All last week I didn't gain anything but I didn't lose anything, I was so busy that I didn't get a chance to go to the gym. It was a hard week. I didn't realize how much going to the gym was helping me. Even my mood. I went to spin last night and I let out all the anger and frustration and stress of last week and it felt great!!!
Hopefully I can get to the gym tomorrow night, we will see how I feel, I woke up this morning and felt dead with a cold. hopefully an early night tonight will help as I am not going to my other job feeling like this and passing it on to clients who don't have the best immune systems anyways.
Oh also I came in 3rd for that challenge I was doing YAY!!!! Now I still have to keep up with drinking lots of water and not eating after 9.
I also need to get back to using the it works body wraps. Maybe tomorrow I don't think I should use them if I am feeling this crappy.

Day 21 and 22
Ah I give up trying to write everyday. I keep trying and I think of it then I get distracted.
Yesterday was a good day, I went to spin class which is always fun. Did you know you burn around 1500 calories in a spin class! crazy! I also ate pretty healthy other than the butter on my popcorn that I had last night.
I have started to add in cinnamon to my morning smoothies, sooo good. It is good to help kick start your materialism as well.
I have also downloaded some really cool apps on my phone that I love, one is a 7 minute work out app, they give you different workouts to do everyday. You can make it so it is longer than 7 mins as well. The other one I got is a Jillian Micheals one, it has a meal planner (for extra so I didn't do that), a journal, where you write in your exercise and what you eat and some exercises you can do at home. I love it, it makes you accountable for what you are eating. It also tells you how many carbs, calories, fat and protein and sugar you are taking in with what your eating.
I tried cucumber water yesterday and didn't like it, I think i put in to many cucumbers for my water bottle. So now i am back to lemon water :)

Day 13
Yesterday was a great day!
I went to spin and barre! (I wont be going back to barre though cause all the squatting hurt my back to much) Since I did that bubble soccer on Sunday my legs are like jelly now! Very proud of myself for doing two classes though.
Also yesterday I got 11 points for the challenge I am doing,
1 for eating 5 servings of veggies
2 for making my lunch and dinner
4 for drinking 4 liters of water
4 points for doing 2 hours of workout
0 because I had breakfast
0 because I talked to someone about non work related stuff for over 5 mins
0 because I had 3 solid meals
0 because I slept for over 5 hours
(these last 4 things are all things you should be doing so you get a minus point for not doing them)
0 because I didn't eat after 9 pm (that was a custom one I switched with pop since I am not drinking pop anyways) (if I did -1 point)
0 because I didn't have any fast food (if I did -1 point for each part of the meal ie fries, burger)
0 because I didn't have any sweets or treats ( If I did -1 point for each thing eaten)
0 because I didn't have over two alcoholic drinks
Today I am just really tired but its been a good day in the way of eating healthy, I did some workout during lunch and the group that I work with on Tuesdays nights is going to the track for our activity tonight Today I will only get 8 points cause I will only drink 3 liters of water and be doing an hour of workout all together

Days 9, 10, 11, 12
I am not used to writing on a blog everyday, hopefully I can get better.
The last few days have been great, and in the past 11 days I have lost 8 pounds! (What!!!!!)
I left my essential oil pills where I was house sitting so I just got them back today so I couldn't take them over the weekend but took one as soon as I got them.
I went to spin on the 10th and went to the track for an hour and went to bubble ball soccer on the 11th (bubble ball is this awesome thing where you are in this big blow up ball and you can do flips and stuff, we have a drop in game of soccer in them in Yellowknife and definitely going to have to go again, when you fall and have to get your self back up its so hard, my legs are so sore today :) ).
Today also marks the first day of a 21 day challenge I am doing that a friend is putting on. She makes this big spreed sheet and you get points for doing stuff like going to the gym or get points taken away if you drink pop or eat sweets.
I have also been doing my at home workouts but changing it up a bit, I do a verity of stuff from my original plan and the other challenge that I posted and also have been doing some arm work with weights because I do no weight training which is bad.
I also have been drinking water with lemon in it for the most part. I find my mouth gets mucus in it more when I have lemon water so I have regular water when I am working out or else I feel like I can't breath sometimes.
I am back at home now for a week and a half so before my next house sitting job so I eat pretty healthy at home because my mom makes sure the dinner is healthy and I have been making sure to have a good lunch. Still having an egg and toast for breakfast but I need to add back in my smoothie to take to work. It means I have to get up a few minutes earlier and I just love my sleep so much that it is hard.
I hope everyone is doing well with their new year resolutions.

