Yes mam, Labor Day is over, and I had a great weekend, I ate more than usually but still maintaining my weight. My boyfriend grilled turkey wings, regular wings, 2 cornish hens, peas and corn, yellow rice and Jiffy corn bread, and the kicker is its only me and him in the house, lol, I think he is trying to sabotage my diet, this is when discipline comes in,lol.
I had a lite breakfast this morning, banana, apple and coffee, lunch will be a grilled chicken salad, (homemade), and a lite dinner,and a late snack.

Gastroenteritis

Good morning, lets just say I am happy to be here, Monday morning I was feeling sick by that night I was in the Ambulance headed to the hospital sick as a dog, I was diagnosed with Gastroenteritis, beats me, Im still trying to figure out how and why this entered my body I remember late Sunday night mixing dark alcohol and white alcohol together when told not to but I did any ways so I got a lil tipsy went home went to sleep woke up felt okay, ate 2 bananas and coffee and the sicknee began, I hadnt been that sick in years oh wow! I really thought I was dying, I am blessed to be here.

155 and glowing!

LOST 2 MORE POUNDS!
Break out the Champagne! Ive been @ 157 for almost 2wks, and it felt great when the scale showed I lost 2pds, and I think Im content here. 145 was my goal but I dont want to stress it, Im going to to continue to workout fo a lean muscular look and if any weight falls off it will be naturally....
I had an awesome workout this mornig 2mile walk and 2 mile run, and then my 1hr fitness class (light weight training) w/ Mrs Pat who is an awesome teacher, she is in her 60's in tip top shape and looks great! She is truly an inspiration

Last week was a stressful week for me and when I am stress I tend to eat more and gain weight, but luckily no weight gain just a stand still @ same weight from last week which is 157, I put in a good 5 day workout so that may have something to do with me not gaining, I ll take that!
Today has been good, a great workout, I had a light breakfast, a home made chicken salad for lunch and a apple pecan chicken salad from Wendys for dinner, my last meal was at 9pm and I will be drinking water for the rest of the night.

ANYTHING WORTH HAVING IS WORTH WORKING HARD FOR

I took a ride on the Wild Side

I had a great dinner today, not the norm of what I normally eat but my body can afford it. So there,it was good and satisfying. I am sure this meal will last me till about 9pm - 10 pm tonight and I will follow it up with a late snack.
Lightly seasoned baked chicken, yellow spinach rice, ( 3-table spoons) came seasoned and high on carbs thats why I didnt eat so much, mixed vegges, green beans and sweet peas, last but not least my all time every day meal, house salad, with ceaser dressing, chopped pecans and salad toppings, Yep!

Dont 4get to wash your fruit and vegetables

Do you know how important it is to wash you fruits and vegetable before you eat them? Well if not, very important, bacteria such as Listeria, Salmonella and E. Coli may all be lurking on your fruits and vegetables, whether they are organically grown or conventionally grown. These bacteria all cause food-borne illness and need to be washed away from your produce. I mean, really,do you know where they have been prior to getting to the Supermarket? Do you know how many hands in the fields and orchards handled your fruit and vegetable once they were ready for harvest?Unless your fruits and vegetables are organic, they grew up in fields covered in pesticides and herbicides. Although the pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables are considered to be at safe levels for human consumption, do you really want those extra chemicals on your food.
I am always in the kitchen washing my lettuce when it comes from the store, I mainly eat iceburg and spinach lettuce, so one day I was washing my spinach lettuce that came pre wash in a plastic bag and Lo and behold a Lady-bug came flying out and that was so disturbing to me, Im just glad I had sense enough to wash the lettuce, I probably would not have died but Im sure I would have gotten sick, so let remember you guys wash wash wash those fruits and veges!
I simply use water and a tad bit of antibacterial dish detergent and I let my fruit and vegges soak 2 to 5 min and I rinse with cold water and I also use a product called "Veggie Wash" from the makers of Citrus Magic,this product safely removes Pesticides, Waxes, Chemicals and Soil.

Great Meal Ideas by Kimberly Mack

I thought I would share some of my class mate delicious lunch (i.e dinner) plate) although I am not a fan of bread of any kind these meals can still be great with out them, Take a look for your self, Thxs Kim.

Down 3 Pds, 22 more to go!

Ive been on a diet, weight challenge, healthy eating, or what ever you wanna call it, along with a high school friend, for a week now, and has lost 3pds... I started at 165 now at 162 and my goal is 145, which will be perfect for my frame, 5ft 7 in. I am finding myself very serious and I havent been this serious in a long time, and I am thinking cause I have a weight loss partner to share success and failures with makes it a little easier.
At this point I have no paticular diet, I am making up meals as I go, two of my goals are to cut back on the gum and coffee, I tend to chew alot of gum, soon as the flavor is out I am on to the next one, Im talking bout a pack a day which is loaded with sugar, it keeps me from eating but it is a unhealthy habit. Coffee which I love is another that I abuse, loaded with sugar (splenda) but I add alot of cream, and cappuccino to it, and I will have at least 3 cups 7 days a week from the local gas station, So what I did was got smart and went out purchased my own coffe machine and it has help me cut back tremendously and just small cut backs like that can mean so much.
Working out is not a big issue for me, for I love the gym, I love the way it makes me look, but I must say a good diet and gym go hand and hand, cause if not you will not see no results. I generally, walk 2miles and run 2miles a day 5 days a week, along with 1 to 2 fitness classes (pilates, strength training) 5 days a week. Lets just say I get it in.

Struggling

This is day 3 for me that Ive been struggling in the gym, Today I only walked 1 mile and yesterday I did a fitness class and walked 2 miles, I normally have so much more energy than that, I was struggling to get that finished, and I think mainly be cause I've been drinking to much liquor,Recently Ive been drinking every night which is not normal for me, so I cut that out Wednesday, yes, thats it for me, for a while anyways, my mind wants to go hard but my body dont..
