OK, Starting the 11day ERshred!!

 Everyone's getting good results and i'm sitting here watching!!  I think 2020 lockdown, isolation, social distancing, lack of oxygen from my stupid mask (and becoming a homebody this year) has gotten the best of me and kicked my A$$ just a little to much for my liking!

I got my shakes, natural accelerators, bone broth, 2021 agenda, measuring tape, scale & tripod ready for Monday..

Goals for 2021

USE my Isagenix products (HELP FIX my gut health)

GET ACTIVE!

get INTO NATURE (relieve stress and bring my camera)

TAKE TIME to read and make art (do things i love again)

work on making my YARD my HEAVEN on Earth.

This $hit just got REAL...

May 30,2014

Ok, Getting out of my way and getting this done, what have i been waiting for?? idk, that's a great question.. well it's MY time, time to stop dimming my light, and draining my "bucket" for others.. LOL, hear that?? keep your hands outta my damn bucket ;)   I've been feeling pretty run down and crappy for quite awhile now (lot of cramps, bloating, acid reflux and general blahness from foods) well since adding Kefir Water into my life a week ago things have changed so much for the better it is crazy, i feel FINE, foods aren't bothering me anymore and i am gonna take advantage of this. This $hit just got real and i'm running with it!!

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.

Ok, "linking" my stuff .. Let's get this done!!

Spring's Here!!! Time to shed the winter blah's and get in shape!

Ok, it's that time of the year when everyone gets on something to feel and look better for summer..  So i've weighed and measured myself on March 19th.. did a 2 day cleanse and lost -3lbs & -7 inches (and i cheated on the last day :( i was stressed and caved)

This morning's shake was SOOOOO GOOD!! i had 3 strawberries, 6 almonds, 3 teaspoon fulls of greek coconut yoghurt & and a bite of marble cheese for my mid morning snack today..  Lunch is gonna be a salad with cooked chicken & chick peas added to it.  mid afternoon snack is a fiber snack (bar).. supper tonight is a Shake and my night time snack will be a honey crisp apple with almond butter.  :)

20 days of Isagenix before vacation

Yup.. vacation crept up on me, i've been so busy that i didn't think about it, now my cell phone buzz's "reminding" me about it, can you tell i'm a bit freaked out!!  So now i've got all my products pulled out and gonna make a mad isagenix dash to see what can happen in 20 days.. keep you's posted

it's week 4, day 22 at the gym for me

Oct 30,2012

Wow, starting my 4th week.. woo hoo, will be measuring myself Nov 18th.  Still struggling on the eating every couple of hours, getting enough water in, and back on track with my Isagenix.. but was looking way back in my blog and read that i had lost -19.5lbs in 24 days.. how's that for a real eye opener and to get the motivation flowing??!!  I know what i'll be doing first thing in the morning..  :) 

I've been hitting the gym..

Yup today is week 2, day 10 for me.. Woo Hoo, so far so good.. Lovin' it!! I go 4 days in a row to workout and take 3 days off for my rest days..  The gym is about 20 minutes from my house, hasn't been busy at the times that i've gotten there, and i can even go when my son has hocky games or practices.. Bonus!!  I got myself measured today, and will remeasure in 1 month + 1 week.

Saturday will be DAY 1

 

yup, found these little terrors.. took awhile cause i think i hid them :/ (that has to be it)..  Well Saturday morning is DAY 1 for me (doing a 9 day cleanse) it's been a long time since i've done one.. i'll keep you's up to date (wish me luck)..

ok Sept 16th:
Arms, chest, Waist, Hips, Thigh... all measured up and recorded, lets see what happens :)

Ok, summer vacation is Over.. Time to get back on TRACK!!

Sept 14,2012

Yup, time to get back on Track, make a new game plan and set some goals.. vacation is over and "winging it" just got kicked to the curb like this weeks trash.  Picked up a weekly pill organizer to help get "that" aspect of my life organized (to bad the week runs Backwards.. but whatever) i'm flexible like that..  lol (what did i expect for $1.49 from a liquidation store right.. right!)

2nd week weigh in Sept 1,2012

Oh heck, i didn't loose, but Woo Hoo i didn't gain, i didn't do good this week and am thanking my lucky stars for the 0... (phew)!! i had takeout and popcorn and a huge pop at the movies, went up 2lbs the day after the movies tuesday night. So to get those 2lbs off by Satudrday morning had me worried.. So with that being said and it being Monday Sept 3rd, i gotta get back ontrack and hustle to get a nice loss in for this Saturday Sept 8th weigh in.. keep you's posted  (oh i'm loving the brain boost and sleep spray, i fall asleep really fast, stay asleep and am waking up refreshed in the morning).

1st week's loss Aug 25,21012

Well my weigh-in in my dreams last night was not good.. the scale wouldn't zero in so i got fustrated and ate something.. (nice dream huh)!!  Well this morning i woke up wondering how the scale would act.. it was fine, i'm glad to say i'm down -4.5lbs.. woo hoo i needed that gone!!  So that's my start, now to grab this great feeling and run with it.. cutting back on coffee was hard this week, but it's do-able.. and i'm not buying soda/pop anymore to bring in the house, i might have the odd 1 when out at a restaurant.. but so far so good (ya ya i know, it's only been a week you're saying..lol)

got in a couple of walks this week, 2 in our local walking trails 6km total,  and walked along a boardwalk, then the sand .. oh ya we got rained out on that one.. not sure how far we walked :(

Weighed in..

OK, Me and a little group of friends (4 of us in total) are gonna be checking in with each other every Friday to chart our weight, we have set 1 goal for now and will ONLY participate in it when ALL of us have met it.. (let's just say, i don't want to be the one holding the group back).. i'm AWESOME at holding myself back.. but the "group" is another story.. (also, i've watched to many movies where "friends" teach other friends lessons with tube socks tied shut with bars of soap or rolled quarters in them) no thank you!!  So since i'm running around town today, i weighed myself and "checked in" with the group.. I just finished my 1st Isalean shake of the day and have PREPARED snacks to bring with me..  this is where i'll be "changing my ways", before i "failed to prepared.. so i was preparing to fail" NOT anymore.. my mantra in my head will be .. "Prepare" i'll even say it outloud if i have to.. heck i'll probably say it in my sleep, my husband might wonder what he has to prepare for if he hears me.. lol

Good luck ladies see you at goal #1.
