***If you are anything like me you will need pictures to look at while you are at the gym. You can Google the magazine to purchase or go to your library and find a copy! That way it’s easy enough to bring it with you to the gym as a reference guide***

Remember a few rules that we talked about on the last post? Eat all your meals on a salad plate, and no refined sugar.  This week I've double-checked everything that I wanted to consume to verify there is no sugar of any kind. The only thing I used was honey for my breakfast coffee. I had to get rid of my coffee creamer because it had sugar. 

To make things a lot easier I eat the same breakfast in the morning. Plus, when I cook dinner I usually make extra so I can just repeat my meals or change up my meals but with the same protein. Makes it a lot easier especially when dealing with food allergies or any diet that you decided to follow.  Over the years I've learned to adapt to making my life easier when I am making meals I automatically cook extra. 

Take a look at the pictures of the pages from the the magazine FitnessRx FOR WOMEN! February 2010. This is a preview of what we will be doing.


  















The last one we added to this workout is Plank. Set your phone clock to stopwatch, and when you are in position hit start. Its okay if you don't make it long because I sure didn't. It’s a base line and when we continue to do this program you will find yourself increasing the amount of seconds while holding this position. We tried this one 2 times to get a good reading on how long we can hold this position (which was not long ha ha). 




Looking forward to finding our buff bodies! Good luck!

Week 4 Bringing Buff Back

Now she did not have much weight to lose as I do. But she still looks phenomenal! Friday, June 17th  Today is my first day back in the gym from my intestinal inflaming. It felt GREAT! I completed 40 minutes of cardio on an elliptical machine. After completed some additional stretching on one of their machines. I can feel the stretch all the way down my lower back.  My goal in 8 weeks is to restart Jackie Warner's 4 week workout! But first I have to iron out some issues.  Saturday, June 18th       8-)) I woke up extremely tight and sore. I started my day with Back Pain Yoga. The first pose where you put one leg on the other legs thigh, and try and grab your foot to stretch out. Oh Boy! I could barely touch my toes with only one hand LOL!! The second position where we put our feet together and bring them up to you. It felt like glass in my back and hips. The Lord of the Fishes pose, let me just say I can't really get into that position. I had...

Yummy Zucchini Quinoa Bread

There is nothing like zucchini bread! I enjoy sinking my teeth into a slice with a nice hot cup of coffee. Yum Yum! But how does one enjoy zucchini bread when your on a health journey and giving up sugar amongst other things? Well, I did some research on making it from scratch and came up with my very own recipe! I can't wait to try it! The traditional bread has regular milk, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, and wheat flour to name a few. I took out all those ingredients and replaced it with much filling and healthier ingredient choices. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. Matter of fact, I believe everyone should make this recipe and try it. Its good to get outside of your comfort zone and try something new. You may just shock yourself and find out it tastes just the same but more filling. Plus, not to mention we are bringing our buff back right? We will have to make some changes in out nutrition as we go along our journey. This recipe makes appro...

Rough Week

This week was a rough one for sure. You see my father-in-law Greg died this week shorty after our vacation up north. We did not expect him to leave us so sudden. Which led me to a little bit of emotional eating instead of dealing with my pain. When I recognized what I was doing I stopped, and assessed the situation. All I needed to do was to talk about happy memories, and cry a little bit. I feel like I am  a little numb on the inside...I can't let emotional eating steer me away from my goals no matter how painful a death can be. I know one day I will see him again in heaven. Until that day comes I need to focus on a healthier lifestyle, and reaching my weight loss goal. Not to mention I am sure he would be very sad if I did not stay my course.... I know death is hard to deal with when someone so close to you passes on. I can't express how painful it is until you actually have gone through a tragedy like this. Some people quit eating, others over eat, and its easier to no...
