We All Do It!
We All Do IT!
Did you know we all overdo it? Here's the scuttlebutt. We all overeat on occasion and, boy, I did it right! I had a very busy day. I didn't really eat all day. It was more like a snacking day. I didn't sit and eat. I worked out, but didn't really take the time to sit and feed my body.
By dinnertime I wasn't just hungry, I was so hungry it felt like my stomach was going to implode on itself. Of course, I was out and not able to cook. So, there was Subway. Fairly healthy and I can make it healthier. Instead of eating the 6", I order the 12'. WHAT was I thinking!? My dinner was a 12' turkey with, mustard, mayo, cheese, lettice, tomatoes, pickles, olives, bacon, oil & vinegar, salt & pepper! Oh, large iced tea AND a bag of chips. Don't forget the cookie!
When you work out regularly you just don't need to eat that much. Your body is more efficent and burns your food more efficently. Bottom line. . .I was in so much pain! My stomach felt like it was going to explode. It was the worst pain ever. I was finally able to get up off the couch and I started to walk around the house. I got into my bedroom and started to work my abs out. I needed my body to start processing that food! I did short bursts of an ab workout and then rested. I finally started to get comfortable again. I was so full I didn't eat again until the next day. Believe me, I got back on track.
So, as you an see, even coaches overdo it and, yes, we regret it. But, we get right back on track. One mistake does not mean failure. It means you simply got off track. Life today is fast and we need to slow it down, thats what our workout are for. We speed up to slow down. We work our bodies to calm our minds and control our lives. So, just remember. . .it's ok.

100 Doctors & Nutrition
100 Doctors!
I'm always talking about my journey through the world of fitness. But, along with the fitness goes nutrition. I know it's hard to eat well all the time. Lets face it we all love those McDonald's fries. One of my favorite treats is the number 1 at McDonald's. . .Big Mac meal. Yeah, I know. but, it's a reward, not a way of life. I also enjoy Cheetos Puffs and a good old fashioned Hershey Bar. . .with nuts! I'm about eating what I want in moderation.
With the holidays coming it's important to start practicing eating in moderation. Since I work out 6 days a week when I overeat my stomach hurts so bad it's incredible. I didn't know I could be so VERY UNCOMFORTABLE! When I started on my road to nutritional health I cut out ALL soda. Did you know that if you cut out one Diet Coke a day you could potentially lose 1 pound a month! That's significant. You could replace that soda, all soda with an Izzy. I love those, especially the Blackberry and the Grapefruit. I drink juice in moderation, water, iced tea (sweet tea is usually to sweet) and a number of organic juices. This is a good place to start. Water is so essential for our bodies. I like to call it the "nectar of the gods". It is totally refreshing, feeds and helps to cleanse the body and is great for the skin keeping it hydrated.
I know it's hard. It was hard for me. Work, kids, extracurricular activity and just life in general. My secret was my Crock Pot! I L-O-V-E my Crock Pot! I put it on before I go to work and when I get home I have a hot meal for my family. All I have to do is steam some veggies (5 minutes) and make a salad (5 minutes). It's just so easy and the amount of items you can make in it are un-numerable. chicken is the best and the easiest.
The link at the top this week is for a meal replacement. It's a good place to start if your a busy mom, dad, student or just a busy person. check it out. And, as usual, here is a recipe for your health an nutrition.
Here's a recipe for a better nights sleep:
1 banana
1 medjool date
1 fig
12 cashews
add almond milk and blend

