Back in the saddle again

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!

  2. I love reading your blog because it is real. I have weight loss goals for my self too and one day of making a bad decision may happen once in a while but the key is to not have it start you down the wrong path. You have expressed that at times you have not eaten as well as you would have liked but it doesn't seem to change your focus and that is an inspiration to all of us who get the guilty feeling of failure. It is a life commitment and its not a sprint it is a life change. Keep up the good work because I know you help me do the same thing.
