Lazy Saturday?? Heck no

Today I got to sleep in...Ohh it felt so good. I procrastinated most of the day. Didn't get much done. Was almost a lazy Saturday.  Then I decided I needed too get my workouts in.  I did p90X2 pap upper. I know I improved on some of the moves like the superman and the plank on med ball. I am getting stronger. Ohh yeah...that marks the first week of the third phase all done! I always do two workouts. So the next workout was Turbofire fire 30. I wore my 2 lb weighted gloves. I love it. 

Dinner tonight was lean beef mushroom stroganoff. Ohh wow it was so so amazing. I made it entirely from scratch. My daughter even said... Mom you can never buy the box stuff again.  I never intend too!

Hate to run when its cold

Well its like almost officially the cold season. I am so not looking forward to this. But I live in Ohio so i need to get used to it i guess. Time to break out the hoodies, sweatshirts, pants and leggings.  I am gonna try  not to be such a big baby about running in the cold. Today i am supposed to go for a run and i am already thinking of ways not to.  Well i need to stop that. Really i know that once i get out there i am going to be just fine and i am going to love it. Why because i want to succeed! I want my diet and my workouts to actually make a difference on my body!  The only way to achieve this is by getting it done and not being a baby about it! I will feel better when i am done! 

i wanna be successful!!

Well I did it I ran 10 miles in one hour and 18 minutes..and i did awesome...i was right..after i got out into the air and started to warm up i was completely fine. I really love when people crane their neck to watch me run lol it makes me run even faster now

Runnin 10 mile isnt pretty but its what i do!

I feel so much better now. I am ready to take on my day and i can be more calm about it.  Working out is my drug of choice! When i am out on the open road with nothing else but the music in my ears and the beat of my feet on the pavement it is a feeling like no other...especially when the right song comes on at the right time. I have not ran 10 miles in a very long time...it was nice to get out and just let myself run at a comfortable pace.  I only stopped running because i had hit my calorie burn for the day and my legs were starting to scream at me! Ohh yeah now it is time to refuel with the healthiest meal of the day shakeology! I am gonna mix mine today with one frozen banana, one whole peach, a lil coconut extract, ice and a half cup of milk and some water and of course a scoop of the awesome shakeology of course!

The Healthiest meal of the day!

Turbofire day 2 woo hoo

Well I feel amazing I have finally broken into the 150's woo hoo...I keep getting closer to my goal.  I will keep fitness in my life...there is no turning back. I have kept up with the workouts and my healthy eating...and its paying off.  Day 2 of turbofire Ohh yeah all done...and day 3 of phase 3 p90x2..yoga x2....I finished just in time to go to Stormy andSaphyr's open house at school...it was really cute watching them share the stuff that they did at school...we ran around the school checking out all the things...was quite interesting to say the least. I love my beautiful babies Heaven, Stormy and Saphyr

Great healthy weekend

Well this weekend was amazing. I stayed on track. I didn't mess up on my diet...I kept to my workouts even though at times I really didn't want to. On Saturday I danced for 2 hours. Then in the evening I ran 3.3 miles in 23 mins 37 seconds. This is the fastest time that i have ran a 5 k..i am trying to get my time under 2 mins...I know I can do it...just gotta keep up with my training.  Sunday I started p90x2 phase 3 P.A.P. lower and wow I forgot how much of a workout that was its gonna be exciting to see what happens with this. Tomorrow I am starting turbofire...Ohh yeah I am so looking forward to the fun I will be having with this awesome workout.  Nothing is more fun than turbofire!
On Saturday night I planned out my entire week of workouts I plan on making the end of the year super successful for me.  I will reach my goals. I am determined to do it! I know I can!

Blessed

I feel so blessed today. I received the cd of the photo shoot I did with First for women magazine. I loved the photos it was such an amazing experience. I feel completely blessed for all the opportunitys that I have
been given lately. 
153 lbs and counting...I continually improve

Yogax2 for the 3rd time this week…..

Well I survived! I think. Lol I did yogax2 3 times this week for the recovery week for p90x2. My lesson today is don’t smash your face

I smashed my face at the end :(

I also went for a super fun run! I really love running now.. I really never thought I would say that ever. but now I do! I was almost late to pick up my lil ones from the bus stop because I ran a lil late on getting my yoga in… but I completed both…and I feel soo good that I did….this completes the recovery week for me. I am ready to start phase 3 of p90x2 and I am ready to start some turbofire! My diet has been really on track…I am not gonna let myself back pedal anymore…diet is 80% of the equation. tonight I made chicken parmesean from skinnytaste.com it was soo tastey and soo good for me

 

Doesn’t it look good…the whole plate was under 600 calories…and baked not fried! I also had a freakin amazing shakeology today…with watermelon, banana, blueberries and almonds…it was sooo refreshing after both of my workouts!  Ohhh yeah im gonna keep myself on track with my workouts and my nutrition! I feel great tonight..gonna get to bed just a bit earlier so I get great sleep…I have an important phone call in the morning!
