Such a busy day!!!

Why is it that days off always fly by but work drags?? I just had two days off and they seemed to go by in a flash. I didn't even really get to enjoy them by relaxing we were go go go! Today we got up and I went straight to the eye dr to order prescription sunglasses then came home and went on a unintentional cleaning mission. Hubs and I spent the whole day cleaning and organizing and getting rid of so much junk, it was nice to de clutter a little bit, but we still have more to go. Before I knew it it was time for Zumba. Monday Zumba is my fave workout class of the week and it seems to fly by. I love the music and the moves it's just a lot of fun. Then my friend invited me to go to a kickboxing class with her and hour after zumba ended and I decided to do it. It wasn't as intense as the zumba was but I still had fun. I think I may start doing that every monday after zumba. looking forward to spin express tomorrow but I'm pooped and I have to work the next five days time to get some rest.

Onto 30 day's of pics now up to
Day 17.

Weigh in!!

Today was my weigh in and to be honest I was little nervous because of how I ate the mexican food that my grandma made me at the beginning of the week but when I got on the scale it read 174.2!! That is a loss of 2.8lbs!! I was so happy I have been trying really hard and the last two weigh ins have been pretty shotty which can be really discouraging so I'm happy to see that things are back to normal and the scale is heading back in the right direction. Today we went hiking with some friends I hiked the same mountain about a month or more ago and I had a pretty difficult time. Now being 10lbs lighter I could definitely tell the difference it wasn't as hard. I love hiking so much but hubby is not really into cardio since he is trying to gain weight I think I'm going to try to start going in the am before it gets hot here. Then I went to the tanning salon. It's been a while since I have gone. I signed up for three months then I'm going to cancel it cuz it will be pool time here in az. I'm looking forward to getting some color. Yes I know the risks so please hold all opinions : ) Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and have a healthy week Zumba tomorrow can't wait!!!

Back to regular scheduled programming...

It's been a while I have had a jam packed week and by the time I get home I'm exhausted so I haven't been around to write but I have been reading everyone's blogs while I'm at work but I'm not able to comment. Monday and Wednesday was zumba and Tuesday I did my first spin express class which was awesome but really intense. I also did the ab butt and thigh class again and I came to find out that I have a super weak core. We did a plank move where you lean forward and backward on your toes then stop and stay in plank and stick one leg out to the side at a time its crazy out of the three people in  the class I was the only one that couldn't do it : ( I tried my hardest but I was too weak. But that gives me something to work towards!! Tomorrow is my weigh in looking forward to seeing it I didn't do too well with eating well just in the dinner department at the beginning of the week my grandma made me green chili  I went to her house and I haven't seen her in a few months (few months too long!) and she had green chili, beans, and salsa made for me. The first thing I did was panic. Thinking, how can I track this? how bad is this? what's in it? Then I just sat back and said this is ridiculous my grandma is getting older she never has energy to really do anything and I'm not going to over think this and I'm going to enjoy it in the correct portions and that's exactly what I did. It was so delicious and I have no regrets!! I have the next two days off with my hubby and I'm looking forward to what I see tomorrow.

Since I have been off of here I need to get caught up on my 30days of pics. I'm not going to bail on it I have to complete something for once in my life!!

weigh in

Yesterday was a busy day went to worked then went to dinner with the father in law for hubby's bday. I think I did fairly well I looked at the menu earlier in the day and decided what I wanted to eat so I wouldn't be tempted later and I decided on the tilapia. I'm so glad I decided on it, it was so delicious it was on top of spinach and tomato's with an mango glaze on it. I had two glasses of wine and two biscuits with cesear salad. I was little worried going out to dinner the night before a weigh in because of the sodium but I can't put my life on hold because of weigh in. I have to just make the best choices with what is given to me. So this morning I got on the scale and saw 177.0 that's a loss of .8lbs this week. I took a second pee in the am and got back on the scale and it said 176.2 but I'm going with the first weigh in and calling it a day. I put the scale up in the closet and I'm not going to use it until next Sunday I want to be excited when I see my weigh in and not seeing the up and down changes all week. I missed my pic for yesterday since I was so busy so I'm going to do it now : )

My lord and Savior

 Tomorrow is another busy day getting the taxes done, zumba, and dinner with the mother in law.

feeling off today...

So I didn't have a good nights sleep last night I was up at all hours and every little noise woke me up. Then hubby had to be up at 4:45 and once he left I could not get back to sleep for like an hour and once I did it seemed like my alarm went off right after I fell asleep. Then I went to zumba and I just couldn't get into it... the Monday class I got to is more hip hop modern music when this one is more salsa which obviously is what zumba is all about but I just felt blah when I was there. Then I saw my reflection in the mirror in the class and I just felt so upset about every flaw I had. It seemed like that mirror highlighted everything I don't like about myself and I felt like I was the fattest one in the room. I got on the scale this morning and it was back to what it was last Sunday earlier in the week I was down to 175 now back up to 177. I have been eating right, following all my points, working out more then ever and it's up. I think I need to stay away from the scale and only go on it once a week. I'm not going to think about it anymore until Sunday. Anyway so I had a delicious dinner tonight it was quick and easy.

6pts+

I baked my chicken first using a little bit of garlic salt and onion powder at 375 for about 35-40mins then I used 3tbs of salsa on the chicken with 1/4cup of cheddar cheese and put it in the microwave to melt the cheese. I wanted my measurements  to be exact instead of just putting it on the chicken in the oven.  While the chicken was cooking I steamed my veggies and added one tsp of butter and I have enough chicken left for lunch tomorrow.

Onto my 30days of pics.

7. A picture of your most treasured item 

My wedding ring

 This is the most important thing to me besides my family. Mine and my hubby's wedding rings. They represent a bond that no one can break and a union that God decided. Even if your not doing the 30days of pics what is your most treasured item.

Another day another pic and recipe!

Today I took the day off from the gym I am incredibly sore from the workout last night it even hurts to sit on the toilet I haven't been this sore in a long time, but tomorrow is Zumba!! So for dinner I wanted something different so I threw together this recipe and it came out so good but it wasn't very filling I was still hungry after.

Start with making biscuits I bought the low fat ones

After they cook cut them in half

Then I split 1/4cup of tomato sauce on two pieces then used 1/4cup of cheese on both then topped it with turkey pepperoni and added some mushrooms on some of them. I put them in the oven at 350degrees until the cheese melted.

2 of these equal 8pts+

Onto my picture of the day
6. A picture of a person you’d love to trade places with for a day

Sandra Bullock

 She is so pretty and thin and has a hot boyfriend. I think it would be awesome so see how it is to be a movie star! Be back tomorrow with another update and another picture!

I'm pooped!!

I just got home from the gym and I am exhausted!!! I went to a Abs, gluets, and thigh class and it kicked my butt but I like that feeling!! After that I did c25k week 2 day 1 on the treadmill it felt good to run again since I was sick last week. Then after I was done I walked on the treadmill and watched the biggest loser. I have never seen that show before and it seemed pretty interesting I think I may start to record it. So I took a peek at the scale this morning and I was down to 175.0 So I hope that sticks through to the end of the week I guess eating right and working out really can make a differnce. So onto day 5 of my pictures.
