I shared some pictures from this summer's vacay with friends and it was so motivating to hear all things good about how great I looked and how I've lost "a lot of weight"
I've not done sit ups in a while neither have I been running. But the other day I walked into the local store and they had a sale for oatmeal and all the healthy breakfast condiments. And really who has such a sale? right? So my awesome best person grabbed me a bunch of heart healthy oatmeal and vanilla extract. And guess what? this morning I had filling loaded oatmeal for breakfast. My loaded oatmeal contains; 1/2 cuppa oats, a tbs of brown sugar, a tbs of vanilla extract, a handful of raisins, a handful of cranberries and a dash of freshly ground cinnamon. Absolutely delish and filling :) I greatly recommend you try if you already haven't.
Besides that its kinda slow in my neck of the woods. But I'll be back soon with more updates.
Y'all have a week full of healthy eating and drinking choices
XO!!!

Weekend Update/Week's Goals
I'd like to start by giving a shout out to my blog buddy, Shan over at themewithin . Please drop by her blog and read her encounters as she travels the weight loss road as we all are. She's an amazing woman who has passion for her family, life and career and is striving to become healthier and lose weight. So please if you read my blog stop by hers and say hello :) And ask you other readers at your blog too as well.
I don't how I did this weekend and as we all know that probably means I did not do that gooooood. On Saturday I skipped pancakes for breakfast and had an early lunch of plain chicken broth rice. For dinner, on the other hand, all hell broke lose because I got home and I was FAMISHED!!! My best person made me this Johnsonville sausages I've been eyeing for a while and they were ridiculously yum. I had 2 by myself gggrrrhh and then for dinner had a small portion of home made fries with spinach :)
On Sunday for breakfast, I had 2 slices of whole wheat toast w scrambled eggs. And for lunch dinner leftovers. For dinner I had a cheeseburger and for a midnight snack (bad idea!) a huuuge chocolate chip cookie.
During the weekend I also had countless cocktails. Shoot me! LOL I didn't go running on both Saturday & Sunday. However, I did not indulge me in as any sweets/seconds/snacks (besides the cookie tonight) but I think I made up for that in my cocktails *sigh*
This week I'd like to see some changes. Especially because I absolutely do great during the week and then the minute the weekend shows face it all goes downhill. I mean I still observe portion control but it's the things I eat ( ate precisely) this weekend because other weekends I'm within my set boundaries. Anyway I digress. Most importantly I'm taking my lessons from this weekend with me to next weekend. And I believe I'll do better. Mental Note: It's just not right to have 2 Johnsonville sausages (loaded with fat & sodium), canned corn beef (again loaded with tons of fat and sodium) and cheeseburger (AGAIN!!!loaded with all the bad stuff) all in one weekend. *SMH*
Another motivational change I've noticed. Even my rings fit better. Yessssss :) It's the small things that count!!!
This coming week I'd like to drink more water. I'll start off wit my 1000ml bottle a day :) I can do this because I know my whole life I've drunk tons of water to the point where I've surprised myself as well as others. I'm so going back to that me. Water. Water. Water. I'll flush out my system this week and open up my pores :) For breakfast it's going to be my usual loaded oatmeal, for lunch this week I'm considering tuna salad sandwich, seeing as I've a lot of albacore canned tuna and a can of olives. All I need is a few more ingredients and I will whip up some tuna salad. Anyone with a good tuna salad recipe? please share it with me on my comments section or shoot me an e-mail at overweightinsocal @ gmail (dot) com. Thank you much in advance! For dinner hmmmm just may be a small bowl of rice will some steamed mixed veggies (w a dash of salt, pepper and butter) I should have dinner figured out by tomorrow so I let you know then.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and wish everyone a great week full of healthy eating and drinking choices as well as working out :)
GO US!!!

One of those days
Ever had one of those days when you don't want to work out? not because you're tired but just because you don't feel up to it? One of those days where you can't seem to find the keys because they're usually on the table but for some reason today they ended up in your purse. And well we all know how the purse story goes you, digging for things you well know are in there but you can't seem to dig out when needed. One those days when you can't get off your tush to get in your work out clothes. One of those days you justify not running that day, give yourself a pep talk, agree that its ok tomorrow is another day and tomorrow come rain or high tides you'll be out there running. I've to confess I have in the past had one of those days where I've justified not running today but promised myself to run tomorrow and tomorrow just never seemed to come for me.
So today as I sat on the couch going back and forth with myself whether to go running or not, I remembered how in the past 'tomorrow' never came and decided to go anyway. So very slowly I go into my work out clothes and hit the neighborhood 3 mile run pretty hard and did it well under 30mins. I'm living for the day I can do it under 20mins :) that day is coming I just know it. Yay!!!
I hope this encourages anyone reading this to not slack off but to push yourself today and go work out and make healthy eating/drinking choices :)
P.S. Each day I've an epic fall with my plan to eat before 8pm :( but I'll keep trying
