Randomness and more loss

Ok so a little update: I have lost a total of 7.8lbs I just need to loose 2oz more and its 8! haha Im now 32in on my waist.....woohoo! Ive been trying my best to eat healthy and avoid junk but I was on my YKW last week so if I wanted sweets I would have one..........and thats all..its not easy though. I do wkout 5 times a week but today I took the pups for a walk.

Lately I have been noticing things..... why do ppl just stand in front of a vending machine and look at it like the choice will be made for them.......one day I was in our lunchroom and theres a vending machine in there...I was getting water...and someone walked in and put money into the machine and just stared at it.... I just stood there and wondered if they were going to choose or just stand there....first of all this person is a nurse... so maybe shed choose something healthy??? NO! she choose cookies.... and it made me wonder....why do ppl in healthcare decide to eat and smoke or even have unhealthy lifestyles? Being educated in health should mean youd choose better right? When I was in school to become an MA I would see instructors smoking outside.... I was only 19, just had Akira and didnt know much about eating or being healthy.....but I did wonder why they would choose to smoke knowing it causes cancer....and why they would eat foods that can cause weight gain and health problems.... No Im not perfect I did at one point smoke but I stopped... I do sometimes eat unhealthy foods but not everyday and I do try to make sure I move around to prevent major health problems. I am more educated about health....Im even wanting to study nutrition....I want to know more....Im just amazed that ppl who are more educted than me still choose foods that arent the best for them. Ppl normally say oh its for energy.....but they should know to choose foods that arent full of sugar....I dont always choose correct foods for me either...but I do fill up on foods that arent full of saturated fats....I eat what I would want my kids to eat....they eat foods that are healthy for them..... not always but about 92% of the time they do.

Ok thats the randomness.............I might not make alot of sense but its just something I was wondering about =)

thanks for listening! ha

Dealing with temptaions

Ok so last week I wrote down some personal goals and I wanted to give an update and how it went:

Last weeks goals:
I will snack before heading to anyones home
I will NOT have sweets unless it's just 1 and only on a weekend.
I will eat more healthy foods so I'm less tempted

How I did:
On Friday I went over to my sisters house.... she had pizza for the kids... I didnt have dinner yet so I had a couple of pieces and I wont lie some cookies and coffee =FAIL

A friend brought over some pan dulce.... I only had 1/4 of a concha... sooo partial FAIL

I have started having healthier snacks.... I started snacking on peanut butter and apples or whole wheat toast...I also eat a protein bar my kids eat the zbar its about 130cal....yes its for my grls BUT its sooo good and less calories than the adult ones! lol
ACHIEVED

Ok no Im not happy that I failed some of my goals.... BUT I will be honest that I AM happy that I havent bought ANY fastfood on the weekends ONLY on Fridays.... I decided to cook more at home...6days a week that has been achieved... if they want burgers....I will make them... its healthier and cheaper.. Im also only cooking chicken at home no red meat just once a week if that. I do make sure my kids have NO temptations at home last week I didnt buy any junk food.... I was wanting chips and salsa for a while sooo I had some corn tortillas at home so I cut them and put them in the broiler.... I had 2tbsp of salsa from Fresh and Easy...

NEW GOALS:

Keep cooking at home 6days a week
Make healthy choices when faced with tempations (half or less)
Contunie to wkout 5days a week burning atleast 400cal


I dont want to make outrageous goals....I dont have the time I need to wkout heavily, I do have a hard time avoiding certain foods just because my job is always having potlucks or birthdays.... I do my best when theses moments come....

Thanks for cking up on me

Lost some

So a quick update: I've lost 5.4lbs 1in on my waist 1/2in on my hips:) yea I'm a happy person!
My weight is 144.6 my weight on my first prenatal appt was 145 so I'm now below my first appt weight that was one goal I had and it's accomplished! My next goal is to be below 140 which will take time but I know it will get done! I really wish I wouldve done the calorie count after baby was born I prob would b at my goal (125) my cousin dis mention it to me but I was on weight watchers, it didn't work at all! So this is why I'm now doing the calorie count but I won't beat myself up I'm doing it now with success and I'm going to kee it up!! A few of my favorite foods so far:

am shake: 1banana 1/2cp fresh strawberries and 1/2 skim milk
snack: whole wheat toast with 1tbs of natural pb
and apple:)

lunch is whatever I make for dinner .... Another personal goal is to cook at home 6days a week, so far so good!
I do push myself to wkout it's not easy for me with sick kids and less sleep but I have to remember why I'm doing this OH and it helps that hubby noticed I'm in some of my prebaby jeans!:D

Txs for cking up on me!!!

Good and bad

Well so far as of last week I've lost 4.6lbs!! Woohoo it's been hard I won't lie. I'm embarrssed about my weight when ppl ask or say "ur not chubby you look great yr what 125/130" I WISH! I nicely say "noooo I'm actually 145" I get shocked looks more than half of the time, maybe I hide it well. But I don't feel like I look the weight they say, I struggle like anyone does to eat healthy. I do count calories and it's helped alot! I make it a goal to burn no less than 400cal a day and wkout 5days a week if I can squeeze day 6 then even better. I will occassionally try on prebaby jeans some fit (snug) some refuse to even be close to closing:/ my issues seem to be not just the tummy but my hips, I know with time that will go down.

Bad; I've had no no's, like a cupcake.... That and nachos. I was doing great then my sister called me to come over.... I went..., she had nachos!:/ I had some with salsa on top.... And then more and then again! Ahhhh!

New goals: I will snack before heading to anyones home
I will NOT have sweets unless it's just 1 and only on a weekend.
I will eat more healthy foods so I'm less tempted.

These seem to be what I need to work on more lately. As for wking out I think 5days is good it is during my breaks at work. Once baby is older I'll add weekend runs but I'm happy that I do get time to do it during the week. I do add strength, weights and lunges... I will reach my goals!!!!:D as for weightloss I don't want to loose to fast.... So 1-2lbs a week I'm ok with, for now lol

Txs for cking on me!!

Catching up

So it's been busy. About a week ago we went to disney and met up with family. It was nice to be able to finally hang out with our girls our cousins and their kids it was the first time angel was wide awake for it:) the Grls had alot of fun we did alot of walking and yes eating but I tried to limit the bad foods as much as I could.

Last week I started conting calories. So far I've lost 1.4lbs! It's not alot but I feel good inking the scale is finally moving DOWN! Lol . On Saturday me and the kids (hubby worked late so he was home) walked for the march of dimes it was 3.5mil we parked further away so we walked more or less about 5mil the baby did great! His first walk for a cause! Got home and crashed! I was exhausted! My plans are to wkout 4-5times a week and keep count of my calories:) I don't have a time frame.... I'd love to loose 25 it's more than my original goa but if I do it slowly it cam be done, I want to be where I was BEFORE kids.


Thanks for cking on us!
