Scheduling Sleeps and Eats

by kris on May 17, 2012 in Health & Wellness, My Daily Life

Happy Thursday, Doll!

How are ya??

So its Thursday, which means we are so uber close to the weekend and that makes a lot of people happy, including me! I love the vibes of the weekend and I love that I have a couple plans this weekend that make my heart full, like meeting with my Friend, Coach and Mentor, Ann. Lovely, Ann! I also know that I get to fill my belly with good healthy eats from Whole Foods, because we always do that over the weekend…..and getting some shopping in!

Momma needs some new things. New Lulu….I actually think I need one of those Lululemon headbands that people wear when they crush their workouts, you know the ones?? They are bright and cute? yea, my bobby pins are not keeping my “friends” away {aka Baby Hairs} out of my face like I need them to. So a new headband thing is in order. Gawd, workout stuff is so cute, huh??

I realized during this Phase 2 of the LiveFit that being more active with the heavy weights and the cardio requires a lot out of your body….this means I need more recovery time, but hadn’t fit that in until this week. Naughty Naught. Sleep over the last few months has been minimal for us running a business and fitting everything in, but the other day my body had enough. It was 10:00pm and I was exhausted, fell asleep on the couch and that is soooo not like me.

My muscles need a healthy sleep schedule.

Over the last 4 days I MADE myself be in bed at the latest 11pm. My alarm was set for morning, but I always snooze twice before rising. Ahhhh so nice! So I’ve been getting ultimate sleep and I feel amazing!

A sleep tip I can give you is, sleep with the window a tad open, they say you sleep better when you’re cooler and its true…at least for me it is

I also will listen to tranquil music while falling asleep, usually one filled with self loving affirmations, like this one:

Self Love Affirmations

Since I realized scheduling my sleep is JUST as important as scheduling my eats on this plan, I have a schedule for everything it seems.

I’m not going to lie, I love my schedules.

I’m that kinda gal

Lately on my eats has been Fruit in my Salad Tornado’s, last night was Pears! YUM!

I’ve also been making about a batch of Mini Mint Coconut Creams a day…thank god the Light Canned Coconut Milk is on sale at Whole Foods.

I have a 2 hour schedule for my eats and when I let that slip…..goodness, my body tells me I missed it! I get cranky and I get REALLY hungry!! So I always carry nuts and cookies with me

Ohhh in other IHW News, I think I wan to cut my hair!!

What do you think about this?? I feel since its Spring I need a new do! Something Fresh! Michelle made a good point – Its fresh and new, just like my life!

Cute right?? I just don’t know if I can do that short….eeeekkkk! I might have to go light again as I found 2 more grey hairs!!! Dang, 31!

I’m going to get my breakfast on and then get my sweat on

Comment Below! Do you get a new Spring Hair Cut every year?? Do you have a set sleep schedule??

Day 37 LiveFit Trainer {+ a Few of My Favorite Things}

by kris on May 16, 2012 in Feel Good Fitness, Health & Wellness, My Daily Life

Happy Wednesday, Doll!

How are ya??

I hope you’re having a sunny morning like I am. I am actually surprised we’ve had a week straight of sunshine and heat….we are blessed.

Last night on Facebook I asked what you’d like to see as a Challenge – A Lifestyle Challenge or a Healthy / Fitness Challenge and it was so exciting to see the answers. I am always down for both as the weight lifting gal in me loves fitness and the Life Coach gal in me love the Lifestyle and Mindset. So freaking awesome that we can change our inner and outer world so easily and with so much passion, isn’t it??

Before I hit you up on Facebook, I hit the gym and rocked out Chest, Abs and Cardio for Day 37 of the LiveFit Trainer. I am actually feeling a bit of anxiety around this challenge as I haven’t seen huge, huge results yet, but I know its because I am only at Day 37, but I’m also freaking out because I feel like I only have a short time until my toes are in the sand in Miami. I know I am just being Crazy, so you have to listen to me blabber….

Day 37 – Cardio Blast!

Can you believe I was cranky yesterday?? I also publicly displayed that on Facebook yesterday too. Jeepers. But as I said, coffee made me better. It fixed my cranky pants.

