This is what can Happen when you Work-Out!

Crucified myself while working out!  This is after surgery.  Had 3 srews and a metal plate put into my hand.  A metal hook went right through the middle of my hand and out the other side.  Went back to the gym one week later.  Can't lift anything for 2-3 months.

Another Day!

Another Day of not wanting to exercise, but knowing how good I'll feel afterword. The psychological game I play with myself, ugh!

Back to the Gym!

Ate horrible yesterday! Feel like crap. On my way to the gym. Completely dreading it! I'm sure I've done my body at least a weeks worth of damage in one Sunday! Ugh................

Crazy!

It's funny because I created this blog and now I never blog! I had all these things to say about fitness and now it seems I don't have anything to say. Well I guess I do just no time!

The bottom line is there is no easy way to loose weight or look good. It is all hard and it kicks my butt every day! It takes forever to see progress! The older you get the harder it gets.

Sometimes I ask myself why do I wake up everyday at 5am and workout for an hour and a half until I'm sweating so bad I look like I just got out of the shower? I've decided it's because it feels soo good! There is absolutely nothing like it.

I have a love hate relationship with my workouts. I'm hating it while I'm in it, but I love it when I'm done.

When you pig out you feel like crap!!! When you don't exercise you feel even crappier! I know those are not nice words, but they are soooo true!

So heres to continueing the journey! More protien has been my key to adding more muscle and decreasing my body fat. I'm at 17 percent body fat now, but my goal is 11!

Great Protiens

It has always been hard for me to get my protein in, so I'm always up for low calorie high protein foods that are edible. When I say edible I mean being able to eat it with out feeling like your going to throw up after! My favorite is 1 whole egg and 4 extra egg white, a half ounce of mozzarella cheese salt and pepper and then scrambled! Only 110 calorie and 33 grams of protein!!! Love it! White Tuna is also a good quick protein. Six ounces is only 180 calories and 39 grams of protein.

Diets are Hard!

Lost 4lbs so far in one week. Pretty good, but how come I am not happy with that? I know because I want a treat and I haven't met my goal! Actually I don't want a treat I want Nachos from Baja(: I love food. I do feel like I want to eat healthier over all. I will continue on, maybe I'll throw a free day in here and there. Darn left my broccoli on too long and now it is mushy, bummer, looks like mushy broccoli for me tonight!!

The Diet!

I started my metifast diet last Wednesday! I've lost three pounds already. I know I was not a lot over weight, but I had about 10lbs I needed to get rid of. I am so glad it is just 10 lbs now because diets are hard. I love the metifast diet because it keeps your insulin levels balanced and you really do feel satisfied. It also helps you get back into eating and wanting to eat healthy.

In life you need these little corrections or before you know it life has taken control of you and you look in the mirror and say "who is that person?"

The weekends are the hardest for me, but since Brent (my hubby) is being careful it makes it a whole lot easier!!

I'll be sticking to this until I reach my goal. There's nothing like being true to yourself to help your self esteem. Seriously on this diet I don't even think I am grumpy because your always eating healthy meals.
