Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays

Wow, it's already week 7. That's crazy! Head to Mama M's and Keely's blog and check to see how their week 7 went!

Ladies...how's it goin'? We are down to our last three weeks of Hot and Healthy...can you see a difference?
I can't see much of a difference in my body, but I love knowing that I have not had a coke in over 5 weeks! I also have not had a sweet tea in over 5 weeks! I drink unsweetened tea with splenda, and also sugarfree crystal light. It's nice to know that I have accomplished just this! It may seems little to other people, but this is huge to me!! I have never been this long without a Coke in over 3 years!

How are you doin' with your cardio...did you get your four hours in? (Oh, and Keely's being easy on us...we're just gonna leave the cardio goal at four hours!)
Sorry Keely, I quit working out until I have my surgery friday. After the surgery, i'll start physical therapy, then i'll start back working out!

Have you been able to incorporate more fruits and veggies in your diet? How about water?
I love fruits and veggies any way, so just telling me to eat more, is fine to me! I eat veggie's almost every night. And i've also been eating an apple a day! I have been drinking more water, just not 8 glasses a day.

I hope everyone had a great week 7!!!

Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays

I didn't participate last week because I was hardly on my blog. I was just so busy. So am I this week, and the next. I have finals next week and i'm done with school for a month! Can I get a WHAT WHAT! Ahem..anyways.. I've been doing OKAY on eating healthy. Lance has even joined in with me, so we're both dieting and exercising. Well i'm not exercising, i'm holding out until my knee surgery. It's really painful when I exercise and i'm focused on getting my knee better. So after surgery and physical therapy, i'll be starting The Shred again, walking on our treadmille and walking gliding on the gazelle. Lance has already started walking on the treadmill. If he keeps this up, he'll lose 20 pounds in 2 month. Men just make me sick! It's so easy for them to lose weight! I have had no fast food, we've been eating at home, and i've been munching on fruit! Yay for me! I hope you all have been doing great too! Go check out Mama M and Keely and see their progress!!!

I've got a survey post coming up tomorrow. It's random questions I found and decided to answer them. So don't forget to stop by tomorrow!

Hot & Healthy - Week 4!

Wow, I cannot believe it's already week 4! I've done better this week than last week, but I still think I could have done even better.

Have you gotten into a good workout routine that you're able to stick to?

Not really. I still have not moved the treadmill into my den yet. I will do that soon though.
Did you try the Pilates exercise's..please say you did..please!?!
:( no. I still have no internet at my new house yet. So i usually only blog when i'm at work, or at lance's office. I promise Keely, I will try it as soon as I can!!!

Did you get all your cardio in?
No I did not :(. But I got more in than last week! I also try to park in the back of the parking lot at wal-mart, and all that good stuff to try to get a few more steps in when I can!

Did you have any fast food..if so, did Mama M's awesome healthy tips post make you choose more carefully?
I did have fast food, I really dont know what was better for me, so I just tried watching my portions and not eat everything in front of me!
Last, but sooo not least..Are you feeling Hot and Healthy?
Not totally there yet, but i'm hoping to get there soon!!!

I'm still so happy with myself that I have been off of Coke for 3 whole weeks now! Holy Cow! You guys have no idea how long that is for me...unless your the person that is addicted to coke or any other carbinated beverage like I am was. I really have been trying to watch the portions that I eat also. I've been staying out of the candy bowl at my work :). Thats another bonus point for me! lol.

Hope you hot and healthy girls are doing great!!!

Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays

I've been debating all day if I should even join in on the blog hop this week because I did just horrible this past week! I hardly exercised, and my eating habits weren't TO bad, but still could have been better. I've been letting things get in the way of my exercising. I'll want to do my exercise video but then say "well cleaning the kitchen needs to get done", or "I need to run to walmart". I just need to STOP and realize that I have to get my exercising done to get healthy! ugh. I'm so ashamed. But I will brag on myself that today was exactly 2 weeks since i've had a coke! or any carbinated(sp?) drink!!! except for half of a sprite. But as most of you know that i'm addicted to coke's and this is my new world record! yay for me!

So any of those that want to leave me a tough comment and tell me to get my butt up and get my exercises done, then be my guest! Maybe that will help me! I hope you all did a lot better than I did! Tomorrow is the big day, I go see an orthopedic surgeon at 10:30 in the morning to see what's up with my knees. Let's hope for good news!

Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays- Week 2!

Week two is beginning! And lots more exercise and eating tips are coming up from Keely and Mama M! Here are a few questions for the past week that all of us hot and healthy girls are answering!!

How'd your first week go? It went ok. I could have done better!


Did you get your cardio in? Not the 150 minutes like i should, but i'll try better this week! Some things came in the way of that, ill try not to let it happen this week!

Did you try any of Mama M's snacking tips? yes! i really just watched my portions. And GOT OUT OF MY CANDY BOWL at work! I also quit drinking soda's all together!

Did you at least try Keely's Pilates Hundred? No because I dont have the internet at my new house yet. But i'll try to get it some how!

Are you taking this as seriously as we are? Yes I am! I'm just slacking a bit!

What are your thoughts? I love this idea. It's great knowing that there are more women out there going through this with me!

Instead of 150 minutes.. we are now adding 20 minutes on to that! so for the next week, we all need to get in 170 minutes of cardio!!! We can do it girls!

Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays!

Some really cool blog gals Keely and Mama M have come up with an awesome way for all of us to stay healthy through all of the holidays coming up! It's called Hot and Healthy Thru The Holidays. Every Tuesday, they will have a blog hop, where everyone that wants to participate can link up and Keely and Mama M will be giving healthy eating tips and exercising tips! Keely will also be giving everyone a goal to meet at the end of each week. We will keep up with our time that we exercise. I have NO will power whatsoever, so i'm really hoping and praying with all the women that are doing this, that I will to! I have pretty much "let myself go" since i've been out of highschool and it's killing me. I know that Keely and Mama M did not start this up for dieting, they did it to get people back into eating healthy. But i'm really hoping as I go with this, I will shed a alot few pounds to. I'm going to go get the Jillian Michaels workout dvd today. and also go get some workout equipment that my mom has in a storage building. My worst mistake is EATING! omg, I eat so horrible. Anything that is SWEET in front of me, I eat! I have a HUGE candy bowl at my desk for the employees and people who walk in the door. Since it's right beside me, I eat candy out of it like 3-5 times a day. So bad I know! So i'm so excited for Keely and Mama M to be giving me some helpful hints! Yay! So here we go!
