My legs hurt from the crazy ass workout Jillian Michaels put together. HOLY COW. I felt like a weak little girl...pathetic. I shall try it again.
Breakfast: banana and activia
Lunch: Weight Watchers Meal (again!) Orange Juice
Tea Latte
Snack: granola bar and my co worker gave me one of those Halloween Dairy Milk Bars...it was mini..but still a bad choice

My New Journey!!!
Booked a flight to Vegas today!! Holy Shit.... I haven't been away for over ....um..a really damn long ass time. So i'm super excited and this has motivated me to eat healthier than ever. The fact that I am travelling with two mini girls might have something to do with it. But all in all..i think this is a great reason to start off right....AGAIN. So...it's August 27 and I leave October 2nd. That gives me 36 days to COUNT IT DOWN. My goal is to eat and exercise like i used too. I have some great videos a dungeon basement and kitchen of my very own to make sure this happens.
Weaknesses ---- chocolate...drinking...granola bars...coffee truck...and not working out.
This has to change....AGAIN. Also..there's now mobile postings..I'm gonna try to see how that works....
Stay posted for my journey to VEGASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Case of the Mondays? No More!
Last night this girl in spandex knocked on my door with a bottle in hand and yoga matt under arm. She proceeded to walk into my apartment, clean out my fridge and prep my low fat dinner of pita pizza's with fresh ingredients for our post dungeon workout/pilates ab workout dvd dinner. This is a new concept for me. Prepare?!? You mean, prepare what you are going to eat in advance and then you don't have to rush to feed your 3 year old chicken fingers or pasta AGAIN cause all of your meat is frozen and the only food easy to cook in five minutes is from a bag or box?? This is new.
I actually got a glimpse of what a LIVE IN personal trainer/chef can do for a celebrity. OFCOURSE THEIR BODIES ARE INSANE. They have no choice -- they can't say no. Maybe we give ourselves too much of a choice and that's why our fight against weight loss is actually a fight with ourselves ....deep!
Anyway new goal...i plan on doing pilates everyday...today will be my third day lol. But even 30min a day will do.
My new Monday "start the week off right" nite is going to recharge me every week to get me back on track...AGAIN..haha. Great idea I say!
And..i'll also learn how to prep and cook. Then i'll stop making mashed potatoes from a box..even though they are SO GOOD.

Bitter Sweet Weather
It's July 20th. I've been to my pool ONCE. Once. Because the weather has been absolute CRAP. So..this has given me an excuse to eat like the weather....CRAPPY! I'm pretty sure i've been taken advantage of this and i've been using it as an excuse, but on some level i'm a little happy when I have to tell my son "sorry honey, the pool's closed cause it's raining"...or..."it's too windy sweety" -- truth is..the freaking pool is heated!!! and it's not THAT cold...there were a couple times i could have brought him..there i admit it.
Over the last week..i've indulged in vietnemese pad thai and a huge piece of chocolate cake from Boston Pizza..not to mention the chinese food takeout..and then chinese takeout for lunch the next day...OH and i forgot the margharitas..sangria's....burgers..doritos...olive bread with asiago cheese x10 and that tiramisu and keylime pie...oh and left over food from my son's plate ALL THE TIME.
Back to the lean cuisines for punishment...today's incoming nutrigrain bar and weight watchers meal with a diet coke!!! BORING. Id rather have some olive bread and asiago cheese dip..mmm

