Weight: 199.6
Workout: Yoga
Breakfast: 2/3 c oatmeal, 1 tbsp flax seed, and 1 tsp brown sugar
Snack: Scrambled eggs and half a toasted roll
Lunch:
Snack: Chips and Dip
Dinner: Tacos
When I was younger, and yes I know I am not old, but when I was in my early teens I remember thinking to myself I should do yoga! It's easy and its working out and its going to get me flexible.
Well....I never did it, and now that I am in my mid 20's I find out how truly mistaken I really was :)
It is suppose to be relaxing and it probably would be, but I didn't wake up early enough. The dvd was around 1 1/2 hrs and it had nice music playing in the back ground and at the very end they try to have you center your self spiritually. It probably would work if I didn't have my 2 children and my nephew running around.
I think next week when I do yoga again I will do it at the end of the day instead of the beginning. I can truly see myself finishing it and be completely relaxed and destressed from my day.
Lately though I have been having the munchies. I know its not good, but its dips and cheese balls and a few cookies from New Years that I need to get rid of. I know I am justifing eating these foods because if I don't then they will go bad and I will have to through them out and I do not want to be wasteful. However I am aware of what I am doing.

Were are my Detachable Arms?
Weight: 199.8 (YEAH!)
Work out: Shoulder and Arms, Abs (Day 3)
Breakfast: 2/3 c oatmeal, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1tbsp flax seed
Snack: granola thin, one taste of brownie batter, one bite of baked brownies
Lunch: Reliv Shake
Snack: brownie (damn you Erik and James for making that the punishment for losing in pool), hot dog, and wheat thins and cheese ball (yeah I was bad today)
Dinner: Fried Rice
I know it's not a lot of weight loss, but day 3 and 1 lb less is an accomplishment. We need to celebrate accomplishments, great or small, small accomplishments get small celebrations and when we get large accomplishments there will be large celebrations!
I woke up and was actually able to move my arms more than I could on Tuesday. Which is good since the workout was Shoulder and Arms and Abs. The workout was good until I got to Abs. You don't really know how sore those things are until you try and do the moves again! Even though I was sore I was able to do the same if not even more reps than the first time.
In fact I could have turned off the sound this morning on the Abs since I didn't need Tony to tell me to keep going when I had my 3yr old sitting next to me trying to do the moves and telling me to "keep exercise Mom." :)
Today I will start the process of sprouting sprouts, I think. I have some things that need to be done today. For starters we (the Salanoa/Loa househould) will be losing one of our guests, but will be gaining a new guest tomorrow. The Salanoa Loa Hotel is always open :) So needless to say there needs to be some cleaning done. Not like there is always so cleaning that needs to be done with 3 kids in the home. As well as I have Young Womens tonight and as the secretary I still need to get a few things put together as the new year has just begun.
Most importantly today I am going to try to have some continual movement so as to not get stiff!
10 hours later....
Yeah I know I was bad today, and it might show on the scale tomorrow morning...but...I'm real! I have my moments where I want to eat and I really had no motivation to fold my laundry or to do anything else and when that happens, my cravings usually win over my will. Just one more thing to work on, or work off :) Tomorrow I shouldn't have any problems because I DEFINITELEY have to clean tomorrow. And maybe the next day after I will do some more baking, because I can bake and send it away and it keeps me busy.

