Moving it Mondays!

Well today in my book...TOTAL AWESOMENESS! 

Downtown L.A. Stairs

Eating was not great..but I did something today that I absolutely hate doing...stairs! Back 4 years ago, I used to be forced into walking stairs in downtown L.A. It was something I really despised. Today I said, I am getting on those stairs and I will do 4 rounds. I completed those 4 rounds today. And in all honesty, it was a challenge but doable!

I had another session today on the Turbo Sonic machine.  My session time seems to go by so fast.  I am still enjoying it though.  Today I felt my blood flowing.  It is wierd to explain but I felt like I could feel the blood moving in my vessels! 



So here's the eating (the good, bad, & the worse) for the day:

Breakfast:
     4 scrambled eggs
      apple

Mid AM Snack
     Strawberries

Lunch
     2 chicken Breast
     Corn on the Cobb
     Mac N Cheese

Mid Afternoon Snack
     can of Pepsi
     snack back of Cheddar & Sour Cream Chips

Dinner
2 slices of Pizza (1 vegeterian & 1 pepperoni)

Workouts

1. Downtown Stairs - 4 rounds http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/p5R55iPmNFY
2. 45 minute Walk - almost 3 miles in Downtown Los Angeles  http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/p5R55iPmNFY

This day would have been a win win if I did better on my eating.  But I am still proud of me doing the stairs today and at least getting 2 workouts in!  Well that is all for now.  I forgot to weigh myself this morning.  I will do that tomorrow morning.

Gloomy Saturday off to a Good Start

I usually look forward to my weekends.  Weekends are very important to me.  THis is Saturday is rather gloomy, it looks like it wants to rain, I know there is supposedly rain in the forecast for Sunday.  Despite the gloominess of the weather I did make it out for a walk this morning!  It was struggle though, I really didn't want to go!

I walked around the forum, completed 3 laps and at the end of each lap I did 50 crunches and finished out the workout with some stretching.  So overall not a bad gig.  I accidentally stopped my Endomondo Tracker before the workout was over, but the 3 laps at the forum is about 2.25 miles. 
Here is the workout summary:

That is all or now...hopefully I can get another workout in and maintain good eating habits for the day so the workouts are not for nothing!  Happy Saturday!

Operation Hair Growth!

In case you are wondering what my hair growth has to do with my weight loss blog...hmm it doesn't! But I did put on my 2012 Undertakings list that I wanted to take better care of my hair and allow it to grow.  So yesterday I did a little work on my hair.  And by saying I, I mean Yazmin!  LOL!

Well yesterday, I have my hair timmed.  It was needed, though my hair is shorter than it has been in years, it needed a good chop!  So my hair is shoulder length...not a bad place to start off.  I will take a picture of it so I have some progress reports to post.

I also decided to color my hair.  I know that does not sound like it was a wise choice, maybe it isn't, but ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed of having red hair.  When I got out of high school I made the attempt to go red, bleached my hair, re-dyed it red, and guess what?  It was orange!  So I don't have that horror story to tell this time.  I actually enjoy the shade of red adn I am surprised how noticeable the color is, even though my hair was not lightened in anyway shape or form! 

That is all I have for this post, I just wanted to document the date that I started attacking something on my Undertaking list.  Stay Tuned!