Soooooooo....................
Wow...this is embarassing. My last post was June 9th....June 9th!!! I did it AGAIN..what i said I wouldn't do. I wanted to never say again..again and here I am saying it again!
Time to whip myself back into shape. This morning I dropped off my son at my mom's house...for some reason she found it necessary to tell me that I had lost A LOT OF WEIGHT..Really? A Lot? How can that be since my bodies dimensions have not changed and if they had it's only for the bigger?
I've been afraid of the scale since moving out on my own and now I'm too scared that my scale obsession with frustrate my mornings like it used to.
Yes it's true..I was obsessed with the scale. A half pound difference used to make me do squats in the shower and I would weigh myself on two scales because one of them was a little bit more forgiving..especially on my "bloated" days.
More than likely..i did NOT lose A LOT of weight! or any at all. I am just wearing a well fitted outfit! and I always toy with the fact of buying my own personal scale...i haven't made my decision yet. To buy or not to buy a weight scale???????
So....my pool opened and i've been down there once. As I strip down to my bathing suit..i position myself accordingly to make sure not one person can see me from unforgiving angles! AGAIN..I ask...what's it like to put on a bathing suit and not worry about feel self concious! I will get there..I will I will...
New fellow blogger....a new inspiration to get off the couch! I wanna run 8K..can you teach me?

UGH ...again
Member when i wrote that i'd never say again...again! Well I just did...again! I need a kick in the ass! Instead of complaining here..i'm gonna try to really document my incoming...again! and Analyse what the heck is wrong with my willpower...again! What did i do to lose most of my babyweight? Seriously...I can understand people say (well it's baby weight so it's different) It's really not...it's still fat on your body and a calorie is a calorie...granted when i went in to the hospital I was 197lbs...and when i left i was 177lbs....and the rest didn't come off that easy people...
Tuesday: Nutrigrain Bar and Oatmail (6 WW points ALREADY!!!)
Coffee with milk and sweetner
Weight Watchers 4 point meal and a diet pepsi (4 Points)
Went grocery shopping on lunch (cause my lunch room is a couple of cubicle walls in the WAREHOUSE...F-UGH!) Bought lots of fruits and veggies (for my vegetarian son who loves steamed veggies...and me ofcourse)...steared clear of crap...except the big block of cheese...but everyone loves cheese right?? RIGHT?

The Sacred Heart Cleanse...to do or not to do!!!
Wanted to get some input on if you think this will work...it's a cleanse brought to my attention from my SISTA!!!!
Step 1 Sacred Heart Soup DietYou'll be eating a lot of soup for the next 7 days. Here's the recipe:
You can make the recipe on your stove or in a crockpot. This recipe can be done in various ways as well.
Use 2 large cans of tomatoes
a few green onions
A tetra of chicken broth
An envelope of chicken noodle soup mix1-2 peppers any colour you like
1-2 cups vegetable cocktail such as Clamato or V-8 Juice (optional)
1/2 head of shredded cabbage
Cook until everything is tender. Keeps in the fridge about 2-3 days. At day 3 the noodles might get a little too soggy. Some people make a large batch and put 1/2 of it in the freezer.
Follow the diet per the directions below and drink only: water, coffee, tea (and milk on the milk day.) Refrain from sodas, sugar, and anything else not listed in below steps.Step 2
Day 1: Soup and FruitToday, you need to eat soup and fruit. Eat as much of the soup as you want and as much fruit as you'd like. The only fruit you shouldn't consume today is bananas.Step 3 Diet
Day 2: Soup and VegetablesToday you should eat plenty of soup and vegetables. It's a bit of a tricky day but you can eat raw and cooked vegetables. At dinner time, have a baked potato with a little bit of butter. This might be one of the best potatoes you've ever eaten (except that you must skip the sour cream). Potatoes are a high satiety item so can definitely help you feel full. Step 4
Day 3: Soup, Fruit and Vegetables
Today is a bit easier although you are probably going to start craving meat in a bad way. (It won't be long until you can have some meat, don't worry!). You can have soup, fruit and vegetables today. You can't have bananas yet and you can't have another potato, though!Step 5 Day 4: Banana and Milk DayToday is banana day. Eat several bananas and drink some skim milk. If you like, you can blend them together for a yummy smoothie! Eat soup too. By now you might be on your second batch of soup. You're more than 1/2 way done. Are you losing weight yet? You might also feel a bit bloated by now but that will soon pass.Step 6
Day 5: Beef! Today you should have some soup but you can also have as much meat and tomatoes as you want. Eat steak 3 x if you like or cook a whole roast beef and nosh on it all day. You could also opt for cooked chicken or ground beef. You're having meat again tomorrow.Step 7 Day 6: Chicken or FishHave some more meat today. If you had beef yesterday, today you might opt for poultry or fish. Don't forget to have some soup and you can have plenty of extra vegetables as well. A great idea is a chicken and vegetable stir fry, for example.Step 8
Day 7: Final Sacred Heart Soup DayHave at least one bowl of soup today but you can also have some brown rice and vegetables. Make a stir fry if you like!Step 9 Sacred Heart Soup Diet is Done!

