Carey's normal life

Good morning Day 2 of working out and eating right and I was impressed by the scale already. Eating clean is in my opinion the most important part of any weight loss process. My diet now consist of protein in every meal fruit and veggies that's it... Ok we'll you caught me most the know me know I do not have many clutches except... COFFEE I did not give it up, but I am only drinking 1 cup a day. I will post on a weekly schedule so you. An see my transformation daily can get ridiculous and people get bored. So here it goes people I'm so excited btw day 1 and already lost 2.6 lbs :) wahoooooo... Go me go me

Somedays are easier than others as they say.. I have been running in High Speed all day long. Today is Day 2 of our 25 day Challenge and I had a hard time going around the house it gets so dark so early so my orginal plan was to take a photo of my kitchen table (which is were we spend so much of our time) and then I was going to take a photo of what I see outside my beautiful picture window but it was so dark it was to hard to get anything.  Bummer So I went around the house and took photos of things that meant alot to me. Here they are Day 2 - inside my home - I love all of these through my home but dream is something I believe we all need to do every day Day 2 - inside my home - not part of the assignment however when I got home today they were on my table so beautiful thank you Silvia Gridley Cavan and my love Steve Aker I have these all through my house.. Each child has one they live by this one is Brandi Burns Day 2 - inside my home - My style and of cou...

So the start of a new thing for me is 25 days to document my life sounds soooo simple.. Guess what allot harder than they make it sound right.. Right. So yesterday as I am very excited to learn more and take better photos what a great idea to give me inspiration but to do a challenge and give me a sense of accomplishment. I have been carrying my camera with me everywhere just so I don't miss a beat because everything happens to me when I am not ready for it.. and I curse to reach around to the back seat and guess what all I can do is watch in awe as my camera is sitting on a shelf in my house.. Another day bummer :( So yesterday as I get home from having this awesome idea with my friend Jeannette and ready to pounce while the iron is hot (because we know my life is like a whirl wind I never know when I am going to have time).  So I am all excited and ready to get it done.  I change my uniform and sigh so happy to take off my work boots and put on some sweats and ...

Wow between laundry, kida, animals and home improvements I am usually trying to find time to work out.. However; today I kept thinking in the back of my head when you gonna do it.. common Carey when you gonna do it.. I love this person who talks to me because she motivates me.  I did have the you know its the weekend who is gonna know BUT I know and I don't want to cheat myself I need to keep this going because I want to have a fit body, mind and soul.. So I crushed Turbo Fire today however I am still trying to keep up with it I did get most of it and the parts that I knew I added more to it to make it worth my while.  Granted my body isn't sore like when I did P90X and Insanity but I feel it doing something.. It has made me wonder if I am doing something wrong but I am still going to keep going no matter what. So I ate Coffee (Downfall) But I drank it Black I need a hell yea for that one 2 cups 1 Banana Shakeology 1 bowl and not a large one of Fiber type cherios actu...

Talk about a day.. It was a great day over all and had all the greatest intentions of working out as soon as I walked in the door but once I did finally get home and do a bit of running.. Kids to dance and such I was exhausted and was talking myself out of everything including working out. I think eating a BIG Ole calzone my husband made me was my deciding factor.  My husband will not be making my pizza's or calzones again it was so big and good but I ate anyways even though I knew it was a bad idea. So about 730 pm i decided I was going to hammer this workout no matter what I did 45 Fire.. Guess what I did the wrong workout on the wrong day.. But at least it was a workout and I gave it 110%. So now I have the right schedule and Im on track once again I will continue my journey and I have gone through one wall of trying to talk myself out of working out.. Be back tomorrow because quit is not in my dictionary.

Before I started this Journey I did take before photos and I did take all my stats. Currently I am only 5'2" which at this point puts me in the obese catagory from the weight standards.  I don't feel overweight but I am not happy with out I look in the mirror.  This motivation makes me want to change how I look in my own mirror with my own eyes.  I have never really cared to much about what others have thought of me which has made me survive my whole life.  With that said here it goes. Weight: 158.2 WW Scale :D Chest: 38 1/2" R Arm: 12 3/4" L Arm: 12 3/4" Waist: 34 1/2" Hips: 43" L Leg: 25" R Leg: 25 1/2" I will update all these stats in 15days time.  With that will come some new photos I think.. So check back often so maybe I can help motivate you to change your life.

So Day 4 Week 1 of Turbo Fire.. So far I am in love with this program.  I have done well and really enjoyed the workout today.  I will be posting photos soon so you can see my before photos and what my measurements were.  If I told you the story behind the photos you would be sure to laugh.  My daughter watched me on day one and was making comments about my dairy aire however I did tell her that if she didn't watch it she would be blessed with the same thing at 39. Today I ate Oatment (not the good stuff) Strawberries and cream Handful of Almonds for Snack A sandwich for lunch (400 Calories) Yogurt (Snack) Shackology and dinner I had fish and rice I am working harder on my diet but working within a budget for a family of six is a bit difficult so I am working on portion control and trying to keep a healthy eating habits. More to come.
