BTW I was wrong, TurboJam is 60$ which includes the weighted gloves and a diet plan.
Beachbody (P90X, TurboJam/Fire, Insanity)
One of my favorite people told me she eats a banana almost daily because of something that happened in college. There was a girl in her dorm that was anorexic. She died. My friend was told that the girl died from the lack of the amount of potassium you would find in ONE BANANA.
Mmmmmmm bananas! My favorite fruit. I used to sit with banana chips and finish a bag in seconds before I realized how many calories were in them. That was the day I yelled at banana chips. The average banana (7 inches) is 109 calories and 28 carbs. For some of us that's a ton of calories... compared to other fruit. But lets be realistic here. I don't think there's one person out there who hasn't bought a bag of "100 calorie right bites". The only reason people freak about a banana being about 100 calories and don't freak about those being around 100 is because cookies are not supposed to be bad for you. Cookies are naughty! They're a treat! Blah blah blah!!! BANANAS ARE A TREAT WITH BENEFITS! Excuse my behavioral language here but a tiny bag of cookies is a date with a peck on the cheek at the end of it and A BANANA is a date with a hottie that's actually fun and a full flat out hot and heavy makeout session at the end. Who actually gets full off of the right bites? They're just a bunch of wasted calories. I'm not even going to talk about the tons of carbs they have.
Let me tell you a little bit about your makeout session with bananas here.
-Carbs that break down straight into energy
-Five times as much Vitamin A (eye health) and iron (blood health) and three times as much phosphorus (cell health) as an apple.
-One banana will give you enough energy for a half hour workout with no crash at the end. Ditch the coffee.
-Potassium (oxygen to brain, helps manage water in body, and regulates heart beat)
- Tryptophan- the same element you find in turkey that calms and destresses you
-Natural laxative. Just enough banana will help regulate you. Too much can constipate you though. While it has the same fiber that is used in laxatives it's still a binding food (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast are used to stop diarreah.)
-B6- Reduces PMS pains and regulates mood
-Brain power! I know my mind likes to shut off sometimes. Banana time!
-Hungover? Eat a banana. It replenishes nutrients and calms your tummy.
-Helps quit smoking
-Pregnant? Bananas regulate blood glucose levels and ease morning sickness (which never showed up in the mornings for me... just the rest of the day)
-Neutralize acidity- If you get heartburn or have ulcers this is why your body naturally craves bananas
And then when you're done eating it take the peel and rub it on your mosquito bites to stop itching, rub it on warts to get them to go away and stop the bacterial growth, then throw it in your lawn for fertilizer. TADA!
I take a banana with my shakeology all the time. I LOVES IT! 140 calories for the shake, 109 calories in my banana- 249 calorie meal that will make me an unstoppable force.
Keep your right bites- me and banana have some warrior training to do.
Banana info pulled from "14 banana health benefits"
This was the FIRST website that came up when I googled benefits of bananas. OWN YOUR NUTRITION. You really are what you eat. BE HEALTHY! Take 10 mintues a day to research a new food. If it's good for you, add it to your grocery list. If it's bad for you FORGETABOUTIT! You don't need food that harm your body! You wouldn't invite someone abusive into your house. Don't invite abusive foods into your body.

First day of Turbo Jam
I've decided to start a 2 month program of Turbo Jam. It is a cardio/strength training program by Beachbody that has ChaLean show you propper form for toned results.
I started the program this morning and it came off as almost too easy. I could feel the work in my abs. I could feel the work in my legs. But I think I expected more sweat from a 15 minute program. I'm not going to give up on it the first day. Tomorrows program is 25 minutes and the other 4 are 40 minutes long. I'm thinking the "Learn and Burn" is something I'll only be doing on days I don't have much time or energy. I did have a ton of fun with it. I enjoyed how she breaks down the right posture so you can get the best results.
One tip I wanted to share that I loved was: When doing an upright ab exercise, stand and squat like you're pressed up against the wall. Keep your shoulders to the wall but pull your pelvis foreward away from the wall. That is crunch form while moving :)
Each week on Monday I will post up where my stats are. I took a few pictures of me in a sports bra and shorts to show beginning to end but after thinking about it, I don't think I want pictures like that of me up on the internet. Tomrrow I will put on some tighter fitting clothes and let you all see my start there. BUT FOR NOW:
Weight 250
Waist 48
Hips 51
Thigh 28
Upper arm 17

I APOLOGIZE I APOLOGIZE I APOLOGIZE
I suck. I know. I'm supposed to be here for support and I haven't been.
What's been going on?
1. I went back to sparkpeople and got re-invested into that. I push that people give this site a try because IT SUPPORTS YOU FULLY! It's free. There's no damage in trying. I got invested in reading blogs and keeping up with groups and ran out of time to do my full blogs on here.
