I couldn't believe my eyes!!

So I got on the scale this morning and when I did I looked down and saw 186.8!! I couldn't believe it. I looked at it and thought to myself, "hm no that can't be right." So I moved it and tried it again and it said the same thing!! My totm is about over and so when I checked my weight on Sunday it was at 188.4 or around that I can't remember but I guess that was bloating. Now its almost gone and I'm down to 186.8! I'm so super excited I am almost to my 10lb mark! I think it wont take much longer for me to get there because I moved up on Power 90 to phase 3-4! It kicks my butt but I can definitely feel the difference. It's so much more intense and faster paced. I actually get sore and tired when before I would be tired but never sore. I'm excited to do my next 30days and see what the results will be! Hope you all have a good day!

A lot of catching up to do...

It's been a few days since I last wrote, I don't even know why I have been coming on and reading everyone Else's blogs but haven't had the motivation to write in my own. I guess now that I have built up a following I should write more  : ). Sunday was a fail for me all of my hard work pretty much went down  the drain that day and my lack of sleep finally caught up with me. First off the day before we once again went out with some friends and they wanted to go to a wine bar. That is my biggest weakness!  So we went and I had a wine flight which was amazing by the way I figure why deprive myself of things I love. I'm going to die in the end anyway so why not do what I like but still not give up on my goal or over indulge! We got some food while we were there but it was the healthier options but then we went and  had frozen yogurt. That I'm sure I could of have done without but whatever. So the next morning is my weekly weigh in and I figured I would of have lost something but the scale was not liking me that morning. I Went from 191.8lbs the previous week to 192.2 which I understand is nothing but just seeing a higher number after a hard week of work bums me out. So fast forward to that night I had just got home from work and was lounging around with hubby. I had to make dinner but could not find the motivation to make anything. I really I mean REALLY wanted pizza. I figured its quick and easy and I can just sit on the couch with my hubby and watch grey's anatomy and eat pizza. Well that didn't happen the hubs would not let me order pizza and it made me so angry and put me in a bad mood. It's pretty bad when I get that pissed about not being able to eat something even when its in my best interest. So I ended up cooking dinner and my recipe for the day was a turkey burger with cottage fries (12skinny ones) and a salad and it was so good! I was proud of myself for eating well and not giving in to my huge craving even though I would have if hubby wasn't around. Isn't that awful!

So I started week three of Power 90 and the workouts still kick my butt and I'm only on level 1-2. I put in the dvd for level 3-4 just to see what I should be expecting and it is exactly the same thing just at a way faster pace. I already have a hard time keeping up then they expect me to put it in fast forward mode! Well that won't be for about another 4weeks so hopefully I will be able to keep up.

On Monday I went to the store to get my groceries for the week but have been having a hard time finding soy nuts so I thought I would try sprouts before heading to the regular store. That may have been the best decision I have ever made. I had never been there before and so I found the soy nuts and decided to look around and see what else on my list I could get. They had almost everything I needed and some things were in a way healthier form. So I go to check out and thought it would be pretty expensive and I only spent $60! The same things would have cost me over $100 at fry's. So Sprouts is my new go to place. I was so happy.  So my eating plan has some amazing food on it like I have said before. I can't believe some of the recipes it has on there they are so good! So I wanted to share another for all the cat fish lovers out there. I had never  had catfish but I tried it and it was amazing!!

Another awesome workout complete!!!

Day 3 is done and so far I'm loving power 90!! The workouts and the meal plan everything is perfect for me... well as long as it works ; ) I started the program they way it was recommended with circuit and sweat 1-2 at first it seemed easy but by the end of both workouts I was sweating my butt off and tired! I think I will advance to circuit 3-4 before moving up to sweat 3-4. Once I can complete the workouts with 12lbs of weight and do all 15 reps then I will know its time to move forward. Right now I'm alternating between 8 and 10lbs. I think doing p90x for a while helped out in that aspect. The cardio and abs is another story its hard but I can keep up but have to pause it a few times. The abs are killer its only 100 moves but I can't do all of it yet so I know once I can finish that with no hesitation that's when I will move up. I still have time its only my 3rd day but I like to be optimistic : )

The diet is working well too, the food is so good. I am using beachbody's website and it has the full meal plans I have been seeing a lot of the recipes and I think they sound so gross but then I try them they are so good! Like today for my morning snack it was a wheat tortilla with pesto spread then you put chicken, with artichoke hearts and scallions on it. Now I have never had pesto, or artichoke by itself, so it sounded awful to me but it was so delicious!! I can't wait to see what is in store for me next week!!

