Saturday morning waiting for the gym to open.. who woulda thunk it??!!

Aug 31,2013

I was up early enough to be at the gym for 7 this morning, but remembered they open at 8 on the weekend.  Yup, what is going on in the universe when I, Tracy.. the LOVER of sleeping in is now sitting in a car in a parking lot on a Saturday morning to a closed gym, waiting for the "open" sign to magically turn on??  Could it be I've traded in my couch or bed for weight machines, free weights and an elypitical??  Yup, I can't believe it... but it's true!!  Today's workout was AMAZING!! today was the first day I FELT ?? idk like I OWNED my body & that workout, I didn't feel like someone trapped in a "fat, this is not my body" type of feeling, I don't know if you can relate.. but it was a great feeling, my body wasn't just going thru the motions of the workout, my body/muscles powered thru that workout.. does that make sense?? maybe it was the "aroma" of cow patties last night in my yard that got to me?? (45 cows running loose in my yard last night, took a couple of hours in the dark to wrangle them up and get them back in their pasture) for those of you's that didn't see my fb post :)  but idk, i'm liking what i'm feeling and seeing so I guess i'll be sticking to my new routine.. my bed or couch will be seeing me enough at night because I am now going to start getting to be earlier!!  Thinking about a 10:00 -10:30 bedtime is in order.. (so much better and healthier than 2am)!!  ttyl

2nd cleanse day got SAVED!!

Woo Freaking Hoo is all I gotta say...

Today is day 2 of my 2 day cleanse, and I woke up, feeling blah, tired, headachy and just wanted to eat and crawl back into bed and hide under the covers (this makes week 4 of a 6 week challenge).  Yesterday was a fine, got thru my cleanse day no problem, got all my water in and was rewarded with a -4lbs loss this morning..(I usually have my loss AFTER my 2nd day), so you can imagine I DIDN'T want to break my 2nd day by eating.. i'm so glad I put "energenix" & "e+shot" in my water/cleanse shaker cup thru-out the day.. It SAVED my cleanse day!!  Not only did it help me wake & liven up & feel great the rest of the day, I made 3 big healthy meals to last me DAYS.. I can't wait to eat them tomorrow.  I made a BIG pot of soup, a chicken and veggie dish to go over wild rice & a tray of frittata.. these are healthy meals the family can grab as well when their hungry, YAY!!  Here's a pic of everything (except the wild rice, it's finishing up).

MY 3 week results (as at June 19,2013)

I weighed and measured myself after screwing up day 2 of a 2 day cleanse.. I CAVED & the Ribs won..(then i had coffee, and a 2 bite cupcake, or  maybe 2?? doesn't seem to qaulify as a cupcake if it can be eatten in two bites) BUT even tho i didn't get the "results" on the scale for those 2 days that i would of LOVED to have had (why are we slaves to the scale??)!!  I would like to Share my results so far..

My total weight loss is -11lbs  (not bad for 3 weeks and 1 screw up) I'm more than PLEASED with that.  AND my total inches lost is -14,   OH, and 2 of those inches were from this week, i'll take the inches lost over a weight loss anyday!!

so this is how it breaks down on my inches lost:

Chest     -3
Waist     -3.5
stomach  -1.5
hips        -2
thigh      -2.25
calve      -1.25
arm          -.5

Woo Hoo, not to shabby.. i'll measure again in 3 more weeks.

Can't do the "Job"?? You're outta here!!

June 15, 2013

I'm sorry, i'm on a mission, so i'm gonna have to get Ruthless!!.. I'm a Mother, Wife, Business owner, Entrepreneur, (I work out of my house)  I got stuff to do, i work odd hours, long hours, weekends.. etc.. SO if your with me and NOT doing your job, your task at hand to help me succeed, we have a problem!  I noticed you NOT performing at your best today, your "structure" has loosened, you've been slack and really letting me down, i've noticed you dragging and hanging around while i've been working, even if i don't see you, i FEEL you.. i know your job is not getting done, i know it's not all your fault i've got some blame in this to, i've been doing my shakes & cleansing and feeling awesome since i'm loosing weight and inches, so the added energy and mental clarity & focus that i have gained is pushing me forward in my work, be it personal or business.. but that's where your job comes to an end.. i have no use for you or any others that is letting me down, after my shake & this blog is posted.... You my slacker turquoise pair of undies are going into the trash!!! your services are no longer required since your job is not being done properly, and we'll "see" which others are on the chopping block as i continue to loose inches & push forward in my Life.. It's not personal, it's business.. Thanks for serving me well in the past.
