Pump you up!

It’s a snowy Tuesday here but i’m feeling GREAT!  Talked with the trainer yesterday and he’s changing things up.  I was on a high fat, high protein, moderate carbs diet and it seemed to be working but than I noticed my hips were getting fat and I had gained 2 lbs.  The Superbowl feast didn’t help i’m sure.  So it’s back to high protein, moderate carb and low fat.  By low fat I mean 30g.  I’m not talking 10g or anything insane or unhealthy.

I also got a new morning cardio regimen.  It’s KILLER!  I felt so good afterwards.  When I was eating my breakfast I started sweating again and felt tingly, ah yeah!

.

Shoulder workout was awesome today!  I think it’s better knowing that I get my beloved Metrx afterwards.  Yeah new meal plan!  Metrx gives you muscles!

That’s another thing I talked with Tony about.  I’m not wanting to build anymore muscle.  I just want to get and stay LEAN! 

.

Goal weight is 119 in 14 days!  I’ll weigh in Friday to see where i’m at.  I’ll let the Superbowl bloat get out first ;)   Suday I was 121.6.  So I guess that’s really on 1 lb but it’s enough to cause a freak out for me.

.

Arnold is in 23 days!  Is there anything you can’t wait for?

.

DON’T FORGET THE CLICK GIVEAWAY!!!

Salt truck and mailboxes

I ended up enjoying myself last night despite an Indianapolis loss. I am paying for it this morning.  I seriously felt hungover.  I didn’t even eat that much dessert and that’s usually what does it. I did have this dip and I could tell Frank’s was in it.  Me +  SO DEE UM =

Needless to say, I didn’t check myself before I wrecked myself….OY!

.

It was a BLUE party!

No babies were harmed…she actually liked it.

That was my view of the game.  I didn’t mind.  I’m not a big sports watcher.  I do however know all the rules etc…not sure why?  My dad is a big sports fan so it must be in the genes.

Not part of the Blue crew.

The Colts gave it their best shot.  Better luck next year BLUE!!!  Anyone want Kendra’s beau Hank Baskett?  He blew the game IMHO.

.

The snow is melting and I can see the mailboxes in our neighborhood again.  Just in time for more snow tomorrow.

.

What do you do when you’ve eaten too much and feel it the next day?  I typically drink LOTS of water, cut back on the carbs and get in a great workout.  I did have a good leg workout earlier and am feeling a bit better.

Shut up stupid brain!

I’m going to a Super Bowl party tonight.  I’m suppose to enjoy myself.  I’m suppose to support my husband and share the excitement with him.  Why am I dreading it?  Why can’t I be normal anymore?  I used to go out all of the time.  I used to party all the time.  I know you change as you get older but you’re still suppose to want to have fun.  I KNOW why i’m dreading it.  It’s not being in control of my food.  Sure I could take my stuff but really?  I’m not in competition prep or anything ridiculous that gives me an excuse not to enjoy some good snackin.  I know when I get there I WILL enjoy myself, I WILL eat the veggie tray and I WILL be glad I made Mike happy for doing something with him and his friends.  I’ve always had fun the past years and this one will be no different.  Sarah, Mike’s friend’s wife is an excellent cook.  This isn’t your typical order pizza and eat doritos party. 

.

Okay I got that off my chest…

.

I did make some Chocolate Chip cookies!

  • 3/4 cup of oats
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 scoop of whey powder(I used muscle guage nutrition cinnamon roll)
  • 1/4 cup water 
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • chocolate chips

Mix ingredients, make as many cookies as you want, bake 375 for 7 mins…YUMBALLS!  Mike tried one.  He said they were hard to swallow LOL!  Easy to say when you can eat 12 real cookies and lose a lb.  I’ll choke ‘em down somehow.

.

GO COLTS!

.

CONGRATS HAYLEY!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

I still can’t find pumpkin anywhere.  I’m going through withdrawals.

.

HUGE snowstorm here in Indiana.  My weight was 122 this morning WTF???  I think it could be from the sodium in the salmon packet I ate yesterday. 

.

I did Cathe’s Kickbox workout from her CTXpress series this morning.  It was fun.  Later today will be bis/tris.

