Day 29 & 30: 4 weeks down

Yesterday marked 4 weeks since I started my journey. I wanted to share my measurements with you. This time I only saw changes in my arms, legs, and bust rather than my hips and waist. My progress is slow but I will get there. I did however feel very sick today. It had to do with my stomach issues again but I'm not sure what caused it. 

I had Subway for lunch and after that I felt sick all day. I am not sure what happened but my stomach was hurting so bad. I didn't even have any dinner that is how bad I felt. (Booooooo)

I took the boys on a walk this morning to get some kind of work out. I also had to go to my work at the mall so I got some walking done there too. Sometimes I feel I should be doing exercises at home, but every time I think about doing them, I feel like I should be doing something else like the dishes. I don't know, maybe it's just me who feels this way. 


I had a little time for myself that night so I did a facial mask, shaved, and did my toes. It was nice that the boys were out of the house and I can get my Zen back. 

Today, however, I had to go to a clients house early this morning and then had to drive up to my parents 2 hours away for a family reunion. Needless to say, my diet went out the window. I even forgot to eat breakfast (BAD GIRL). I got up at 5 am and drove there and back and we barely just got back so I just wanted to say that I love my results and I've just got to keep on going. Thank you all for the love and support you have given me. It means a lot when my progress is recognized.  

Day 28

Thursday was my house cleaning day. I was supposed to go to personal training for the third day this week but the little guy wasn't feeling too hot so I decided to stay home with him while dad slept before work. It was an eventful day considering we just stayed home. I worked my butt off trying to go through things. Right now the babies room looks like a tornado hit it. 

Anyways, because I was more worried about the little guy than myself today, my meals weren't that great. For breakfast I had my Honey Bunches of Oats like I have been doing, but I ran out of Almond milk so I had to use 1% today. For lunch I made turkey roll ups. I totally forgot to post a pic put I just took turkey lunch meat and rolled up some soft mozzarella in them. I also had a peach in between. For dinner, I had mad spaghetti for the man of the house and I didn't have alternative for noodles so I put maybe a cup in a bowl and put some olive oil and basil. Then I added tomato and feta to it. It was quite tasty actually. I still have yet to try spaghetti squash so I will have to put that on my to-do list this next week for sure. 

Day 27

Wednesday I did had cereal for breakfast and then I made myself a caprese and avocado salad for lunch. I put soft mozzarella, tomato, and avocado with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It was so yummy. For dinner I wanted to make something different. I had gotten some pork chops and put them in the oven and made mashed potatoes and mixed veggies with it. I barely had half a cup of potatoes because I didn't want all those carbs. I did snack on berries when I got hungry in between. 


I didn't have personal training and I didn't make it to Mommy and Me classes either. The little one is a handful as it is so I'm constantly running after him. When the man of the house got home that night he wanted to go on a family run. I thought it was a great idea and we went on a little jog around the block. It felt good to run and to get more family time in. I think we should do this more often. 

Day 26

Tuesday, I had personal training again. My abs were a little soar but I we worked on arms mostly. I benched 95lbs which was the most I have ever done before. The trainers were amazed because the most they have seen was 165lbs from a woman. I guess I am one strong mamma! For breakfast I broke down and had an egg sandwich with an English muffin and ham. Lunch I brought a salad to work with feta, cucumbers, and avocado. For dinner me and the man decided to go out and we chose Chipotle and I got a salad with brown rice, chicken, a little sour cream, cheese, and guacamole. I had missed Chipotle because it is so good. I feel really good by eating good. I think that the personal training is very beneficial and I love it. Stay healthy ya'll!

Getting Rid of the Stuff

I cannot express enough on how therapeutic it is to get rid of things. I am in the process of de-cluttering my life and the one thing that was driving me crazy was my clothes. My closet and drawers would be over flowing but nothing would fit me. When I got pregnant, I decided I would get maternity clothes (obviously) but I didn't want to get rid of anything for when I lost the baby weight. In return, I collected clothes of all sizes and it has just been very hard on my self esteem to try on clothes that I want to wear but they don't fit. 

Yesterday I took the time to go through these clothes and get rid of anything that was too small or too big. I would rather be comfortable than self conscious. I got rid of 2 bags to Goodwill and 2 more to my nieces. 

Let me tell ya, it felt pretty Damn good! I know I will be getting rid of more as I keep loosing but it's a great start and my closet isn't so cluttered anymore. I did see something on Pinterest about de-cluttering your house in 52 weeks. I might have to give that a try. Sounds like a project I am willing to take on. Let's de-clutter together! 

Day 25

So Monday was day 25, I had personal training and we did a lot of abs. She also told me that on a daily basis I need to tuck in my tummy to strengthen it. It makes sense if you think about sucking it in and holding your breath.


I'm trying to be religious about my water intake. I think I'm going to make the Gallon jug to do the gallon challenge because I am not doing so good with just cups.

For breakfast I had cereal. For lunch I had a Bah Mei salad from Boudin because I was at work and forgot to pack a lunch. I just had a little and my co worker had the rest. It had noodles and chicken in it. For dinner I had green beans and chicken.

I am working on a workout routine for home. My personal trainer gave me one so I'm going to try it. I also thought of just looking at Pinterest and doing workouts people post. I would love to do more videos for you guys but I had a hard time posting the last one. If you guys have any video suggestions please let me know. 

Day 21, 22, 23, & 24 (weekend of beauty)

I WILL GET A HOLD OF THIS I PROMISE! So I did pretty good until this weekend I had a hamburger and pizza. We were with friends and family so it was inevitable. But other than that, it was chicken and salad and veggies for me. I am slacking on pictures and I am sorry but I will be more thorough in the future I promise. If you any of you have any questions please let me know. 

I also had a mini beauty weekend and I got to use my foot detox machine. I have lots of info on this because I used to offer this in the salon that I work at. It is a great way to get toxins out of your body. 

Basically, there is a part that goes into the water and a part that is on your wrist and it sends a current through your body to push the toxins out of your feet. Yes this might be gross for some to look at. The more you do this detox, the more the water will get clearer and clearer. Below is a chart to show what the color of the water means and what organ the toxins are mostly coming from. Mine started reddish and by the end it had turned kind of dark greenish black which it says gallbladder and liver. Seeing as how I don't have a gallbladder I know the same toxins are going elsewhere in my body. 

I also did a hair masque which is really important for my frizzy hair with this California weather right now. I use the Moroccanoil Repair Masque and I left it in my hair while I did house work and watched my son. Deep conditioning treatments are very beneficial because they hydrate the hair and the conditioning lasts for 4-6 washes. I like to recommend this to all my clients because even if you have thin hair it will help your hair not brake in the long run. 

I only went to Personal Training 1 day last week and I totally felt the difference. I just feel like I failed this week and need to do better this week for sure. Let me know if you have any questions about detox or deep conditioning. Thanks for the support!