Holiday Inn....Why do we need a snack every hour?
Three days in a Sales Conference...I am proud to say i put myself there...and for the first day I did avoid the morning, mid morning, lunch time dessert, and mid afternoon SNACK. What's the purpose of this anyway..does the cookie have to be that big? I wish they shaped snacks to mimic the way they attach themselves to your body. Eg...If that chocolate chip cookie was shaped like huge butt with cellulite and hips then I'd think twice about eating it. Come to think of it..i didn't actually eat the cookie but on the third day i could NOT resist the brownie...it was DAMN GOOD and just what i needed on a Thursday afternoon at 3:00pm.
Needless to say there was absolutely no way for me to say no to the mini chocolate croissants on the third day either..they'd been calling my name for 2 days straight and the fruit bowl that i had on the first two days just didn't look good AT ALL.
Back to lean cuisines and granola bars today...wow..i really need to shake it up a bit.
Hopefully i will not consume too much alcohol this weekend. I really don't think I'll be prepared for my pool opening and that BLOWS...since I'd like to feel comfortable running after my son.
I'll keep you posted!

Would you rather Apple or Pear?
Am currently discussing with my good friend what would you rather? Belly Buldge or Cottage Cheese Butt? Wow...those both sound gross! But it seems like we either have one or the other (in most cases)...Currently, i carry like a Pear or Triangle..or i like to say "just not pretty"..but i would much rather have a nice butt and legs cause (to me) you can hide a little belly buldge much easier...AND I THINK IT LOOKS CUTE! i know i know...weird but true.
I think this fight depends on how you carry currently...cause you always want what you can't have..ALTHOUGH, i have no clue why anyone would want Rhino Butt!
It's my day 2 of hard boiled eggs instead of granola bar breakfast...They are good and good for you and full of protein so they keep you full long.
Last night's dinner was deeeelish! Did i over indulge? maybe on the bread basket..but all in all..i definitely had room for more. Mind/body struggle...it will happen forever and i need to get used to it.
Today's lunch is - Weight Watcher Meal..surprise surprise...AND i found a new high fibre nature valley granola bar that doesn't make me feel ill like the rest of them anymore...YAY!
ANYWAY, i will keep you posted on my lack of dungeon life. This weekend i need to get down there FO SHO!!!!

THE LAST SUPPER...AGAIN!
This is my last...again..k! I am going to seriously get my act together..if i'm not perfect then atleast to make some better choices.
Incoming: 2 hard boiled eggs, water, tea, diet pepsi, and 4 point weightwatchers meal.

DO OVER!!!
Can you do that with dieting? a "do-over". Start from the beginning....again?
Cottage weekend return to reality....those calories from the cottage really DO count!!! Although I did not consume a lot of calories in alcohol..for some reason unknown...i can't say i was following any kind of meal plan...AT ALL.
Burgers, chips, hot dogs, smartfood.....NOT GOOD.
So i vow...again...to start over....again. There was a time when i had a realllly young son..and i was able to follow a diet and go to the gym....i'm not sure what got in the way but i want that back...so i'm gonna get it back...again! and hopefully never have to write the word again, again! Get it?
Tomorrow night...dungeon...i take visitors...all are welcome!

