Well it's been the same ol same ol....eating healthy and working out like a phene,it's basketball season,well the playoffs and my LAKERS are in wooohooooo,I am going to INDY this coming monday for a week I miss my family so much and there have been 3 new additions to our family my brother ERIC just had baby LUCAS ,my other brother JEFF had CHRISTIAN,and my sister NICOLE had baby CARTER so needless to say i will have my hands full and i can't forget my EMMA.
Also I am so excited cause in less than 1 month I will be going back down to GEORGIA to visit my BFF KAREN I cant believe it has been a yr.since i was down there it was such a blast,and I promised her we would not eat tofu all week hahahaahahahaha,she is sooooooooo funny.
I already have most of my clothes picked out for my trip,I like to plan ahead cause I always change my mind on clothes,so for the most part i am pretty much ready cause the weather there will be nicer than here so it will be shorts and tank tops and maybe a pair of jeans we will see...well I think that's it for me,my 2 trips for the summer so stoked and excited I can't stand it....
Finally At Last
Finally at last I think I finally found what works for me,after trying out things that other people have done because they had success at it,and i figured if it worked for them it would for me right?well most of the time no.I just think my body takes awhile to get used to certain things especially food,since i have given up alot of stuff that i used to eat (wheat,gluten,dairy,to name a few)that i thought was healthy,and for most they were ,but for me they seemed to slow me down more,it seemed to be that if it was processed my body couldn't metabolize it,so it sored it.
I do have some thoughts that i would like to have pizza,or some cake and ice cream,but I am afraid since my body is responding so well of how i am eating,I don't want to throw my body for a loop and eat some of that stuff,cause i know how long it will take me to get back on track,well not track just my body to adjust to not having processed things.Maybe after a hard workout this weekend i can treat to a couple pieces of pizza,that way the refined carbs will start the recovery process,so my body will burn it not store it.
So I am gonna still do the 2x a day workouts for another week or so,to still shock my body,then see if I still lose on a weekly basis and if I don't then i will go back to the 2x a day til i reach my goal,then i know what it takes to maintain,cause after all until recently I stayed the same weight all of 2007.
I can't believe how my body is responding,and I am so glad,I guess it is true you have to try new things until you find what works for you,it is upsetting cause 2007 I tried everything under the sun,because I wasen't losing,and i figured there's something I am missing,even though I am eating healthy and working out,somethings just not adding up,so that's when I decided I have to change the way I am eating,so i did and look at me now WOOOHOOO.
I hear people say when they lost weight they got their life back, and I understand that cause when your overweight you hate yourself,and can't do things everyone else does,and for me I never wanted to leave the house,and i wore p.j. pants out everywhere cause I didn't like the way I looked and felt in clothes,etc....I think for me losing weight has left me wanting to live my life....
HAVE A GOOD WEEK WORLD

NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS.....I GUESS
Well I haven't blogged in awhile,because there really isn't to much to say.....my life is so boring I do the same thing day in and day out,so let's think about what's new this week,I increased my cardio to 2x a day to maybe get another jump start from a few weeks ago when i lost 4lbs in a week,cause 2 weeks went by and no loss,but i did realize when i looked at the numbers my body fat % went down 3% in last weeks weigh in,so that's a plus.
Which means i lost body fat gained muscle,muscle weighs more than fat,and since i lost body fat the muscle took up that extra room which is why the scale hasen't moved in 2 weeks,but my clothes fit alittle different,my body moves so slow,and plateaus so easily that i have to constantly change things up and sometimes i run out of things to do,I remember my friend Karen would say i ate all day and didn't gain a pound or just gained one from all day and i wondered omg how is that possible,when i eat i gain 3lbs from food but by morning it all equals out....but now i realize how that's possible,it's weight training and reving up your metabolism,because i have noticed since i increased my weight training and adding running to my routine,it's like my metabolism is in high gear,when i check my weight through out the day,even w/ all the water i drink,my weight is only up a pound by the end of the day,and when i wake up the next day I have a loss.
Karen has helped me so much in my journey helped me get through alot of my plateaus,i owe her so much,I tell her all the time she was meant to come into my life for some reason,and i am so glad we have met and become such good friends,I just wish we lived alot closer.
I am so excited to get to go back down to visit her in May,and hopefully sometime she can come up here to visit me in my world.
Well i think I have babbled enough for tonight,if and when something else new comes up or happens i will blog about it,well there is.....i have a new man crush.....i will add a pic such eye candy i can stare all day in awwwww.....hope you enjoy the pic,hehehehehehe
