off to a great start.. recipes{WKOUT EATS UPDATE}

-
hey yall
well I am off to a good start this morning.. dispite not getting to sleep until after 2.. I dont know what was wrong last night.. I just couldnt sleep (hormones? getting old? who knows?)..
anyway.. I am determined today to be back on track as far as eats..
this morning I had my oatmeal and a glass of protein! success so far.. and yes.. I drank half my protein before I ate any carbs... :)

I wanted to ask if you gals wouldnt mind posting your 2 favorite bfl recipes I am ready to change things up a bit .. and seeing Sara's turkey wraps gave me an idea.. we need a recipe page! I might even create another blog to house our favorites .. and to list new things I/we find over the next .. well.. hopefully years! I think it would help me to remember "oh yeah . I remember eating that.. it was great!" after a while I get in a rut and start eating the same thing over and over..

anyway.. if you dont mind.. 2 recipes please.. whenever you have time .. no rush :)

OK>. created a blog to index the recipes .. let me know what you think..
click here :)

UPDATED!!!
Oh.. its been a fantasticalllllly almost fit forty day !!!!!
lets get the workout out of the way first:
I pushed myself.. hot and sweaty and def will be sore tomorrow.. lunges, squats, deadlifts, lat pulldowns, and bis..sometimes it just feels great to pick up the 25 lbers and curl a few.. I managed three on each hand .. but this was at the end of my workout :) .. I love using the "guys weights" :) ...

now on to eats..
meal #1 oatmeal (1/4 cup) with a little brown sugar and choc protein in water.
meal #2 taco stew left overs (burrito) with 6 chips water
Meal #3 1 lowfat cheese stick, 4 crackers, and a half a serving of low fat ham water
Meal #4 protein water (right now.. after I lifted)..
meal #5 will be pork chops in mushroom sauce, mash taters, water
meal #6 protein shake (oreo)

Now.. did you notice anything missing? you guessed it.. TEA. no tea for me today! just decided I need to drink water for a while.. I have had so much energy and felt really great all day .. but once .. right before meal #3 I waited a tad too long to eat and started getting moody :) .. but was happy I stayed on plan instead of grabbing cheerios :):)

i cant believe I am going to get 6 meals in today.. a new record for me.. yipee! I am so thrilled my progress today! .. now.. to just make THIS kind of day a habit!

happy wednesday

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

Bread.

on the way "home" from the grocery store with fruit and some gluten free bread products in my pack :) Oh how I have missed bread. You see I am someone who use to eat a whole loaf of garlic bread by myself on my "free day" when I did body for life. Yummy buttery bread. I have missed you. Since doing the gluten free thing I have avoided buying bread. Mainly because all I could find was 7 dollars a loaf! and that was a mini loaf :( . It just seemed too pricey. I would just not eat it. Its been almost 3 weeks since my last peice of ''real" bread. I have had moments (brief) of missing it. Lately, on our trip I have been missing it a lot. mostly cause we are doing sandwiches for lunch every day. Everyone else has bread and I have lettuce wraps.  In reality I cannot see living my whole life without bread. I have gluten free bread mix at home... but I didnt make it before we left on vacation. so today. We went for a walk I needed to get some fruit...

Happy to say I am not very saddle sore from the bike ride last night.. think this ole tush is getting use to riding again:) it was nice to get up this morning and get to workout.. I did three b's .. squats, leg extensions, dead lift, leg curls, bi curls and then I decided to throw in some abs cause I didnt do them last night.. :) I am feeling stronger and stronger and that feels nice. I am also getting leaner.. today I notice above my knee caps was CUT!.. I am not going to complain here.. because getting rid of fat is getting rid of fat.. but why.. I ask you .. does it come off my knee caps, and my shoulders instead of my baby belly or my bottom? .. its just not really that funny but I cant help but laugh.. what do to.. but to keep going.. and some day I will have the nice lean increadably cut knee knees I have always dreamed of. :) hehe.. Happy friday! taking the kids swimming today.. first time this summer. have to run and get suits for them.. they keep growing out of theirs! ho...
