Weightloss/Wellness Diet!

So it's offical. I'm back on my weightloss/wellness diet. It's only been 3 days of low carbs no sugars no starches and I can already tell the difference in how my clothes are fitting again. YAY!!! In related news, today I decided to make a commitment to limiting my alcohol intake. I could go years without having to drink because I know im not an alchy, but i do like to induldge and get a lil buzz going. I hate being wasted! yuck! anyway im going to try to cut myself down to 3 glasses of wine per week. No more beer. Beer has so many empty calories and that's a big part of gaining weight...think abuot it if a glass of beer has 110 calories and i have 3 beers that's 330 extra calories a day...times 3 times a week....is 990 calories that i dont need to intake!

I love working out--ok im lying...i love when i am FINISHED working out!!! well at least the first 4 days SUCK--but after i get into a routine i can handle it and feel good. i just get burnt out because i dont take it easy like i am soposed to. I need to get our total gym from justins moms house so either early AM i can do workouts or late PM after i put JJ down for the night! I'm a big fan of pilates, and i looked on youtube and there are tons of pilates for the total gym! wooooo booyah...my sister Michelle is a certf. trainer and told me the only way to burn fat is cardio. Doing crunches and ect is just going to build muscle and tone. FUDGE...i hate cardio... :(

My mom is doing GREAT. She's lost 17 lbs in the past 3 weeks! she found out she was allergic to GLUTEN...the reason why she's always so bloated and swollen. She looks awesome! She works out 5X a week and I'm so happy for her.

  1. I'm glad you are taking fitness seriously. I have to disagree that cardio is the only way to lose fat; this is simply not true. Olympic lifters and bodybuilders are very lean and they do very little to no cardio. Crunches build ab muscles BUT it will be nice muscle and you should include crunches along with other core exercises. Pilates is great, but weight lifting the right way is hands down the best way to strengthen and tone. All top fitness models both male and female include weight training in their routines. You should mix up cardio and free weight training for best results. I'll post some links to help you out.
