Long run, long day

I'm too tired to put actual thought.  Sorry.  I think about good things during the day and forget when it's time for bed.   So why am I tired?  Got up at 4:50 AM and put in 12.5 miles on the concrete.

This is me at 8 miles drinking my Slim and Active. 

Here's my total run!  Yikes!  I had half a bag of Sports Beans during my run. And lots of water. 

When I got home I had my Metaburn.  Then had breakfast- I forgot a picture.  I had 2 over-easy eggs, 2 pieces of skinny wheat bread with butter, and a spoonful of raspberry jelly.   I took my x-factor and Ease with it.  I had BioCleanse between meals and water, water, water. 

Lunch was a huge bowl of steamed veggies with cheese....

And a chicken-less patty (from Aldi- vegan chicken type patty)

For snack I had about 2-3 bags of fruit snacks.  I was hungry. And as the day went on I got hungrier and hungrier.  

More snacks- pretzels.  And I had like 3 individual starbursts.  Hungry.  Water. Water. Water.  BioCleanse again. 

Still starving and was wanting chocolate- so I shook up a chocolate Lean!  Finally able to satisfy my hunger for awhile (probably because of the protein!  Thanks Plexus!

Dinner I took Balance for- Meatloaf, Veggies and some noodles (there was chicken flavored and alfredo).  Now my belly was really full and I'm ready for bed.  

Of course I didn't go to bed right away....because I was chilling with my parents.  Going to have my Probio5, Mega-x and Ease (with maybe some extra for my hips!).  I know I'll sleep like a brick tonight.  

I'll try to write more about how my moods are doing and my journey on that a little better- but I haven't cried in the shower for over a week, so that's something.  

Blessings in Health and Happiness-

I'm almost to vacation!

Today is Tuesday.  My last work day until I go to the beach for some well overdue R&R for myself and the whole family.  I can't wait!!!!

This morning I woke up, drank my pink Drink, took my Metaburn and went for a run!

Then I came home and made myself breakfast and finished packing my lunch!!

Ate it with my X-factor and my Ease.  Then water water water.

Biocleanse between breakfast and lunch.  Was too busy for a snack.

Had a great lunch with my layered salad and pineapple.

The eggs are pictured with lunch- but I had them mid-afternoon for a snack.  I had BioCleanse mid afternoon and an extra Slim because I can.  Water, water, water.  

I've finished off over 12 16 oz bottles of water before dinner.

Did my Balance on my way home so I could block some carbs for dinner.  Had 2 soft tacos like the picture- obviously I was hungry since I didn't get a picture of it!

And now I'm ready for bed.  I'm guessing tomorrow I'll want to eat ALL of the THINGS since I'll be running 12.5 miles.  So time for Probio5, Ease, and Mega-x and bed!

Blessings in Health and Happiness!

Good Monday

Today was a good day.  No exercise.....I didn't get out of bed.  Whoops.  Didn't hit my 5 to Thrive today. 

Then I listened to a Rachel Hollis podcast- and you know what the moral of the story is?  There's always tomorrow.  Don't ruin today for one little thing, and pick it back up tomorrow.

This week's theme is habits and what it comes down to is if your habits lead to excellence, you'll be excellent.  If your habits are weakness, you'll be weak.  We are only as good as our habits and we need to work on making the best habits for the best us. 

Eating today has been pretty darn good if I say so myself.... 
Had my pink Drink and Metaburn, then had my 2 scrambled eggs and a banana with my X-factor and Ease.

Water, water, water.  Midmorning BioCleanse.

Then lunch was a layered salad! 

Water, water, water. Biocleanse in the afternoon.  Then I had some Active to keep me pepped up through the afternoon.

Mid afternoon I had a snack of pineapple and protein bar too.  

Dinner was church carry-in.  I took my balance and had some Caesar salad and lasagna.  

Finished by sharing some Tiramisu with Ella. Ate maybe half?

So all in all I think a pretty balanced day!  Felt great!!

Let's see what Tuesday brings!  I'm going to pack my lunch now before bed and take my Probio5, Mega-x, and Ease!

Blessings in health and happiness!

First week of the rest of my life..

Eeeeeekkkk....  So first I'm going to post my Pink Drink and Metaburn on the back porch this morning- because usually my first picture is the preview picture...

Okay.  Now.  
I hate this so I'm ripping off the tape first. (Don't mind the face- the grumpy child took the pictures)

1 week down.  Down 3 pounds.  1/2 inch off bust, 1/2 inch of stomach, 1/2 inch off hips.

Okay.  That's done. Happy Sunday! I ate pretty healthy today. 

 My breakfast today was 2 scrambled eggs and some pineapple since I went to the store!  Had my Ease and X-factor also.

 Mid morning I had my BioCleanse and an apple!  Lots of water all day long too!

