one ACCOMPLISHMENT...and eats of the day!

I'm on a roll w/ posting my eats =D

BREAKFAST: 1/8 of a BIG melon, 1/2 pear, handful of grapes, 1/3 c kashi go lean, 1/3c of cottage cheese. Yummy! and very filling.

LUNCH: a BIG salad (since i skipped a snack): 2 cups of spinach, 1/2 a small cucumber, carrots, 2 sliced mushrooms, 1 pear, 1/8 avocado, 1/2 pita ( I used it as a replacement for croutons), 1/3 of red bell pepper.

SNACK:1/2c plain yogurt, handful grapes, 2 sliced strawberries, 1 packet of splenda.

DINNER: I was this close to eating lasagna that my mom made (she does it so yummy but sooo greasy)! I actually served myself and was going to get a bite out of it but then thought about it and put it down (this is the FIRST time I do that)! I thought it over and opted for 1/2 cup of rice w/ veggies and a green monster- 1 cup of fat free milk, 2 strawberries, 1/2 of banana and handful of spinach.

and I JUST finished the 30 day shred dvd. So happy I did it!
Thanks for reading! Hopefully I'll post my eats of tomorrow!

Talk to you soon! =D

A day of breakfast and a sanwich...

Blogging on a Monday? Yeah, kind of tired but I figured I should before I go hit the hay. Today was a good day food wise and exercise. I did the 30 day shred dvd (this is my 7th time -not day, I skipped saturday because my leg felt hurt - in this week!)even though I was feeling really really tired and sleepy; I pushed myself and put loud music to zone Jillian out to get it over with. It is MUCH easier and time goes by fast when listening to full blast music.
Music I listened today on my work out:
Telephone - Lady Gaga
Imma be - Black Eyed Peas
Bad influence - Pink
Fearless - Taylor Swift
Tik Tok - Ke$ha
Jump then Fall - Taylor Swift

It usually changes as I have my ipod on shuffle. I HAVE to listen to upbeat music while I'm exercising, if not, I wouldnt be able to finish!


My food was not bad but the timing was pretty wonky.
BREAKFAST: 6:20 (I woke up pretty late and I have to be out my house by 6:30) one green monster: 1 cup of soy milk, 1/2 banana, loads of spinach, 2 tbsp of non-fat yogurt.
no snack
LUNCH: 11:15 (I always try to pack my lunch to school)1 turkey, spinach, and tomato sandwich. Along with 12 baby carrots, 1/2 a medium cucumber.
I DONT classified this as a snack and if I do it was a BIG SNACK: 3:30 1 pear, 2 strawberries (sliced), handful of grapes with less than 1/2 cup cottage cheese.

by 5:45 I got hungry again!! 1 fiber one bar, handful of grapes 1/2 cup of non-fat yofurt.
DINNER: (I was craving breakfast)8:00 oatmeal: (1/2 cup dried oats, about 1 cup of boiling water, 2 packets of splenda, 1tbsp peanut butter all mixed in together) on the side 1 fuji apple.

Wasn't it wonky? I feel like all my meals (except lunch) were breakfast!

Gotta go! It's late and have an early wake-up call. Thanks for reading.

Talk to you soon and g'night =D

Carrots carrots and more carrots.

Good evening you guys! Today has been a good day besides studying for an exam I have tomorrow early in the morning (it's a microbiology exam)! Studying really takes your time doesnt it? I put my nose in the books and when I checked the time hours has passed! Besides all the studying I did Jillian - 30 day shred my leg still feels funny but it didnt hurt as much as it did yesterday. I also did good in the food department.
Here are my eats from today:
breakfast: 1 green monster this one a bit different from yesterday: 1 cup of 2% milk, 3 strawberries, 1/2 cup of oatmeal and lots of spinach. The oatmeal really does full you.
snack: one apple and 1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese.
Lunch wasnt really lunch because when I realized 4 hours had past since my snack and I was starving so I went to the fridge for something really quick and grabbed about 2handfuls of baby carrots and a slice of carrot cake. I promise the piece of cake wasnt big at all.
Dinner: 1/2 cup of beans, 1/2 cup of rice, 1 small steamed zuchini and baby carrots.

I had a lot of baby carrots today. Another way I like them (besides steamed or by themselves) is with lemon, salt and chili powder, lol is that weird? Whenever I crave something sour and salty I go for that or cucumber (the same way).
okay I have to get back to studying now. Wish me luck and Thanks for reading!

