000 and almost 3L by the time I go to bed. So yay!!! Life went well today. 

Carbs are my nemesis!

Ok. So today started great! Had turkey bacon and egg whites for breakfast. Then after I took L to school I did the ab ripper with A and the. Proceeded to do my arms and legs workout since i missed doing legs yesterday. I then had a yummy rice bowl for lunch... But here's what happened. I made a pumpkin spice cake. Yes. With icing. So good. I managed not to eat the whole thing, but I did indulge. Tacos for supper and a little dessert at YW. 

But I am noticing how much stronger I feel. Everywhere. My legs are just getting to be strong, my calves are like transformed into useful parts of my body and I have like ab and back muscle so I can do so much more. It's fabulous! I will be 10000 steps completed by the time I am in bed tonight. Only about 3300 left and 2500 of them will disappear on the elliptical. Then I have my karate yet. 

I have already drank 1.5 L. And will complete another 750ml tonight. But yes. It is 9 pm. I had better get trucking. 

Hope you have a great, healthy day tomorrow and remember 1 bad day doesn't break you! 

Fell off the track... A little bit

Ok. Today was like exceptionally bad for eating. I don't think I had like 1 healthy thing except for maybe the peaches in my pie. So tomorrow. Working in that for sure. I did do 24 mins on the elliptical and like 17 minutes of martial arts and 10 man push-ups! Apparently I don't breathe when I do them. So adding breathing will make it easier I think. Anywho. That's all. Gnight 

Adding in a new workout.  Found it on Pinterest. 21 minutes of suckville. Looking forward to it. 

Sprinting

Well today, I went and did the sprint workout with D and a few other people. I can't sprint yet, due to bad form or something that causes my shins to hurt. So I jogged... etc. But i did sprint about 40 m and tried not to think about what I was doingthen it went actually ok. I think i handicap myself into thinking i am running totally wrong and it causes me to hurt myself. ANYWHo... Then we had brunch with a few people and yep. 

I did have an icecream cone today.... but otherwise it wasn't that bad. I completed my arm workout, but didn't do the ab ripper as my ciatic was acting up and it was quiet painful. 

So that was today, tomorrow is fast sunday, so im sure I will be under caloric intake tomorrow. 

peace out

OK, I guess I have some work to do!

So today was kind of a crazy day. My schedule was thrown all out of wack. I helped D at work from like 10:30-2:00. So I couldn't work out when i normally do. To top it off, today was cleaning day and so I cleaned as much as i possibly could before I left, which meant that I didnt eat breakfast. So i was starving. I made a couple sandwiches for Deiter and I (nutella - and I ate 1) and I also made cookies, so I had like 3 of those today. Then, while we were at the mac's the corn dogs smelled so yummy, that the I bought 2. Well, the lady M gave them to me, because she totally rocks. So I ate those. Then I didnt have lunch. I had a really awersome supper though. Yummy baby potatoes (with sour cream and real bacon bits... so i guess that parts not all that great) and ceaser salad and chicken. Yum yum. It was really good. I also had a bit of sausage. As for working out today I did about 20-30 minutes of martial arts. I am not totally sure. That worked my body good. But that is pretty much all. I failed bismally at drinking water. Only drank about 1500 ml / 3000 ml. and I had about  8000 steps . 2000 shy of my goal. SO tomorrow, we are havinga bunch of people over for brunch. I am going to make pancakes, but not eat any of them. Instead, I am going to have egg whites, turkey bacon, and probably some yogurt. That is my plan and I sure hope I stick to it. Carbs are totally my weakness. Tomorrow night for supper.... I am not yet sure of what I will be making. Anywho.... Now im off to bed. I'll let you know how my self-control goes tomorrow!

Adios

Motivation is coming easier now - yahoo!!

Well today, L had preschool, so K and I went and had pie. it was delicious. I had told myself that I would eat well today because there was a girls movie night planned - went an saw the 100 foot Journey. It was awesome. 

So for breakfast I traded in good ol' normal eggs for egg whites. Had to add a little salt and pepper because they are pretty tasteless and I also had a couple pieces of turkey bacon. I really enjoy turkey bacon and there is only 70 cal in 2 big pieces. So yummy. BUT then i had 1 pc of apple pie, and about a 1/3 of K's chocolate cream pie. So yes. 

