California Vacation w/ the Cuthbertson's!!

Been having a great time in California!! Hubby and I arrived on Aug 14!! Flew in and headed straight to SanDiego Zoo!! We had a wonderful time! From then on we were able to have some good quality time w Lauren and Beau!! I loved walking behind Lauren and watching her "waddle"!! We saw pictures of her during her pregnancy But seeing her in person was "priceless"!! Due date came and gone!! (Aug22)  we started to get nervous about the plan of action the doctors wanted to take w/ Lauren's due date passed....said we had to wait a week and 4 days! So....induction was scheduled for Monday night Sept 2 at 7 pm!! Sounds great except Jhon was do to leave on fri at 2 and my hubby on Tues!! Well we know The Lord is in total control and Guinevere!! So on Thur evening as we were at Charlie and Kim's house contractions started!! Guinevere came at 9:55 am on Friday morning!! She allowed her "Uncle Jhon" to see her real quick before he left for the airport! Her grandpa was able to spend the weekend plus Monday w/ her!! God is so very good!! Still praising God with yet another blessing my hubby made it back home!

Didn't have a weights here at the house so hubby and I were able to "run/walk" outside almost every day!! What a blessing!!

  But thru all that my Pastor has been very sick with Fever now more than 2 weeks. He is still sick and weak Please keep him in your prayers!

 I still get to be here one more week her w my girls....Lauren and Guinevere!! 

Checking in on my food...haven't done real bad but haven't done super good either! But trying to make good choices!! Was on a sugar cleanse before I came but about a week and a half into being here I ate some sugar, now have had some on several occasions :( Started to get back on watching sugar and reading the info on "21 day Sugar Detox". I do know when I stay away from sugars I tend to be better about making good food choices plus I feel way better!! Would love some partners along with me on the Detox!! 

I want to get back to "blogging" and researching food!! 

Comment below if you want to brag on some good food choices you made!! And use the space to share a "praise"! 

Need motivation?? Hopefully.....

I want to help motivate and encourage good health! This helps me to stay on track,also!! Please feel free to join in and add some comments and likes! I will plan on adding a workout of the day here as well as a challenge we can all strive to do over a months time! I did do the leg workout and about to do the "Burpee" challenge day 1. (As Tony Horton (P90X)would say..) who's with me?? And..Stay with me

Add in the comment when you commit to the challenge and or when it's complete!! Small steps to great victory!! I also want to start a "24 day challenge" text/call/pm me if interested! Have an awesome "sparky" day!! 

 

Athletic performance!

I've been searching, asking, trying new products since my first trainer (3yrs ago) told me about N.O. Xplode a pre workout drink! Your suppose to switch it up after using it for a while. I've tried ALL sorts of drinks asked lots of people! All that to say...those of u who know me know how hard the last Year and half has been with weight gain and not having the ENERGY to RUN! Well thanks to Christina B who told me about SPARK and O2GOLD! And sharing her friend Ruth w me!! 

Wow really has helped me needless to say my running miles and time speak loudly! Today I ran 5 miles in one hour and a few minutes! Haven't done that in like 2 years! Some of u might say "here she goes again" but that's okay because I found a product and a company that works for ME!! PtL! So...If anyone is interested please message me, call me whatever you know my heart and passion is to help others! Looking forward to getting on more supplements and see how much better I can get! I'm also wanting to start a 24 day challenge looking for someone to join me!! Look at my new web site: http://www.advocare.com/130610355

Thanks more to come!

Are you a "weekend waister" (pun intended)

How are you on the weekends?? Are you like me lately where you "waist" away all your hard work in the week to "blow" it on the weekend?? The big saying going around is......Abs are made in the kitchen!! I have NOT been being consistent at all!! Time for me to get sEriOUs!!! real sEriOUs!!! Lets get started on this 21days to change or make a new habit!! How many said they wanted to loose weight for the summer?? On APRIL 22 it will be 60 days till SUMMER!! That's a good day to start!!

I taught in weight watcher meetings that we need to plan a"CHEAT MEAL" not a Cheat DAY!! I have my daughter coming in this next week and we have a few treats scattered through a few days!! I have to pick and choose what "treats" I'm indulging on!! hELp!!

I'm behind because of the rainy weather on Thur. We didn't have boot camp! As of Wednesday afternoon ALICE lost 9 lbs!! She is doing great!! Making great fOOd choices and pushing hard each time @ sTg boot camp!! I'm so proud of her!! Next week an update on AliSon!!

Hope this HELPS or ENCOURAGE someone!!

What was your choice of fitness today??

It takes 21 days to make or break a habit!!

Try to work in a NEW VEGETABLE AND OR FRUIT this week and share how you liked it!! Or try cooking your vegetable different or eating it raw!! Share your results!!

Remember to TRACK YOUR FOOD!! there is a lot of different types of apps, if you have a "smart" phone!! Examples: my fitness pal, or diet snaps so you can track with pictures and you can "time stamp" it! And then you have a visual of all the things you ate!! I use both apps! Also on the diet snaps you can track and take a picture of your workout. Example: I do 30 mins on the stairs at the gym I can take a picture of the "machine" and can capture my stats also! If you walk out side take a picture of your feet!! And track your time /miles!! Hope this helps! Have a great evening.

