Day 47-Small Victories!

Daddy decided to take us out to dinner tonight and decided to get jillian a special treat too. She only had one accident today and were looking forward to the day where there is no more accidents. I know that's pretty far away because she still refuses to go poop in the toilet but were still trying to be optimistic. For right now we want to work on her bathroom routine because she spends about 10 min throwing her panties and pants up in the air instead of actually putting them on her body. But one thing at a time and eventually we will get it right!

Workout: Pure Cardio

Food:
Breakfast/Lunch-2 scrambled eggs, 1 piece of Ezekiel Bread and Fruit
Snack-Apples with Peanut butter
Dinner-Cafe Rio Salad and Lime Water(ie water with 1/2 a lime in it) Also, if you want to look at the amount of what I ate refer to this blog-http://thewilliamsonwildlings.blogspot.com/2014/09/day-37-by-far-hardest-workout-so-far.html

Day 46-Cold Turkey

Its easier to stop exercising than to get back exercising cold turkey!

Ive noticed a couple things with this little break I had recently had. Some things I already knew but this just puts it into more perspective. 

1. Its really easy to quit or stop working out, but life isnt about having the easiest life. You have to work hard to make yourself better.

2. The more you put in the more you get out. The more time I put into working out, the more I feel better!

3. Once you have a momentum down, don't stop it! I had a real good momentum down and it was working for me but then I got in a rut and instead of "Digging Deeper," I stopped. The workouts were much harder today when I should have breezed by them. Because I haven't worked out this past week the momentum that I had going, with the ease of each workout was gone. I have to work myself back up to the speed I was at in order to feel the ease of each further workout. I don't know if I explained it the way i'm feeling but that's how I felt. The endurance and strength was gone so I have to start over to gain that.  

4. Working out is hard and its supposed to challenge you. But if your waking up depressed because you don't want to go through another hard workout, maybe you need to go through your goals again and find a reason to push harder. If that doesn't work, re-examine your working out process and what is more beneficial to you in the long run, falling and braking your ankle during a Power Jump or getting your weight down a little more so you don't have 40 LB weight-bags on your chest that have a mind of their own.

Anyways, these things came into my mind today as I was working out. And I hope tomorrow and the next days will start to get easier as my endurance increases.

Workout-Cardio Power and Resistance

Food:

Breakfast/Lunch-Cereal

Snack-Banana and Apple

Dinner-Baked Chicken and "Baby Beanstalk"(Asparagus!)

Dinner(and I ate about 1/4 of this HUGE chicken and jillian ate the rest, she calles it her "Chicken Nuggets!"

  

Also a little side-note, I will be getting my meal plan from my "Dolce Dietitian" on Sunday so it will give me my portions and things before next week!!!  

Days 40-45-Getting Caught Up!

So i'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a while I've been really busy and kinda got stuck in a rut. The workouts that I was scheduled to do were extremely hard, too hard that even a well fit athlete would struggle. Since I couldn't get even halfway through the new workouts I decided to do something a little different and go back to the beginning again. Because I wasn't able to finish the workouts and had next to no energy while doing them, it really had me feel super defeated. But I got to talking with my health coach and dietitian with "The Dolce Diet Team" and she said with the new foods and menu she is giving me it should be a little easier to get through my workouts without feeling too exhausted. If you don't remember my husband Zac Won a chance for me to work with the "Dolce Diet Team" to plan and strategize meals to help me reach my goals. They picked him/me and my story out of over 3,000 people, only 10 were selected and one out of the 10 got to do it for free and that was me! It's a really awesome experience and i'm just so grateful to have been selected. But i'm ready and excited to kinda start over and put myself first again. "The Dolce Diet Team" sent me a personally signed by Mike Dolce himself, autographed copy, of the Dolce Diet Living Lean Book and a Dolce Diet T-Shirt. Thank y'all for continuing to support me and my goals and helping me along the way! I Love Y'all!!!

Workout: None

Food:
Breakfast-banana.
Lunch-cereal.
Snack-banana and apple.
Dinner-Chicken with Spaghetti Sauce, topped with a little Moz Cheese and Baked Asparagus on the side.

Dinner!

  

Day 39-Goals!

So I thought it would be a good idea to post my goals again and to kinda go back and look at those big goals I have. I may not be reaching my goals as fast as I want to but at least I'm reaching them right? If you want to go back and see who is Motivating Me by sponsoring a weight goal here's a link to my first post (http://thewilliamsonwildlings.blogspot.com/2014/07/motivate-me-to-lose-100lbs-or-more.html) But I also wrote another Motivate Me Board to look at while doing workouts.

I usually put it on top of out Entertainment Cabinet so I can look at it and remind myself why I'm doing the workouts and it gives me an extra boost of energy.

Workouts-So I found out I can only be 2 types of wife, Deep Cleaning Wife or Workout Wife! And that my husband will get one of the 2. If there is lots to do around the house, stuff I've kinda been putting off like laundry, ironing, mopping the floors, etc it eats into the time I usually do my workouts. Don't get me wrong I do still clean when I'm a workout wife but I usually don't do that deep cleaning/time consuming stuff because I usually wont have the energy to put into it because the workout took all my energy away.  Anyways, basically all I'm trying to say is that I didn't workout today lol! 

Food:

Breakfast-Cereal

Lunch-Protein shake

Snacks-banana, mozz stick

Dinner-Pesto Chicken, Corn on the Cob and Caesar Salad

Dinner!

Day 38-Forgetful Mommy!

So I forgot to post some pictures of when we went to the mall the other day. We also forgot to take jillian to Build-A-Bear for her 3rd birthday on July 31, 2014. Zac wanted to go to the mall too and who passes a trip to go to the mall? Not me lol! So we walked and walked and walked and mommy got to look at all the pretty-pretties, daddy got to play some games and miss jill got to Build-A-Bear!

Washing her Pony!

Her name is Rarity!

Mommy missed the shot of her kissing her Pony! :(

At dinner she decided to drink both or her drinks at the same time! A chocolate milk and water lol silly girl!

Something else exciting is that shes now starting to sleep in her "Own Room" again!

Workout: Max Cardio Conditioning

Food:

Breakfast-Banana

Lunch-Protein Shake

Snack-Banana and granola

Dinner-Baked Chicken with Asparagus

 Dinner!

Zac also got a New Toy to start out Kettle Ball Collection!

Day 37-By Far the Hardest Workout So Far!

Today was a pretty good day, nothing too interesting. But my workout was by far, THE HARDEST workout to date. I'm sure it will get better as the weeks progress but it was pretty hard core. Something exciting today was Zac won an 8 week personal session with the Dolce Diet Team (www.dolcediet.com) for me. Mike Dolce is the premier MMA weight loss trainer and is working with two current UFC title holders. So I will be working with his dietitians to fine tune my diet to get the best results. I'm a little bit nervous but also pretty excited!

 Here are the books we have and follow for some of our dinners!

Workout: Max interval Plyo and 30 min of Zumba!

Food:

Breakfast-Cereal with almond milk

Lunch-Protein Shake

Snack-Bananas, Granola, watermelon

Dinner-Cafe Rio :/ lol I had the Salad without the Flour tortilla, Pico de gallo, guacamole or cheese. It wasn't really the "Dolce Way" but what I was craving lol. Here are all the ingredients and their caloric value. I also ate Half of the salad so i guess i would like cut everything in half to get the adjusted caloric values.
