I have been eating clean for the last few days.. no mess ups at all… the only thing I need to do is not eat such big portions at night..  I need to eat more at breakfast!

Last night I had a great workout.. In two weeks I have knocked off 2 min on my treadmill 2 mile time… when I leave that machine my legs are wobbly and I’m a bit dizzy but damn it feels so good!

Tonight is bootcamp.. I did not sign up for Jay’s bootcamp but the Lafitness by my job has one on wed and it just started last week.. the teacher is good especially since she has not taught it ever!! Everyone left sweaty last week… so I will go because I promised the teacher and I promised myself!!!!

 Have a great week.. eat clean!!

The challenge we created starts today.. there is a forum for anyone that wants to join!! I posted my before pics last night and I am ready to go!! Have a great week everyone!

 Thanks for all of the suggestions guys and you especially Mr.Kleen73 for the wonderful challenge name

Christmas is in about 62 days slightly less than 9 weeks away!!

So let’s think of way to challenge our bodies and minds!

Eat Clean Eat Clean everyday!! In this challenge you can have 2 cheat meals/maybe days and that is all… so basically one cheat day every 30 days.. remember thanksgiving is during this time

Now to the working out part…..

We need to exercise 6 times a week and if you double up one day then that can count too

Weight training is a must…. minimum 3 times a wk and cardio minimum 3 times a week for at least 30 min

Before/After pics.. take a picture this weekend and then a after pic on christmas day?

The plan should start either Sunday Oct 26 or Monday Oct 27…. how does this sound???

The prize is an awesome christmas present to yourself!!!!!!!!!

Rules:

1. Everyone has to commit to post at least twice a week with some type of update to hold each other accountable i.e when we eat bad outside of the 2 cheat meal/day or miss the 6 wkouts for the week. We have to document it in the blog for everyone to see and put us back in check and offer support or alternative ideas.
2. Post 4 full body shots every 3 weeks(this will total 3 pics for the 9 wks) in our progress areas and notify via the blog that it is out there for others to see.

Suggestions are extremely welcome!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Working out with me??

 I really need to convert my friends or replace them..hmmmmmmm

I guess it is either stress or pms but I want chocolate.. I have had 3 miniatures today! UGH!  But on a good note in the past I would of eaten 10 to 15 hahahahaha sad but true.. I need for work to be over so I can get to the gym and get to feeling better.. also it is rainy and ugly outside… I am tempted to sleep…. thank God I packed my clothes in the car!!

I have realized something about myself and I guess I have never noticed this before.. I have alot of overweight friends like I would say 70/30 is the percentage.. me included of course… this is a big challenge because of those 70 I cannot really say anyone wants to change…

A coworker/friend saw me eating my lunch and she tried to justify how eating out is much better for her.. I did not go into the whole I am eating clean etc.. I just said it saves money and is healthier but she did not get it so I ended the discussion by just laughing.. oh well you can’t change the world. Then I went to a social last night I did good I had a 1 mini sandwich, fruit, and cheese small glass of wine but people around me were eating 4 and 5 sandwiches multiple glasses of wine.. i left early! This is why I give thanks to this website over and over and over again.. this is the only place where I can go to anytime and everyone is healthy or getting there.. I have plenty of overweight friends on this site but they are like me.. we are works in progress.. shout out to yall! I wish they where with me everyday! I need to go into hiding maybe become a recluse or just spend the weekends with my mom.. she is a exercise queen and she does not have a body or face of a 51 year old woman!!  Okay thanks for letting me vent… I am just frustrated in life!!!

 Someone please send some positive vibes my way!

No not me … I don’t smoke but I actually heard a woman say this to her friends on the elevator this morning!!! The statement was sad and hopeless.. this woman was so unhealthy, overweight..etc but she chooses to do nothing. Of course when i hear comments like this I reflect on my life… I’ll always be overweight until I quit eating bad things… so you know I am changing this and thanks to the extremely unhealthy woman on the elevator for keeping me motivated.. hopefully she will change too one day!!

Stay blessed and not stressed.. peace!!!
