WED~Breakfast~ Choc. MRS
Lunch ~ Famous Dave's pulled pork with blackberry BBQ sauce/ chopped veggies & lettuce wraps. (leftovers for lunch tomorrow)
Late afternoon snack~ 2 sips of Curves vanilla protein shake... tasted like ~ivory liquid soap :P I stopped as I knew I had a very small peach to eat instead.
3 Catalyst~
30 min ZIC & 1 hour of Zumba Toning. No one was there for the Zumba hour afterwards. It was fine with me as I've had painful horrible female issues Wed. & Thurs. THANK goodness for Nighttime Recovery or I wouldn't be able to sleep either! Rapidly reminded of why i'd been on something the past 14 years to prevent such pain & agony from occurring.
Grocery shopping at Woodman's
pre-dinner snack 8:45pm~ 7 seasalt & vinegar almonds & 3 spinach/artichoke kettle potato chips. TOTALLY craving seasalt & vinegar (my DUH craving) I think I stuffed a small amount of something else in my mouth but I don't remember... & possibly not too. which is why I should diary daily.
Dang cravings... really?
9pm Dinner~ some leftover chicken helper & the zucchini casserole. Blackberries & strawberries for dessert & 1.5c. Dark choc. almond milk
Bedtime~ 1c. real apple juice w/ L-glutamine & Nighttime recovery
Thurs~ MRS vanilla with mango smoothie mixer additive & pineapple (pre-made which was only purchased as it was not something I'd buy unless on mega clearance) I wasn't that impressed either with it.
Lunch~ Leftover lettuce wrap/pork
Afternoon snack ~ Greek peach yogurt & blueberry/blackberries
3 Catalyst Zumba 1 hour subbing Rehydrate
Late afternoon snack 7:45pm~ Oreo filling Coldstone ice cream (SMALL) &  NO mix ins... Ok so I wouldn't have stopped but Sprint had a lot of people waiting & I have been putting off getting a bluetooth & really need one & the guy said I could come back in 15 min. & he'd help me out. Was sick of buying a new headset every year. The wire keeps breaking up & then I can't hear anyone on the other line. Not cool. We'll see how I like it. not sure how I can shut it off but I'll figure that out tomorrow....
Dinner 9pm~ Fresh trout 1.5 servings. 1.5c. dark choc. almond milk. 1c. Zucchini casserole, 1 corn on the cob ear with some butter (yes, the real stuff) & seasoning salt & pepper. stuffed.
Bedtime~ .75c. real apple juice & L-glutamine & Night time Recovery (why because I know that horrible ibuf has been rotting my gut the past few days) I REALLY hope that these horrible cramps go away any day now.... they're ruining my AdvoCare bliss.
  At least nighttime recovery works VERY well on cramps just an FYI. Only problem is that you take it... yes, you guessed it at night.

Tuesday 5/24~ "e" is for Doubl"e" workout s"e"ssions

Breakfast~ Choc. MRS
30 min.~ Zumba Workout!
Lunch~ Chicken breast & 1.5c taco seasoned brown rice
Lo & behold the granite counter of goodness actually had something on it that my will power couldn't muster to reject... I had 2 mini choc petite cakes made by the Fran Skemp bakery... These my friends are the solid gold of yummies. I wanted a 3rd but felt my stomach going WTH after I'd had 2 split apart & felt like if I attempted a 3rd that would have sent the AdvoCare food police on me.
5:30pm ~30 min. Zumba in the Circuit.
Dinner~ Leftovers from Bamboo house (split with hubby & a side of the zucchini casserole)

Friday-Mon. brief overview

Ok, so now that it's summer i'm going to cut back as I'll be out doing gardening on top of my regular Zumba schedule... Looking to possibly do a 3 week session in June but not sure yet of the location. Been eating pretty good & making good decisions most of the time. Not down at all this week on the scale, but that's not as important as I'm within 12 lbs. of goal weight & did have an inches lost instead this week as my "fat pants" were a 7/8 Jr's. Mother nature get meaner too when you get closer to your ideal weight it seems. Solidly into a size 6 so I'm ok with that... or at least for the next 3 days ok with it. Not that I have any choice in the matter.
     I'm fairly certain I have not yet hit a plateau & need to start taking a look again at caloric intake. because it's the only thing left I really can do to continue to reduce my size. What stinks is that I haven't got a whole lot of play there even with my activity level. I mean seriously I can't go under 1,200 calories with my workouts or I'll pass out or something.... or at least feel like it. I can't exercise all that much more either or my body is going to just revolt or something there too. Is a size 2 too much to ask?
       What also stinks is the fact that now I've gotten a taste of being normal sized again, I still want to go back to my HS weight/size. :P

