Ahhhh…today…not my day…what is it about Wednesdays?? I was soooo busy at work I didn’t even have time to post my post from yesterday and I did not even get to drink my usual gallons of water and tea…and it was just a bad day. I came home upset and tired, I threw down my bags and fell on the couch. I will spare you the work drama, but let’s just say I am not liking it and praying for change…soon…

Breakfast

What breakfast? I did not consume anything today not until 2pm that is.

Lunch

Lunch

I know, I know…I had a diet coke…this is WAY not like me… aspartame is one of the worst possible thing you can consume, can you say formaldehyde?? I needed a caffeine kick so I caved. Some strawberries, cucumber, chips and the other half of my sandwich from last night.

Workout

What workout…I AM NOT WORKING OUT TODAY. My brain cannot handle it.

Dinner

Veggie Spanish Rice, Organic Pinto and Black Beans and a few slices of Avocado. Yum.

Tea Time. It’s that time of year when cold tea is starting to taste better than the hot. 😦

Goodnight.

Frustrated.

What a Monday! Started off good…I made a beautiful new flower arrangement for my desk and it put me in such a good mood, this is surprising only because ask my coworkers…I HATE Mondays! photo (6)

As the day progressed I was in a pretty terrible mood, I don;t know what was wrong with me I was just pissy and cranky and I could’t wait for the day to be over. I feel like the champagne from the night before was part of my problem so I decided I needed to detox and get that poison out of me ASAP.

It looks like there is glitter in my ‘Every Day Detox’ Tea, but there isn’t don’t worry!

Lunch

Kinda boring, I was not hungry at all!

Afternoon Tea, an attempt to get rid of my splitting headache, and it worked!!

It was finally 4:30pm and I got to go home…not in the mood to workout at all, I decided to have an early dinner so I had a small bowl of Chili and then took a short nap(LAZY!) Then I decided to get my lazy butt up and do my workout…I did. I didn’t feel like it was very effective, my mind just wasn’t in it at all, but I sure was sweating!

JM-Wk 3-Check

Ball Squeeze-Check

I am not looking forward to tonight’s official weigh in…I weighed myself this morning and still no change!? I am frustrated and confused…I am beginning to dread weigh-in’s and Tuesdays. Trying to stay positive and remember what my Dad always tells me…’Muscle weighs more than fat.’ So let’s just hope I am gaining some heavy muscle…

Well I know today was supposed to be a workout day because I took Thursday off, but my ass hurts so I am taking the day off, deal with it! My workout yesterday caused my muscles to be extra sore today so I decided to rest and I am so glad I did, cause I had an amazing day today. I woke up and had a wonderful cup of coffee, caught up on the episodes I missed of Bates Motel, if you aren’t watching this you should be, its awesome! Then I made some breakfast for my husband and myself…

Breakfast

Strawberries, Orange Juice, a Bagel and some Eggs with Salsa, Jalapeno, Bell Pepper and Onion

Then I did some laundry and watched some more TV and relaxed…then I decided I would do some extensive research on flowers, I planted some flower seeds yesterday and I decided I wanted to do some more. Yesterday on one of my errands to my regular Saturday stop at Trader Joe’s I picked up these beauties…

Flowers

They are Gladiolus Flowers and they have now become my favorite thing in the whole world! I love how tall and vibrant they are. I discovered that Lowe’s was having a huge sale of Gladiolus bulbs and decided that I would make my way there later to pick some up…but before I did that I decided to relax a little more…

Sun

Trying to get rid of those workout capris pants tan lines! (Yuck!)

After this I decided to run my errands and then got back home to plant my Plants

Sat Glad

The ones on the left are what I did yesterday and the Glad’s are on the right!

The finished product:

Finished

Can’t wait to see these beautiful flowers grow!

Now time to make dinner…Organic Chili

And of course…

Champ

Champagne is my most favorite drink…if only beer and champagne weren’t my favorite, they ARE the most fattening drinks ever…but I just can’t help it…it’s time for a cleanse I feel like this week was not a good week for me…I ate pretty clean, but I did not drink clean! I say no alcohol at all next week…who’s with me?

Goodnight all…

Well I had big plans to stay up late last night and have a few drinks and watch a movie and none of that was accomplished. The moment I sat on the couch to relax I fell right asleep…I didn’t realize I was so exhausted. Anyways, since I fell asleep early I started my Saturday off very early with a at home workout and then a brisk walk with my baby!

Workout

JM-Biggest Loser Workout-Check

(I was in the mood for a completely different workout today!)

Ball Squeeze-Check

Plank-Check

Side Bends-Check

Brisk Walk-Check (2 miles)

Breakfast looked like this…I know I should eat something but I just didn’t feel like it, plus this was just what I needed to get me through my Saturday errands!

Breakfast

Starbucks Iced Green Tea

Then spoiled myself to a lovely burger from In-N-Out…oh yeah and I had fries too! (of course!)

Lunch

Didn’t have any dinner tonight, since I had a late lunch I wasn’t very hungry. I did have a snack that consisted of a small piece of quiche and some tortilla chips(with some dip, but I am too ashamed to say what it was…let’s just say it was extremely fattening) while I watched a movie. Oh and I had a few beers(also VERY fattening), it was a nice and relaxing night(with a ton of fat included!)

See you Sunday,

MONDAY…LAMEDAY

I have never been one for Mondays and today was just as I expected it to be…just Monday! I should consider changing my attitude and outlook on Mondays, if I did I bet they would actually be tolerable.

Had kinda a weird ‘eating’ day today, no breakfast at all just drank my usual hot lemon water and I did have a cup of coffee…had a piece of quiche for lunch and then this for dinner…

Dinner

Veggie quiche(made by my beautiful mama), pasta salad, made with all organic ingredients and homemade french fries…I made these for my husband to go along with his burgers, but I admit I had a few. Oh and yes I drank a beer, actually two…it’s my weakness.

Workout…

Workout

JM-Wk2-Check (P.S. I hate week 2, it’s so boring)

(That fan is my new workout friend, it is miserable working out is 105 degree weather)

That’s all I did today, between the extremely hot weather(In early May!) my toothache and ear infection I took it easy. Tomorrow will be better…everyone cheats on Mondays right?

Oh and I almost forgot to mention I received an amazing gift from my husbands family who live back east…they are amazing people and always spoil me with Nike gear. I could not be more grateful…a girl can always use a new pair of shoes…especially running shoes!

Nike

I am blessed.

My Morning ‘Cup of Joe’ 

LemonWater 050813

Almost every morning I drink a cup of hot water with lemon, I actually look forward to it…my favorite part is that the lemon acts a natural diuretic, it is wonderful and great way to cleanse the kidneys and any other toxins left in the body (It makes you pee), it also initiates your metabolism and the lemon balances your pH.  Some studies show it aids in weight-loss and keeps your skin pretty and clear too.

The Daily Smoothie

Breakfast 050813

Aww…my morning breakfast smoothie! (Sometimes I have a difficult time getting it all down)

Ingredients: (These often change based on what veggies and fruits are in my fridge)

-A little dash of 100% Cranberry Juice(not from concentrate and no sugar at all)

-Pineapple Juice

-Kale(a whole lot of it)

-Spinach

-Berry Medley (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries)

-1 teaspoon on Flax Seed Oil

-And lastly water

It’s a little tough to get that Kale down since it doesn’t blend well, but it is a perfect ‘breakfast’ meal to tide me over until lunch.

Lunchtime

Lunch 050813

 

Leftover artichoke, a few pita chips and veggie spaghetti (made by my wonderful husband Monday night!)

Afternoon/Before Run Snack

AfternoonSnack 050813
