OMG!!! I gained 10 Lbs, and Its coming off. Here’s how! – Day 1

Yes, it’s true. I gained 10 Lbs! I stepped on the scale this morning and just about had a heart attack.
Being sick, overworked, overbooked, over exhausted makes working out an eating right really low on the “to do” list. Old habits became the norm because I just didn’t have time, or I was just too run down.

Well, my cold is gone, I’m somewhat caught up with my life and what do I have to show for it???
10 lbs on my thighs and tush! Not for long. I must say part of my success shall be my determination to squeeze back into my favorite jeans ( from forever 21, hehe) ..

I have decided to blog my weight loss journey for you to follow, and for me  to stick to.
If you would like to follow along with what I am doing be my guest and read what I am eating and what I am doing to GET THIS OFF!!!!

I started today after I stepped off the scale this morning. Here was my day.

Breakfast:  a bowl of shredded spoonfuls multi grain cereal, (BARBARA’s Bakery makes it. YUMMY. 2 tsps of flaxseed, tastes nutty. and 3/4 cup of low fat organic milk, coffee, ( 2 cups)

Snack: a handful of raw almonds

Lunch: 2 bites of my daughter’s grilled cheese, (had to), a salad with grilled left over chicken, water with a ton of lemon juice.

Snack- fuji apple and a few pistachios.

Dinner: almond crusted chicken and some wild rice dish my sister in law made. mostly ate the chicken

Desert:  I want chocolate…pms big time. II shall have a chololate kiss with a small teeny tsp of almond butter and swig of milk. That will cut the craving. Oh… I will also spit out the rest of this gummy worm, (don’t need those calories!)

Work out.
I had the kids for the entire day, ( no school, the day after thanksgiving week end… joy. seriously… what’s up with that???). Needless to say, going for a run was not on the agenda. Instead I did my laundry,dishes, and colored  while  I shoved in 5 sets of 15 through out the chores and coloring a picture of  a spooky hair salon my daughter drew.

I did 5 sets total of each. (start with 2-3 sets if you are not use to this kind of movement)

15- leg lifts to side

15- leg lifts to the back

15- squats

15 grand plies

15 counter top push ups ( arms) did it every time at the sink.

15 ab kick outs ( did those on the floor while I built a choo choo train track with my son)

Don’t for get I did 5 sets of those. Do at least 2 sets to start out and work your way up.

That’s the day folks, Not too exciting but lets see whats up for tomorrow.
Check in for tomorrow’s daily diet and work out!