I will tell you, the new Nike Kicks are crushing it, I love them!

During my workouts I’m getting fueled with David Guetta! Who doesn’t like a good techno beat to help you keep your mind right in the game? I find this kind of music really pumps me up and makes me push those weights that don’t want to be pushed go harder. Yes, I talk to my muscles and my weights. Gotta love on your body

Dinner was gloriously simple.

Egg White Scramble with Pepper, Spinach and Avocado. Done like dinner.

Lately I’ve been loving my egg whites…they fill me up and give me protein which I feel I function best off of.

What I’ve really been loving is this water, Vortex H20, I get from Whole Foods! It is 9.5 PH {Super Alkaline} and totally rehydrates me after a good workout. I know the plastic bottle is kinda pissy, but I really enjoy the water. I really truly, recycle everything!

I also picked up some new goodies from the local drug store!

Ok, Ok, here is the thing….I was so excited about this Natural Mineral Deodorant by Secret and everyone was filling me in that it wasn’t all “Natural” as it claims. I figured it was better than what I normally use and should really look into a good REAL Natural Deodorant that really works!

Right now my friend, I have to eat breakfast, wash my hair, and head to my morning appointment…then I’m back home after I pick up a coffee {I predict} and then back to work, hopefully on the patio

Comment Below! Do you use all natural deodorant?? What brand do you use? Do you buy your makeup and necessities from the local drug store?

Cardio Be Rockin’!

by kris on May 15, 2012 in Feel Good Fitness, Health & Wellness, My Daily Life

Happy Tuesday, Doll!

How are ya?

I am a wee bit puffy eyed {always puffy, huh??} this morning after watching The Vow two nights in a row…call me a love freak…I am such a suck when it comes to Love Stories, Muscly Men and well, Love Stories…so I watched it again last night and cried like a baby. Am I the only one who sees sappy movies like this and think about them for days after? Am I hopeless romantic??

A sappy, teary movie is not a movie without something to drown your sorrows, so I nibbled on yesterdays Mini Mint Coconut Creams….I had 4…..I’m in serious love with these little nuggets of heaven and didn’t feel any guilt, that’s how I know these are “safe” treats. Let me know when you try them! They rebuild your fluttering heart, trust me.

Before I snuggled up for a sappy movie and a sweet treat, I rocked a Weight Session where I worked my Back. I am on Day 36 of the LiveFit Program and its coming along nicely. I recorded a whole video yesterday answering many questions you had on the program, on my food and on my life in general right now, but my dang iMovie isn’t working. Poop.

What I realized yesterday being at the gym at 8:30am I enjoy it much more being there that early after a light breakfast. I feel like my energy was great, my motivation was rockin’, and my early morning drive was vibrating which got me through the whole session quickly. I’m going to try this again today and rock it out early so I have the rest of my day to crush it in all other areas today!

After I sweated myself out with heavy weights and then got myself cleaned up for some amazing eats with the family for Mother’s Day Brunch. Yes, we were a day late, but everyone could get together yesterday, so we went for brunch!!

I could only party for a couple hours and after a glorious morning out, I headed home for some much needed digging into work, so I set up shop on the patio and soaked up ALL the fantastic heat and rays we’ve been getting! I was sipping endless amounts of Lemon Water, which I don’t know if there is a “limit” to due to damaging my teeth or something….but I love it! I seriously sip water more this way.

All this food and alkalizing lemon water lead me to a dirt path and a bomb diggity hike with Ryan and Hudson just before dinner. Hudson loves it in the forest and lets all his bagged up energy out on the trail….

I REALLY needed to get a good cardio session is as I’ve mentioned that all this extra food is causing my bags to saddle, so I get my cardio in {as much as it picks my rear} I do it, to keep the rear trim! Being outdoors in the forest makes it easier for me to get it on that being cooped up in the gym on a machine for 30 mins straight. Don’t you agree?? When I’m in the trail I feel free, I feel like my body is getting an all over workout and my mind is at peace. My manifesting abilities come full force when I’m in nature {during the nice months, of course} and I can feel myself actually doing MORE of a workout for longer than if I was on the dreadmill.