.

I‘ve discovered a new protein powder.  Yes, I discovered it.  No one has known about this until I found it.  I’m only kidding.  Seriously though this stuff rocks!  It is made with Stevia also…BONUS!  Here are the flavors i’ve tried.

  • Cinnamon Bun – ordered 2 lb tub
  • Rocky Road – sample, buttery mmm….
  • Chocolate – taste great! (sample)
  • Vanilla – actually liked it for vanilla (sample)
  • Vanilla Ice Cream – nothing to brag about (sample)
  • Strawberry Banana – put this in my oats YUM! (sample)
  • Chocolate Mint – 2 lb tub, so good made into ice cream!
  • Cake Batter – you know this is good plus no sucralose!

Thanks for the samples MGN!  I am an active member of a forum where me and some other fitness guys and gals talk back and forth.  I’ve got them hooked as well.  They said peanut butter is amazing  so now I must buy some :)   We are buying the place out.  You can get it HERE.  It’s great to bake with as well.

.

Mike has been shoveling the driveway for an hour and still isn’t finished….poor guy.

.

Did you get snow?

White outs and such

Wow it’s a white out right now!  It’s really pretty, BIG snowflakes.  As long as I don’t have to be anywhere i’m fine with it.  It may put a damper on our Super Bowl plans Sunday…TBD.  I did get things at Target this morning to make for the party.  I’m making corn pudding and bacon spinach dip.  Mike suggested those :D   I’ve also got a HUGE bag of Blue Chips that I am going to hoard for myself.  I plan on going easy on the junk but I will have some goodies. 

.

Oddly my legs are not sore…yet.  I’m going to do a bit of step aerobics later.  My treadmill isn’t safe I don’t think.  It’s getting nosier so i’ll just wait for the Sears man to repair it Monday.  The parts came yesterday along with 4 jars of Krema and Crazy Richards PB to review WOOHOO!

I don’t have much going on or much to say.  I’ve seen a few post about celebrity look alikes.  Here are mine. 

Jayma Mayes

Luckily I have blue eyes ;)

and

Shirley Manson

Yes, we ROCK the fivehead!!

Who are your look alikes?

.

I read LOTS of blogs.  This one really spoke to me today.  Check it out HERE…for reals.

.

Who are you going to root for Sunday?  I won’t dislike you if you’re cheering the Saints on.  I hope when the game is over they will be saying DAT’S WHO!  Instead of who dat.

The calm before the storm

I guess I could be talking about the weather.  It’s nice out right now but we’re suppose to get 6-8″ of snow tonight ugh…What i’m really talking about is my legs.  I used a cardio machine i’ve never used before so that’s a great way to insure some soreness tomorrow.

What is your favorite piece of cardio equipment?  Mine is still the treadmill

Muscle Milk Light RTD Review

I recently received some samples of Muscle Milk Light. 

  • 2- Vanilla Creme
  • 2- Chocolate
  • 2- Strawberries n’ Creme

I got home from the gym today and tried the strawberry.  It was a good flavor but not like strawberry Nesquik.  Mike tried the vanilla creme after his workout.  He made a face.  I tried it.  It had a weird flavor.  Almost like coconut.  He drank it all but it wasn’t a favorite.

Who’s First?

I was in Kroger this afternoon.  I got 2 bags of brussel sprouts.  It looked at me, I looked at it, I walked away.

I thought I would do a little research.  If anyone tries the rutabaga let me know ;)

Rutabaga Nutrition
100 grams or 3 1/2 ounces

Nutrient Cooked Raw
Calories 39 36
Protein 1.3 g 1.2 g
Total Fat .6 g .6 g
% Calories from fat 5.1% 5.0%
Carbohydrates 8.7 g 8.1 g
Fiber 1.8 g 2.5 g

The rutabaga is a root vegetable that looks very much like a turnip with yellow-orange flesh and ridges at its neck. Although this beta carotene-rich vegetable has been grown and marketed in our country for nearly 200 years, it remains an uncommon food in American dining. It’s actually a great tasting vegetable with a delicate sweetness and flavor that hints of the light freshness of cabbage and turnip. With its easy preparation and versatility, great nutrition, and excellent flavor, the rutabaga can easily become an endearing family favorite.

