I'm working this for the month of September! First day was yesterday and ugggghhh, these squats KICK BUTT!!! but at the end you should be much closer to a firmer butt, stronger legs, and a great core. join me on the journey...

today's meal plan:
Breakfast: greek skillet, w/onions, tomato, eggs, potatoes, feta and gyro meat
why such a "hearty" meal? because breakfast is truly for me my biggest meal of the day. Its cooked fresh for me and will keep me well past 3;00/4:00p.m.

Dinner: usually around 5:00pm
I roasted chicken with roasted garlic and herbs for seasoning, roasted green beans and tortellini stuffed with spinach. I will add a simple tomato base sauce for the tortellini.

*snacks* popcorn & tea with honey ONLY!

ENJOY your day!!

lets make it count the month of September! today's workout:

2mile walk/run
15sit ups
5 crunches
5 leg raises
10 sec plank

Lets get it!! Music of the hour:  C& C Music Factory
"Gonna Make you Sweat"

I'M BACKKKKKK!!!

WOW its funny how time flies, I can't believe it was two years ago that I started this journey. Since then I lost 50lbs gained 20lbs back and lost 10lb from there, its like a yo-yo affect when you aren't being true to your original goals. So here I am starting again and determined to finish what I've began. Can't wait to look back on this moment and be able to say "I WIN"!!

Team Accountability...

I knew once beginning this journey I would need an accountability team.  Here's a great example of what a Accountability Team does for me, today was a tough day I had so much running to do for my business, I was up by 7:30am and I didn't stop until right now as I'm writing this blog update at 11:03pm. But my number one fan in my team "Hillary" sent me a message halfway through my day that said "GET YOUR BUTT IN THE GYM OR SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN". That's exactly what I need someone that reminds me that throughout the day life is going to happen and I am in charge of my health, by eating right, managing stress and finding the right moments to "whoosa". So when 6pm came around I thought to myself...."guess I'll be sleeping with one eye open because I'm so tired and I still have a lot to do." But honestly, I felt that I couldn't let my team down. I knew that whoever didn't workout this morning was going to be there this evening and I didn't want to feel like I didn't give it my all. So 6:35 I was in the gym, 5 min late but I showed up. In health and life you can "pay now" with blood, sweat and tears or you can "pay later" with Meds and hospital beds. we all have to decide!

Morning nutrition:
egg whites with spinach, 2 turkey sausage, palm full of potatoes & 1/2 English muffin

Lunch Nutrition:
Carrot, Beets, Spinach, Apple "juicer"

Dinner Nutrition: (before 6pm)
Bean wrap (yummy)

dessert:
1 choc chip cookie w/nuts fresh baked by chelsea (only had one even though I wanted the plate :-))

Ugh...a 90 day Challenge Really??

If I told you I liked exercising I'd be lying...we truly have a "I only use you when I need too" relationship. Like when I notice I'm out of breath walking up the stairs, I think "hmm I should go back to the gym" or even if I want to get into that special occasion outfit. So joining a 90 day fitness challenge isn't easy, but I'm in and I'm committed and that's what counts!

My Fitness Goals:
Bear Crawls and 50 Pullups - for me this judges my body control and strength

Nutritional Goals:
Eating Clean, having the guts to choose a salad and not a hamburger and be happy with that choice.