We hiked for a good hour and I know I worked it out because I was STARVING, so we finished my evening out with a Whole Foods trip to the Salad Bar where I loaded up. I challenge you to stop all processed foods when you don’t feel like cooking and hit up the salad bar. Good choices and healthy options.

I swear I could eat this for breakfast this morning too…In love! Feed my muscles….

Well, I am off to get ready for the day, have a pre workout meal and hit the gym! I have a lot of running around to do, buying more mineral makeup and picking up packages from the post office and then back to work! Busy Busy!

Comment Below! Do you prefer cardio outdoors or in the gym??

Mini Mint Coconut Creams

by kris on May 14, 2012 in Desserts, Gluten Free, Recipes, Snacks

Happy Monday, Doll!

How are ya??

I hope you had a glorious weekend full of good food, good laughs and spending time with your mom if you had the chance. I was able to see my mom for a bit yesterday, but today Michelle and I are taking our Mom and Dad out for a yummy brunch and coffee.

Before I share with you a super easy and healthy treat that won’t break your gym bank, I want to Thank You for the sweet, encouraging words after my Laser Procedure on Friday. I swear my cheeks are still swollen, they are super dry and feel strange…but everyone keeps telling me this is so way worth it If you missed Saturday’s post and my before and after laser pics, click here.

I actually went out of the house with Cabbage Patch Face and went for Indian food with our friends…..it was interesting, I could feel a lot of self confidence issues coming up with my blowfish going on and everyone wanted to take pictures, isn’t that always the case?? Here is a hooty and the blowfish picture.

At this restaurant there was Flamenco Dancers and live, funky music! I loved it

We also had some beach time where I sit, connect and feel so align with my dreams. I take the beach to sit and go over my dreams and desires with the direction I eventually want to take the I Heart Wellness Brand. I realized that I need to start shooting more videos as you and the other readers seem to love them. I think a routine of once a week will be fab if I can actually set the goal and stick to it!

My beach view of dreams….

Gorgeous! I also had a cuppa joe with me

After my manifesting session, we decided it was time to pick up the moms something. Flowers are always a good choice and we got a bunch of them for Ryan’s mom and for mine. So many that the hanging basket started taking over Hudson’s space in his back seat. He was totally not impressed with these flowers.

“Please guys….move these dang flowers…they’re in my sleep zone!”

Poor Poopers.

Ok, Ok, Time for Treats!

Sunday night I was in major crave mode. I had rocked out a hot and sweaty leg workout, worked very hard at it and knew I deserved a treat, but not one that would totally cancel out the heavy weights I just lifted.

Mini Mint Coconut Creams:

1 can Light Coconut Milk

6 packs Krisda Stevia

1/2 tsp Mint Extract

*Chocolate Chips or Chocolate Covered Almonds

Homemade Chocolate {for topping}

To Make Mini Coconut Creams: In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients except for the chocolate topping.

Pour mixture into an Ice Cream Tray and place in the freezer for 2 hours.

Remove the coconut creams from the freezer and top with the homemade chocolate mixture.

Place back in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Dive in!

These were by my side as I watched Life As We Know It with Josh Duhamel. Hubba Hubba!

Now, I have to get my breakfast in and my lemon water so I can hit the gym before my family comes to pick me up for brunch!! I’ll stay connected via Facebook and Twitter! Have a great day!

Comment Below! Do you love Coconut Milk Treats?? Would you like to see more videos on the blog??

Post Laser Face

by kris on May 12, 2012 in Beauty, Health & Wellness

Happy Weekend, Doll!

How are ya??

Thank you for your loving and encouraging words as I went in for my first Fractional Laser appointment to help with any old scarring I had.

I’ve been excited to get this done for a while, obviously, but they are expensive treatments, so I had to wait until now

Yesterday I was excited to hop in the chair and work on my fresh new face, until she did the first laser beam that I swear went straight into my soul. This laser hurt like a beast, tears were streaming down my face and I wanted to scream “STOP” every time she’d start a new batch of cheek to work on….The whole time I kept thinking, “Why am I paying for this torture again???” Oh yea, oh yea, smooth skin

The laser feels like a million bees stinging your face.

