Mom Came to visit lol!

We always love when my mom comes to visit. Now I know what your thinking," She didn't workout because mom came to visit." And you would be right. So I did not finish Joyce's 2ND day for lower body in her the complete weight training workout. BUT do not fear, I did do cardio by walking 3 miles throughout her visit. Which is better than nothing.
I have come to the conclusion that even though I absolutely love my mom completely, but when she comes to visit I have to start changing my frame of mind. I must start saying,"Ok mom I have to do my exercises now. I'll be through shortly." AND she loves sweets. She found out that the Hostess company is going out of business (who knew) so she walked through the front door with, can you guess? A big box of Hostess cupcakes! GRRRR! IT was very hard to resist. That being said, I am going to be more assertive with myself in the future when any relatives come to visit. This is my health I'm thinking of and I have to stay on tract no matter what. So in the future I am going to do just that, stay focused. And who knows maybe she will jump on the Joyce Vedral bandwagon.
Well I will get back with ya'll and let you know what direction I take from here. Definitely the lower body workout for sure.
Bye for now. Monianne

I told everyone that I would put up my measurements to show the difference before, during and after....well as the post above says MOM came to visit...nobody in their right mind would measure in front of their mom so I waited to do so. I will post them shortly. Hugs Monianne

Here are some ways I get in the mood to workout.

Tip 1#:

I always clean my workout area, i.e. sweep (Floor is wood) lol!

Tip 2#:

I always turn on Joyce's DVD while I'm preparing my workout space. Hearing her excitement to get in shape helps me to get excited as well.

Tip 3#:

I always make sure I have my favorite workout clothes on...seems weird but for me the smallest detail can change my mood....I'm moody huh!

Tip 4#:

Because of lack of oxygen running through my body and muscles I usually feel tired. So in order to get my energy back sometimes I will walk around the house 2 or 3 times and breath in and out.

Tip 5#:

Water for me is very important; so I always make sure I have my filtered water near me in a sports bottle so that I can have a quick grab of water during my sets with Joyce.

Tip 6#:

Our senses such as sight, hearing, and touch can spur us to do things we normally wouldn't do to change ourselves for the better. So pay attention to your surroundings in your workout area and always make sure it's the way you want even when you are not working. Sometimes I get aggravated if while doing work on the bench if I my vision is stifled because I can't see the form Joyce uses during each exercise. so then I have to re-adjust during the workout which I don't like. I pay attention when I'm not working out and if I noticed my bench as been bumped out of place by a passer by then I readjust it before I start to workout. Can't remember where it is suppose to go? Then put a small piece of tape on the floor to remember.

Tip 7#:

Workouts with Joyce are definitely beneficial every single time I do it. So I DO NOT SCREW UP WITH WHAT I PUT IN MY MOUTH! HUGE TIP HERE! If you workout with Joyce and then go eat anything you want to then all your doing is maintaining the fat body you currently have. You may not get smaller but you'll stay the same and that's NOT what I'm doing this for. I want my old self back so I definitely stick to my life plan...yes it must be a life plan, NOT a diet. If you'd like to know what I eat each day then check out my eating plan.

Joyce's Workout DVD I have so far!

The Cougar Workout! Boy did I get a hard time for that one.

What were you thinking Joyce! LOL!

The Complete Weight Training Series PLUS Workout 101

- This is what I'm starting with - the Workout 101.

The Complete Bottoms Up Plus Upper Body, Abs & Lower Body, & a substitute for excercise you hate + New- Customize your own workout!

AND finally the Complete fat burning workout Series PLUS the Bathing Suit Workout.

Now its time to get started.

1-12-12 latest news:

Today I purchased two of Joyce's diet plans. They are e-books and very easy to read. And affordable. Plus, I purchased one of her package deals where I get 8 DVD's in one order at a very reasonable price. The DVD I order is for getting into shape in a shorter period of time (by swimsuit season). I'm sure it's more intense. Once I have gotten use to the cougar workout then I plan on switching to this particular workout plan.

As of 1-22-12 measurements during my journey.

Bust 47" Now even when I am a 3 I have a large bust . They will go down in size as I loose weight but at some point they will be who they were meant to be...LOL! Reduction Please! LOL

Waist 42" My waist normally is usually 23" . Sometimes smaller.

So you can just imagine how much work I have BUT I have only been doing this for less than a month so it will get smaller.

Hips 51" Yep I'm short 5' 4" so even when I am a 3 to a 5 I have hips...lol

Thighs 26" Usually my thighs are 15"

Calves 17 1/2" this is the first time I have ever measured my calves so not sure what their normal diameters but I know they are smaller.

Note: You'll notice that in one of my post I lost an inch in my thigh. It went from a 26"'s to 25"'s...I gained the inch back because of the Hostess eruption in my house...SOOO self control is very important. And I am back on track and NOT going there again.

My daily eating plan..this is not a diet but a lifelong commitment.

Morning: 8:00 a.m.

1 egg white, 1 pear, an orange or banana or grapes, 1 tortilla, 1 20 oz. water, 1 decaf coffee, 1 tbl. pace picante sauce.

10:00 a.m.

1 water based fruit such as a pear, apple, 1 slice of cantaloupe, orange.

12:00p.m.

3 to 4 cups of vegetables- baked in the oven. ONLY!

1- 20 oz. water, 1- decaf coffee

3:00 p.m.

Another water based fruit. See list above.

5:00 p.m.

2 - 3 cups vegetables baked in the oven. ONLY!

This is my daily menu. Here are some helpful notes for you to know.

*To avoid feeling hungrier during the day eat an extra egg white or add 1 oz. of chicken to your breakfast.

*Also, if you have terrible cravings for sweets eat greens of any kind and it will immediately stop your need for sweets in fact you won't want them.

*Buying fresh veggies can be expensive so to cut cost I buy flash frozen bags of assorted vegetables from the Jolly Green giant Co. or Birdseye. They are just as fresh as the day they are pick because of the flash freezing.

*I try to drink 72 oz. of water a day. This flushes out toxins and fat from the body.

If you seem to have a hard time with it then just get a big gulp and put fresh cold water in it and sip it all day...and NO COLAS!
