Week 11- Day 5

Core Synergistics
Run/Walk- 1 hr


I can see the bones in my knees...HELLO!

I spent my evening downtime trying on some of my old smaller clothes. Some fit...some did not....some fit :). I've already given away a few clothes that are too big now. My first instinct was to keep them, thinking "what if I gain the weight back". While working on my weight loss I'll be working on my thoughts as well.

In other news....

Week 11- Day 4

YogaX- 10 mins
CardioX
Run/Walk- 1hr


I had alot of research to do in preparation for a project that lasted until 3am. I set my alarm to wake up at 6am to go for a run. When the alarm went off I kept hitting the snooze button for 15 minutes until I finally peeled myself out of bed. That's my determination coming back.  I made a promise to myself that I was getting up by any means necessary and heading out the door for my run and that's exactly what I did. It felt great to be out and I gave myself a little pat on the back for sticking to my guns. I admit that's something that I rarely do, but I'm working on it. Now as for the rest of my day...I was in true bitch mode Lol. I have a few people to apologize to tomorrow. My alarm is so friggen loud it awakened Mini Me so she decided to ride her bike while I ran. Never again. I love the company especially since my associate just gave up on exercising, but MM holds me back. She makes me laugh and I end up stopping several times with her because she's out of breath. Not today. There was no way I was allowing her to interrupt my run this morning. My plan was to keep moving the entire time and I warned her before she tagged along. I counted 4 stops that she made en route. 3 because she was tired and 1 to rescue a turtle. Whining for me to take breaks with her the whole time. Geesh, when I was 17 I was full of energy. They don't make'em like they used to.


Breakfast: Oikos caramel Greek yogurt & 1 banana-no pic

Lunch: 2 slices whole wheat Natures Own with PB2 & cinnamon

Dinner: Salad (Marketside herb mix, baby tomatoes, carrots, mushrooms, President fat free feta, cucumbers, broccoli florets, 1 Morningstar Farms chicken patty)

Week 11- Day 3

Back & Biceps, AbRipperX



My best friend wants to go to Miami for her birthday in October. I officially have 60 days to get it right or get left. It's on. Time for me to get back on track with the same determination that I had when I first started this journey. I must confess I have slacked off quite a bit. My exercises are rushed and I know that I can eat better. Since omitting meat from my meals my body just feels much better. I love Morningstar Farms but I'd like to eat more homemade fresh veggie filled meals. I do plan to purchase some cook books very soon but until then I know better choices need to be made. I'm almost done with P90X so I'm going to have to think of my next plan of action.....

Breakfast: Oikos caramel Greek yogurt-no pic

Lunch: Morningstar Farms veggie chicken patty on an Earthgrain thin bun & 2 kiwis

Dinner: Tabatchnick chilli with 1/2 crumbled Morningstar Farms Prime Griller & 1/2 cup Uncle Bens brown rice

Snacks: POM infused Blackberry Dumplings
            1 pk 100 calorie Cocoa Almonds
            1 orange

Week 11- Day 2

Cardio X
Bike Ride


I had alot of work to do in the morning so breakfast was grab and go. Basically I grabbed a banana and an Oikos caramel yogurt on my way out of the door and ate it in the car. Lunch was rushed because I was starving so I grabbed a salad from a local deli spot. I got it just in the nick of time too. As I was paying for my food a family of 4 came in and both adults and kids were coughing and sneezing like crazy! Um eeewwwwwww! Are you serious? I have never been one to go into an eating establishment while I was sick let alone take my children. Could not wrap my mind around that one but we were grossed out. Speaking of being grossed out...a potential "date" told me today that he has a rotten tooth in his mouth along with an abscess on his gums.  Yeah you read that right. Reread it and let it marinate for a moment because that's exactly what I did. I'll wait.



Are you done?


Okay. After multiple stomach flips and shoulder shudders I could not for the life of me fathom why he told me this. I asked "dude are you trying to run me off?" His reply was a heartfelt no followed by numerous text messages and phone calls to try to reassure me but I'm sorry dude.  When people speak to me I visualize their words. I'm afraid that if I ever see him again I will only see a yuck mouth.  Which reminds me of that vintage 70's commercial.



*sigh* anywho...
Breakfast: Oikos caramel Greek yogurt -no pic
Lunch: salad-no pic

Dinner: Quesadilla (veggie sausage scrambles, Weight Watchers mexican cheese, onions, green and red peppers & chipotle salsa)

Mini me made a dessert that my mom taught me how to make when I was 6 and I taught MM at the age of 7. She simplified the ingredients and even added a new one. POM infused Blackberry Dumplings or Cobbler.

     deliciouso topped with 2 small scoops of vanilla frozen yogurt

Snacks: 100 calorie Almonds
             1 plum
             1 kiwi
             1 Go-Gurt

Giveaway!

Back 2 School Giveaway!


School is right around the corner sooner than some may think (myself included)! I think this giveaway is just in time! This super cool gift pack , product information , and additional prize pack to give away were all given to me by Yoplait through MyBlogSpark!

Mini me was so giddy  much like a younger child when the package arrived. I came home at lunchtime and we decided to head to the store to utilize the coupon for the Go-Gurt. School starts next week so she's been preparing for it all week. Since she will be including these in her cool new lunchbag, she chose the flavor Strawberry Splash. As soon as we were back at home we put them in the freezer so that we'd be able to try one later. To give an honest review we'd have to try it right? Right.  It was all of what we expected. Easy to open, handle and cool creamy goodness. Mini me ate 3 of them.

With Go-Gurt yogurt in your child´s lunch box, you can feel confident that there will be no snack trading at lunch time since Go-Gurt has a taste and texture that kids love! Moms can feel good about packing Go-Gurt each morning since each portable tube contains a good source of calcium and vitamin D, providing a wholesome addition to a well-balanced lunch. Available in a variety of cool, fun flavors like Strawberry Splash and Chill-Out Cherry, Go-Gurt will quickly become a refreshing classroom favorite. 

There is no ice pack needed - Go-Gurt (and Simply... Go-Gurt too!) is specially made to freeze and thaw, keeping the yogurt, and the rest of lunch, cool until lunch time. 

 In addition you can visit here to download a printable *coupon for $0.85 off one box of Yoplait Go-Gurt yogurt today! 

*This coupon offer for free Go-Gurt is not valid in some states, including California, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, Nevada, North Dakota and Tennessee. 

To enter this giveaway, please leave a comment sharing your favorite lunchtime tip OR you can mention this giveaway on your blog and leave a comment letting me know that you did so. For 2 entries you can do both.

The contest will end on this coming Thursday 8.05.10 at midnight (eastern) and the winner  will be announced on Friday 8.06.10.