2. I've also been going to the gym at least an hour and a half a day. With the exception of Sundays I am a gym addict. I crave that adrenaline rush I get after a good workout.
3. I am now a beachbody coach. I started taking shakeology to be proof for a few coaches that it works. It worked enough that I decided to stay on it and become a coach to get the discount on it.
Any new results?
YAH
1. I'm down to 250 lbs WOOT WOOT! I've now lost 55 lbs. Can you believe that? Oh I'm so excited!
2. I'm now a size 18. I started as a size 24. The first few sizes dropped like crazy but getting down to a 16 is going to be a little hard since I had diastasis recti (stomach muscles detached during pregnancy) and never did anything about it. And no, unless insurance will cover it, this lady will never get a tummy tuck. PENNY PINCHERS UNITE!
3. I'm no longer binging. Every now and then I have a eating fest but not like I used to. Before it was because I felt I had to eat to make myself happy. Now it's because I'm being human. It only happens once a month and I don't feel ashamed afterward. I do, however, kick myself in the butt the next time I step on the scale ;p
4. I've come out of my shell. I'm talking to more people. I'm hanging out with people outside of gym classes and work. I've got real life friends instead of just online gaming friends. People I don't know who see me all the time have literally RAN to catch up to me and tell me how proud of me they are and ask how I've done it. It's become a daily ego boost. I said my plan was to inspire 10000 lbs of weight loss. I will never know when I've hit that mark but I can tell you I will. THANK YOU GOD!
5. I feel like my husband can be proud of me. Josh has never been ashamed to have me as a wife. Even when I'm a butt to strangers or when I don't get things done on time he's always loved me. But I never felt like he SHOULD have been proud of me. I finally feel like he has some bragging rights about me. I feel like he can say "Yah, she's actually succeeding at something." If that's the one thing I get out of this, I'm perfectly ok with it.
Why did I choose sparkpeople?
It's free... Ummm I can't push enough that this is free support. It's like a non-annoying myspace for people who want to be fit. You get your own personal page. There's a support group for everything. My favorite of the groups is the "Done Being the Fat Girl" group. We can talk about anything and everything. There's groups for tv shows, depression, video games, sports, anything you like or have in life, there's a group for. And they always start you off with a group based on your age and your location so you can find people to work out with or people who understand your generation. AND it helps you track your food with suggestions on how to lose up to 2.5 lbs a week. So it sets you up with a successful program. I dare you to try it. Sparkpeople
Why did I go back to the gym?
I've found that I'm more committed to working out if I have people to look forward to. I started with the zumba classes in Southlake. I was excited to be part of the group. Then I found out 24hour fitness does unlimited classes at any of their gyms plus weights plus machines plus a lap pool for less than I was paying for 8 classes a month at the private zumba classes. Now I take zumba or a dance class almost every day of the week. I'm also taking kickboxing, boxing, bodypump (freeweights), and other Xclasses. I'm still running outside but for my 5k training I'm hitting the treadmill to get my stamina up. Yes, I know, I said I hated treadmills. I do. I really do. But free daycare while I give my all to running.... yah I guess I could use the treadmill. I love running with my kids. I still do it at least 2 times a month, but they're not as dedicated to it as I am. This way they can play with other kids their age while I get an hour with just adults. If you want to give it a try 24hour does free 7 day passes. YOU DID NOT HEAR THIS FROM ME but the 24 hour fitness gyms are not linked when it comes to the 7 day passes. Use up one at one gym, get anther pass at another gym the next week. They cycle every 6 months. Again, you did not hear that from me.
Why shakeology?
Excuse my little advertisement here but this video really sold it for me.
The first time I tried HALF a shake I had been *coughconstipatedcough* for about a week. I had been staying away from red meats and when I finally had a ton of it in one sitting it did it's thing of plugging me up. I took the shake at a party and literally had to excuse myself an hour after having half of it because there was a rumble in my tummy that only meant get to the bathroom and get to it now. I thought maybe I was allergic to it but no, it was just working. It's a prebiotic, a probiotic (both are digestion aids meaning you get more nutrition out of your food and an easier "passing" of the waste. It levels out my hormones which means Hulk Laura does not show her ugly face as much. I used to be angry about everything. I would snap at the kids all the time. Now I'm much more level headed. The extra energy I get from it boosts my workout. Running is so much easier and I don't feel like I need to collapse on the couch when I get home after working out. I'm sleeping better every night. And it raises my HDL and lowers my LDL which means the world to me since heart disease runs in my family. Even my migrains are backing off. I just feel soooooo much better. It's amazing what good nutrition can do for you. If you don't want to give shakes a try please please please take a daily vitamin. It's so important for good health. You can't get the right nutrition just from food anymore. We don't grow food like they used to 40 years ago. Mass production means fertilizing instead of rotating which means less nutrients and minerals pulled from the ground. Now I'm a coach for the shakes because I get a major discount on them and I love spreading news about this because it's helped me so much. If you have questions on it let me know.