If you look closely there is a “Grid” on my face from where the laser was shot and oddly enough I look like the tough part of the skin on packaged tofu…do you know what I mean???

Anyways….yesterday I was BEAT Red and Splotchy…

Today…well today is another story…

I can’t even show a pic of how bad it is as the picture won’t even show that my face is literally 5x bigger than it normally is.

Ryan says he feels like he’s dating me at 18 when I was chubbier and drank a lot of beer LOL. Its true. I look like a cabbage patch kid. Not good!

Hopefully this swelling goes down by later today as I have dinner plans….eeeekkkk…if not, I cancel.

I can only wear mineral makeup for this next week, I can not use any of my Clinique 3 Step System due to harsh exfoliators, and have to watch my sun sitting I picked up a thing of Cetephil cleanser as it is said to be “gentle” so we’ll see how that goes!

Today I am itching to workout but I have to wait until after 3pm to get back into the gym as it has to be 24 hrs since my appointment to allow heat back into my body….

The scary thing is??? I need at least another 2 appointments of bees stinging my cheeks. UGH.

I’m going to go drown my puffy cheeks in coffee…have a great day!

To Your Glam Life,

xxoo

Frozen Cocoa Monkey “Cheesecake”

by kris on May 11, 2012 in Beauty, Desserts, Gluten Free, Health & Wellness, Recipes, Snacks

Happy Friday, Doll!

How are ya??

I hope you’re having a gorgeous morning! The weather has been out of this world lately and I’m in love with it It’s been so nice that we took a part of the day yesterday to get our cardio in outdoors and climb a mountain. We rocked out the trail here that we like to hike and I strapped on ze ol heart rate monitor for good calorie counting!

I burned 756 cals hiking the mountain! Perfect. Tan, Fresh Air and a Good Burn!

After the workout, we headed to Whole Foods for some lunch and hydrated up with some Coconut Water. I don’t know about you, but I could drink coconut water all freaking day long and I know that is not a good choice…but I could.

Starbucks was also in our day. DUH!

Yes, I do need a reusable mug, a couple friends on Facebook have brought this up to me…but there is this thing I have with the paper cup that I swoon for. Strange, right? But I will invest me into a reusable mug.

After allllllll this bliss yesterday morning, I came home and crushed out my Arm & Ab workout! Week 1 Phase 2 is BALLER! I love it! A lot of triceps were worked yesterday and they were shaky nuggets on the back of my arms, but the burn is worth it when my arm are poppin’ in the next 55 days. BOOM.

Ryan was out last night so I had the condo to myself. I did some work, had a bubble bath, watched some reality tv and ate some fun Protein Yogurt Goodness….or shall I say, Frozen Cocoa Monkey “Cheesecake”. Freaking Awesome!

I know, I know…everything is packed with protein right now, but come’on, if I’m going to “treat” it has to be worth it for me right now when I’m on this muscle building plan

Frozen Cocoa Monkey Cheesecake:

1/4 cup Greek Yogurt

5 drops liquid Stevia

2.5 tbsp Vanilla Protein Powder {Vi Shape Shake Mix}

2 squares Dark Chocolate {shaved with Microplaner}

1 tbsp Coconut

1/2 banana {sliced}

To Make Frozen Coco Monkey Cheesecake: In a mixing bowl mix together all the ingredients, except banana slices.

In a muffin tin drop in half the mixture, layer with banana slices and top with more “Cheesecake”.

Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until slightly chilled and solid as an ice cream texture.

As I was taking these pics outside, Hudson was interested in some…can you see that little stinker waiting for it??

Funny Dude.

Annnnd today…is my first Fractional Laser appointment!! Remember how I said a couple weeks ago I’m starting a new craziness in my life?? I’m so excited to gain my smooth skin back. Its been too long. So I go today at 1:30 and am nervous. Feels like elastic bands slapping all over my face, apparently. EEEKKK!

Will keep you posted But FIRST, Coffee!

Comment Below! What are you treating on today??

To Your Glam Life,

When You Outgrow Your Life, Get Back In Your Flow

by kris on May 10, 2012 in Emotional Awareness, Life Changes, Personal Development

Happy Thursday, Doll!

How are ya?

