Fit with Ruthie

I found this video tonight.. he doesnt come out and say he did body for life but I just wonder.. he did say that the last 30 something lbs he lost was a 12 process. (hum).. he does say some good things about making the decision to change... thought i would share.

eats for today: meal 1 eggs made with pam spray, 1 biscuit, tea Meal 2 ham on one slice of bread with mustard and a tiny bit of miracle whip, 5 chips, tea, water Meal 3 (about an hour later) 1 tangelo 1 cracker meal 4 left over turkey burrito with a teaspoon of lite sour cream, tea, Meal 5 chicken from chicken express (2 small strips), half a baked tater, 5 bites of fried okra, tea (I know this isnt really on program but its the end of the month and we are trying to eat all our leftovers. the main thing here is I DID NOT over eat, I didn't really WANT to eat this but want to hold off going shopping until payday :) Meal 6 (shake) no sodas today.. I am feeling good too! no headaches, a bit of low energy but when I eat on time I am fine. My workout today you ask? I did over head tricep extensions and 30 pushups for chest (our garage/gym is filled with new doors, lumber for canvas frames, a new dishwasher, (and more is coming tomorrow morning!) etc.. can only get to the free weights.....

******************UPDATE@@@@@@@ I just wanted to post a quick post.. this is after I wrote all this below.. so sorry its out of order... I just wanted to make sure I put my workout down... I did 12 squats followed right away by 12 deadlifts I repeated this 4 times without a break.... Then I went right into 12 back flies followed directly by 12 bicep curls.. I repeated that 4 times. I guess Its my version of body pump :) a good cardio workout and a good weight workout.. I know I will be sore tomorrow.. cause I already feel it.. ") Now.. for those of you who havent read my Blog Therapy post .. here it is : This weekend has been a bit busy. We have spent lots of time at lowes and home depot getting things we have needed for a LONG time. Supplies to finish out master bath (we have been without for over a year) and .. YIPEE for me a new IRON! (I am so excited about ironing clothes now :) .. .. anyway.. its been busy but I am so glad that the shopping part is over.. I dont do well spend...

just have to clean them up a bit and I am done :) .. . Progress.. .. now time to go wash some dishes :) blessings r

And.. you yet again thought I missed a workout.. but NO .. I just couldnt post my workout yesterday cause DH has been trying to get the two computers for the kids linked to the internet.. I had a great post but lost it.. Yesterday my eats were pretty bad but I went for a GREAT run 2.5 miles last night... I seemed to run in record time and i think it was cause of the high carb meal (Pizza) I had about an hour before. (DH and the kids wanted to order pizza.. I wanted to work on art and not have to clean the kitchen.. so pizza it was).... You can probably guess.. but at 330 last night I was up and in pain with an upset tummy.. REJECTing the Pizza! .. nothing like a tummy ache to make you want to eat better. :) I have yet to workout today but will later this evening.. I am close to finishing another art project and cant wait to finish so I can move on to painting a window :) Thats all for now.. seems I am hanging on to the bandwagon .. need some encouragement to stay on eats.. tummy ache d...

10 min to lost but had to post. I came close to NOT doing it today.. just a really busy day .. with teaching kindergarten on wednesday nights.. but thats only for 4 more weeks.. its just more work and i like doing it but feel my family is more important than teaching K. i worked out after church tonight.. chest flies, press shoulder flies, press tri extensions and over head ext. I changed it up a bit for upper body as my should had been hurting.. I think its an ingury I will have until I get really old and end up having to have rotator cuff surgery. (thanks to 10+ years of softball) ook.. more later.. better get in the kitchen and make my shake before DH wants me in front of Lost to watch with him :) I am having issues with eats.. .. getting really full quickly and then STARVING an hour later.. .. but I am not staying completely on program.. I know that is why.. will try to be better tomorrow progress .. NOT perfection right? PS.. i DID get some artwork done today :) yipee! how was yo...

Ok.. so another day to mark off that I have NOT missed. YIPEE! just three days to go until free day. (I have decided to again make Sat. my free eats and workout day.) I ran on the treadmill.. it felt sooooooooo good. The windows are up in the house.. its about 80 degrees and HUMID.. (we had thunderstorms come through about noon and so its nice and steamy!).. As I ran I could smell the Sweet William (flowers) that are in our front flower bed and OH it smelt sooo good. I got on thinking I would just walk.. at least I could walk for 20 mins if nothing else. I was on for 5 minutes and decided to jog.. then I decided.. could I jog at 11.15 pace (approx 11 min mile) for 15 mins without stopping? So I gave it a try.. and i DID! YIPEE! I then walked another 5 mins to cool down and ended up doing 30 mins and 2 miles. But I was happy with my Pace run of 15 mins.. it felt so good. I did abs right after.. and stretched.. my abs are really sore from the other day but I did work until I was burning....
