WEIGH IN SATURDAY

Carrot juice for an inner glow

Good Morning to all and Happy Saturday. I lost the two pounds I gained, and I am very happy about it. I am back at 171 lbs and hopefully it will be downhill from here. I am working hard with my workouts and watching my food and trying to make sure I eat more before I exercise.

My trainer was right, I looked up the calories of the tuna roll I eat daily and it is just 210 calories, so I will mix it up this week. My book drive will take place once I hit my elusive ten pound goal but I am definitely on my way.

I am researching more things to do for my fitness bucket list and more races to take part in. My toe is healing slowly. 

Off for now, I have a delicious soup recipe I will post later tonight.
Love and light to all

BETTER THAN YESTERDAY

Sometimes I get impatient, well a lot of times I am impatient. If you were to ask my husband what is my worst flaw he would tell you I am too impatient. It is no different in regards to fitness and weight loss. I do love the journey as well as the destination, and I am so happy where I am. I do have that little devil sitting on my shoulder telling me I should have come farther by now, and I need to work harder. Yes, I need to work even harder but I should be proud of where I am and where I am going. I am far removed from where I was. I can be my own worst critic, and self bashing is a slippery slope and I will nip this negative banter in the bud. I am in a much better place than I was yesterday, and definitely in comparison to there I was when I began this in July 2013. I will be grateful and not impatient.

So from now on I am just going to focus on my clean eating, my fitness and flexibility. I will be starting my fitness bucket list as well and I am working on my book drive for children which is my next ten pound milestone charity. All of this and work too.

Yesterday my workout with Mike my trainer went smooth. I ate enough and my energy was high. I was timid about running again, I admit I have slacked off on running and I have been walking instead but once I got going it was not so bad. I am grateful to him and he has helped me tremendously, he is good at what he does and I owe him a lot. We are going to video tape me doing my burpees in a week or two. I have improved considerably.

Coffee is my morning elixir on days like these. We are supposed to be getting a rain storm, so I may be spending more time indoors at the gym instead of my outdoor workouts. Mixing it up is always a good thing and California desperately needs rain even though I miss the sun when it happens. I have become a true Californian.

Off for now
Love and Light
Namaste'