So I know we’ve been chatting a lot about Fitness, a lot about Nutrition and a lot about other amazing things happening in my life, but today I feel I need to let loose…share a bit of “Where I Am” if you know what I mean??

First off on the exciting radar, we went out to a movie on a Wednesday Night!! I KNOW! Normally I am cuddled up on the couch watching Real Housewives of Vancouver, chatting to people on Facebook and dialing into 3 way calls…but not last night. Last night we hit the town…or…errrr…the theater

We watched The Avengers!! FINALLY! Ryan and I both enjoy Super Hero Movies. He gets to see Action and I get to see ROMANCE. What I learned from last nights movie is, I HEART Thor. Or…maybe just his biceps, but non the less, he is studly. Enough said.

Before we hit up the movie I picked up a wee treat to sneak in with me. A Tall Decaf Soy Half Sweet Latte. YUM!

Earlier in the day we picked up lunch after a few meetings and appointments and sat on the beach…

Ryan and I didn’t say much to each other while we were in West Vancouver, over looking the choppy water, but we both kinda knew what we were thinking. We looked around and saw nothing but gorgeousness…we felt freshness, at peace and in flow.

You know me, I believe that when things are aligning perfectly we are in flow and we feel our best. Over the last month our “flow was “off” and the only thing I can use to judge this is how I feel, business and well, how I feel! How well I’m sleeping at night, etc. While sitting on the beach eating my Salad Bar Brown Box I made up from Whole Foods and sipping on my very FIRST Zevia {HELLO!}

I realized that I am now again in flow. Things are rocking and rolling, except for a couple things. We both know what these things and we know what we need to do to align them. Its almost like where we are in this fun life, we’ve outgrown. We’re ready to step every aspect of our life up a notch and see what we can achieve after that. This might mean we travel more, we move from our box in the sky {condo!} and get Hudson a backyard, we might need to start a charity, feed the local families that can’t afford it, start going out on Wednesday nights MORE!

Its time to set our bar higher and make an manifest these dreams hardcore amazingly into our lives. I am ready and I am able, just bring it universe!

Since starting LiveFit and changing my body and my eating habits, my mind has also changed. I am stronger. I have a strong goal. A strong want and end result…that the gorgeous thing about the 90 Day Challenge is you can set whatever goal you choose and have something to commit to. Now, it just time to set these passionate goals with all other areas and really manifest them into our lives.

I just felt that today this is what I had to share…..I feel like I’ve outgrown where I am and I need to break free into all new heights. I think you might be feeling the same thing too?? I know I am usually connected to the readers here, so I’d love to hear what you are excited to manifest into your life??

I know I need to move to the water and be surrounded by that energy and creativity.

I know I enjoyed going out late on a Wednesday and treating myself to a specialty drink….that will happen more often!

My challenge for myself today is to step out of my comfort zone, feel uneasy, but in flow. Look deep within and find out what changes I need to set and what goals I can start setting in my life to kick this comfort zone with my Jimmy Choo’s…I don’t have JC’s but you know what I mean

Comment Below! Are you ready to set new goals in life?? Feeling a bit stagnent and ready to manifest some big things?? What would you love to create??

To Your Glam Life,

xxoo

Adding Cardio Into Your Life – Phase 2 LiveFit

by kris on May 9, 2012 in Feel Good Fitness, Health & Wellness

Happy Wednesday, Doll!

How are ya??

I found a video from last week that I shot for a business thang when I was still in Phase 1 of the LiveFit and rocking out legs! I thought it would be fun to share it with you today and you can kinda see {QUICKLY} what some of the exercises look like if you’re thinking of jumping on this program!

Jamie Eason LiveFit Phase 1 Leg Workout:

This video is so funny because it was filmed on our new GoPro Camera! Isn’t it funny?? Very “bubbly”

So YES I’ve finally added Cardio back into my life. I thought I would never want to step onto another treadmill, but I’ve actually missed it. Yes, yes, you heard me right….I missed cardio. I am feeling ok, I do not have a fever, I do have the cardio bug right now and I’m in love.

Yesterday was Chest and Abs day and a 30 Min Cardio Sesh of my choice….