Anyways, after L's school we went to this really awesome play place and I just sat for like 4 hours almost and watch the kids play. They had a great time. But by the time we had got home there was only a little bit of time until the movie. BUT i still attempted a run with my friend A. Shin splits started hurting, so we just quickly walked it. We did 2.44 km in about 23 minutes, and according to my phone we averaged about a 8.54 min km. Not bad considering. 

SO then I got home and was all like - k i'll make supper and get ready. THen I remembered we still had pizza, so I didn't make supper - instead I went downstairs and DID the rest of my workout. It was awesome. I was so proud of myself. When there were so many other things I could be doing, I chose to work out - which means it is starting to be a habit, and thats awesome. Anyways, my hubby wants to show me something and Im exhausted. 

so farewell no viewers. until tomorrow

thank goodness for early morning walks

So today, I ate a little better. Eggs for breakfast, then only 2 waffles for lunch (old me would have had 4 or so). Then i had pizza for lunch. it was non-greasy. I had a couple yummy snacks, but where I definitely see that I am lacking is not in the carbs/dairy areas, but more in the fruit and veggie ones. So tomorrow that will be my goal. Snacks will only be fruit/veggies. I bought egg whites and turkey bacon. I am actually really excited about breakfast tomorrow. 

For the workout areas - I still have my 5 minute Tabata workout to do today. But its only 5 minutes, so after this I am going to take my jeans off and get sweaty. I went on like a 56 minute walk with the kids this morning. Pushing a 90 lb. stroller is hard work! So that counts for my cardio, even though it didn't get my blood pumping as much as a normal cardio session would. It still helped. 

I haven't done my martials arts today either. Mostly because I didn't have any time to. The kids were in bed at 8, and after that I was helping my hubby with something for work. Anywho, tomorrow I will do more of it. 

Things I need to work on:

1. Eating more veggies

2. Actually drinking 3L H2O in a day

3. Walking my 10,000 steps (for example, I thought today was a fairly busy day and Its 9:30 PM and i'm only at...8170.)

That is what I am going to work on tomorrow. Am i excited for improvement and good food. Yes I surely am!!

So rock on people, get fit, get healthy, and be happy with who you are! (ya ok, thats cheesy, im definitely not one of those good motivating quote people). 

Peace out.

😃 going strong

So.. Today I had a smoothie for breakfast, a lean teriyaki chicken microwaveable dinner from m and m meats. (So yummy) and tacos for supper. It was delicious. I also had some cereal, corn pops to be exact at like 10 pm tonight. And fudge this afternoon... But I threw our most of it because I knew I would just eat it. But overall today was really awesome! 

I did the ab ripper and my arm workout. Plus my 3 daily challenges and 15 minutes of martial arts plus 23 minutes on the elliptical for a grand total of 1 hr 8 minutes of continuous exercize. I was soooo sweaty. Even my hair was dripping with sweat. It was awesome. 

One thing I have noticed is that you just have to do it. You can't think about it. If you have some time and haven't worked out. Just go do something! Anything! 

That's what has worked for me. Sometimes I am like. I just wanna watch tv... So I go on the elliptical AND watch tv. It is what works for me. Everybody has to find their own thing though. 

Anywho! Today was awesome. Tomorrow will be too! 

Night

I have a walls it challenge to but I don't have it on my camera. But today was 1 min 29 seconds. It hurts so good!!!

Great start to the week.

So this weekend was a ton of fun... But kind of abysmal in the eating good and working out areas. 

BUT today. I ate healthy on the drive home. Hooray! And then tonight. I tried the ab ripper again. Couldn't do it for a reason I won't mention here. Then I thought. Ya know what. It's still a holiday so I will skip the rest of my workout and just start again tomorrow. BUT I didn't. I did my legs and martial arts and 5 km training on the elliptical. I worked so hard that I was dripping sweat. It was awesome. Then I stretched and showered and ready for tomorrow!!! 

Life is good and it is amazing what you can do when you put your mind to and pray that The Lord makes up for all the rest!

Well I'm having a good sleep tonight. Hope you do to!
