Find out...

Finding out what is in your favorite food or snack is truly the key to NEVER eating it again.

After watching the movie Supersize Me a few months ago, I have indeed stopped eating fast food hardly ever. I eat there maybe a few times a month, and I definitely am careful with what I get.

However, last night, I got two jacks cheese sticks. I posted that on my Facebook and realized that I was killing myself. My sister-in-law (owns Energy Explosion) wrote a comment that said

"Kami Houtz Price Death.... Probably so. From clogged arteries. I used to get them all the time in high school and then my sister got a job there. They literally melt 1 full cup of butter on top of the dough under the cheese. Knowing that I could never eat there again. Hope this doesn't make you mad, but I know you are working your ass off and it's sort of my job to keep people accountable. Love you!"

Need I say more? I ignorantly eat food from restaurants thinking it's just fine. A few times I have had friends say they worked there and know how they make it.. (Maglebys amazing rolls...) and honestly, I have NOT had a desire to eat any of those things since I find that out. I really need to do research on things that I like to eat when I go out to eat and then once I know how many calories and etc.. fat .. SHIZ are in it, I honestly can say I don't even crave them.

Moral of the story is, I need to do some research. I woke up this morning and went to a circut training class @ sweatychix. It kicked my TRASH across the street... Zumba is NOT enough to get to where I want to be. Zumba is a fun cardio class, that will help keep me motivated to move. But, it's not going to get that weight loss and toning that I also need. I've said a million times before that I WILL not get into a diet or work out routine that I can't handle doing for the rest of my life, so I'm taking this one day at a time. And I know what my goal is, no matter how long it may take to get me there.. no matter how many times I mess up, I WILL keep moving forward and give each new day a chance for change.

Lesson Learned:
Excuses don't make you healthy... they only prevent you from getting there.

It's all a matter of conquering your mind. With EVERYTHING, food, working out, anything you're trying to achieve. If you can get your mind to be controlled, you can achieve great things. You would be amazed at what your body can do.

A daily moment of mine.. and no, not the "I'm pregnant" one......

Who's with me on this one?

So funny, huh?


ps.. if you haven't tried Zumba yet... you haven't lived.

Food Journals

So, after a weigh in last night.. I learned I gained just 1.8 lbs over the holidays.

Oh shiz.. I was supposed to LOSE weight. Well I'm just glad I didn't gain more than that.

However, my trainer dude Isaiah once told me that a food journal is the best way to be accountable for what you're taking in each day. Now, we all know I'm the worst at being consistent with such things. If you don't know that about me, you'll figure it out by following this blog. This seems to be my problem, I do something for a while and do it 100%, then get "bored' and move on to something else. "The next new idea that will be different than the last."

Anywho,

Here's my food journal:

Home made French Dip..

And Cheesy Bread from Two Jacks

Not to mention the frozen yogurt topped with oreo's and caramel I just ate.

I've got to get in gear. All of this working out is WORTHLESS if I'm not willing to at least be a little bit better about WHAT and HOW MUCH I am eating.

Maybe I better get serious about the food journal again? What do you think?

Please tell me if you've tried the food journal or anything like that before.. I'm interested to see what works for you guys with your eating habits.

I also have an app on my phone that can track daily intake and calories. It also tracks your workout too. I just am ridiculous and don't use it. Fully knowing, it will help.

This is me.

Peace.

IF you're looking for......

If you're looking for a personal trainer that will give you ALL of the tools you need to be healthy and workout hard AND most of all be accountable for what you're doing (which I NEED).... (They're also now offering YOGA for only 5 bucks!)

check out Energy Explosion in Spanish Fork. (best part is the diet they give you, is LIVABLE!)

These guys changed my outlook on working out. They are so smart and have helped me a ton! I did things there I NEVER thought I could do!!

After a crazy day today.. I am going to NEED zumba tomorrow.

Who's with me?

COME... it's the best way to relieve stress!

Peace and LOVE my friends

Thanks for following me. I'm working on focusing on posting more. I just want to have a blog for people that are normal humans that aren't workout fanatics or diet-freaks. :) Even though some of my friends are that way, all respect to them. I've decided to have less self discipline. As for now. ha ha

SO, all of you ladies that don't have as much motivation as others. Hopefully I can help be an example of still taking care of yourself, loving yourself.

See you at zumba!

YAY for ME

After an awesome 4 day trip to Disneyland.....

I pulled into my driveway from our trip and then went straight to Zumba tonight with Rhonda.

Thankfully she's devoted :)

I am SO glad I just didnt even put thought into it and went. I find that if I get too much time to think about going sometimes, I just end up talking my self out of it. Spur of the moment is my friend.

WEEEEEEEE made up for all of the crap I ate this weekend. He He He!