Yes, I got my coffee, went to the beach and decided to do some pushups…that’s dedication! LOL

The cardio I rocked yesterday was 30 minutes on the freaking dreadmill! I’ve realized after FREAKING about increasing my calories and not doing cardio for a full 4 weeks…that Heavy Weight Lifting really DOES burn a lot of calories!!

I did a full 30 minutes of Heavy Weights for my Chest workouts and I burned a total of 262 cals! Then the kick ass treadmill burned another 300 and somethin….it was glorious…and sweaty!

Ok, I refuse to spend my “Play” money on a Heart Rate Monitor, so I use Ryan’s old one…its ugly as poop, but it does the job. Right??

Do you have a fancy HRM??

Anyways, blab blab blab, back to burning fat with your weights! So if you’re freaking out about not getting that cardio in, but you LOVE weight lifting, don’t worry so much, you’re still getting a great burn by lifting! Just make sure you are lifting heavy enough that by the last rep you are fatigued and its a struggle for you to push that last dumbell press out….trust me, its easy to give up and only do 6 or 7 reps, but this is where your mind over matter comes in.

I have found with adding the cardio back in that 30 minutes is actually a LOT for me as I was used to only doing about 15-20 min of HIIT training before this program. My mind and body wanted to quit today after 10 minutes, but NO, I had to coach myself through it, set mini goals as I was cranking out David Guetta songs on my iPhone “one more song, you can do it, one more song” then I would roll into the next and the next. I went through my Gratitude List, practices my Speech for my Business Presentation coming up and Manifested great things into my life, all when rocking out my sweating body!

If I can do it, so can you!

As I mentioned yesterday, Fruit has been Blessing my Salads at dinner. Its like having a piece of naughty candy at dinner…gives me something to look forward to

Last night was the mighty Tangerine in my Big Green Salad Tornado!! BOOM!

With this glorious salad I had some nice egg whites made into a scramble My kinda simple dinner!

Ok, doll, I am now going to get myself beautiful for my morning Chiropractor appointment. Then of course, I will be getting a coffee and well, see where the day takes me…I.E. Whole Foods! BOOM!

Comment Below! Do you love lifting Heavy?? Do you use a HRM while working out??

To Your Glam Life,

Strawberry FroYo Peanut Butter Cup

by kris on May 8, 2012 in Breakfast, Desserts, Gluten Free, Recipes, Snacks

Happy Tuesday, Doll!

How are ya?

Surprise! I have a treat for you today!! Before we get into this treat…..

We’ll chat Eats.

Besides sleeping, sipping coffee, blogging and fitness, I love EATING! I swear eating 2000 + cals a day is not hard for me. It may be harder for me mentally, but physically, please, I’m a grazer, I’m a snacker, a midnight attacker and I freaking love it.

I can not go to Starbucks and have a coffee and not have a snack. Are you like this too?? I go and I bring a Baked Good {akkkhhhmmm Cinnamon Bun Protein Cake!} that I’ve made or I bring a Nutra Cookie and sip then nibble, sip then nibble…

This was morning yesterday. I sipped while Ryan had a Chiropractors appointment in West Vancouver…I was in calm heaven.

Then we wandered over to the beach after the sippin session and did some work!

I swear, we can do most of our business from our iPhones and it freaking ROCKS! Monday morning and we’re hanging at the beach…I think that means we have…..

HAHAHAHAH!!!

I’m so cheesy! I’m surprised you keep coming back LOL!

So I do eat other items besides the above, trust me.

Lately I’ve been in love with morning Greek Yogurt Protein Parfait!

This morning I’m having Cinnamon Yogurt Mousse with Pears and Blueberries.

I’ve also found that my Delicious Shakes are allowing girly chick muscles on!

I have added in some chicken to my diet….and eat this with a BIG green Salad. Over the last week I’ve been finding Fruit in my Salad to Speak to me. Its seriously da bomb when you find a Strawberry or a Piece of Pear kickin it with your Avocado. Drizzled with the Coconut Oil Dressing. Amazing.

Mmmmm…

Ok, ok, you know me, besides salads, I’ll also eat massive amounts of healthy treats….I swoon for them.

