Actually I won't be riding horses anytime soon, but I am back to being able to hit the gym again this week! Super excited to get back at it. Report from the doctor on Monday was that I have some "junk" floating around in my ankle and that it had been super aggravated and also some tendionitis. Good news after wearing the boot for a few weeks he said things look better and to switch over to a brace and see how it felt. I was real sore for most of the week and so Mike and I just focused on doing some upper body stuff last week. As I sit here tonight I can honestly say that it feels about 80%, so I'm hoping to do a little more at the gym this week!
OHHH and one more thing I was suppossed to update you on....what the heck was it? Oh yeah, I'm getting a haircut this week. Wait that wasn't it. What was I suppossed to update everyone about...my sons basketball team remained undefeated after another big win. NO that wasn't it either...
How bout the fact that my scale told me the magic number this past week! YES...100 pound mark has finally happened! I have been so close a couple of times, but I finally hit it this last week.
UP NEXT...shooting for another 15 pounds to be gone before my trip to VEGAS on March 4th. So that basically means I have 6 weeks to get it done. That is just between 2 and 3 pounds a week. That is realistic goal for me. I have been able to do that weight loss consistently when I am focused on nutrition and the fitness at the same time. Looking forward to the next month and hoping for no other hurdles!
FOOD IDEA...this is something people have requested from me. Things I enjoy that are healthy options for everyone!
I have found a favorite new breakfast that is great for getting in some healthy fat(FAT doesn't make you fat...unhealthy fat does) along with one of my favorite whole foods(eggs)! I make a nice 2 egg omelete with half an avacado mashed up as the filler. I then sprinkle it with a little Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle and you have yourself a wonderful "southwest Omelet"! Cooking time 5 MINUTES... I love it! Some days when I'm not in a hurry I will throw in some onions and peppers, mushrooms, etc. All the veggies that you love. Great solution for getting your day off to healthy filling start!

I'D GIVE MY LEFT LEG, IF I COULD...
Use my left leg! Have my first injury since I started my healthy lifestyle. I had some pain after a workout on Jan 3rd and then worked out again on the 4th and thought things were gonna be OK...However I woke up on the 5th to see my left ankle swollen up to the size of a grapefruit(ironically a nice whole food...just not great for the ankle)! Went to the Dr. got Xrays and a CT scan(can't do MRI's with the defib) and they told me I have done damage to the tendons in the ankle. See an Ortho specialist next Monday the 17th to see exactly what he thinks and where we go from here. Hoping for the best and that I can resume some work outs ASAP! If not Mike and I are gonna put together a plan on the bike and upper body stuff that I will hopefully be able to do while I heal.
The ONE good thing that comes out of an injury is that it has forced me to get back to paying soooooooo much attention to my nutrition. I stunk over the holidays...not like rotten shoe stink...more of a burnt toast stink. It wasn't horrible, but it certainly wasn't what I was hoping for and I bounced up about 6 POUNDS OVER THE HOLIDAYS! Good news is that I'm back on track and I am determined that I HAVE TO HIT THE 100 POUNDS LOST this next week. I am sitting at 99 pounds gone once again. That has been a booger of a goal for me to reach but I'm gonna do it!!!!
Normally I would say I should reach the over 100 pounds lost mark this week. However here is the Mike Nilson advice of the month for ya :)
Everytime we say that we SHOULD do something it means that there is about a 0% chance it will get done! LETS JUST SAY THAT I HAVE TO DO IT! Should=open door for failure HAVE TO=Decision. Decision to do somethng means that you have ruled out all other options. I have decided that I HAVE TO hit my goal of over 100 pounds lost this week!
Wish me luck with the foot and the GOAL! I will let ya know next week!
Also anyone that is working on weight loss and getting healthy in 2011 let me know. Would love to chat with you anytime! We're all in this thing together!
