Nightly Ritual

Since watching the TIU girls talk about psyllium husks I have made it a regular routine to drink it. I'm now able to drink it with the new Almond Breeze Almond Milk Coconut Milk blend. It's AMAZING! The best of both worlds.

Go get you some...

Made To Crave (Day 4)

I don't know if you've read Made to Crave but this little bit of it describes me sooo much. I'm a work in progress ;)

I'm in LOVE!

Look what has finally made an appearance at my local HEB. I just had my first glass and all I can say is YUMS ;)

With only 45 calories per cup for the unsweetened version...you can't go wrong!

It's like a tropical fiesta in your mouth. AND my first cup included psyllium husks and again....it was YUMS!

It's time for NO MORE EXCUSES...

The last day of the holidays officially is over for me...my daughter's birthday was last week! Yay! And I mean that in a good way...she's 9 now and I can finally not have all this bad food in my face.

So, I'm getting serious folks. I should be losing weight...not gaining it. This week I will do double workouts 3 times a week along with my regular P90X2 schedule. P90X2 will continue to be done first thing in the morning. Then at lunch I will go to the company gym and do a quick 30 minute workout. I really can not stand the way I look right now.

So wish me luck folks. We all know I need help with my eating!

Oh and I've started a bible study called Made to Crave. If you have done it let me know your thoughts on it.

TTYL..

It's a NEW YEAR!

2012

It's 2012 people and what are your goals for the year?! I used to call it "resolutions" but we all know that we never keep our "resolutions" for the year. It's probably because we never think of it as a real goal, but a want. I know I've never really treated a resolution like a goal. I never sat down with pen and paper and wrote down my steps to achieve my resolution. BUT now I know that to achieve a goal you must break it down into smaller steps...this will help you to achieve whatever your little heart desires.

One of my goals for this year is to weigh 130 lbs and/or get my body fat down to 21%. Currently I weigh 159 lbs. and have a body fat of 33%. I know, I know...not good at all. I have no issues with working out...it comes easy to me because I love the way I feel when I exercise. HOWEVER, I do have a love/hate relationship with food and I guess it wouldn't be so  bad, but the food I desire are the ones that aren't so good for you.

I'm currently reading an awesome book by an awesome lady. It's PUSH: 30 Days to Turbocharged Habits, a Bangin' Body, and the Life You Deserve! by Chalene Johnson. If you haven't bought your own copy, do it NOW! This is a step-by-step "diet" book that shows you how to not only achieve the body you want, but the life you want.

I've started the new Beachbody program, P90X2 today and it was HARD! I'm going to be doing it with my hubby for the next 90 days. With this program I am hoping that I'll be able to bring down my body fat % drastically. BUT with that I do need to getting my eating in check. I'm going to strive for more veggies and lean proteins along with limiting carbs in the late afternoon and dinner time.



Wish me luck folks!

My Country Music Likes...

I haven't always been a huge country music fan, especially in my younger years. I was a Latin Hip-Hop, R&B kind of girl with the occassional Rap thrown in there. Not until my hubby (boyfriend/baby daddy at the time) started making me listen to it. He didn't grow up on country either...he HAD to go through baseball practice listening to it thanks to his coach.

So I started out listening to guys like Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney and George Strait...a little Garth Brooks and Faith Hill. However, I've never really enjoyed female country artists like I did the males. I just don't know why. At least not until now...

I'M A MIRANDA LAMBERT LOVER!

She just has a bad-ass kind of girl attitude! You can't help but love her. We went to her concert back in October and man can she put on a show. My hubby even enjoyed himself. This was the first female artist concert I had ever wanted to go to and I must say I was soooo pleased!

So check out Miranda...you may find that you like her too :)