Strawberry FroYo Peanut Butter Cups:

*makes 1 cup

1 brown rice cake

1 tbsp peanut butter

2 tbsp greek yogurt

1 strawberry

1 tbsp vanilla protein powder {vi shape shake mix}

3 drops liquid stevia

To Make Strawberry FroYo Peanut Butter Cup: In a bowl combine the broken up rice cake and combine well with the peanut butter.

Place the peanut butter rice mixture into muffin liner. Press into a nice “crust”

In a blender blend the remaining ingredients to make a smooth mixture.

Spoon on the strawberry yogurt on top of the peanut butter crust and place in the freezer for at least 45 minutes.

Are these a little weird??? I know, but they are delicious and I’m grasping at Healthy Muscle Building Straws here!

Today I am off to Starbucks, off to a meeting, getting back to business, then some working out! Today is Chest and Abs!!! YES!

Comment Below! Do you make strange treats with whatever you have in the house??

To Your Glam Life,

Weekend Recap – Enter Phase 2

by kris on May 7, 2012 in Feel Good Fitness, Health & Wellness, My Daily Life

Happy Monday, Doll!

How are ya? I hope you had a great weekend!!

You know what I got up to on Satuday from my last blog post….I finished Phase 1 of the Jamie Eason LiveFit! Now, my friend, I blaze my trail with cardio…something I haven’t seen in 4 weeks, something I really don’t care for, but let me tell you, my saddle bags that have grown again LIKE it. Right about now I am freaking loving cardio if we can shred down my thighs and have my Wunder Unders feel good again.

Today I will ride the bike for 30 min. Kill me now.

The weekend was pretty ballin over here! Saturday was a very chill day, Ryan was relaxing and resting his legs for his big race yesterday! We did a big ot shopping Satuday….Momma finally got some new kicks!

Hello Gorgeous Feet Lovers!

I’m in love!

I know these Nike Free 4.0′s are the “running” fancies and are made to mold your feet, so I was supposed to walk in them before hitting the pavement running. Like hell I’d hit the pavement running after 4 weeks off cardio…jeez. But I did year them around the course as Ryan ran and I cheered. My feet KILLED! They are now getting used to the “proper” form in these runners and I hope to wear them today on the bike if all goes well

Sunday I was up at the butt crack of dawn again…5:20am to help Ryan get prepped for his first Full Marathon. My eyes felt glued shut at 7am when we had to get out of the cold car to walk to the start line. But he finished with a great time and he had fun

Yes, yes, I am a proud gal over here with her man in spandex….trust me he hears it daily from me

After race time we feasted!

Ryan fed his 2700 missing calories and I hugged my growing thighs with a salad.

I love salad!!

Dinner was Whole Foods Sushi after we came home and I got my work on, planned out my meals for Phase 2 coming up and getting prepped for a new week!

As I was finishing my sushi I staked the last 2 rolls up and Ryan said “this is you in your new heels and the avocado piece is me…”

High Five to my tall girls! WOOT WOOT!

Soooo into Phase 2 LiveFit! Today I have Back and Cardio to ROCK out! I’m thinking either 15 min Elliptical and 15 min Bike…or a nice jog….hmmm

I’m to keep my hefty cals up to around 2000 a day and not change that until Phase 3, but I’ll see how I do. Honestly I felt better before eating less cals and fitting into my wunder unders than gaining this muscle mass, but ask me at the end how I feel I’ll be adding in more chicken at lunch I think as it keeps me very full with a big bowl of greens, try to limit my nuts i love my dang nuts} and increase veggies or maybe have greek yogurt instead of multiple nuts…..

This challenge has totally sent me into a spiral. I want to have the faith that this is working and Jamie Eason is a Fitness Goddess…but seriously my thighs grew 3 sizes I swear last month. Ok, not that much, but I feel it. Trust me. I felt I was in primo body before this program but couldn’t gain muscle mass, so not I feel I’ve stepped back. I must must MUST Trust the lady who looks uber hot and competes that this will work Right?? Thank You Jamie Eason!

Ok, its time for me to hit the road, head to an appointment and then get a coffee. Muster up my energy to get back into cardio and enjoy the ride!
