Day 11 Keep It Moving

Well I must say..I am motivated..I have recently had a influx of inboxs on Facebook thanking me for this blog...and telling me I help motivate them to do good! YES! I found my purpose lol...but that really did make me smile and helped motivate me to see that people are actually watching..paying attention and trying to make a change :)

Anywho I did go to two classes last night...and boy was I tired

Today I'm not feeling so hot so I wonder if my son gave me his cooties

Breakfast was a yogurt and banana

Snack a red pepper

and lunch I don't know something to calm my stomach down because I feel like freddy cruger is playing piano with my organs :(

If I don't feel any better I won't work out tonight..which means I will have to work out Friday Saturday and Sunday...We will see

Enjoy your day my luvs *muah*

Day 10 *insert catchy title here*

OH my what a Wednesday!

I did what I HATE people doing today and stepped on the scale AGAIN, and it said I am down 4 lbs! YESSSSSSSSS! But I have to stop doing that...

Well lets see last night I did make it to bootcamp where she kicked our butts! AGAIN!

Went to dinner with my children at quaker where I had chicken wings and a salad...because I was TO tired to cook!

Today I JUST ate breakfast at 10:51 pm WTH!

Yogurt and egg whites

My snack will be a banana

Lunch

I have to veggie morningstar patties with my veggie provolone cheese and brussel sprouts (don't judge me)

Snack
Peppers

Dinner:

I really am going to drink a shake tonight because I plan on staying for 2 classes (bootcamp and zumba) and do NOT want to eat to late

Day 9 (7 and 8 were lost in the sauce)

Well lets see..I left off Saturday...where I got to meet some friends of mine at Cheesecake factory.

Talk about NOT staying strong.

I ordered my usual..bang bang chicken and shrimp with brown rice instead of white rice..hoping I would feel better about my decision..then dessert came...*sigh* yes I ate a pc of my Godiva Choc. Cheesecake...boy was I WEAK.

I went out that night, only had one drink..something called a "diva" from Bar Louie.

About 4am went to ihop and tried to get back on track with my omelet I get from there
It has spinach turkey sausage onion mushroom and provolone.

NOT A GOOD IDEA!

I was really sore Sunday Morning and decided to relax, plus my kids were coming back from Columbus.

So ended up at the Outback...and NO I wasn't any better, had shrimp and sirloin steak with a sweet potato and salad. SMH

So yesterday I got back on track THANK GAWD!!!!

For breakfast it was egg whites and turkey sausage

For snack cucumber

For lunch a turkey salad i made

For snack an apple

For dinner rotisserie chicken broc and cauliflower

and LOTS of water probably around 130 ozs the whole day.

My son is sick with the stomach flu so we were at the ER last night but I was proud I still stuck back to my plan.

I didn't get to work out as planned.

So today...been super busy...working on launching a new website for my motorcycle club, getting my sales numbers at work, amongst other ordinary life situations. But I stuck to my plan!

Breakfast: Yogurt and Banana

Snack: sweet peppers

Lunch: Turkey burgers (no bread and the cheese I used was the veggie slice provolone) black beans and sweet potato

Snack: apple

Dinner: unsure yet but i will be hitting boot camp up tonight so i may just get a meal replacement shake instead.

I think what disappointed me the most after "binge" eating was that all that working out I did..I gained a pound back from getting off track

so in the words of the great jay-z "I"M FOCUSED MAAAAAAAAAAN"

Oh and as for the competition with my friend "tee" and I she gained 2 lbs..I haven't spoke to her in a few days and she is really competitive, so she may have been working out for 48 hours straight just to beat me. Not to sure yet.

That's all for now *smooches*

Day 6 Busy Busy Busy

Well officially I started this diet thing over on Monday, today is Saturday I weighed in and lost 3 lbs.

ONLY 3 lbs??? ALL THIS WORK IN 5 DAYS I SHOULD LOOK LIKE BEYONCE!!! RIGHT???

WRONG and as "Healthy" as I thought I was being I was over doing a few things.

I ate fruit A LOT during the day..even though its natural sugar..its still just that sugar....so I have to cut down to 2 serving of fruit per day.

I-pump went good last night but I relized..what little bit of "core" I built up is gone *SMH*

I ended up going out with Tee last night on the town...went to a friends bday party (at a strip club, which was my first time going) and then hit a charity event up...and then a bar for one drink..the WORST apple martini EVER..I want my $8 back.