 Lunch was my favorite Publix Salad! Southern Cobb.  Not the healthiest with a Publix chicken tender on it...but oh so good!  Water, water, water.

 I ran out of water and had to buy more- so I decided to make my Smart Water Smarter by mixing Slim and Active in it.  Also had a protein bar for a snack awhile after my BioCleanse.

 I took some Balance before dinner planning on one thing for dinner....and it got dropped on the floor.   So steamed veggies with some cheese on it (1 had two full bowls of this) for dinner.  More water.

Did something resembling exercise with my daughter although she threw a fit and didn't go near as long as I did.  

Took my pictures, showered, more water, Probio5, Ease and Mega-x, and now I'm ready to read until bed.  

Let's keep this train rolling...

Blessings in Health and Happiness

Blah

Blah was today.  Like the day was okay, but it was still blah.

First was running.  Which I really didn't want to do.  And wouldn't have done the full 4 miles if I didn't have my running buddy forcing me to go. 

Then I came home, showered and took a nap.  When I woke, I had my pink drink and Metaburn and had to run an errand before going to work.  I was going to have breakfast at home- but there was no eggs.  So I grabbed a banana and got a sandwich from Chick-fil-A before heading to work and Balanced it out.

I had some fresh fruit for a snack, BioCleanse between meals, a chocolate Lean for lunch and lots of water all day.  

On the way home, I stopped at Publix and got my flu shot (and free $10 gift card) and got burgers (it's not often we have beef!)

So dinner was burgers and onion rings.  I took some Block since already did Balance once!

I got my daughter ready for her dance, then had a snack I probably shouldn't have had....

Then more water, and ready for bed.  

Tomorrow is a new day- I want to do better with veggies and since I stocked up on salad stuff I should be good to go!

Blessings in Health and Happiness!

Just eat the dumb salad....

One of my best days yet!

I started with a early morning run...

 Then I tackled my morning gratitude and goals with my Pink Drink and some Metaburn

I hit the road- I really need to pack the day before because I was rushing out the door!  I had lots of water on the road and grabbed my Ease and X-factor then had my breakfast of a Banana, Active and clean protein bar when I got to work.

Lots of water and some BioCleanse midmorning, then lunch came and I had my salad loaded with veggies and eggs for protein.  

A friend from work gave me a slice of cocoa bread....so I Balanced it...

Lots of water, another couple BioCleanse, and mid afternoon I wanted another Slim.  I had some downtime, so after cleaning, stocking and organizing, I listened to my girl Rachel Hollis' morning show and goal setting!  Ahhh!!  So good.  

One thing I love about Rachel is she says it straight.  You have problems? Yup. So does everyone else.  Just do what you're supposed to freaking do!  Don't want to have a salad, but want to lose weight?  Just do it. Just eat the dumb salad.  You won't have the life you want if you aren't willing to give up the life you have and that includes foods that aren't good for you!

Not that some excuses aren't valid, but they are still excuses- you can either work through them, or live in it.  You make that choice daily.

My light dinner on the way home is an apple and turkey sticks.  

And I "accidentally" finished the last of the cheesecake when I got home.  Whoops.

I took some block- so I'm considering it good.  

So not a perfect eating day, but if you would have seen what I ate a week ago- I mean last Thursday I had 2 bowls of cereal, 2 packages of noodles, freezer pizza, 3 margaritas, and another bowl of cereal.  I think this is better. 

Tonight is more water (I've had over 14 16oz bottles so far), Probio5, Ease, and Mega-x.

On to the first weekend and success!  Pictures repeated Sunday!  I can't wait!

Blessings in Health and Happiness.

Just a day. But overall good...until Ella.

Today was a pretty good day.  First day back at work with Last 90 Days. So I started my day with my Slim plus an Active and my Metaburn.  Full disclosure- I didn't get up a full hour earlier like I should have for the last 90 day challenge- but I was some comfy under my weighted blanket and then gave that some gratitude.

 I made sure to pack myself some healthy food to keep myself accountable and not succumb to all the junk at the store available with just a swipe of a debit card.  Here's my bag all packed- 10 bottles of water, a Lean shake, banana, clean protein bar, snack crackers, cottage cheese, and pineapple!  Yum!

So my breakfast was the banana and protein bar.  

Lunch was the pineapple and cottage cheese.  

Late afternoon snack I had the crackers and decided to take my Balance with it.

I also had a Slim/Active in the late afternoon to help me keep awake and alert this whole day so I can rest well tonight.  I had my Lean shake at 6:45 PM on my way home.  

Then I got home- took a power walk while listening to Rachel Hollis set me on fire (if you haven't watched her live streams from October 2nd and 3rd- you HAVE TO!)

Then Ella pulled out cheesecake.....and I had a piece.  

Oh well.  We aren't all perfect all day.  

Tomorrow is Friday!  Have a good night.