Day 8
Today has been a good day, had breakfast, had a salad for lunch, going to go home and do my workout but skip the gym because I have to get all my stuff together because the person I have been house sitting for gets home tomorrow. I am going to make a wrap for dinner. I wish I had drank more water during the day than I did but I will try and make up for some of it this evening.

Day two
Day two is going good so far. I have drank so much water and I already did my workout on my lunch. For lunch today I had a chicken causer wrap and some roasted green beans and broccoli. I also drank two glasses of water with it.
The bad part about today is that my co-worker did buy my chips cause I hadn't had any yet this year (and didn't eat them all last year) I did stop myself before going to far though so I am proud of myself for that.
I just got invited to a family friends for dinner tonight so the quinoa and veggies will have to take a back seat tonight but they people place we are going to are pretty healthy so it should be pretty good.. (honestly I am ready for Monday when the holidays are done and everyone can get back to normal and not going to parties every night).
I am looking at different detox waters now, there is a few I want to try and keep seeing places. I will let you know what one I decide to go with first and if it works. I just don't want to be drinking regular water all the time.
Hope everyone is having a good new year so far

Day one
Today went well, I had my breakfast Of an egg and toast, I didn't have the smoothie cause I didn't wake up until 10:30 and then made enough quinoa and veggies for lunch today and dinner tomorrow. I had a dinner at a family friends house and they had food galor so I did eat a lot but tried to eat the more healthy stuff as much as possible.
I drank a ton of water, probably 3 litres which is good, I was doing that before the holidays so hopefully I can get back to that.
I also did my workout so I am happy about that :)

New Years Eve
So today is New Years eve. Not going to lie, I have a 710 ml bottle of ginger ale in front of me right now. Trying to drink all the pop I can before tomorrow. I am only at work for three hours so I did have a bunch of veggies as a lunch/snack thing though so that is good right?
Last night I made 31 of those essential oils pills I wrote about. I was finding it hard to add the oils in by adding two droppers, they would just get different amounts of oil in each time. So instead what I did was put thirty drops of each oil in to a little container (glass) and would use that as my mix of oils. It turned out great! I then put them in the freezer (remember to do this as if they aren't frozen the oils will eat through the plastic pill shell) I had one this morning and I didn't find that it made me feel ill like other pills have, so far so good.
I have to go grocery shopping again and this time I will have time to go to both grocery stores in town. The main one I got to was out of half the things on my grocery list so I still need some staples like frozen veggies and apples (I really only like the green apples). Oh life in the great white north, never know what the grocery stores are going to have.

Before I start
Hello everyone.
I am starting this blog in hopes that it will help me stay on track over the next year.
It is December 30th, and with that New Years is not far away and I have like every year thought of my resolutions. Last year I cut out chips and with great success I only had one small bowl one crazy day at work.
This year I decided to cut out pop! I drink a lot of it, I love it, I even have a soda stream to make my own!! It is going to be a tough thing to do but I believe I can do it!
Before the holidays started I was going to the gym 3-4 times a week, eating really healthy and even had lost 20 pounds! I was so excited. Then the holidays came, and I was too busy to go the the gym but still was eating pretty healthy. Then the treats came out and all that work I did before the holidays went down the hill. I still haven't looked on the scale out of fear..... I know i didn't gain the whole 20 pounds back but probably a lot of it.
So with that I decided I needed a boost in the new year. So I put together a workout plan and started a healthy menu.
I will post my menu up in a few minutes and a picture of my workout plan.