Because rutabagas store so well, up to one month in the refrigerator and up to four months in commercial storage at 32 degrees, they are available year round. Planted in May and June, they’re harvested in late summer and early fall when their flavor is at its peak. Ideally, it’s best to shop for fresh rutabagas at farmer’s markets in early autumn.

.

I had a great time working yesterday.  I mainly vacuumed and can I tell you i’m sore!  It was 5.5 hours of not stop moving.  By the time we were done I was STARVING.  We got a call after our first house showing asking if they could do another at 6p-7p.  Since the house was cleaned up we said sure.  So I told Mike just to go to my mom’s and bring a salmon packet and bag of cole slaw mix for me :D  

.

I got up at 4a this morning.  I decided to do Cathe’s Drill Max cardio only.  Can I tell you all how much better i’ve been feeling.  I’m back to early rising as well.  6:30a is NOT early for me.  I hope it continues.  I will have another appt in 5 weeks and then I should get some feedback on the bloodwork.

.

I met a friend at Starbucks and had the best coffee!  I ordered an americano but put some CLICK in it!  It was like a mocha latte YUMBALLS!!!(Thanks Barb)  So don’t forget to enter my giveaway for your chance to win a canister of CLICK!

.

After my chest workout I went to the gym for cardio.  I know that sounded weird huh?  I did an hour on the treadmill and Amy was on the elliptical.  When we are together we are in our own little world.  I hope the guy on the treadmill next to me couldn’t hear us HA!  Not that we care.  I can’t wait for my treadmill to be repaired.

I’m about to watch Lost!  YIPPEE!

.

Are you a Lost fan?  I’m so sad it’s going to be over with.

A new veggie and work

Hot Dog!  The gym was fun yesterday but just like a baby, I don’t need one.  I did love the incline of 15% on the treadmill.  Amy and I always have fun no matter what we’re doing.  It’s like we’re back in elementary school when we’re together.  Yes, we hung out in high school as well but we still act like elementary school.  Today i’m going to go and help her out at work!  WORK???  What’s that?  Of course this causes my brain to go a million different directions.  I’ve got it planned where i’ll only need to bring 1 meal and it will be a protein shake for convenience.

.

We also have a house showing today ARG!  So i’m cleaning….again.

.

Here is my make shift jumping arena LOL!  This was so much fun and my heart was about to pound out of my chest!

That’s Boomer’s dog bowl at the end HA!

.

Mmmm….cake.  Protein powder cake of course ;)

I had 4 viles of blood taken yesterday.  I was in the building literally for 2 minutes.

I tried a parsnip last night!  Mike thought it was a weird colored carrot.  I roasted it at 425 for 20 minutes as usual.  It reminded me of a sweet potato.  It was yummy!   Thanks Foodbin for telling me I should try them!

The parsnip is richer in vitamins and minerals than its close relative, the carrot. It is particularly rich in potassium with 600 mg per 100 g. The parsnip is also a good source of dietary fiber. 100 g of parsnip contains 55 Calories of energy.

Have you ever notice in other countries instead of having calories they say energy?  So when you’re eating don’t think of it as calories but energy :)  

.

What vegetable do you still need to try?

Gyms, labs, and stuff

I lost 2 lbs in January :D

  • Jan 1st 122
  • Jan 31 120

 

I had my first colonoscopy and i’ve taken a few drugs i’m not real proud of.  Legal of course ;)   I’m someone who would not even take an Aleve and now I have taken Provera and i’m taking Dicyclomine. I do have to say the last one is a miracle pill for me so far.  It is for IBS and has helped my rumbling and bloating.  I have been sleeping like a baby also.

.

I’m going to join Visionquester in her goal to lose 4 in February.  I can do it!  Do I NEED to lose?  No.  I’m at a healthy spot but remember i’m going to the Arnold in March and then my cruise in April so it’s all vanity lbs.

.

