Called out!

So I am managing session 2 of the 6 week accountability and weight loss program... I am also part of the group trying to lose my last 10 lbs of baby weight.

I preach and preach about logging your food because that is how you are going to see exactly why or why not you are losing weight. Well, this week I did a lot of it in my head - which incidentally I also preach NOT to do and I only lost .5 lbs.

But what I was not expecting was 2 of my ladies called me out and saw that I was not logging!!! Ha!! I love it! Yes- call me out! Practice what you preach, right!!

Thank you ladies, you know who you are, for giving my own words right back to me. Sounds like I have a challenge for the week ahead - LOVE IT!

Back to Routine

Kids are back at school, husband is traveling again, and construction is 99% complete! Time to get back into routine - yea! Everyone in my house is happier and more content when on a routine - it is just what we needed!

Water bottle is out
Workouts are at least planned in the calendar
Food log is getting better
Hot tea at night after kids go to bed

Macias house is on it's way to 'back on track'! How is your household now that the year has begun? How are you getting back on track?

First Friday Night of the New Year

I love Friday nights: a drink, salad, pizza and wine!!

But its the New Year and I am on the bandwagon to eat better and lose these damn last 10-15 pounds!!!

So what to do... Well, those who know me know that I am not going to give up my drink or wine, but I can cut down on the amount and insert a club soda or water in between. That will slow me down and hydrate me more.

Now for the pizza! The better and healthier option is to make it at home. I like Boboli or using wheat pitas. Also the kids can help to add their favorite toppings and make it their own. Also go for lower fat or reduced fat cheese.

Well enjoy your evening!

Happy 2011!!

Happy New Year!

What a crazy holiday season! We had family in for Thanksgiving, Nicolas' baptism, Christmas and New Years Day. It was a great time but ready to get back into the groove and back into a schedule. Today was Back to School, family left, and time to clean and back (or start) to log my food.

The first Strong Like You 6 week program of 2011 started this weekend also. What a way to start the year - on a scale. I know it's awful for everyone to stand on a scale but after 2 months of indulging - that number is BAD! Definitely time to refocus and plan ahead! If you are interested in joining the 6 week program let me know! You can do it in person or virtually.

So today I logged and drank 5 cups of water. If everyday can get a bit better, that is a great accomplishment.

What is your health goal for the upcoming year?

Fallen off the wagon again??

Unbelievable!!! How does this happen? Why does this happen?? Why is it so hard to stay ON the wagon??? I know, I know, life gets in the way. Plus - it's more fun to be off the healthy lifestyle wagon, right??

Well - I am going to attempt another time to get back on track. Water, logging, and vitamins are on tap as my first step. These are things that do not require any more time from me - time is a luxury I just don't seem to have right now. I am just trying to shower a few times a week.

Anyone with me?? What are you going to do to get back on track or to increase your healthy lifestyle??