Day 2
Weight: 200.8
Workout: Plyometrics
Breakfast: 2/3 c cooked oatmeal with 1 tsp brown sugar and 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
Snack: 1 christmas cookie
Lunch: Reliv Shake
Snack:
Dinner: 2 slices of pizza and a fried chicken thigh
I really wanted to stay in bed this morning, its really great when there is no little mini me in between me and my love. I some how was able to force my self out of bed. Yes I am sore!
Plyo, thank heavens (at least for right now), was more of lower body and jumping and twisting. I would not have been able to do any push ups today if my life depended on it. In fact at the end of the workout one of the first cool down stretches was downward facing dog, and lets just say my downward facing dog turned into an all four position :)
Today, I have resolved to eat a little healthier. (at least for today) I am going to start taking out food for my lunch and replacing it with a shake. My mother and father are distributors of a product called reliv. And there is a product they sell that is a meal replacement, it is called slimplicity. I have strawberry and it is great with some frozen strawberries, half a banana, and orange juice. I am also adding a tbsp of ground flax seed.
Side note: I write my post in the morning and just update my meals as the day continues.
So what is this flax seed?
F is for fiber. 2 tbsp gives you 4 grams of fiber, as much as 1-1/2 c of cooked oatmeal. It also helps drop LDL cholesterol
L is for lignans. Lignans are natural antioxidants, and flax seed contains high levels of them. 2 tbsps of flax seed will give you as many lignans as much as 30 cups of fresh broccoli.
A is for Alpha-linolenic Acid. Alpha-linolenic Acid is a kind of omega-3 fatty acid found in plants. It is similar to the omega-3 fatty acids that are in fish oil. The oil in flax seed is about 50% alpha-linolenic acid, the next highest sources have about 10%. 2 tbsp have 2400 milligrams of omega 3.
X is for excellent choice. There’s some evidence it may help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.
As the weeks go on, I will be adding a few new things to my daily meal/routine. There will be a liver cleanse that I will do every morning, and I will being adding sprouts more so to my meals (thanks for my Chirstmas present Mom). Who knows what else I will do, but I plan on updating you with information and why I am doing what I am doing in hopes that you may be able to learn something or even want to try some of these things in your life style change. Who really knows if they will help boost the weight loss, but eating healthier is something that will make me feel better!
It is the end of the evening and my husband wants to make fun of me because I didn't want to eat and munch on things this afternoon, so today I had to find something to do that would keep me busy. What did I decide to do....Make and Decorate Cookies :) If you want to see what I did you can go check out our (my sis and I) facebook page Burns No More.

Day 1
Morning weigh in weight: 200.4 lbs
Workout for the day: Shoulders and Back, and Ab Ripper
Breakfast: 1/3 c dry oatmeal cooked in 2/3 c water (so I would like to say 2/3c cooked oatmeal but in reality it doesn't really equal that)
Snack: Cutie orange
Lunch: 2 Hot Dogs, a few tator tots, 3 homemade potato skins and some chips and dip
Dinner: Creamy Broccoli Soup and a roll
Motivation was not what I had this morning. Instead I had a nice warm bed, two cuddle buddies, darkness, and heavy eyelids!
I did however get my big butt out of the bed and down the stairs to exercise. I was a bit nervous thinking that my shoulder/arm pit might be a bit more of a problem than what it was. I had just gone shooting on Saturday so it's still a bit sore. However it wasn't that much of an issue and the workout was pretty good.
Lots of pushups and lots of pullups. I however do not have a pull up bar and I personally feel that I would not have been able to get much of a workout if I had. Instead I used weight bands and put them in the top of my door frame, because lets face it 1. my ceiling isn't as high as the studio they filmed in 2. I don't have a bar or hook on my ceiling and 3. the top of the door worked just fine!
Abs were killer and there is no way I would have been able to do as many as they did or as fast as they did.

What in the World am I Thinking?
I had decided 2 years ago that I was going to lose the weight I had gained! Which now brings me to this blog. I have not lost any weight since then. For awhile I had started to lose some, but life happens, dedication dies off, and well I'm not the greatest eater in the world. I had gained back and have since put on. I am a weight I told myself I would never be, I am in a jean size I told myself I would never be, and I am not happy with it at all.
So here I am:
-I am a Woman with to much voluptuousness below my waist (at least for my liking)
-I LOVE breads, sweet breads, breads with butter and well pretty close to any type of bread
-I am a Domestic Engineer and at times a Domestic Diva :)
-I have 2 beautiful girls and an Amazing Husband that loves me and is still attracted to me, even though I find myself unappealing
-I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which plays a huge part in my life and all that I do
-I am a Daughter, a Sister, a Mom, an Aunt, and a Child of God
-I love having a good time with family and friends and kicking my husbands butt in Dr. Mario :)
I like to consider myself a lot like the average woman who is a stay at home mom. I know I am not the only person who deals and struggles with self image, weight and eating healthy. My mission for this blog is to workout every day except Sunday doing P90x and to try and eat healthier. I will post my workout that I did, I will post my measurements (as scary as that is for me), I will post what I ate (and trust me it will not be what the p90x program says because I do not like fish, I can handle tuna, but not anything else), and I will post my struggles, trials and accomplishments.
I hope that by reading this you can find the strength, encouragement, desire, or what ever else you need to help make you a better YOU!