I cranked out 40 mins of EMC this morning.  It felt GREAT!  Today i’m going with my friend Amy to check out Anytime Fitness.  I am not going to become a member but it’s a free 7 day pass so why not?  I have a great home gym here.  My treadmill does need some work.  The Sears man had to order some new roller bearings.  I can still use it but i’m taking it easy.  All weekend I did step aerobics videos and my whole body is killing me with soreness!  I love it!  I’ve upped my glutamine dosage to try and combat the soreness.  Not only that but today will be spent foam rolling :D

.

I have a KILLAH leg workout today.  Doesn’t Tony know my legs are killing me and i’m not a very good jumper?  I have to jump over boxes today.  I’ll take a picture of my make shift box jumping arena ;)   Remember I live in Indiana so it’ll be a good ‘ol redneck version.

.

After the gym trip i’m going to get some blood work done…geesh…does it ever end.  I do have to say that all weekend i’ve felt great!  My husband even noticed my mood was better.  I have been waking up at my usual 5:30a again and feeling great!  So lets hope it continues.  Maybe my colon just needed some air blown into it?

Hey Everybody!  I took a break from the computer yesterday and it was nice.  By 9:30a I had already been to Target, got my haircut, and then to Kroger.  I was a busy lady.  I came home and was going to have some protein pancakes but forgot to put my protein powder in it.  I hate when my brain isn’t thinking right.  That happens alot.

After this it was red meat day.  I’m not a big red meat eater but Laura’s Lean 4% beef is alright.  I should have made it into a burger rather than chopping it up.  You know what happened when I tried to eat this like a burger ;)

Lettuce “bun” burger.  I put tomatoes, avocado, ketchup, mustard and I believe that is all on there.  I also made some sweet potato chips with my mandoline.  Love that thing!

Isn’t that so beautiful?  This is reason 1. why i’ll never be a food blogger.  I’m also not about to join the cool kid camera band wagon.  Chia seeds are cheap and make oatmeal fun.

Stay tuned…tomorrow I think i’ll be doing a giveaway!

Fuh-fuh-fuhreezing!

I really like getting my weights done with before noon.  I feel like I have the whole entire day left to do whatever.  So I did a HEAVY back workout followed by another sweaty cardio session.  I was on fire but I got my warm clothes on and walked Boomer.  Note to self:  no matter how hot you are remember it’s 10 degrees outside and wear your ear warmers.

When I got back home I made myself a nice hot protein drink.  This is TOP SECRET but I will let you in on it next week.  There WILL be a giveaway involved ;)

So yummy!

.

Therese had a great post today about meal planning.  I don’t plan my meals.  I have a piece of paper on my fridge with exactly what i’m to eat everyday.  For me it works.  I love not having to think about it.  I do cook other things for Mike but he’s pretty easy going.   So knowing that….WHY DID I RUN OUT OF SWEET POTATOES?  Ugh…the only other good carb I have is rice and I don’t feel like rice today.  So insert Dr. Kracker.  Remember when I said I was going to give a review like forever ago?  I will make this one short and sweet.  They are AWESOME!  My favorite is the pumpkin cheddar.  I got to sample eat flavor.  A close second was the roasted red pepper…spicy!  Maybe not the ideal carb but it’ll work.  You can get these at Target.

.

Here’s my tummy this morning..not much difference after the poo juice.

You can see where I carry my chub…around the hips.  Hey body, you are NOT having kids.  No need to protect yourself.  120 in the above picture.

109 in this picture.  No i’m not sucking in.  I have the unfortunate curse of rib cage that doesn’t hold fat making me look malnourished. 

Here’s to all the people with a lower pooch!  I’ve seen fat girls with flat stomachs.  I mean that in the nicest way possible.

.

Enjoy your Friday!!!

Perfect Foods Bar YUM!

Do you remember how much I liked the Perfect Foods Bar?  http://redhead75.wordpress.com/2009/12/20/look-alikes/

Now Kelly is giving some away!  I want to win them!  You can enter if you want ;)

——————————————————————————————–

I’m feeling good today.  Stomach is not bloated at all.  The day isn’t over I always say.  I got up and did 45 mins on the tready and it felt good.  I haven’t exercised in 2 days.  I have a back workout this afternoon and the Sears guy is coming to repair a rattle underneath my treadmill.  Thank goodness I bought that warranty.  I will NEVER NOT buy a warranty for a treadmill.  You really get your money out of it.

