45 Day Challenge: Days 6-9

Wow, I am slackin' on the updates!! Anyway here we go...

Day 6:

Weight: 210

Breakfast: veggies and ranch

Lunch: Salad with Turkey and Avocado

Dinner: Faustos Carne Asada Taco Salad- no rice, no shell

Exercise: None

Day7:

Weight: Didn’t weigh myself

Breakfast: Mixed Nuts

Lunch: Vegetable Soup

Dinner: El Pollo Loco Chicken Avocado salad-no shell

Snacks: Beef jerky, Mixed Nuts, Veggies

Exercise: none

Day 8:

Weight: 205!!!!! I had to get off the scale and get back on to make sure it was correct! Woot Woot!

Breakfast: Bacon and Cheese Omelet and Tomato Slices

Lunch: Rotisserie Chicken, Tomato Slices and Avocado Slices

Dinner: Pesto Chicken and grilled veggies

Snacks: Sugar Free chocolates, peanut butter and cool whip

Exercise: I got in about 10 minutes of Crossfit. I had to take my kids with me, and the baby was having none of it, so I had to leave early :(

Day 9:

Weight: 206.5 ( I am out of ice, and without ice, it is hard for me to drink water, thus I am retaining water, which I assume is the 1.5lb difference from yesterday)

Breakfast/lunch: Egg Whites and sausage patty and avocado slices

Dinner: Chicken taco salad

Snacks: Peanut butter and cool whip (light) and sugar free pudding

Exercise: Attempted to go to CrossFit, but was late and no one was there. Then came home and attempted to do p90x, but my baby kept crawling under my feet, and wanting to be picked up. So, I ended up going on a 30 minute walk pushing a double stroller with 60lbs worth of kids inside it :) Made for a good workout since half of it was uphill, against the wind!!!

Anyway, that is all for now! I am super happy with my results, and have come to the conclusion that my body just does not like to lose weight until about 8 months after I have a baby. I thought it was because that is when I would really start working out hard after my other two, but I now realize it is just how my body works, and I am OK with that, now that I understand it. I do need to get better about breakfast! I don’t think I have really eaten breakfast all week!! EEKKK! In a little over 2 weeks I am doing the Devil Dash... It would be wonderful to be at least another 6lbs lighter pulling myself over the obstacles :) Plus I would love even more to be out of the FUGLY 200's!!!!

45 Day Challenge: Days 3-5

Yup, I suck at writing every day! I think about it, but my bed just always sounds so much better at night! haha! Anyway, I am feeling great. South Beach hasn’t been that hard this time around. I think it’s because I have been so busy, I don’t have time to realize I’m missing bread and soda and sugars....

Day 3:

Weight: 212.5

Exercise: 20 minute run/walk, the P90X abs ripper (also did this one wed)

Diet: I will try my best to remember this!

Breakfast: eggs with bell peppers and onion and a sausage patty

Lunch: Turkey sandwich with Romaine lettuce in place of bread with broccoli and tomato slices

Dinner: Homemade Vegetable soup

Snacks: mixed nuts

Day 4:

Weight: 212.5

Exercise: None :( had a very long day in the sun a the Heritage Days festival

Diet:

Breakfast: Body by Vi shake with Almond Milk

Lunch: Some Spicy BBQ (didn’t know it was just bbq sauce or I wouldn’t have gotten it, but I was so hungry I ate it anyway) chicken with the insides of a pot sticker

Dinner: Faustos Carne Asada Taco Salad-no rice, no shell

Snacks: None

Day 5:

Weight: 210.0

Exercise: None- Sunday is definitely a rest day in this casa

Diet:

Breakfast: Body by Vi shake with Almond Milk

Lunch: Salad with turkey and avocado

Dinner: Chicken breast with wing sauce and fresh veggies dipped in low fat ranch

Snacks: Sugar Free chocolates, and veggies (throughout the day, not together)

I have found that I will pick one thing to snack on, and then i keep snacking on it all day. I feel great, and accomplished, already down 4.5 pounds. And surprisingly it has not been that hard this time around. I haven’t really craved bread, or soda. Chocolate is another story, hence the reason I bought a bunch of sugar free candy! It has gotten me through! Another snack/dessert I have found to be amazing is peanut butter with cool whip! OMG I could eat the whole jar! But don’t worry, I won’t! I usually just eat one serving of peanut butter, maybe a little more ;)!!

 

45 Day challenge: Days 1 and 2

I am doing a 45 day challenge. I want to lost 30lbs in 45 days. I will try my very hardest to blog daily, but seeing as this is my second day and I am already playing catch up, its not looking good! haha.

Total inches: 280.5

Exercise: Crossfit- 10 squat push press (10lb dumbbells), 5 Burpess, up/down 5 flights of stairs with 10lb medicine ball- 15min. I completed just under 4 rounds (didnt get the last set of stairs in, darn. Ha!)

Diet: Breakfast- Body by Vi shakes with unsweetened Almond Milk instead of Milk

         Lunch: BLT salad

         Dinner: Mexican Chicken (taco seasoned Chicken breast topped with guac, tomatoes, spicy jack cheese, lettuce and black beans)

Day two:

Weight: 213.5

Total Inches: I will measure once a week

Exercise: Crossfit- 10 Deadlifts (35lb bar), 10 push ups, 10 sledge hammer (each side, 20 total), 30 lunges, and run a short-ish lap- 20min 3 rounds.

Diet: Breakfast- Body by Vi shake with Almond Milk

        Lunch: egg whites with veggies

        snacked on a lot of salty stuff like a pickle and some green olives (my feet and hands are not happy with me now)

I need to work on snacking between meals. Tomorrow my goal is to get some veggies cut up and easy to grab. My body is tired after a 2 week vacation and getting back into the swing of things, but I guess that means I am working hard!