Thursday~ "e" is for day off gard"e"ning

Day off: briefly put 9 hours of gardening. LOTS of water all day.
1 choc. MRS & added coconut milk 50/50 with water for breakfast & lunch (same MRS 1 total for both meals I wasn't very hungry for breakfast). If just coconut it thickens too much & forms pudding. :) which is also equally Yummy!
spread thru the day with appropriate timings: 1 serving Rehydrate, 2 Mass Impact, 4 Catalyst, 3 Seasonal Support, my "e" vitamins, 1 calcium, 1 extra fish oil, Amplify AT & .5 scoop of Spark, 3 ThermoPlus (recently read you can have up to 5 a day of these if desired).
Snack~ hummus & a few chips. 1c. orange juice
Dinner~1 chicken breast w/ seasoning & chipotle blackberry marinade, zucchini, a baked potato with sour cream & buttery spread, 1 peppermint generic Oreo cookie & 2 small caramel bunnies. Not to mention 1.5c. dark choc. almond milk. Please remember I did 9 hours of manual labor I think I deserved the cookie & 2 choc. bunnies.
Bedtime~2 nightime recoveries L-glutamine with 1c. Oj (it's going to go bad if I don't which is the only reason why i'm having a lot lately of it).

WED 5/18~"e" is for "e"xtra Zumba

Breakfast~ Choc. MRS & some fruit punch Rehydrate & then switching to water... it was leftover from last night so I wanted to finish it off.
Lunch~ Crudbutt... I forgot my  additional before & with lunch pills of, ThermoPlus, Amplify AT, Omegaplex & Calcium Plus. I'll have to get those with dinner tonight instead. I did have my "e" lunch pills which were with me. Lunch was 5 pieces of philly/salmon roll sushi, 1 salmon/avocado & 6 of tuna/avocado & hot & sour soup. STUFFED... I should have taken at LEAST 3 pieces home... or better yet won't be ordering 2 choices & will just go with 1 next time.
2:45pm~ ate apple in fridge, not because I was hungry but.... Oh crap.... I'm comfort eating... Going to have some more water or something. Stressful day at work just hurry up & waiting I really dislike. At least it rained which is why I'd wanted off in the 1st place to get gardening done.
Zumba in the Circuit 30 min. Zumba Toning 1 hour
Late Snack~ a few chips & olive hummus
Dinner~ will be my "smaller meal" Cheese burger in a wheat thin wrap flatbread & salad with 5 small green olives & 1 cup of dark choc. almond milk.

Tues 5/17 "e" is for Gard"e"ning again

Breakfast~Choc. MRS .5 scoop grape Spark (finished around noon)
Zumba toning~ 30 min.~ Catalyst right afterwards (I forgot)
Lunch~spinach wrap (see Monday lunch) & organic applesauce
3:30pm Snack~ Banana
Catalyst ~10 min. before ~Zumba in the Circuit 30 min.
~ Mass Impact before ~ & Rehydrate during & after

Dinner~ 2c. seafood mix (muscles, squid, shrimp, etc.) with rice noodles, frozen pear tomatoes & seaweed with healthy sauce packet (little high on the sodium but could be WAY worse.) 2c. 70/20 Vanilla/Dark Choc. almond milk & 1 serving of choc. caramel warm cake bowl. (I split it with hubby so it wasn't 2 servings)
Bedtime~ .75c. orange juice with L-glutamine

Monday~ 5/16 "e" is for more gard"e"ning

Ok, so I'm not sure why I had to be to work today instead of home with the hubby... lots of projects that just aren't getting approved or something.