.

I did take a picture of my stomach pooch this morning.  I’ll post it later.  I’m too lazy to go up and get the camera.  I love saying i’m lazy :D

Quickie

I’m still drugged up but I made it through.  It wasn’t too bad although I remember waking up during it and my stomach was hurting BAD!  That colon cleaning stuff didn’t work for me.  I mean sure I pooped some but nothing like I though it was going to be.

.

I’m so tired from waking up every hour since 1a to poop.  Keep in mind that once you take the solution it’s suppose to work in 2 hours and clean you out in 2 hours.  I took mine at 4p and i’m still using the bathroom.  I always knew my digestion was slow but now it’s confirmed.

.

Next step is to get some bloodwork done.  I may do that tomorrow.

.

I just ate some oatmeal with an amazing new protein powder find.  An all natural powder that actually tastes good!  I’ll post about it tomorrow.  It’s time for shut eye.

CHILLaxin’

I love to eat and I love to workout but today has been stress free.  I don’t have to worry about my next meal or when i’ll fit in my workouts..it’s been wonderful!  I got alot accomplished as well.

  • Sleep until 7a
  • Go to mall to buy GTE
  • Take movies back
  • Walmart to buy paint supplies
  • Kroger to get Mike’s cereal
  • Take poop pills at noon
  • watch Giada make this awesome lentil salad and drool

 

Yes that is my productive day so far.

.

Okay, I went with the orange flavor.  After smelling them all it was the best smelling so I went with that :D   I’m waiting for the pills to kick in.  If they don’t produce a movement within 6 hours i’m to start taking the drink anyway.

You know I took some before pictures.  I want to see if I look any thinner without a bunch of poo in me.

I need a tan something fierce.

Someone is snoring :D

.

Surprisingly i’m not hungry at all.  I’m normally ready to eat every 2-3 hours.  I’m trying to decide what will be my first meal after the “search” tomorrow.  Now tomorrow is going to be the roughest…no water or anything until after the procedure.

.

ARG!  I got a package delivered from the UPS man AND the Fedex man and I can’t try them out today :(

.

What was your first car?  Mine was an ‘83 Mercury Cougar in black.  I loved that car!

Speaking of cars….looks as if i’m driving a death trap!  ‘09 Toyota Matrix XRS

Help me pick a flavor!

I’m sure they are all nasty but thought this would be fun :D   I’ll let you know what i’ve decided on tomorrow!

The Monster Mash

This morning I was suppose to have a job interview.  I wasn’t real sure about the place plus it SNOWED again last night.  The place was 1/2 hour away and I really just wasn’t into it so I cancelled.

.

I got up and did 36 mins of cardio.  If I would have known I wasn’t going to the interview I would have went longer.  Then I did something off schedule.  I did my leg workout around 9a.  I typically lift around 2:30p.  Lately i’ve been so exhausted around that time I figured I would do it early and get it over with.  I’m so glad I did!    I haven’t taken any supplements for a week and let me tell you my body knows it.

.

For lunch I had my bowl of mash :D

  • Chicken
  • sweet potato
  • 100 cal packet of guacamole

I love this lunch!

.

Tonight is my sister’s birthday celebration!  Mike and I changed our minds about eating out.  We are just going to hang at my mom’s all night.  That means i’ll be bringing MY dinner.  Fish, sauteed cole slaw mix, and roasted broccoli YUM!  This is SO good, wish mustard and stevia of course ;)   I MIGHT, that’s a might have a sliver of cake just for Kelly ;)

For real though, I don’t feel left out or anything when i’m not partaking in the gorgefest.  I used to but not anymore.  I’d rather have a Tbsp of PB.  Or a rice cake w/ pb and chocolate morsels hmmmm…..

.

Tomorrow is the liquid day….oh boy!  I’m getting prepared.

I’m actually excited about doing the liquid day.  I’ll also be taking the medicine that is going to CLEAN ME OUT!  I bet i’ll be feeling awesome Thursday morning! 

.

Have you ever done a liquid diet?  I have and like I mentioned I felt GREAT the following morning.  This leads me to believe I do have a food allergy.  I’ll find out soon enough!