Going to share Jillian's top 10: stay tuned will share weekly!!

“HERE IS MY TOP-TEN MUST-AVOID-WHENEVER-POSSIBLE LIST:
1. Trans fat, aka hydrogenated oils. Trans fats, used to enhance and extend the shelf life of food products, are among the most dangerous substances you can consume. They’re often found in deep-fried fast foods and certain processed foods made with margarine or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Numerous studies show that trans fats increase LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels while decreasing HDL (“good”) cholesterol; they increase the risk of heart attacks, heart disease, and strokes; and they contribute to increased inflammation, diabetes, and other health problems.
Found in: any vegetable oil that has been hydrogenated (hydrogenated soybean oil, hydrogenated safflower oil, etc.), margarine, chips and crackers, baked goods, and most fast foods.”

FiT FriDaY!!

Workout Wednesday!!!

What was or will be your workout choice for today??
I did 65 mins on treadmill, 5 miles ( ran 3.75) picture shows my steps before I officially start my day!! Goal should be 10K for the day!!
PtL don't let days go by without taking time to care for body, eat right and exercise!
Love on your family!! But most of all thank and praise The Lord that gave you lasting life if you accept Christ as Savior!!

Muscle Monday!!!

I tend to focus on lots of CARDIO!! Which is good except... Need to add in STRENGTH TRAINING!! Building muscle helps you KEEP burning fat even when your not working out.

You're going to start with weight training, which is like the fountain of youth, an anti-gravity miracle that helps tighten and tone your body from head to toe. When you add more lean muscle to your frame, your metabolism increases even more. That means you'll burn more body fat, even while at rest....Jamie Easton

I'm working on doing strength training along w/ cardio! (Turbo Fire , walking, running, cycling ect...) I like workout videos that use muscle confusion! (P90X)


So......what's your workout for today???
Me?? I did treadmill and finally did my yoga!!

BootCamp...........

Would anyone be interested in attending a BootCamp?? Post here!! Also what times are good for you!! (I'll be hosting it, and working out also!!) ropes tires weight balls lunges...ect...stay tuned!!

Meet "Duchess"

The newest member of our family!! 5 wks old!!

SPINACH!!

If you want to get a full serving of spinach!! This is 3oz, or 2 cups, or 85 grams!! Make sure you measure to count as a serving!! I love to add it into my smoothies!! How do u eat spinach!!??

fabulous fiT fRidAy!!

Do you have any fitness goals for today? if so DiD you acomplish them already? if not then there is time still left in the dAy!! I started my day off with the alarm clock chiming in at 4:20 am! off to the gYm with my hubby (which I love so much!!) did the treadmill on an incline of 7 and walk a slow steady pace! Yes Jillian i did hold on to the hand rails!! I've been fighting off and on being sick ugh! Then I did the row machine, which is used alot on the biggest loser, for 10 mins. then the stairs for 7 minutes. I ran out of time!! Dropped my Hubby off at work. Then I pulled out the "mother of all exercise " (Tony's words!!) Ployometics!! jump training!! heard of it?? real beneficial to any and all your types of workouts! then last but not least Turbo Fire 15 HiiT workout!! will explain that (HiiT)  in a later post.
My Passion is to learn and teach fitness!! and to help others! bear w/me while i "tweak" what works best for me and sharing w/ others!
I went back to what I know worked best for me and that was being a TEAM BEACHBODY COACH (if interested push the side bar on the right and it will go to my web site!!) and using the products from them! so join me, or watch from the sidelines and jump aboard at any time!! Would love some feedback and questionS!!
HAve an awesome fiT fRidAy!!!

Trying new pre-work out drink!!

Turbo time!!

Caesar dressing and salad!!

Yum! Made my dressing from the recipes meal from Young and raw!

Healing digest juice!!

Day one first juice!!

my desire.....Luke 21: 34-36

verse 34: And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day com upon you unawares.
well what does surfeiting mean? an excessive amount of something, an illness caused by excessive eating or drinking, cause(someone) to desire no more of something as a result of having consumed or done to excess, consume too much of something
wow does that get our attention??!! it should!! Using this verse as a help and a reminder !!

what are the thoughts, or things that you promised to change this year?? Read our Bibles more? Eat Less? Move More? have a Healthy Lifestyle?? Exercise More?? How are you doing? The word Balance has been coming to my thoughts a lot in studies and in preaching! I'm desiring to have a better balanced lifestyle! Right now in my life, my main focus is my HUSBAND, my relationship with MY LORD, CHURCH, I absolutely LOVE my GRAND KIDS and SPENDING TIME with them!! I like to RUN and do workouts, I am juicing, lots of VEGETABLES and FRUITS, I find this is the best,and healthiest option for me, with loosing that last pounds!! It seems to work the best in helping me make the right food choices!!. My desire is be a LIFE COACH and a PERSONAL TRAINER adding in BIBLE and some good old fashion standards!! Jump on board and be a part of this JOURNEY with me!!

Good morning!!

Love this!!
