my thanksgiving plan

-
ok.. here is what i am thinking..

Thanksgiving is thursday.. i think i will make it to where I have two free meals that day. Maybe make my free day from 2 on Thursday to 2pm on Friday. .

SO.. THIS Saturday .. which it usually my free DAY.. I will have just as a free meal! (one meal).. thats it.. then back on track..

I read in the BFL book last night.. "your free day is just that.. you are FREE to take it.. or FREE to leave it"..

My eating was good today:

meal 1: Eggs with one piece of toast.. water.. then tea
meal 2: LEft overs speg meat sauce with one piece of bread and only garlic salt.. no butter
meal 3: tea and cup of cheerios (plain cheerios)..
meal 4: protein shake (banana) water water water (this was after I lifted.. was thirsty)
meal 5: open face ham patty with ketchup and tea
meal 6: (I might have a shake before bed.. but its only been 1.5 hours since i ate.. so we will see)

so.. here are the positives from today:
I DID NOT eat the cake at the party..
I did not go to the church and eat the turkey and dressing and all the fixings
I did not over eat on carbs..
I drank more water today then i did yesterday
I stopped eating when I was full
I had protein with all but one meal.. the carb meal (cheerios) was right before I lifted and it gave me energy for a good workout)..
I DID NOT eat cake at the Party!
I repeat! .. I DID NOT eat CHOCOLATE cake with BLUE BELL ice-cream.. at the party!

so.. more after HIIT tomorrow..

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 ...

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...

Beautiful Monday and Weekend food hangover

-
it was a beautiful morning at the track.. temp in the 50s and no wind! I walked a mile with a friend, then walked jogged 1.5 for total of 2.5 miles this morning.. We came home and I did some burpies with the boys then planks, leg lifts, sit ups, and leg side raises. Those burpies are hard.. I am so sloooooow at them.. but i managed 5. This weekend was free for eating.. I gave that meat a try and its interesting how my tummy reacted..I also had a few cokes.. Isnt it funny how when you dont drink them for a while and then start drinking them again they dont taste near as good as you remember :) anyway.. I am back to veggin it today and looking forward to some green smoothies as soon as i go buy some more spinach :) I am so happy to be seeing muscle showing up in my legs again and really hope this means burning off the fat is not far behind :) I am off to make some breakfast.. decisions decisions.. whole wheat or oatmeal? hummmm