Day one is in the books!

So I completed day 1 diet and all. I think Power 90 is definitely up my alley I really like it. It's not as intense as P90X but still gets me sweating and tired. The diet was good easy to follow but hurt my wallet. I bought so many random things that I have never heard of or ever purchased in my life, but the food was so good! Protein shake for breakfast, nuts for snack, then I had chicken with spaghetti sauce and Parmesan cheese on a bun for lunch. So amazingly good. Dinner was interesting the ingredients called for beef, orange marmalade, stir fry sauce,  cayenne pepper, and beef broth. To be honest when I read the recipe it sounded awful but it all came together and tasted amazing!  I'm excited for tomorrow I'm ready to get the ball rolling. Hope you all enjoy the journey and thanks for reading and sharing my experience with me!!

New blog I'm following!! ( Nice name) : )

Feeling Guilty

So I lost about five pounds as of last week but then it was my bday on Saturday and Steve and I went on vacation to a resort and all they had was junk food. Food is my weakness and it sucks. When we got back I didn't even want to step on the scale. I didn't gorge myself but I don't want to see if anything changed. I'm just going to wait until the first 30days of the workout program are done with. I start this Monday I'm so excited for my power 90 journey!!

Finally Some results!!

So I stepped on the scale yesterday after completing the two day cleanse and I went from 195.6 to 190.4!!! So exciting to see a change. I haven't weighed this since the beginning of the year!!! Now I'm on the 6day workout plan that includes doing the "Fat burning express" workout it is intense!!! It really kicks my butt and I haven't been sore like this in a while but I love it. The meal plan is also so easy to follow which is perfect for me because I pretty need to be told what to eat and measurements of the actual food. I ordered the whey protein and also their slimming formula. I'm here to go all and out and to succeed. I will be starting the power 90 program on the 16th of this month because we are going on vacation next week and I don't want to miss any days no excuses no b.s. If we start the following Monday I know we have a better chance at succeeding...

Day 2 of the cleanse...

So its day two of my cleanse and its 10:38pm. It for sure was not easy but I did it.. this morning I weighed myself and lost 3lbs, I'm curious to what the scale will say in the morning. I'm so hungry and can't wait to eat but I'm proud of myself for not cheating once. It was killing me seeing people eat burgers at work or hubby eating bratwurst tonight. We also went to the store and I got all the food for the next six days I'm following beachbodys six day fat burner program then I'm going to jump into power 90. I ordered my whey protein and their slimming pills and got the meal plan online set up. This should pretty much be fool proof as long as I don't "cheat" and stick to the plan which I so doable.

Here is what I got in my beachbody package. The only thing missing is the container of the 2day cleanse. I have all the things to help me succeed. I'll start the power 90 fat burning system tomorrow. Its only six days then I have to change the diet to more carb because its a high protein diet that shouldn't be followed for longer then that but I'm so excited I can't wait to see what happens!!!

It Arrived!!

So my beachbody box arrived today I'm so excited! I'll post up a pic later i'm at work and wasn't able to take a pic before I left. But in it was all the videos, a measuring tape, cookbook thing, a 6 day slim down book, and a 2 day fasting shake. I started the shake today because I had a horrible eating weekend and figured now would be the best time to do it. Then after the two days of having a shake for breakfast, lunch and dinner I will jump into the 6 day slim down thing. All I can say is that I'm STARVING it's crazy but I'm going to push through it. This is my time and I can't wait for the results!!!

It shipped!!

So in my new journey to get fit I ordered p90 like I said before. When I ordered it off of beachbody's website I was bombarded with extra offers it was insane. I would hit next and it would say "act now get this for free just pay shipping," or "special offer get blah blah videos to amp up your results" I couldn't believe it. One of the benefits of ordering it off of beachbody's site was that they give you "express" shipping but I ordered it monday and still haven't got it, maybe monday. I'm super excited to start the program but I think I'm for sure going to wait until we get back from our staycation! I know I can commit to 90days and I dont want any distrations or any reason for me to say oh not tonight so its better if we wait! I'll put up a pic of my packet when I get it!!