I AM a Big Loser
Remember when I wrote that post about remotivation? because of watching the Biggest Loser....? Well I went to the TFC game last night and had a hot dog with two beers...YEEEEEAH! How about "I wanna be a hypocrite?" hmmm....
Maybe it wasn't that bad since i had a weight watchers meal for lunch ...again. But it can't be on my diet itineray.
Right now i have 25 minutes left at work before a 4 day wknd at the cottage where junk food is inevitable. HOPEFULLY..i will "remember" to take my running shoes so that I can take advantage of the northern air...I hope to drag along some of my friends also on this jog! I guess I should tell them that! I WILL try to not overdue the camp fire snacks..but i can't make any promises...at the cottage your clothes have elastic waist bands so they grow with you..not against you...maybe i'll wear my spanx all weekend for a reminder of what i hate to see in the mirror!!! I'm pretty sure the next time I go up it'll be hot enough to remove a layer of clothing...WOULDN'T IT BE NICE JUST ONCE TO NOT BE SELF CONCIOUS??? what is that like? i can't even fathom it!
If I go to the cottage on a strict diet...i'll fail and feel like crap....if i stay on the diet..i'll feel like crap..is there a vicious circle going on here? i think so....dieting is like the pink elephant in the room you try to forget about but it's always there behind your shoulder...my pink elephant is behind me too...it looks like a bum! it is a bum!

I WANNA BE A BIG LOSER
Last night i watched The Biggest Loser Finale...where the winner lost over 130lbs. At one time she lost 14lbs in one WEEK...ONE WEEK...WTF. After my fajita dinner i was remotivated to get back on the band wagon. I guess that's the purpose of the show and I fell for it..but come on...if all i want to lose is the infamous 10-15 lbs...the only thing that's stopping me is "the fight with my mind..not my body" -said the 63 year old at home winner who dropped over 54% of his own body weight!!!! Look at this pic...look at it..this woman is 48 years old!!!

Am still....
Am still having myself a happy period! Well my stomach is definitely satisfied anyway. Why am I a bottomless pit right now? oh i know why? Cause i'm a woman!
This weekend wasn't as bad as it probably could have been....I avoided the Mother's day take out chinese meal by cooking veggies and chicken for the fam! I'll leave out the Strawberry Shortcake..i finished my son's piece! On Saturday my "friend/sabotager" twisted my arm to McD's drive through...hahaha...i don't know if it was a twisted arm or I just said "sure"...but i'm gonna say it was a "twist my arm" kind of occurence. I had a Quarter Pounder sans cheese! Apparantly they "sans'd" everything else..there was NOTHING ON MY QUARTER POUNDER. I think i saw a pickle..but i wasn't sure! My "friend/sabotoger" was blessed with a double quarter pounder with all my toppings...but it was tossed out the window...literally!
I've been lacking in the dungeon department. I will definitely go down there today and run my butt off....i'm just so damn tired! and i'm still having myself a happy period! By the way....yesterday's Mother's day breakfast was Egg's Benedict and Home Fries...NOT A DIET MEAL.
Today's Incoming:
Granola bar x2
Weight Watcher's Meal
Yogurt
Coffee.....will definitely be getting a Diet Coke off the truck's THIRD stop to my building!