That all being said I'm happy to be back into a blogging mood. You'll be seeing a ton more videos and blogs from me. I'll try to talk about nutrition for the most part. If there's anything you guys want me to research or try out please let me know. Soon I'll be getting either turboFire or p90x because I get my discount. I'm excited to see the results from that.

Diet Warrior
I've been pretty bad about getting to Church lately. Tonight we decided to start going again after not going for about a month and I'm really happy we went.
Tonight's message was about being a warrior. Everyone is a warrior. I can tell you when I look in the mirror I don't see one. I see someone who's weak and gross and someone I don't like very much sometimes. I love who I see in the mirror. I stick up for her all the time. But I'd never call her a warrior... until tonight.
The beginning of service started with the scene from Kung Fu Panda. It was the scene where the trainer guy (can't remember his name) holds the food out for Po and says he can have it... when he's trained. He's going to have to work for it. He fails and fails and fails to get the food but each time you see him learning, getting stronger, improving. Then at the end when he's earned the food, he doesn't want it anymore. He's found what he really wanted to achieve his kung fu dream. I was laughing so hard because I always see myself as Po. I see myself as someone who has huge dreams and no confidence to attain them. I see this weight loss as my food. I want it so bad. But to get the weight loss I have to do the work. And in the end I'll have that weight loss and not care... because my dream is to be a better me. God holds things back from us and we complain but what He wants us to do is EARN THEM. Earn it, appreciate, see the bigger picture, realize His full love for us.
In 1 Samuel 16, God sends Samuel out to get a new king over Israel. First Samuel sees Jesse's son Eliab. He thinks this is the next king because he was tall and strong. But God says he doesn't choose Eliab. This happens in verse 6. But it's the end of verse 6 that really sticks out to me. God says "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
Talk about wanting to cry in the middle of a Church service. I was doing everything I could to hold it back. Every day I get on that scale and see the number and every day my same response is UGHHHHH. I see that big number and I judge myself on it. Then I go out in public and I LET others judge me on my appearance.
No amount of weight loss, no amount of makeup, no amount of cosmetic surgery is going to change my heart. Isn't it amazing that out of the entire world, including ourselves, God sees something completely different. He sees what we are. He knows who we aspire to be. He knows our intentions. He knows our purpose. God sees me as a winner. He knows my heart. But He sees how down I am on myself and I know it breaks His heart. Why? Because HE wants ME to see it. That's why He pushes me so hard.
I started this weight loss journey saying I was going to take God with me every step of the way. I was going to start my day with prayer. I was going to pray before every workout. I was going to be God's warrior who said "All things are possible though God." But I keep forgetting Him. I don't include Him in on this. Instead I ask people what THEY think. I go where the people go. But I have never just sat down with God and said "Hey, thanks for loving me the way that I am. Please give me the courage to love myself like you do. Please show me the good in me. Please give me the strength to improve myself. Please be with me through this hard journey." I don't need to stand in front of the mirror and criticize myself. I need to have a conversation with God. HE'S the one who has my back. HE'S the one who takes it and never leaves it.
He's training me to be a warrior, not a model. Because this world needs a warrior. He's put me through this battle for a reason. Sword in hand I will fight. I will put my body back together and show people we can be healthy for God. We can be happy for God. We can take care of ourselves, not for looks, but for God.
Ephesians 6:11- 13 "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."
The service ended with two of my favorite songs. So tonight I leave you with the song I left Church singing and links to the videos for them~~~~~~
"And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?"

I love you guys. Be sure to say thank you to God before you go to bed tonight. He doesn't hear it enough and we could never say it enough.

It's been a while/ food regulating buttheads
I apologize that it's been so long since I've posted. I'm used to writing these on my laptop in a secluded (no 7 year olds going "Mom mom mom mom mommomomomomomom") area of the house. I'm sad to say my laptop is in critical condition right now and being held hostage by the computer repair shop that seems to not be fixing it but refuses to give it back because they ordered (honestly I don't think they know what to order) the expensive part for it already.
Note to all: When your computer needs to be repaired, pay the extra and take it to a non mompop shop unless you've heard awesome reviews.
So until I get the laptop back I will be sharing the computer/game/ living room with my kids who tend to say "Mom" a lot.
I have a ton that I've been wanting to talk about so today I'm going to start with my anger towards money hungry companies and their lack of empathy for the human body.
When we were little, I'm sure all of us heard in some way or another that "Killing is bad mmmkay". The boogie man is bad, he kills people. Murderers are bad, they kill people. Killing people sends you to jail. Killing hamsters means you're either an older brother with a sister who had a hamster or a sadistic maniac. Any way you put it you're bad joojoo if you kill something.