weigh-in # 4

Hello everyone!
This weigh-in is not a gain! I feel ecstatic! I finally loss this week a total of 2.2lbs which brings me back to 180.4. I cant wait to weigh in next week and see myself out of the 180's again. Today I didnt excersice because I think I pulled a muscle in my leg during yesterdays run, and it hurts when I try to push myself to do the 30 day shred dvd. It's a bummer because I was ready to do it but my leg couldn't handle it. It's ok because I know I tried and my eats weren't soo bad.
here are my eats for today:
breakfast- 1 green monster (1 cup of 2% of milk 2 handfulls of spinach and 1/2 a banana), with 1/4 of a cantaloupe and 8 grapes.
snack 1/2 cup of total cereal with milk
Lunch: turkey sandwich (spinach, mushroom and tomato) 1 cup of progresso soup
snack: fiber one bar.
and dinner was wonky (is that a word?, I have it in my vocab..lol)
I had a bowl of rice, chicken and veggies but didnt finish it because I had to go out. When i got home at around 9:30 I was really hungry and had 2 oranges and a less than an inch piece of chocolate cake (It tasted delicious but was not tempted to get more)
I dont really feel bad about the piece because I think a week ago I would've eaten more than that.
Hope my leg feels better tomorrow so I can kick some butt in my work-out.

Update

Thought I left this bloggy hangin? Nope! I've just been busy this week with school and exams. I think it's a miracle if I get to post on Monday-Thursday. I wake up way to early for my liking (5am) and get home too tired but have to study and do homework. On other news I think I've been doing pretty darn good and I feel GREAT! on sunday I did good food wise, on Monday I sort of got off track but not a big deal on Tuesday up to this day (friday) i've been exercising! I'm so happy and proud of myself. Because since Mon I've been doing Jillian Michaels-30 day Shred plus today i ran 3 miles, yep 5 days of exercise and a 3 mile run. I REALLY want to complete 30 days of the dvd, I have always stopped for a few days at around day 12-15.I know I suck. I have another run planned for tomorrow early in the morning but we'll see what happens. Im pretty excited yet scared to step on the scale tomorrow but I have to do it. Thanks for reading!

Weigh-in #3 and ramblings...

Today was weigh-in and as much as I hate to post it on here I HAVE to. I made the commitment to post the good weigh-ins aswell as the bad ones. Today was a bad one, I feel so bad and embarassed, seriously because on the previous posts i'm talking about how i've been doing bad but how it's going to change and my weigh-in today proves it hasnt change. In my mind I thought I did better than last week but apparently the scale doesnt think so. Now that i reflect on this past week i noticed i'm always eating something and saying to myself "Rosa you'll start tomorrow" or "You already ate those chocolate kisses might as well eat whatever you want for the rest of the day" so i've been eating that kind of food consciously knowing it's bad. I've also thought a few days of eating whatever i saw in front of me wouldnt make a difference on my body. The verdict? yes it will and it does. It's starting to reflect on my body and not only I noticed but my sister did too! My jeans are starting to feel snuggly on me and it doesnt feel good. Lately i've been reaching for the lose fitting ones or some pants. I was just ignoring the fact that my pants weren't fitting as they use to. Yesterday my older sister told me that it seems I've been gaining weight (I dont tend to tell no one when i gain lbs). My reaction wasnt feeling bad for myself or mad at her (when people tell me I'm big I hate them and/or get mad at them for a quick minute). I told her "THANK YOU for telling me!" yes i did because i thnk i need it just that a reality check. I guess that since no one was telling me that i looked fatter i didnt really took eating healthy seriously and was eating whatever i wanted. Now I'm being better on what i've been putting in my mouth.
okay sorry for my rambling.
here's the moment of truth today in the morning i weighed in at 182.6 that's a gain of 2.2 lbs!. That means i've gained 5.4 lbs in two weeks! That's just awful! Im seriously DETERMINED to shed those 5.4 lbs ASAP (the healthy way of course)!
To prove that i'm serious this time here are my eats of today.
Breakfast:
2 peanut butter toasts(whole wheat bread), 1 cup of grapes, and 1 cup of milk.
Snack: 1/2 cup of kashi go lean and <1/2 of cottage cheese
Lunch: Salad: 1/2 cup Romain lettuce,1/2 c spinach, 1/4 of bell pepper, baby carrots, 2 mushrooms, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 cucumber. -
Seems pretty big but its low on cals.
Dinner: 1/2 c steam white rice, 3/4 cups of black beans, 1 1/2 steam broccoli,cauliflower, baby carrots, and 1/4 avocado.

Im positive i'm going to have a loss next week ;)
THANK YOU for reading!

Venting...

I have fallen off the wagon and seriuosly cant get back on. As much as I want to, it seems like I can't. I havent posted any eats 'cause I'm just ashame of what i've been eaten. I start off my days good and then slowly but surely I choose the unhealthiest things that look so yummy! I'm going to put a stop to this! and WILL start eating healthy. Today I didnt have classes because it's a holiday (Presidents day), and i had a 3 mile run planned with my older sis. I wake up early on a non-school day (5:30am to be exact) get ready with my running shoes, fully pumped and excited about the run to get really MAD! She overslept! I was mad and frustruated instead of doing some exercise on my own i went back to bed. i slept 4 extra hours and felt so heavenly and the rest of the day has gone by so fast! I have planned to do some kind of exercise tonight because I WILL not let my previous hard work go to waste! This venting felt really good!

Talk to you soon. =D
