OH YEAH! ADVOCARE IS HERE!!!

Awesome!  Got my shipment today, so I can look forward to tons of extra energy again!  I got some products that I hadn't tried before (Coffecino and Thermoplus).  I drank one of the Coffecinos as soon as I opened the package...  frickin' YUM!  The only way I can describe the taste is like those International Delights instant cappacinnos.  I drank it with ice, but it can be prepared hot as well (which I will be drinking in lieu of my coffee in the morning).... Going outside now to pick tons of tomatoes...  probably will be canning my first sauces and salsas of the year on Monday.

I am now selling the Advocare line of weight loss products:

I love and believe in these products so much that I've decided to become a distributor!  Follow the link to order products.  If you have any questions, find me on facebook or email me at parnold0623@live.com.

Down 2 lbs.!

YAY! I'm down 2 lbs.  Been active, although not formal exercise.  Yesterday, I scrubbed my kitchen floor on my hands and knees but instead of being on my hands and knees, I was doing squats as I was cleaning.  Wow, that must have been a sight!  I'm so glad no one was here to witness it, but my legs and butt were very sore afterwards.  As an added benefit, my floor looked great and my kitchen smelled so clean!  I used this spray oxyclean stuff and it really did the trick.  My floors have been yellowish ever since I moved in here but now they are almost white.  Still need more throw rugs though.  Landlord won't let me replace the vinyl.  Anyways, trying to stay on track, but it's really hard without my Advocare.  Can't wait till Wednesday, when I can order it.  Well, if I have the funds by then, which I think will be here Monday.

Catching you up on old news...

Well, as you know, I've been extremely busy with watching kids.  When I'm not watching them, I am doing my yardwork and gardening.  As such, I am in almost constant movement.  Ok, not a regimented or scheduled workout, but better than no exercise at all.  Next week, I get to purchase my Advocare and I'm going distributor so YAY ME!  Very excited about that.  So, to catch you up, basically my diet is the same every day... mainly because I don't have time to be diverse and this way, I know I'm eating right.

Breakfast:  Oatmeal w/blueberries and nuts
                  Coffee
                  Water
                   Green tea pills

Lunch:        MRS (but Kellogg's, not Advocare)
                  Water
                   Fruit
                   Veggie
                    Green tea pills

Dinner:       Grilled chicken on M-W-F
                  Grilled tilapia on T-TH-Sat-Sun
                   Water
                   Fruit
                   Veggie
                   Omegaplex

If I get hungry (normally I don't) between meals, my snack consists of soy nuts or almonds and more water.  I'm getting 10 oz. of water at a time, so with my meals and my bipolar meds and my seizure meds, plus snacks, I'm getting over the recommended 64 ozs.  Weight loss?  no loss, no gain.  That will change when I get my advocare, so I'm not worried about it.  My goal is still to lose my weight by Christmas, and I know that I can do that so I'm not worried at all.  Pretty soon I will have yummy fresh veggies from my garden to eat.  My tomatoes are turning yellow.... well on their way to red!  I've got about 2 days to go before I can harvest my first batch of peas!!  All is well.  If anyone has a good, low fat green tomato recipe, I would love that.  The only thing I have is fried green tomatoes and I'm not eating anything fried!!
                
                  

Not neglecting me, or you....

Still doing well, losing weight, and feeling good.  Just super busy and super tired at night.  Watching 2 small toddlers and a ten year old daily.  Will update everything tomorrow or next day at the latest.

Still on track...

Staying on track with the diet portion of my transformation.  Really wish I had my AdvoCare for energy though.  I keep busy with gardening and watching the baby keeps me hopping, but still not back to my set exercise schedule.  Have an appointment at Curves tonight at 6pm.  The dry erase board keeps my nutrition on track though.  Therefore, not losing but not gaining either.

BACK ON TRACK!

Although I won't have my Advocare products for a couple of weeks, I'm back on track with my weight loss.  I have to get up at 7am to be ready for the baby coming over, so that gets my day started earlier.  My exercise routine still isn't up to par, but I've added more protein into my diet and I do move constantly with the baby here.  When he's not here, I'm doing yard work and gardening.  As a result, I lost 4 lbs this week.  I'm at 161 though because I had gained 6 back from the yucky feeling days (Mother Nature helped).  If nothing else, I'm proud that I didn't let the bogged down feeling KEEP me down.  It could've been my bipolar cycling as well, so YAY that it didn't last weeks as it usually does.  At any rate, I'm back at it and happy.  I put a dry erase board on my fridge that has BREAKFAST: protein, oatmeal, fruit, water... Catalyst, exercise, water... LUNCH: protein, veggie, fruit, water...  DINNER: protein, veggie, fruit, water... Catalyst, exercise, water... SNACK: choice of nuts & berries OR Activia yogurt, water...  along with boxes for check marks, of course.  Not all of them are filled in (I don't cheat), but most are so I'm proud but need to do better.  And I get extra water when I'm outside in the yard, sweating out most of what I've already drank for the day.  I'm getting about 3-4 hours of yard work exercise per day.  My yard is looking spectacular.  Pics tomorrow.