Work Getting In The Way!!!
Can you believe i haven't sat down to write a blog. Does my work think that they actully pay me for 8 hours a day...Couping me up in a board meeting and asking me to pay attention when there is donuts a foot away from my face.... We need to back track though!
Monday night -- i WENT TO THE DUNGEON BELOW AGAIN..and ran and ran and ran..and I have a witness too! After running, the honeydew that i cut up pre run was a great snack and I wasn't even hungry after so I went to bed feeling FANTASTIC.
Tuesday -- SALES MEETING DAY...
Started off the day with coffee and a fiber one bar! There were 24 donuts in my face ALL DAMN MORNING..the smell of cinnamon and the fried bread..how can you resist? Somehow I did...i know i know...i didn't even eat a timbit. I waited for break and made a pkg of cinnamon oatmeal and was sa-tis-fied!!!! Lunch was brought in and we had to work right through it...dammit! We had Extreme Pita..Instead of the Chicken Caesar I opted for Falafal...not a good choice but come one...i can't turn down falafel....especially since i didn't have a donut.
Sales Meeting Team Building Night ---BOWLING...HOW ORIGINAL! Before bowling where i knew there'd be pizza wings and everything fried...the "girls" and myself at work went to Mr. Greek!!!!! I had a gyro dinner...okay maybe not the best choice again...but it was good and it was 5:30..and comeon..i didn't eat a donut!!!!!!!
Wednesday morning sales meeting ---- coffee and digestive cookies!!!! I LOVE DIGESTIVE COOKIES IN MY COFFEE AND NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD SOME....some..not one! I also had some fibre waffles in the car on my way to work and a nutrigrain bar at break. Lunch was Swiss Duck where i opted for salad but had some of my associates fries ...just because!!!!
On the way home...i was a little pissed to find out that I probably didn't get the job that i went for...apparantly third party personality tests don't think i have a personality....FUNNY HOW PPL JUDGE PERSONALITY THROUGH A FREAKING COMPUTER....don't get me started...i guess references and a great interview can't get you involved and maybe i should have lied on the "personality" tests!!!! ANYWAY....the stupid Wendy's girl smiled at me and christian and i had a hamburger ...with salad....i'm trying to force myself down to the dungeon but i'm so damn tired and last night i got 6 hrs of sleep...UGH!
Goal for Thursday ----- Get down to the workout dungeon and eat fruit....and drink more aqua!!!
Monday night -- i WENT TO THE DUNGEON BELOW AGAIN..and ran and ran and ran..and I have a witness too! After running, the honeydew that i cut up pre run was a great snack and I wasn't even hungry after so I went to bed feeling FANTASTIC.
Tuesday -- SALES MEETING DAY...
Started off the day with coffee and a fiber one bar! There were 24 donuts in my face ALL DAMN MORNING..the smell of cinnamon and the fried bread..how can you resist? Somehow I did...i know i know...i didn't even eat a timbit. I waited for break and made a pkg of cinnamon oatmeal and was sa-tis-fied!!!! Lunch was brought in and we had to work right through it...dammit! We had Extreme Pita..Instead of the Chicken Caesar I opted for Falafal...not a good choice but come one...i can't turn down falafel....especially since i didn't have a donut.

Monday night approaching 7pm (the devil hours of prime time tv where the snacks are close)
So somehow I managed not to binge at home while making dinner. Okay i had some soda crackers but 8 of those are like 1 point on weight watchers.
I did however make a tofu stir fry...i may have used a bit too much teriyaki sauce but whatevs! Even my vegen son ate the stir fry and apparantly he loved it. I cut up the half of honeydew melon left in my fridge so i can eat it after my workout instead of pringles....i am a bit full and need to digest my dinner before heading down to the dungeon of pain...but i will get there...HOPEFULLY! it's so damn close..i really have no excuse...except..i'm not too sure how to cook tofu and mybelly hurts a bit!!! wah wah wah

Back track weekend incoming:
Friday after 5:00pm I made veggie stir fry for me and my sis (who just joined Weight Watchers online) Except she came over late and i was starving so i had a piece of leftover pizza. boo...and then..i got the kids some chips and i had 1 or 3 OKAY!
ANYway...Saturday's pregym plan was scrambled eggs and salsa and post gym was chicken noodle soup...then i went to my sisters starving and had some handfuls of rice crispies...followed by a night of pizza and chicken risotto from Alice Fazooli's....MMMMM.....but i worked out that day so it's okay right?
By the way..my legs and ass are killing me (i love it_my favorite feeling) HOWEVER..i did have some alcoholic beverages on Saturday night..but one night a week isn't bad right?
Sunday Sunday....um...i can't even remember what i ate..
um....coffee..two timbits from the 20 pack i brought to my nephews
1 slice whole wheat bread with a tablespoon of PB and J
Some pasta with brocolli i was feeding Pearce
a Granola Bar
Mortadela slices left over from Christian's plate
English muffin with tomato and fat free cheese slice.