Breakfast~ Choc. MRS made with vanilla coconut milk & water. (it REALLY thickened up) I normally wouldn't be using anything but water but the coconut milk has a date on it & hubby isn't wild about it either.
Lunch~ Spinach wrap with vegan ham, rice cheese & 1TBS. horseradish bacon sour cream spread, organic apple sauce & choc. Oikos organic Greek yogurt 4 oz.
If you haven't noticed there's a lot more organic food recently in my diet. I'm sure you're all wondering why the sudden change. Since AdvoCare has assisted in helping me lose more weight guess what...
eating less = less grocery bills = ability to spend more money on better quality food.
Our grocery bills have been cut almost in 1/2 by not having to buy all kinds of food & more of it as previously used by my body. I'm more satisfied with less & even more satisfied with healthier higher quality food.
Kind of like good quality dog food. Good quality food = less poop as more nutrients are being used.
1pm-4pm~ Drinking .5 scoop of Spark still.... better get on the ball with my water quota for the day. Just not thirsty much today...
Late Afternoon snack~ 1 piece of chocolate & 2 choc. dipped pretzels

Weather people lied so I didn't attend a Zumba class which I was going to do if it was raining. Instead I planted, dug & did 2 hours of gardening.  Quite the workout.

Monday~ "e" is for pamp"e"ring & r"e"pairing

Spa night! What a great day it's going to be, I was thinking leaving early for work to not have to rush since they're doing construction on the road. (no road closures posted on Friday were a good thing you'd think, right?) well they should have... this is what happened. ALL I have to say is they'd better pay for it. It's their fault they didn't close the road & have flag people directing where they should drive on the 2 lane highway!

RE: Incident on County Road V 8:25am Monday 5/9/11

Was driving down the road & saw the sign that said 1 lane road ahead. Was already driving 20 MPH (below recommended 35mph posted signs) Slowed down to about 15mph as I saw a gravel pile (strip) in the middle of my southbound lane extending down the middle of the road approx 3-5” high. The pile continued on up toward the hill & very rapidly increased to approx 10-12” deep in the middle of the southbound lane. My car had straddled this strip putting me in the middle of my lane in anticipation that it would remain about 3-5” high. I pulled out into the oncoming traffic lane as I could see the pile was getting even deeper & carefully pulled out into the oncoming lane.

  I drove thru it, my car continuing to be bottoming out & FINALLY approached the work vehicles that were stopped in the middle of the northbound lane a good .25 mile after I had my car hitting the deep pile & then getting out of it.

I rolled down my window & told the guy that my car was bottoming out & said I didn’t think I could get back over the rut I also asked him if the road was closed up ahead or if there was more gravel that deep. He said to stay on the far side of my lane & there should be room. He kicked down the pile so I could drive back over it to get back into the lane I should have been in. The rest of the drive was VERY narrow at points but I was at least able to stay out of the gravel I continued to drive very slowly as I fear the damage to my car had already occurred.

 There should have been signs posted over the weekend that they were going to be working on the road & sticking obstructions that high into the lanes & on the road during this time. I would have taken a different route into Holmen.

      My car is now making horrible noises while in idle & sounds even worse when put into reverse. I’m now taking my car in for an estimate which will cost me $30-$60 since this wasn’t an issue before this morning & is now a huge concern as I fear something might have happened that could be very serious, since it sounds that bad. I’m VERY disappointed that residents weren’t warned sooner that the road would be impassible or that there wasn’t flag people further back before the obstruction was too deep in the middle of the lane saying to keep right, or something. ROAD CLOSED would have been appropriate…. Since now I have to take the time to get my car fixed due to my AM commute & figure out how to get everywhere for at least a few days.

 I would NEVER have driven my car in the lane or have driven it thru that deep of gravel had I known that there would have been that kind of obstruction in the middle of the southbound lane.

OK, so I get to rant since I was WIDE awake thankfully when this happened.

