Keeping motivated

This morning I woke up at 8am and MADE myself get ready for yoga........I didnt have time to eat breakfast so I grabbed a bananna and yes my coffee with sugar free creamer.Yoga was awesome and 90min long once it was over I got home took Gena to school and made myself a real breakfast 2 egg whites 1/4 butter and some shredded tri-tip and 1 piece of toast,once I ate I went to the gym and burned 300 calories and did some abs ok well when I was on the balance ball I adjusted myself and BOOM fell on my a*@!!!! =( it hurt!! noone was there and I got up fast and did some side bends(standing holding 7.5lbs ) and then some squats then home and showered.When Oni got Gena he wanted to take her to eat and play at Chucky Cheese I was good!! I ate 2 servings of salad no dressing (but tons of green some sun flower seeds), cantalope and melon dew (green) and 1 slice of pizza it was small though.I did pick at hubbys coconut cream pie just a few spoons not many and a couple of veggie sticks thats the only slip up I had~! Im proud of myself today lunch didnt happen but it was ok because breakfast was very filling for me I had one more cup of coffee but Im pretty content right now.Im looking forward to sticking to this routine atleast until sunday because Monday Im back to wk and then it gets HARD! =(

I know I didnt over eat yesterday and I know its all bloating it happens every month


I ate this am better I had 2 egg whites 1/4 tsp of butter and 1 toast bread also 1 cup of coffee and 2 tbsp of sugar free creamer.The reason I say 1 cup is because I normally drank more but I cut back also on the creamer so far thats all I had! oh and water but I ate at 10am and its already 12:28 and Im about to get ready to go to the gym and hit the eliptical burn 300 calories and if I have time do some weights.........I plan to go to the store today and get some roamine lettuce and make me a salad for lunch....I have some silvered almonds (protein) and some shredded cheese (calcium) and I plan to add some turkey breast to it or some other type of protein maybe also buy some protein shakes or bars Ill have to see....Dinner is tri-tip steaks and also salad and steamed broccoli Im trying my best its hard but I have great ppl keeping me motivated =) I will update later!!

DIFFICULTY.......

Ok as I write this Im having cravings to go eat just about EVERYTHING I can find in my cabinets =( This morning I woke up at 7:00am had 1cup of coffee 1 tbs of creamer a small (genas small bowl) of cereal with milk and head out to yoga.....Class was great I sweat and had a good wkout it lasted 1hr and then off to the gym for a 300 calorie burn on the eliptical, I got home and started cleaning ((after the shower)) I also did laundry mopped and by 11am my home was clean!! Then Gena woke up (late sleeper) I made her pancakes I cut them small and yup.....I took some bites no syrup though she doesnt like it.A few hrs later I had the munchies...........I grabbed some veggie chips and shared with Gena.....drank about 2-3 bottle waters also just seems that Im more hungry!!!! Sooo 3pm came and I ate 1cup of home made beef stew and I decided to lay down and nap but couldnt!!! 1 more cup of coffee and I decided to write.Im doing my best to not eat alot of bad things and I realized I need to shop for healthy snacks also its about that time for me so the urges are super strong,hubby wants to eat at Marie Calenders so I have to remind myself SALAD SALAD!! Im determined to keep myself on this path its not easy at all!!

So far in 4yrs Ive gone from 180 to 135, its 2lbs more than a while back I know.....but the yoga makes me feel great and I feel slimmer....I think its water weight I ALWAYS gain weight when its that time for me. My goal is to be healthy I dont want to deprive myself but right now I think I need to limit myself just because the holidays are coming...........my fingers are crossed XX
