As I sit to write this blog, I am eating my breakfast...Healthy Choice 100 Cal pack Maple and brown sugar oatmeal and a slim fast shake. Let me revise that I am trying to choke down this slimy chunky bowl of disgusting people call oatmeal. Thankfully my slim fast is going down easier! Last night I decided to make brown rice and chicken with a little bit of soy sauce....brown rice FAIL! I tried 2x to cook it. The first time it was under cooked and gross. I started over and the second time I over cooked it and it was slimy. I cannot do slimy textures....I was able to eat 3 small bites of oatmeal this morning before I couldn't do it anymore....yuck! Yesterday morning I ate vanilla yogurt 80 cals, and a table spoon of Chocolate chunk granola and that was hard too...I. Hate. Yogurt. Why is healthy food taste like poop? and Junk food taste so good? Someone needs to do something about that! Oh and I hate bananas...they make me puke. Even the smell :/
What are your go to breakfast health foods?
Today's training was great! I stretched really good this morning since I woke up really sore from the yoga dvd. I did the first Walk/Run plan, Walk or Run for a minute then alternate 8 times. I also did a minute before and after of cool down/warm up walk. A total of 10 minutes-.68 mile and 96 cal burned. Tomorrow Yoga and I have a date :)

*Small Note*
Today I started my workout routine, I did my 5 min walk for my walk/run training, My first round of Yoga...Wowzer! And I even did 2000 Sweat points on Just Dance 2. After some research I have figured out the 100 sweat points = 10 cals. And I earned 2000 in 5, 3-2 1/2 min songs! And its fun!! I also figured out that the Yoga Meltdown Level one burns around 200 cals. I am so proud that I got through my first day of my training and even did some JD2! But boy were my arms burning! I can't believe how inflexible I have become....after all those years of dance, my body is nowhere near as flexible, and its harder to get it to move! So that just means that this is one more thing I can look forward to, my body becoming stronger and more flexible!
*Update*
So I finished my meals for the day since its 7pm and we usually go to bed between 9:30 and 10 pm. I did amazingly well today. I managed to eat a little over 1200 cals, which I'm allowed 1,774 but set myself at no more than 1500. I have consumed 37 g of fat and 135 carbs. Today was so great, I was never starving and stayed pretty energized! I am so excited and proud!

Planning the transformation
So I decided to blog more about my plan of action and goals, seems the more I talk about it the more I want it. I have set alarms on my phone to remind me when to work out & take my multivitamin, since I always forget to take it. For the first 15 weeks of "training" (I think training is a more awesome-r word than working out, and it sounds more important) So for the first 15 weeks of training I will be following a 5k training program. It consists of walk/run days starting with only walking 5 min the first day and working up to a full 30 min run by the end of the 15 weeks. On Tues, Thurs and Sat are my Run/Walk training days. Tomorrow I will Run/walk 8 min, doing one minute of each after another...1 min. of run, 1 min. of walk. Mon. & Weds. are my Walk days...after the first week on these days I will be walking only 15 min, then adding sit-ups. I also Added yoga to these days, and Friday is supposed to be a rest day but I will do Yoga that day as well. The Yoga video I have is the Jillian Micheal's Yoga Meltdown..Here.
Here is a look at my walk/Run training Schedule:
I have my own work out area in our home, since last year I got a treadmill, Chris got his Dial weights and I have a calendar in the area for my work outs. I have already wrote out the 15 weeks of what I need to do each day. Also on the calendar I have my weigh in days (Every 2 weeks) and Rest days and yoga days. Once I finish this program I will start the 30 day shred with Jillian Micheal's.....Shred away Here! I will do this 30 minute workout everyday for 30 days and every other day alternate running and yoga.
Last night I ordered the ZUMBA Fitness Dvd's. I have so many friends that swear by it and unfortunately where I live there is 0 classes available, they are either booked up or unheard of! So, after the 30 day shred I will be Zumba-ing in my living room :) My plan then is to tackle P90X which we also have from last year...tried once and FAILED miserably...but not this time TONY!
So the 15 week training will take me 3 1/2 months. I will run and yoga for the rest of that month (April) and in May Start the 30 day shred, so by June, Me and zumba will be on our date to fun and fitness. I will mix in Zumba, Yoga and running during the summer and in Sept. I will start p90x! This will bring me into December and one month from my goal! December I will have so many options to "train"! How exciting is that?
As for my nutrition, the past 2 days have been completely confusing to me...what should I eat at what time? How many calories are ok? What about fruits and veggies do those count? I only ate 1,100 calories yesterday and was starving! Lost & CONFUSED! However in some crazy way my homework for my nutrition this weekend was to record everything I ate and drank for 3 days. I input these plus my weight, height, age, weight loss goals ect. into mydietanalysis program and it told me everything I needed to know. Last night I Had to submit my reports for this from the website, and it also gave a recommendation option:
How nifty is that? The rest of the report shows vitamins and minerals ect. So now that I am less confused, a little more confident and completely organized, I am ready to watch the transformation