• Breakfast~ Choc. MRS

• Lunch~ Pad Thai meal in a box. 33% sodium... :P but only 330 calories so it could have been worse. No HFCS & were rice noodles so not a terrible choice & it wasn't like I'd purchased it recently so it had to get eaten at some point in time.
• Dinner~ 1 venison steak, 2c. fresh/frozen zucchini, 1Tbs. fresh/frozen pumpkin, 3 choc PB bunnies

Weekend 5/7 & 5/8 "e" is for gard"e"ning

Saturday~ 7:30, 8:30 & 9:30 30 min Zumba in the circuit sessions MRS at 8am. 11am Zumba toning hour. Did 2-3 hours of gardening & chores. 2 turkey cheddar franks on a wheat bun & a few fries baked in toaster oven. Dinner was ? oh crap... really I can't remember 2 days ago. I've been trying very hard to put less emphasis on food & now I can't remember other than it was a good healthy choice & portion of food.
Sunday~Breakfast~ 1c. lucky charms & almond milk (I know... but you know what? I didn't like them & missed my choc. MRS...)
Lunch Cheeseburger on wheat bun & fresh real guac. with organic Boulder brand spinach/artichoke chips (pretty much the only chip I'll eat & are only like a special treat when on sale).
I spent pretty much the whole day gardening & rototilling. This is not to be taken lightly as a day off. Had Mass Impact prior & Rehydrate & lots of water during) since our $700 (paid for by AdvoCare checks) is just as demanding of a workout if not more than any weightlifting or Zumba or anything. It was wrangling the beast of a tiller thru the toughest hardest clay type soil you can imagine. It's only the 2nd time the ground has been broken & our 4 gardens are HUGE we're talking 10'x10' to 50'x20' in size. My hubby & I even took turns tag teaming to get all 4 gardens tilled. Not to mention I hoed like 3 rows & got some stuff planted yesterday too! Radishes, lettuce (2 varieties), 3 onion varieties, zucchini & carrots (2 varieties). I have more that needs to be planted but will have to wait for the next dry day. (not supposed to happen for another 5 days again) I also did some other manual labor around too. I had so much energy & I felt great. That would have just wiped me out & then some anytime in the past 5 years or more.
 Mothers day dinner. VERY healthy! MIL is on the challenge & is losing weight & inches! Chicken with BBQ seasoning, venison, organic potatoes & carrots, frozen/fresh pumpkin with pumpkin pie spices on it (no buttery spread or anything) 1c. choc/vanilla almond milk... I ran out so it was a mixture. Swig of Coors Light (yup, still didn't taste good) & 1 PB bunny after MIL left. .5c. Trop50 with 2 nighttime recoveries & L-glutamine (both were needed as I was more sore going to bed & knew I didn't want to feel that way in the AM & I didn't).

Fri. 5/6~ "e" is for R"e"ving up for the weekend

• Breakfast~ Choc. MRS & .25 pink lemonade Spark

OK, I didn't sleep super hot last night. Mostly because I was hot & then I swear I'm the only person who can hear the water softener cycling in the middle of the night which made me have to go. It's ok I still feel GREAT this AM!

• Lunch~ remainder of small portion of chicken (we're not even talking a 1/2 serving here), 2 servings of corn with "buttery" sauce & 1 serving of golden delicious dehydrated apple chips.

Stupid dress shoes... I hate wearing them sometimes. I bit it on the parking lot steps walking today going out to determine what kind of vinyl is on a glass panel & then fell full out as I wasn't expecting my shoe to just flop off like worse than flip flops.  It's ok as I'm not hurt. My co-worker was pretty concerned but I said I was fine right away. All of those hockey falls teach you something. Got a small scuff on my 1 knee but nothing hurts. Was wearing jeans so very happy for that. FYI my shoe size decreased & most of my size 7's don't fit. Who would have thought that my feet lost weight?

• Snack~ 3:20pm Med. banana
•Dinner~ I actually can't remember. Weekends are going to be super busy this summer it seems between gardening & such. I did eat healthy

THU~ "e" is for R"e"v Abs Day 2

Ok so this AM I'm like 30 min of ZIC & I really should do day 2 of Rev Abs (& I'm sure I'll suck it up & do it)... Ok my butt still hurts getting into the car. We're not talking my butt muscles.. Heck no, I've got buns o' steel I'm talking about my tender tail bone. It's like I fell on my butt on ice or something. Apparently, the hinder has gone soft from all of the Zumba & not getting down on a mat & I'm paying for it now. I never thought my pectorals & butt would ache so much doing a "Abs" oriented workouts. My abs... not so much, my lower has a little ache only when moved. Quads & upper abs are like PHFFTT, WHATEVER... I didn't notice anything.... workout what workout?

