Lost my mind!

-
So I've been MIA this summer. Lots been going on but just couldn't get it all down to put on paper.  I went on  vacation this summer which was fun and I actually got some workouts in and managed to eat fairly healthy.  I actually did very well this summer with working out and losing weight. But I'll blog about that later. 

Today what brought me out of my blogger hiding place was my birthday weekend. Last Friday was my birthday and apparently I lost my mind.  I ate like it was nobody's business.  The day before my birthday hubby and I and our son went for pizza. It was sooo good. I miss pizza.  It's my weakness. I had 3 small slices.
  


Friday I ate pretty well. I made my first ever guacamole dip. It was so good.  I ate a chicken and guacamole on whole wheat for lunch on Saturday but afterwards we went for cupcakes!  I got a red velvet cupcake from a shop called Allegria. I mean it was my birthday it was allowed!  LOL
Then for dinner we went to an Asian Noodle Bar. I had the stir fry beef with jasmine rice.  It was alright but the stir fry was too salty.

 

Sunday my brothers and sister wanted to help me celebrate my birthday so we all headed to my parents house where we had Pollo Tropical, I had the rice and black beans with chicken. Then for dessert my birthday cake was an ice cream cake!  So yes more sugar.  LOL

Let's not focus that they spelled my name wrong. lol


I of course skipped dinner that evening. I think I just had a piece of fruit.
I usually run on Sundays but it was raining so that meant no working out for me.

So you'd think I would eat better since I hadn't worked out since last Tuesay but nooooo Monday I ate pizza again for lunch!!! 2 large slices and half!  Then for lunch today I had a chicken salad bowl from Chipotle!  Don't let the word salad fool you folks anything this is a high calorie meal since their portions are so large.  So I know I over did it and if I didn't know it my stomach is telling me that I did.  I'm so bloated I look four months pregnant.  Blah.....

Tonight I finally got to the gym. It's always good to have a workout buddy.  I think we gossiped more than we worked out but we still got a good one in tonight!  LOL 

Anyway this is my new haircut.  Decided to get some new hair with my new body.



Fit and fab in 2011!! I'll get back on it this week!

I Rocked and Rolled!!

Last Sunday I ran my first half marathon!  I ran the  Rock N Roll Latin Music Miami Beach Half Marathon. I know in my previous post I said that my first would be in January but this opportunity fell into my lap and I couldn't say no.  So I laced up my sneaks, attached my heart rate monitor and put on my bib number and ran 13.1 miles.  Ok it wasn't that simple but to say I was nervous was an understatement.  I was so nervous that I went into total denial about the whole thing.  My running mates would ask me if I was excited and I'd say yes but in my mind I would be thinking that there was no way in hell that I was running this race. I was so much in denial that I didn't book my hotel room until the night before I was supposed to head down to South Beach. After that I went to put my race gear together.  My sports bra, my "Black Girls Run" tshirt, my capris, socks, sneakers, and my ankle brace. I had my energy gels and water bottle ready to go....

Eating Right....

So I found that eating right can be so difficult. Which shouldn't be so surprising because if it was easy everyone would be doing it. But you'd think the food companies would want us all to eat right and live long prosperous lives instead of manufacturing a bunch of food with no nutritional value and potentially harmful additives.  I mean if we're all dead, who's going to eat the food? Let's take Doritos for example. No doubt there are million of these cheesy tortilla chips being gobbled tonight as people watch the Super Bowl. I couldn't help but share a little tidbit about this snack. I was at a meeting on Friday at work where we were given lunch. I opened my lunch box and found a bag of Doritos in there to my horror. I wanted to trade them for something else and found an abandoned bag of Kettle Chips. So I flipped it over and read the ingredient list. There was three things listed. Potato, vegetable oil and sea salt.  I flipped over the bag of Dorit...

Running!!!

It's been a while since I've added to my series of "Exercises I do so you don't have too....." I didn't think I tried anything that I haven't mentioned already until I started thinking about running. That's when it dawned on my that I haven't shared my new love! Running, what a great sport.  You don't need any expensive equipment. It can be done anywhere, at anytime with anyone or alone.   But let me tell you running with someone really pushes you to go faster and longer.  I run with a group of ladies from my running group Black Girls Run .  This is a phenomenal group. Met some wonderful ladies who want to stay active and fit. We meet up once or twice a week depending on our schedules. We support each other and push each other to run faster and longer than we probably would on our own.  I've really taken to running.  I never thought that I could more more than a mile. Now I'm up to 6 miles.  So if you've been thinking about go...
