After some time away

It never ceases to amaze me that if I take any amount of time off from exercising as soon as I go back to it my body acts like I have never even exercised! I did day 1 of my slim in 6 tape yesterday and I am totally feeling it today. I have to stick with it though because I know if I don't when week 6 rolls around I am going to feel horrible again! Anyway, plan for today is to do my tape again and try ot get caught up around here.

Bird food snack

I may be a snacking genius! Ok, maybe not but at least I feel good right now :) The girls and I are home with a rainy day today so it was time to get creative in the kitchen. I made a morning snack for "them" ok, me too. We decided to dub it "bird food". A fruit mix of banana pieces, strawberries, raisins and oat clusters. Yummy! And oh so healthy!

Back on it!

Ok, so around here we tend to not let go of holidays very easily. We decided to take an extra week off for Thanksgiving and it was amazing! I was not pressing myself to exercise much but I was making sure to eat sensibly though. Either way I weighed in this morning at 199 so that is great! I know I was lower a bit before but at least I stayed under 200lbs right?! I'll hang my head on that for now. Well, I have a case of the Monday (wink office space) but my Mondays are GREAT! I am a freak of nature because I actually enjoy that day. Obviously I love me some Fridays too but Mondays are always great for my lets start over sentiment. :) So This morning I started my day with a slim fast and more healthy eating to follow. My plan is to switch it up a bit so try and trick my body into losing some weight. I am starting my Slim in 6 tape again with cardio and some strength training on the said where I can fit it in. Ok, here we go! :)

Still trying to lose weight!

I have not been losing much weight lately but I have lost quite a few inches so that is good. I hope this week to lose even more lbs and hit below 195 at some point. I know Thanksgiving is this week so that will be a challenge but other than that I should be good (except for a few daiquiris in Louisiana! lol). Anyway, I hope to sit down adn actually plan a bit of exercise routines sometime this week. So that is a major goal for me right now, staying consistent! Until then...cya!

First Run of the "new year"

I went on a quick run this afternoon. I actually walked for part of it but I just wanted to get my body moving and back at it. I cleaned house all morning so it was a miracle that I even went at all. But I have to add, it felt great! It was not a bad run at all and I did some quick resistance training in the park too. I weighed in this morning at 197lbs but I can not complain because I have not exercised all weekend and I drank and had some snacks too on top of all of that I am totally "retaining water" if you know what I mean so I know I will be lower in weight soon enough. In all, not a bad day :)

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo

It is 11-12-11. The day after my birthday! I did not go on my 11 mile run yet but to be honest...I have been having The BEST birthday weekend ever so how could I leave?! LSU won their game tonight and I have a nice DRANK in front of me...I'm feeling good! I'll be back on it shortly, why not take some time and celebrate ME?! :) Have a nice weekend, I'll see you soon.