• Breakfast~ 9:40am Choc. MRS & .25 pink lemonade spark at 10:45am (finished around 12:30pm) I'd been noticing that I've only been having .25 of a scoop not even .5
• Lunch~ remainder part of of skin removed chicken, 1 bun with small partial pat of margarine, 2  serving of white/yellow sweet corn with herbs. I got full as I ate the chicken last. Still part remaining & wasn't even a card deck size of meat eaten off of it.
• 3 Catalyst 15 min prior to 30 min ZIC
• 1 O2 ~1 hour prior, Mass Impact~ 35 min prior, 45 min Rev Abs day 2, 2 servings of Rehydrate, 1 Tsp. L-Glutamine afterwards mixed into remaining Rehydrate. Walked dogs some in there too.
• Dinner~1.5 c. of leftover pasta/raviolis & 5 medallion coin sized breaded vegan eggplant Parmesan bites, water &.... I don't know what possessed me but had some of the sugar dried fruit & dehydrated sugar apples. Not to mention 4 small PB choc bunnies... That was 2 bunnies too many. I shrugged it off but hubby was correct. Was a bit of overkill even if I did workout extra.
• Bedtime~ .75 C. Trop 50 with 2 nighttime recoveries & 1 Tsp. L-Glutamine again.

Wed 5/4~ "e" is for Tripl"e" Zumba

Morning~ok so after the abnormal workout of pushups, crunches, booty bridges (love that exercise & that's not sarcastic) & more I am surprisingly hardly touched with anything sore at all thanks to nighttime recovery. My tailbone however is a mildly different story. Stupid butt bone from laying on the carpet & padding (even with a yoga mat too is still tender) it's ok though as Day 2 won't happen until at least Thursday. Make way for 30 min of ZIC, 1 hour of ZT & 1 hour of Zumba.... none of which involve getting my booty on the floor.
Breakfast ~ 6oz. Greek Yoplait peach yogurt.
Lunch~ super early as expected Chicken Q. Roasted chicken 1/2! I only ate a thigh & drumstick. Scraped all of the skin off of the rest & had the small amount of baked beans & potato salad for lunch. A small apple later for dessert.
Snack ~ 1 mini choc. chip KT cookie... why 1 because it tasted like not good. I was very disappointed & yet pleased at the same time. I won't be doing it again since it didn't taste good to me anyways.
Late snack at 3pm~ part of a small banana (it had some brown spots I didn't eat on it.)
4:32pm 1 O2® for raising my oxegen levels 1.5 hours of Zumba tonight (no one for my shed Zumba at 7:15pm tonight) :( My late night ladies came at 6:15pm instead, so at least it's not me . Going to try out Mass Impact® (AdvoCare product) too starting at 5pm! Whoo Hoo is that going to be fun. Starting on getting ripped going on tonight! I'm ok with that & the new scale at Curves in Holmen that confirmed I was down to 134.2! Not that it's an official weigh in day or time, but hey I'll take it. I'm sure it will continue to trend towards removing my crease line where handles used to be since I will stay on the trim line products thru beginning of June.
pre dinner snack 8pm~ 5 dried caramel apple dehydrated chips & 1/4 cup of dried mango, pineapple, papaya slices. (all of which were FAR too yummy to have been healthy which is why I just got a partial serving)
Dinner 9:20pm~ 1.5c. wheat pasta & tortellini with smoked cheese in it (not much stuffing but enough to flavor it) pesto & olive oil "sauce" more of a drizzle if you call it that, I can't wait for fresh basil & fresh parsley pesto, 1c. dark choc milk. 2 small. choc pb bunnies. I knew I shouldn't have weighed myself.... Seems I get cocky & then don't lose anything on Thurs. or Fri. when I do that.
I'll have to check my ego at the door & stay on task to make sure I see 133 on Saturday AM.
bedtime~ .5 Trop50 with L-glutamine & 2 nighttime recoveries. Thru the day I was pretty good. Butt is a bit sore tonight & my pecs from all the pushups too but that didn't happen to start aching until I started using them during Zumba. I had a little bit of a lower abs ache when I was working out as well but nothing unmanageable.

Tuesday~ "e" is for Tripl"e" workout s"e"ssions & R"e"v Abs

Special tip of the day~ Working out 30 min. 2 times a day is VERY & MORE effective to keep your metabolism up thru the entire day rather than ramping it up only once for an hour during the day.

