Boy what a day… I didn’t eat as good as I- Well it could have been a disaster day for the diet but I did a ten minute meditation on my break and recovered! My legs were hurting from the workout on Saturday morning. Oh good grief.     I am switching my diet around a bit since my calorie count revealed a maintaining level of calories, snacking,etc. It was bothering me why I haven’t lost any inches or anything. All that emotional eating and everything from the past year, my first year of marriage, kinda stalled things a bit. What a learning experience. Well I don’t want to maintain thirty extra pounds!     I’m happy I was able to turn things around today. I’m off to sleep. Tomorrow is my day off and I have a full day of activities, household and physical fitness and spending quality time with my husband :love:

I know that green smoothies are definately KEY to a clear complexion for me. I don’t really want to go into detail but I had some learning experiences this past week.

Today I went back to the gym and had a great workout. I also got to sit in the sauna a little bit. Tomorrow is the detangling and blowout/trim project of my hair. Today was the first day I stepped into the gym feeling like a winner, a pro, a real female bodybuilder and fitness fanatic. I think I realise that my health is 100% in my hands and my responsibility. No more doing enough to get by and maintain for me.

Much to my pleasant surprise, the gym is going 24 hour schedule at the end of the month. How awesome is THAT?!

I’ll talk about my protein shake tomorrow and my supplements. I got some good ones that are making my nails grow like crazy. Even my grossed out car accident thumb is looking good.

I worked out early this morning at the gym. I spent way more quality time with my husband. Anyway, I worked chest, triceps and shoulders this morning and did fifteen minutes on the bike.

I am posting my post workout protein shake:
2 scoops of rice protein
1 tablespoon of flaxseed ground
1 tablespoon of maca powder
cup of aloe juice
2 tablespoons of ground up oats
2 tablespoons of powdered goat milk

- I drink this after my workout and my muscles say THANK GOD. I also don’t eat for four or five hours too. I don’t use milk. I just use water. I am taking another’s poster’s advice seriously about adding the protein and also morning workouts.

I am taking green tea extracts, saw palmetto and the like to treat my fibroid challenge. I’ll see what happens in three weeks!
