179.2lbs And Counting Down

Did you see the picture of my weight? Omg, I'm so excited. My clothes are not extra tight, and I'm feeling good.  If I keep this up, I can probably reach my goal of 145lbs by christmas.

I'm slowly weaning off the soda. I know I can do it, cause I gave up drinking Red Bull for 6 months now. I would have so much energy from drinking it, and I would crash about an hour later. I also realized it was making me bloated. So I replaced the Red Bull with mango juice, green tea, and cranberry juice, and water. 

If I can drop this weight, I know you can too. So keep it up. Luv & Blessins!!!

Day 7 Of Losing 5lbs In A Week

Ok, so today is day 7, of my lose 5lbs in a week with Jillian Michaels dvd. When I started I was 184.7lbs. As of today, I am 180.2lbs. So losing only 4lbs was still great.

Will I continue this strive to lose 5lbs in a week? You bet! I've already been successful in losing weight. I weighed 236lbs three years ago, and I was so unhappy. It takes time and patience. For me, the results were worth the wait, and worth the effort.

So let's continue to workout, and strive for a healthy life. Luv & Blessins!!!

Oh Me, Oh My

I have gained a pound, but thats ok. I know working out aint easy. When I get stressed, I like to turn to caffeine. I know it's wrong of me, and I will not make excuses.

So today I will have 2 cardio sessions. I will do Jillian Michaels this morning, and tonight I will do Dance Central on Xbox Kinect. No soda for me today. Well, I know I need to cut the soda out period. I love cranberry juice, and I'll only drink water if it's ice cold. I have my gallon of water ready. This is what I'll be drinking on all day to aide in the shedding of this one pound. So wish me luck, and we will see what tomorrow brings. Luv & Blessins

Day 4 Of My lose 5lbs in a week

So I've been on this challenge for 4 days. It has been crucial. I'm sore all over, but I think its worth it. I haven't missed a workout since I created this challenge for myself.

Remember excercise is not just the key. I have been controlling my portions when I eat. So here is my mid challenge weigh in. As of today, Aug 1, 2012, my current weight is 180.1lbs. Happy Camper. So let's keep working out!

Losing up to 5lbs a week

So I bought this Jillian Micheals Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism dvd, because  it says lose up to 5lbs a week. Well how hard can it be?

It can be very hard if you're not focused on your goal. So I placed a challenge for myself. Today I am weighing in at 184.7lbs. So I'm going to attempt to lose 5lbs by next Sunday, Aug 5, 2012. My goal will be 179.7lbs.

This workout consist of a 5 min warm up, 40 min of cardio circuts broken into seven 6 min circuits, and 5 min cool down. I will do this workout 5 days straight, and my last 2 days, I will do 30 min of weight training.

Muscle Building Foods

Working out is not easy, and neither is dieting. So I don't diet. I simply control my portions, and I incorporated some clean eating habits.

Here are a few items that I've grown to like. Salmon is a great source of energy boosting creatine. This fatty fish is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which may increase strenght, and slow down loss of muscle mass. Lean beef is packed with muscle building protein, they also contain micro-nitrients that are essential to building muscle. Drinking milk after working out, builds lean muscle mass faster than a soy protein drink. These are just a few. Try yogurt, green tea, broccoli, spinach, oats, and turkey.

Feeling Much Better

Exercising early in the morning is key to starting my busy day off right. I have more energy, I'm relaxed,and my day just tends to go by smoothly. My current weight is 181lbs. My focus is now my abs. So my program is now weight training 3 days a week, and double cardio sessions 5 days a week. When I say double cardio, I do one session in the morning, and another one in the evening. I've cut nack on my portions, and drinking more water. My next step is clean eating. When I do cardio, I switch up. I do P90X cardio, Kenpo, and Plyo. I also do the Biggest Loser dvd. I get my kids envolved by doing Dance Central, or Michael Jackson Experience on the Kinect. Switchimg up my workout keeps me from getting bored. I have free weights at home. I really enjoy working out at home.