But apparently if you kill someone slowly it's all good. Add to it YOU'LL GET RICH QUICK! That's right people, killing strangers or even the ones you love slowly has become a get rich quick pyramid scheme. Here's how you do it. You open up a company that regulates or provides food.
For those who regulate:
Step one: Get a notepad, a pencil, and a seal of approval.
Step two: Take notes on how bad the food is for a human and act like you're shocked that someone would put this crap in their mouth.
Step three: Wait for the food making company to slip you a few hundreds in return for the seal of approval.
Step four: Wash your sinful soul clean by writing a few statements that say you were not allowed to further regulate due to the loose laws on the food.
Since when was common sense thrown out the window? Food regulations should be so easy that even a caveman could do it. Sorry mr. caveman on the car insurance commercials. Food bad, food eventually kill, food not approved. Tadah! That's how it should go. If the company wants to complain about it and says you're going against the laws of the FSIS, USDA, or FDA, go back and get those rules changed to save the lives of people. Instead they say nothing.
Now if you provide the food:
Step one: Find companies based on price instead of quality to provide the food you sell.
Step two: Fill these foods (if you're selling meat that is) with expanders and addictives (salt and sugar and others).
Step three: Advertise in a way that not only pulls crowds in thinking you're their friend, but also spreading MASSIVE white lies to further promote your product.
Did you know the bottled water companies do not have to tell the public where they get their water, that they only have to filter a certain percent of the water in the bottle, and that the bottle itself has enough toxins in it that it has been proven to lead to cancer because it leaks into the water? Did you know Beef Co. (who provides the beef for over 80% of fast food chains) sprays your meat with ammonia? Did you know that a french fry has so many preservatives in it that it never molds and never decomposes? Try letting your body system work on that one for a while. DID YOU EVEN KNOW YOUR FOOD IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO DECOMPOSE?!?!
Taco Bell says they never freeze their meat. Bull, I've worked there, they do. They even re-freeze it and then sell it the next day. Very few companies can actually not freeze their meat and get away with it. Why? Either they over salt it or they own their own meat producing and packing plants. In and Out Burger is one of the few companies that goes out of its way to grow their own so they can watch the product from start to finish. Braum's also. These companies are not on every street corner. Why? They don't let their food get far enough away from their farms that it in any way should need to be sprayed by ammonia or frozen. Don't even get me started on McDonalds and their Happy (because we're killing your kids!) Meals.
Does drinking Fiji Water or Ozarka or Arrowhead water make it any better for you? Umm no, no it doesn't. Sam's Club actually tested better than all three and I hate to admit that because I hate anything Walmart. All those nice wonderful gas stations that have the pallets of water stacked outside are being very nice and speeding up the breakdown of the plastic for you. That heat leaches the toxins straight into the water creating waste that your body treats as a virus. So how do we get around the toxins of the plastic bottle (in which the water could sit for months and months pulling every toxin they can out of that plastic)? How do we get good clean water that doesn't taste like a chemical mixture? Brita makes a nice big pitcher that easily fits in the fridge. A stainless steel bottle with a filter keeps your water nice and cold, toxin free, and tasteless (the way water should be.) If the water is going to sit in plastic for more than a week, run far far away from it.
So where's my proof. Google this stuff. I dare you. Look up the date of the first microwave dinner, track obesity rates starting from that year on and try to come back and tell me preservatives are not killing us. Can't believe everything you see on the internet? LOOK AROUND YOU. Cancer is spreading like wildfire. Our grandparents are outliving us even though they ate bacon every morning and smoked since they were 10. Why? Government regulations on food and cigarettes have changed and gotten so loose they it seems like they don't even care. In fact I'm going to go extreme here and say it almost seems like they want the weaker of our species to die off faster. Look at people who are already dieing. Do you see doctors urging them to eat organic? Why do doctors do this? Because they know organic food actually extends our life span, fights off disease, and makes our bodies and minds happier. My mother in law comes to visit us and we go out to eat, she throws up. We eat at the house with a full organic meal and she's fine. I made a promise to my family that we wouldn't eat fast food anymore. I dropped 20 lbs with very little exercise in the first month. Why? I shopped on the outside of the store and ate mostly organic and my body didn't have to work so hard to pull out the nutrients and let the food exit the body. Last year we stopped eating McDonalds and Jack in the Box for 2 months because we were trying to save money. The day my kids and I went back all three of us immediately threw up. Our bodies are talking to us. They're mad.
YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR BODY. You are the only one who can keep your liver from becoming a freak show of fat. No more saying "We'll we're all going to die anyways." Live a little longer. Yes we're going to die but I'm not going out without a fight. You owe it to yourself to fight also.
I hope everyone is having a good day.
Godbless