Breakfast~Vanilla MRS.... feeling kinda screwed outta my Choc. MRS but hey, I can always do that tomorrow & sometimes change is good. .25 scoop pink lemonade Spark.
Teaching Zumba 30 min. at the gym 3 blocks down from work.
Lunch 1:45pm~ veggie burger (southwest style) on small wheat on half of a mini loaf of sub bread...cheese... oh well it made it taste so yummy. 6 oz. Greek honey vanilla yogurt.. full.
Snack~ 3:45pm a small green apple.
ZIC~ 30 min. Curves
Ok, so I got home & still had too much energy. Went for a brisk 15 min. walk with the dogs (it was their 2nd of the day & they weren't thrilled about it) & hubby too & then he was like I'm tired but you seem to still have so much energy. So I popped in the RevAbs Day 1 DVD's & startup DVD. It was pretty cool to see that they had Brazil martial arts incorporated into some of the moves. Some of them looked very similar to Zumba moves too. So I did a little over an hour of strength training focusing on entire body & mostly on abs also. Most I did was full out but I did some of the modifications... I've never been a 3 sets of 16 pushups kind of person or neck cranking for regular situps. It was pretty intense but do-able (especially when some of the modifications were done & I didn't add all of the "spice" in the 3rd set of reps. Not because I was tired but I didn't want to mess up my 2.5lb. Zumba Toning weights. When I do it again I'll get the dumbells from downstairs. Stupid DVD player in the workout room still won't work with the new larger TV correctly. VHS works but not the DVD player visual. :P Being a new set I need the visual for awhile until I just need the verbal.
Dinner~ 1 serving of rare steak, 1.5c. fresh/frozen pumpkin with pie spices on it,  1 serving Trader Joe's grilled marinated eggplant/zucchini. 2~1" dark choc with seasalt squares. (personally I would have eaten the whole bar I swear, but it was already a partial opened bar & shared with hubby to make the excuse to myself that there wasn't any more. No almond milk tonight, lots of water though.
.5c. of Trop. 50 juice (new container) & my 1 Tbs. of L-glutamine & 2 nighttime recovery pills. 

Monday~ "e" is for "e"verything

Breakfast~ 10am not kidding got busy & kept forgetting to drink my MRS or even mix it until then. .5 pink lemonade Spark. (I didn't have any over the weekend) Didn't have any headaches or caffeine withdrawl or anything. Didn't miss it much being on "e" I have noticed that it practically takes the need for Spark out of my system too.
Lunch 1pm (stomach hit snooze)~ 1 HB egg, I LOVE eggs. Lettuce w/ Italian & BB Greek Yogurt 6oz.
Snack 2:45pm~ 1 med. banana
5:15pm WoW what an insanely busy day. :P Got lots done but used the energy that I needed.
Wrapped it up with a haircut from my friend Georgia. She's so awesome, funny & much more personable & not rushed when cutting my hair. Usually she leaves it too long & then recuts it shorter. She got it on the 1st time tonight! Short & just the way I want to keep it easy for Zumba & showering quickly. Got to get it bleached again but that's a longer night.
Dinner 8:20pm~ Veggie burger with cheese (yes the real stuff tonight) K & M on a wheat bread/sub 1/2 of one (no buns in the house) 1c. choc chai rice milk. 1 serving of frozen/fresh zucchini, 1c. frozen/fresh pumpkin. (very small amount of butter on both) 1 scoop BB/pomagranate frozen yogurt & 1Tbs. hot fudge.... wait I'm not done yet, I think I'm going to activate the food cops tonight. 1~1" square of dark choc. perhaps not. No Zumba tonight. :(

Is it wrong that I found the perfect fancy dress in a girls size 16 & it fit to wear to my cousin's wedding? I'm going to use the other size 6 dress for the brunch the next day instead... It wasn't quite fancy enough for the wedding setting I think but would work beautifully for brunch. :) all set to go & even if more shrinkage should occur nothing will fall off so I think I'm all set!
Snack~ 6 pretzels
Dinner~ 1 venison steak, .75c. pumpkin, 2c. shredded zucchini,1.5c. of dark choc. almond milk, 2~1" squares of dark chocolate with sea salt.