Lookin' Good!!!
Get Noticed
So, here's a short story that just delighted the hell out of me. It makes me want to get up and get my workout done everyday just so It can happen again!
Well, I work a shift that's mostly guys. I'm just one of the guys, really. They don't pay to much attention to me. We talk, we have lunch in the lunchroom, we pal around. Well, last week one of the guys looked at me and said, "WOW! Are you loosing weight? You look awsome"! I said thanks and before I knew it he says, "Your curves are like. . .curvey! You have some nice curves, girl"! I said thanks and went on my way.
But, I had this great smile on my face!
I work so hard working out, eating right (yeah, I cheat occasionally), making sure make time for myself and trying to just keep myself, my home and my kid together. This was concrete validation that all my hard work is showing! I'm transforming my body and it's all good. Last week my legs hurt so bad, but today they just look great and they feel pretty good.
So, keep working, keep getting up and doing it. PUSH! It only hurts for a short time.
Heres a nice receipe for a sweet treat. I make it with all organic stuff. Make it to taste.
This is a non-bake cookie. So, you just need a pot.
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
1c1/4 sugar (you an use less. This amount makes it really sweet. I use less.)
Boil 3-5 minutes then remove from the flame
4 heaping tbs. cocoa (use baking cocoa, no sweetness)
1/2c peanut butter (smooth or nutty)
1/4c coconut (optional)
2 1/2 - 3c of oats (any type of oatmeal will do)
1 tsp. vanilla
Stir it all together, spoon it onto wax paper so you get cookie sized, or larger, cookies.
I put them in the refrigerator so they get hard, but you can eat them right out of the pot. ENJOY!

New Day, New Juice
Results Are Waiting!
Hey it's Hump Day!! Otherwise known as Wednesday. Today I did my second workout with Chalene Extreme, Burn #2. I really do like her style of coaching you through the workout. She's just really relaxed and nice about it. I did learn that Janelle is her sister! It's awesome that her family is willing to work with her (her husband is in the Basic DVD).
The first day I was a little disappointed. It was slower than I normally go. I mean, c'mon, I just finished Insanity. And, I didn't seem to get the results I was looking for. . .instant! But, you have to stick to a new routine and adjust. Having just finished Insanity my upper arm strength is better than it's ever been. I wasn't thinking about lifting weights and my new found muscle in the same thought pattern. The weights I had were great for Insanity. . .but not CE. CE is a whole other level!
Today I did my second workout Burn #2. I still need heavier weights. I did find my 5 ponders, they just weren't enough. I need 10 and 15 ponders, THEN I should be able to feel the "fail" point. I do, however, feel the pain in my legs. That lower body workout was killer. She had my legs shaking and definitely reaching their work point. So, at this point I'm still waiting to see what happens with this workout, but I am getting very happy with it.
Below is a great Green Juice recipe. I love this. Yes, it does taste a little like grass, but you can add just a taste of honey and it will help. If you don't like honey then you'll have to take it straight, you can follow with an orange wedge!
CHARD, GREEN APPLE, GREEN PEPPER, ROMAINE LETTUCE, CELERY, PURPLE CABBAGE
You can omit whatever you don't like and add more of one of the other ingredients. I don't like the peppers so I add mor chard and green apple.

T-Shirt Excitement!
This is the post I just posted on my BeachBody Team site. As you can see I have had significant success with my BeachBody Workouts. They just don't feel like workout anymore. They are hard and I sweat like crazy! Sometimes I have to stop because I can't see through my glasses! But, they are worth it. I am lookinig at dresses fro the Christmas parties that are upcoming. I've actually never done that before.
I received my INSANITY I EARNED IT t-shirt! And, yes! I am a PROUD owner of it. Tomorrow I will be posting all new pictures on my site as I am now poised to start Chalene Exreme on Monday!
I am going to replacee my starting picture and my stats. And, this time I will take a picture every 30 days. I bought gloves to protect my hands from the weights and I bought some bigger weights to move along to. I am really excited to start this program.
At this time my jeans are to big, my shirts are falling off my shoulders and I can see my oblique lines and my rib and hip lines. I was lying on my side and my daughter asked me what was sticking out from under my shirt. I told her "thats me"! The bottom of my rib cage is now visable when I lie on my side or raise my arms up! It's AMAZING!
After CE I am already planning on T25. Sometime in the future I may get to P90X. But, I'm lovin' Shaun T right now, just needed a weighted workout to follow Insanity. I'm not going to be the size I was in high school. . .I'm going to be smaller.