Today is my BESTEST friend in the world Stephanies Bday.

So I started my morning with a 7:30 am boot camp class now I am at work...drinking a protein shake for breakfast (made at bootcamp)

Lunch: not sure..guess since Im at work a salad from wherever they go

I am meeting some friends from Middle School (shout out to facebook for reconnecting us) after work

Then off to home to get dressed to kick it for Stephs bday...and a few other parties...what a busy day.

Later lovies!

Day 5 I'm alive!

Good Morning!

Well yesterday since one of the supervisors at work said I moved like Eeyore I decided to give my muscles a rest and did not work out. I had parent teacher conf. and I must say I am doing my job with Kyle AND Anthony  both  with straight A's and one B. I'm so proud of them!

I'm sitting here crunching on a green pepper trying to think of what to write.

Oh for lunch yesterday I went to Chipotle and got a salad...no rice...it was lettuce black beans fajita mix corn salsa and chicken and cheese. BOY OH BOY it was not the same without the rice.

The kids left last night to embark on a weekend of fun with their Aunt in Columbus, so I have SO much time on my hands I don't know what to do.

I will be doing the 6-7 ipump class at the gym (basically a weight training class) then may hang with Tee at a few parties tonight. I drank 127 oz of water yesterday and boy was my bladder put to work. But I am noticing that the once "puffiness" I had around my ankles is now gone. WHOOT WHOOT...

I went out to dinner with my friend Suzanne and Tee. Normally I would indulge in appetizer, full course meal, and dessert. But not last night.I had a Cesar's salad (minus the bread crumbs) Grilled Chicken Breast with onions and mushrooms and green bean. I am trying to stay away from red meat and pork.

Today i decided to come in to work a little early so the meal plan is

Breakfast:

Kashi Triple Berry Cereal
Apple

Snack:
Banana
Green Pepper

Lunch:
The salad I brought yesterday to make that I didn't make yesterday
Yam

Snack:

Celery

Dinner:

No to sure yet.........


Already drank 64 ozs of water as of 10:46 am...how much water have you had???

Day 4 Anyone have any advil, muscle relaxers, or a shot of corn liquer?

WHOOOOO weeeee

For the first time in my life I can say I did TO MUCH yesterday. I was already sore for the 1st day of boot camp, but I didn't realize HOW sore I was until I went to complete yesterdays work out. I couldn't even do half the drills. I looked like the fat girl in gym class that nobody wanted to pick to play on their team. It was horrible. And I think there was a chick there that was video tapping me. SMH

So today I am not going to attend ANYTHING but work, and breathing. Its so bad I have to grab on to things just to sit down. I dont' even want to go to the bathroom at work because its SO far away from my desk...depends anyone?????

Well since I am a little exhausted today I didn't get to Chef it up in the kitchen this morning.

Today's Meals:

Turkey and ex whites (hard boiled)
Yogurt

Snack:
Carrots and Celery

Lunch:
I brought a salad to make..but I am NOT feeling it today..so I may go out to chipoltle or something and get a rice less chicken bowl

Snack:
Banana

Dinner:
Chicken breast stuffed with spinach and feta cheese and Brussels sprouts on the side with a yam (don't judge me I really do like those little green cabbages)

Snack
Some kind of Fruit

Well till tomorrow people...Hollywood OUT! :)

Day *ouch* 3 *ouch*

Gooooood Morning,

Well last night I finally took my butt back to the first camp of boot camp.

All I can say is Shenita I did NOT miss you. She was a newer trainer when I used to attend in the beginning of the year. Now she is a MACHINE! It was nice to see new faces and old faces. I ran into a long time friend of mine. I knew she attended and probably should have called her that day to let her know I was going, but I didn't want to end up changing my mind at the last minute and not going.

As motivation "Tee" and I having been sending pics of the "healthy" meals we are eating! I will try to post them on here as well.

Anywhoo...I did well with the diet plan until.......................

My monthly sales meeting and they brought dunkin doughnuts. Yes I ended up indulging in just ONE instead of two, with a bottle of water instead of a cup of sugary coffee.

but get this, I drank over 130 ozs of water yesterday...good for the body..bad for the fact I had to PEE every freakin HOUR while trying to sleep.

