Starting today, lets try to drink 8 oz of water before every meal or snack. No excuses!
I saw on pinterest that Bob Harper from biggest loser says to do this to be skinny.

Breakfast Muffins: found on my pinterest

Breakfast Muffins: found on my pinterest
pour egg into a greased cupcake pan, then add toppings like - mushrooms, veggies, and meat, turkey used here. bake them in the oven at 375-degrees for 30 minutes and let them cool, pop them into plastic bags so that you can grab them easily in the morning.
--I took these to work with me all week. Great Idea!
Dinner: found on my pinterest. My husband made this for me and our best friends and everyone fell in love with it! We used chipolte red pepper hummus to give it a kick. Yum!
Workout:
During your weight days, try to insert some cardio in to shed the pounds. For example, my trainer gave me an upper body workout. I do two moves (3sets) then do sprints, then two different moves (then run suicides on the stairs) then finish up with two moves. It is hard but you feel so good afterwards. I can really tell the difference in just one week!
Okay--I'll keep you updated with any new workouts or recipes I try.

Love yourself
Hello guys! Sorry it has been so long. I have been so busy with my two little angels and I do not have time to sit down for a second to post. I apologize. I miss my blog.
I wanted to let you guys know that I did not meet my goal of 16%. However, I don't think I want to meet it. I have had a realization lately which I will get to in a second.
However I am in my old pants before I got pregnant!!! I am so thrilled. It feels so good. And I also feel good about myself. I feel confident again.
Now back to the 16%.....I kept having my family and a few friends tell me that I was too skinny. I didn't like hearing that because as I have mentioned, my goal isn't to just be skinny. I want to be fit. However I realized that when I was at 15%, my lowest that I didn't have any curves. I was looking extremely fit and I am so proud of my discipline, however I wasn't looking as feminine as I think I want to look now.
I work out for ME and only me. But I also wanted an opinion from my best friend, my husband. I told him about a month ago, I am at 19% and was my lowest at 15%. Where do you find me most attractive? He first said, exactly what I wanted to hear. Good Job Hubby! "I like you the way you are right now." But then after I bugged him for a while he said around the 18%. This actually made me feel good. I will probably still try to do at least 17.5. But if I can fit into my clothes, feel great, and have my husband loving my look at a higher percentage, then I think I will stay away from the 15-16 percent for now.
One thing I have been working on so far in 2013 is the ability to love myself. Right now my legs are the biggest part on my body and I am working hard to shred the weight on them so my pants aren't as tight. But I thank God every day. Thanks for my ability to work out! Thanks for letting me fit back into my pants! Thanks for letting me stay motivated. Thanks for teaching me confidence. So, my message today is work hard! But love yourself while you are doing it! Stop for a second and be appreciative of the small victories and not so much on perfection.
15 weeks since my second baby girl was born and I am happy with my body! Go me! Go us! How is everyone holding up?
I read on pinterest: It takes 4 weeks for you to see a difference, 8 weeks for your friends and family to see a difference and 12 weeks for the world to see. ------Show the world what you can do!
Special Shout out to my friend Kelly for losing 6.6 lbs at weight watchers in one week. I am so proud of her.