Almost forgot Monday's Incoming So Far:
Granola Fiber One Bar
Coffee -- milk & splenda
Weight Watchers Frozen Meal 6 points

I DID IT....
So...i finally went down to the dungeon below....and ran for 20 minutes straight while my son gave me water periodically and asked when i was gonna be done.
4.0-4.6 20 minutes NO STOPPING...and that a looooong time after my regular workout days. The gym is good and has everything i need including NO PEOPLE! love love love.
My next task is to find a great workout for a workout gym that lies below in the dungeon as well. Found my way to the squash courts and kicked a ball around with Christian who loves the echoes......
This morning's incoming --- 2 eggs and egg white scrambled with fat free cheese slice...and coffee..no sugar...so far so good.
now i'm hungry though :( story of my life

MAY 1ST?????????
Where did May come from? this is rediculous! I only have 30 days til pool opening and as of right now...i turn my head before i see a mirror!!!!
Apple for breakfast - not in a package YAY...baby steps...
This weekend i have no plans...so hopefully the alcohol intake will be minimal and i can spare some calories to my ASS! Went shopping yesterday and spend $197.00 at H&M...not good and hopefully the skinny mirror in the dressing room wasn't too far off! Those people do that on purpose..i wonder what reeeeealy skinny people see in that skinny mirror? Another lean cuisine for lunch...that's 5 in a row...kind of grose but they actually taste pretty good and i'm saving money on leaving for lunch! My goal is to get into the Gym that is two floors below my condo this weekend.....let's see what happens!

As of now....
Almost the end of my day...FINALLY! This is the hardest part for me. I can go all day with little food...but once 4:00pm hits...its a free for all and you better hope your not a granola bar in the bottom of my purse!
Today's incoming:
Coffee
1 Banana
Granola Bar
Lean Cuisine
Diet Pepsi --- track how many of these you see..i'm trying to give up aspartame (IT'S NOT WORKING)
Fiber One Bar
Some Hot Tamales that were put on my desk!!!!
Needless to say..i'm hungry...i'm gonna have to bring more fruit and veggies to snack on...
Thankfully there is no vending machine here (piss me off) Unfortunately, the coffee truck comes 3 times a day! I have YET to purchase anything off of it...okay i had one pack of pretzels!
I'm gonna try to have a lighter dinner...but we shall see..it's a rainy night and there's wine in my rack!

Once it travels to the bottom of the string and returns to your hand, you grab it and throw it down again!
Friday night: wine and cheese, pizza and beer, chicken parm and rice, cheesecake.
Saturday night: wedding...two dessert table visits and lots of alcohol! 5 Course meal!
Sunday: Confirmation after party at a beautiful restaurant with food and fam! 5 Course meal!
All this followed by a "mom" comment----well u looked like u gained weight! NO SHIT!
Is this a mom thing??? and Italian mom thing?.....don't people already know when they are a little "bloated"! What is the point of this comment? Is it to spark an "a-ha moment" in my head!
Weight loss story stems back from the 67 lbs weight gain during my pregnancy 3.5 years ago. All stretchmarks and cellulite bumps were worth it and somehow I managed to lose it!!!! BUT..my pool is opening in 33 days and I would like to lose the infamous 10-15lbs!
Goals (more than 1)
** Learn to run -- training for 5K Run for the Cure on October 4
** Get back into Yoga
** Weight train! and use the gym two floors under my condo!