On to today:

Breakfast I had a bowl of cereal and egg whites.

Snack: a banana

I am trying to keep my potassium intake up because my doc just put me on a low dosage of blood pressure pills so if I don't drink I get really BAD Charley horses, and become very dizzy. We have a history of bad blood pressure in my family so I am trying to avoid that. I always thought of myself as a "healthy fat girl" but as I get older seems that's not the case.

For lunch I brought stuff to make a chicken salad again.

For Snack Yogurt

Dinner: Turkey peppers onions and mushrooms...kinda made it up last night to eat tonight.

This weekend is my best friends birthday (still trying to figure out what she wants to do) and I am meeting up with some friends from Middle School for dinner (yay facebook for the reconnect) Also, I belong to a Motorcycle Club (Lady Trend Setters MC) and a few of my members are having a birthday party this weekend.

WHHHHEEEEWWWW

Well I plan on hitting the gym at 6:30 for the boot camp class and if I have enough energy staying for Zumba...we will see

Day 2: Give me strength...already??

Well I was told old habits are always "hard to break", and there are a few of my old habits I wish I could.

I followed my meal plan yesterday but was tested when it came gym time.

I kept pushing it off..and pushing it off until I fell asleep at 7:30pm and woke up this morning at 5:00am (thanks to my most reliable alarm clock...my bladder)

So I got up, woke the boys up had them get ready:

Decided breakfast was going to be Kashi Cereal and a bananna

I made the boys eggs, hashbrowns, and turkey sausage. They didn't have school today so I packed it up to take with them to their fathers house. (of course they forgot it so looks like we know whats for dinner).

For lunch I made myself a chicken salad (cooked the chicken in EVOO) and Ms. Dash.
It will have
Salad mix
Radishes
Green Peppers
Carrots
Cucumbers
Hard boiled Eggs

I didn't get to my goal of 100oz of water yesterday. I came in shy at 87 oz. so today I am going to try for one hundered.

I'm probably going to do a bunless veggie burger with broc on the side for din din.

BUT TODAY I AM WOKRING OUT and going to try to push myself to do two classes in a row for "punishment" not attending yesterday.

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

The Journey of a Plus Size Biker Babe: Day 1...Here we GO

The Journey of a Plus Size Biker Babe: Day 1...Here we GO: Well today marks the first day of the rest of my life. Boy how many times have you heard yourself say that line before?? Well a little a...

Day 1...Here we GO

Well today marks the first day of the rest of my life.

Boy how many times have you heard yourself say that line before??

Well a little about me, I am a single mother of 2 beautiful boys (7 years old and 9 years old), so I am a full time mother, and full time worker as well. Oh the biker babe part comes from me riding motorcycles!

Basically my reasoning to start this is to hopefully help people in the same boat as me become motivated, and heck..maybe help motivate me as well.

I am 31 years old and weighing in at 288 lbs. 5'8".  According to the scales I am 51% body fat. My goal by March 2012 is to be down to at least 220 lbs. Thats my "first goal"

In the beggining of the year  I started with a local bootcamp (with a friend of course *waves to Tee*)  from Feb. until May losing around 42 lbs. Well folks I gained about half of that back. I wish I would have kept it as a life style change.

So I decided to go back. the fitness camp. I paid for 2 month, unlimitied workouts. Lets see how this goes.

Tee and I are actually doing a personal challege right now. She is going to diet and work out the next 30 days on her own, and if she loses more weight then I do (which she normally does lol) She will continue doing it her way, if not she will rejoin the bootcamp with me.

On todays menu:

Breakfast:
Kashi Cereal
Yogurt
Bananna

Water

1st Snack:
Carrots and Celery plain almonds

Water

Lunch:
My "fake" fried rice creation (inspired by my friend Michelle)
Brown rice
peas
shrimp
scallops
fried egg
mushrooms
cooked in Smart Balanced Butter and Mrs. Dash table blend
and a side salad

Water

Snack:
Kiwi and pomagranites

Water

Dinner:
Left over rice creation
side salad

Water

(lots of water at least 100 oz)

I also take a womans one a day multi-vitamin in the morning and 2 capsules of flaxseed oil with every meal

Well its's 10:20 am EST here in Ohio so this is the PLAN so far.

I am working until 5:15PM so tonight bootcamp class is at 7:00PM thank goodness its around the corner from my house!
