GROCERIES

Every Sunday since the new year has started I have been going to the grocery store and buying 1 weeks worth of groceries. I think its a really good plan becasue it keeps me focus on my meals for the week and i wont OVEREAT.

This week the list was very simple since many of the items i still had from week 2, oh did i forget....IM STARTING WEEK 3 with a 1lb weight lost. Yeah, I will take that one pound and run with it. But back to the grocery list. I realize that when i go to the market with a list im not rebuying things that i already have inside of my house so of course tha means that i am saving money. The power of the grocery list can be GREAT, only becasue that means that i have planned out all of my meals for the week and since im not deviating from the list I can easily pack my lunch and even fix my dinner for the week. Which helps especially since sometimes i get home about 30mins before my daily dinner time.

Yes i go to the grocery store with my cute purple grocery list that i pull outta of my purse. So as i go thru the outside aisle....lol...beacuse nothing on this list is in the inside aisle of the store. Yes, i am shocked  (snickering) that my food doesnt even get to be in the middle of the store. However,dont get me wrong i used to loved those middle aisle but because im not shopping them i now am saving extra money every week and now i can put fresh flowers inside of my house!!!!!

Weeken What!!!!!

So Saturday, was a pretty busy day for me i woke up and went Ballys to get my butt kicked in a 60 minute spin class by yet another PERKY spinning instructor. I was upposed to run but that was cut short by me busting my knee on the wall when i was feeding Zaire (DONT ASK) but all that came out of this was that i realized that i need to hurry up and get married becasue as i layed on the floor in too much pain to cry all i wanted was a husband to bring me an ice pack :( .
Then after the gym i zipped over to my dentist fr my bi-annual teeth cleaning. I cant be trying to make myself health and let the rest of me go to pots.LOL. Then of course like a dummy i didnt eat before i wewnt to the dentist so of course i was STARVING afterwards but ummm i had my teeth clean so i had to wait an additional 30 MINUTES before i can eat. To which i went over to Subway and got me a sub(NO CHEESE) before i ran into EJ Dominican to get my hair hooked up. Yes, now i actually have to take care of my hair since i have went back to the creamy crack and i cant walk around with my hair looking a mess. 
Of, course i have forgotten how long you have to be at the beauty salon when you are getting your hair done and since i had just waisted like 3 HOURS okay not waited invested. I decided that i will get my eyebrows threaded and man did the girl do such a good job. I love to get my eyebrows threaded cuz they are amazing afterwards but becasue i like to keep my eyebrows thick they can get to the point where they cross the point of no return. then after this is zipped over to Ann Taylor Loft and did a 3 hour shift and then went home and slept.Sunday when i woke up my knee was still hurting so i decide not to run HOWEVER, i did take Zaire on a one mile walk in my community. (he loved it) I watched the perfect show during my morning breakfast on MTV, "I Used To Be Fat", even though i dont like the motivation of the majority of the individuals who have been on the show the young lady Mackenzie showed what it was like to start off trying to lose weight for others and then realizing that its best to lose weight for myself. So with this being say i like to always find pictures of myself that let me know....GIRL U USED TO BE FAT

THATS RIGHT IT'S THE DIP AN PITTS!!!!!!!

Week 1 Done

So for the past seven days I have been following the Dr. Goglia Quick Start Plan. Yes, I have broken down and started following a meal plan that is more detailed and structure then what I’m used to. I didn’t want to write anything until I had actually finished Week One. I thought the meal plan would had been a lot harder then what it was but it’s like Cooler 1 of the Clean Eat which but with a lot more calories. Also because I started training for my half marathon(s) I also have actually added in some more calories thru protein shakes (snack) and wheat bread (lunch). My Fitness Pal app keeps telling me that on my days of NO EXERCISE I am not getting enough (between 1100-1200)  but because I’m not doing any activity I don’t mind it that much.

Example of Dr. Goglia 21 Meal Plan

Regardless of your starting weight, take a multivitamin daily.

        



  FOOD                                    PORTION SIZE



Meal 1:    Oatmeal, plain, cooked (not instant)     1 1/2 cups

           Orange (or a banana)                         1

Meal 2:    Apple                                        1

Meal 3:    Brown rice, cooked                         1 cup

           Chicken breast, no skin                    4 oz.

           Squash, steamed                            1 cup

Meal 4:    Raw celery                                 2 cups

           Peanut butter (natural)                    1 tbsp

Meal 5:    Whitefish, cooked

             (not battered or fried)                  8 oz.

           Zucchini, steamed                          1 cup

           Asparagus, steamed                         1 cup

           Tossed salad, no dressing                  3 cups

Meal 6:    Mixed berries                             1-2 cups



This is how I have been eating for the pass week and I haven’t had the dreadful HUNGER HEADACHES, I actually had the opposite where I have felt too full and have struggle with skipping my snack. So on days like that I would take my vitamins with an organic juice blend of tart cherry and pomegranate juice. This way I don’t dip low on my calories.

I can say that the first week is over and I have dropped a total of 8lbs (MOST OF THAT IS PURE WASTE&WATER) however, I do have more energy and am looking forward to the next week. This week may be kind of hellish since I will be returning to the run training for this week also.
