I did it.....

Yesterday after picking up the kids for practice we went to my sisters since it was still early we had about an hour to kill, she was making dinner and I honestly was super hungry, she made some chopped carne asada, refried beans all in a burrito, I agreed to one, I ate it up! it was pretty good its been a while since I have had any red meat lol............the girls ate ok well only Gena Akira didn't want any.....while at the practice my sister took out a baggie of hot cheetos........................of course my son pointed to it and I told her that she shouldn't be eating those she said oh I rarely have these and I did say well you shouldn't give the boys that.....and then suddenly my nephew stopped during his warm-up and asked for some she sternly said to pay attention (he ended up getting a baggie after practice) while we were there she offered me chocolate *AHHHH* I kept saying no thanks but Angel was wanting some ugh, so I said ok, fed him some and I of course had some =( oh well....................

After practice we went home and hubby was home from work, he made sure I went running because he knows how upset I was that the day before I couldn't go due to our son being clingy .......so I went......our dog (Jedi) was so excited he knows that when I'm dressed for our run he's going and he just follows me around waiting lol its cute and annoying. We left and I had my music blasting to Latin workouts............OMG! I wanted to run atleast 30min nonstop....even at the stop lights I jogged in place I use to laugh at people doing that but I wanted to keep my heart rate up.....it makes sense now =)
I went 2.2mil non stop! I only stopped because I ran out of road! lol .................wow 29min 2.2miles I was soo excited but then man I had to go back home! That's the best part of not doing my runs on a treadmill you HAVE to keep going to get home no stopping and say oh well next time I kept jogging and I did want to stop SO BAD but then Id ask myself why? I'm not hurting, I am tired but I can still keep going and if I stop it will be hard to start up again......just see how much further you can go so I did....................I went all the way home I only stopped and started walking with my arms up to slow my heart rate about less than 1min from my place........I felt AWESOME~! I did 4.4miles in 58min!!! That's a goal now for me, to jog it in less and less time.......the half marathon is 13miles and you have 4hours to make it if I keep getting my time lower I can make it!!! I'm soooo happy and omg sore! I got home wanting to fall over and grabbed some skim milk with chocolate and 2 pieces of Ezekiel cinnamon bread! haha....I burned over 1031cal!!! wow!!!

Today I woke up with lower back pain but not ouch pain more of a sore pain...............I do jog with my back straight.......I learned to control my breathing so I don't exhaust myself.....my legs are sore.....but it feels good...............I pray I can keep this up =)

New food....

So last night I gave the girls a choice as to what were having for dinner, I gave them 2 options:

Chicken burritos (chicken breast sauteed with peppers onions and put in a whole wheat tortilla with salsa) and brown rice

Or pasta with chicken of course they chose the pasta! So I went to Fresh and Easy and bought some Brown Rice pasta (never used it before) some Organic Marinara sauce and some bread.............went home and made dinner...I added some thyme, rosemary and basil to the sauce I sauteed the chicken breast in some olive oil seasoned with Mrs Dash cooked the noodles and TADA!
I wanted to make sure they had a good hearty HEALTHY meal......(Yes I know the bread wasn't healthy!) By the time hubby came home dinner was ready, we all sat down and had dinner together (except Gena she didn't eat she wasn't hungry even though I said NO food after 7pm if you don't eat that's it) Oni and Akira LOVED it!
I didn't tell them it was healthy until they were done and Oni went and said it was filling and really good Akira said the same....... I'm happy I can change the foods they love to something I'm ok with serving, I don't always make 100% healthy foods but I do my best to make sure they have something that wont sit in their bodies rotting (sounds good huh??) So little by little I'm changing their eating habits AT HOME......I can't control what they eat outside but as a mom and wife I feel its my duty to make sure they have a good healthy dinner waiting for them......=)

New focus ....

Well I have changed how I look at my health, not in a bad way just realizing that my focus needs to change....YES I want to loose weight who doesn't?! but I also want to tone my body up and look fantastic in certain cloths, so I started doing different wkouts on my lunch break

I switch it every other day and still do 30min cardio (15min each break)......on days I go running I burn more calories ofcourse but days I don't its less....I still TRY to eat as best as I can but I'm not perfect but I do pretty good.

I was going to do a swimsuit photo shoot in May but I seem to have ALOT of obstacles in my way lately and its been hard to do much once Im home and I feel I need more time than what I have now to get myself ready, so it will be a regular shoot but with some CUTE cloths from rockabilly's they have the cutest dresses!!! I'm excited. (This is sortof what I want to wear that day)

I decided to change my hair, I went blondish I keep being told it fits me! haha......I love it its really different! Oni loves it the only person who isn't ok with it is Akira, she's use to my dark hair. I do plan on chopping it off to my shoulders AFTER the shoot........ I have my marathon in June and I want something more low maintenance for that time....It grows quick so I'm not to worried about it.



So I put away the scale and just measured my waist (above belly button: 30in) and my lower tummy (37) those are my focal points I still need to measure my hips..... but for now less cardio more toning....WISH ME LUCK!
