Day 4-Jillians 3rd Birthday!!!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY GIRL!!!!

Here's a little collection of photos of jillian

     Shes our little miracle baby and shes so sweet, loving, happy, energetic and CRAZY! Shes the best thing that could have come into our lives and im so grateful that I get to be her mom!

I asked jillian what she wanted for breakfast this morning and she told me that she wanted eggs. She then proceeded to open up the fridge and realised there was also strawberries in there. so she took the strawberries out and gave them to me and as i was cutting them and as they hit the bowl she quickly snatched them up to eat them. She LOVES to help mommy in the kitchen and even has little stool she stands on. 

           

             Jillian's Breakfast                                                               My breakfast



Workout: It was really hard for me to be motivated today, one because I wanted to play and love on my baby girl because it was her special day and two because I was having a lot of extreme pain in my back. It wasnt because of the workouts but often happens when I get out of bed too fast. Sometimes I wake up paralyzed and in extreme pain, without any signs or warnings. That's part of the reason I want to get better and get off my meds. But anyways, I pushed through what was supposed to be an easy day of cardio recovery and wen to the pool to cool off and go swimming. Its one of Jillians fav activities!

Food:
Breakfast: Yogurt, blueberries and granola(I think I put too much granola but oh well)
Snacks: Strawberries and carrots
Lunch: Protein Shake(6oz vanilla almond milk and 1 scoop protein powder)
Dinner: Chicken, Broccolini, and roasted red potatoes-We celebrated jillians birthday at the Macaroni Grill and I ate way too much!!!!!

We got to "Facetime" Grandma at dinner and open up the presents she sent out in the mail. Here's some pictures at dinner and when we opened up the rest of the presents at home.

This was the best photo we could get. She was moving around too much!

 Sitting pretty!

The little dinosaur is a night light she can hold and it changes all different colors!

Anyways, thanks for sharing this most special day with us! Love you all!!!

Day 3-Working With What I Got

So im so excited to see yall reading my blog and giving me all the advice it really helps me. Im not perfect and im making baby steps and working at my own pace to make my life-style change. I know a lot of different types of foods and healthier choices but like I said im taking baby steps that will eventually push me towards healthier options. Im also a REALLY picky eater so the foods im eating are already stepping out of my comfort level and limiting my choices. The main thing im doing with my diet is Portion Control. I have ALWAYS had "bigger eyes than my stomach" so portion control and what i should be eating vs. what i want to eat is a big thing. Im also trying to stray away from sweets which is a BIG thing. I get a lot of cravings at night so im trying to come up with different things that will subside those cravings (fruits in the freezer, yogurt in the freezer, etc.) My husband has been working late this week and hasnt been able to get to the store lately so im working with what ive already got at home. Im hoping to get a "purge" blog out soon but for now it will have to wait for another day. And a little tid-bit about our family-TOMORROW is Jills 3rd BIRTHDAY!!!!! YAY!!!! Where has the time gone?

38 weeks-couple days before my water broke!

Workout: Power Cardio and Resistance.

Food:

Breakfast: yogurt
snacks: Celery sticks and peanut butter
Lunch: Protein Shake(6oz Vanilla almond milk with 1 scoop Protein powder)
Dinner: Same as last night

Day 2-Breaking in the New Shoes!

WARNING THIS PAGE CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES!!!!

K, Ya'll have been warned...

So I guess I didn't remember that with working out comes other things like sore muscles, cramps, and most of all BLISTERS!!! I don't think it helped the soles of my feet at all by walking on the flaming hot pavement to go to the pool too but I ended up getting blisters! So I did what any other SANE person would do and poked it with a needle and let the liquid drain out of it! After the liquid was drained, I had put a band-aid on it and began doing the dishes and vacuuming before my workout. As I stood and moved my feet it felt like I was slipping on water so I took another look at my blister and realized that poking the holes to drain the blister had made air pockets in there. The skin between the layers of skin had separated like I was shedding skin, so AGAIN, like any SANE person would do I cut it lol. So now the old skin can come off and the new skin underneath can heal and push the old dead skin off. I obviously serialized my equipment and it felt way better after I did it and it was like cutting calluses it didnt hurt at all.

Please excuse my heavily callused foot, I don't often wear shoes :)

WORKOUT: Plyometric Cardio Circuit-I may have not done all the exercises but I never hit Pause!

FOOD:

Breakfast: Again None lol

Snacks: Celery, Cheese Stick

Lunch: Protein Shake (12oz Vanilla Almond Milk and 1 Scoop Chocolate Protein Powder)

Dinner: Barley(Made in rice cooker with 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock and 2 cups water for 2 cups Dry Barley grain) mixed with Black Beans, Corn, Celery, White and Green Onions. Seasoned with Garlic powder and Lawry's Seasoned salt. 

Day 1-It's Only Just Begun!

Day 1

Today was more about testing my abilities and using it as a stepping stone to judge how far I've come. Each of the exercises were done within 1min increments in a 30min time period with both a warm-up and cool-down. I Found the Exercises REALLY hard with an almost 3-Year-Old-Toddler getting in my way and climbing all over me. So if you have any suggestions feel free to pass them along. I Know my numbers may not be great but its a start right? 

FIT TEST 1: 

1. Switch Kicks-81 Kicks(they might not have been high but i did kick every time!)
2. Power Jacks-19
3. Power Knees-53
4. Power Jumps-11
5. Globe Jumps-6 Jumps(so 1 1/2 sets)
6. Suicide Jumps-6
7. Push-Up Jacks-7
8. Low Plank Oblique-23

As you can tell I really don't like jumping but at least I did more than 1 move!

FOOD: (We Haven't Been to the store yet)

Water:  4 Water Bottles(I need to buy a big cup that like tells me how many ounces)

Breakfast: So I really don't like eating breakfast and i'm sure the more I exercise I do, the better at eating before my workouts ill be. But for now, I dont feel like throwing up during my workouts! lol 

Lunch: Protein Shake(12oz Vanilla Almond Milk with 2 scoops)

Snacks: Cheese Stick, Yogurt

Dinner: Baked Chicken(Marinated in creamy tomatillo ranch sauce) and sushi rice with rice seasoning(Furikake-Seaweed, eggs, etc) I wish we had some fresh fruit and veggies but we still need to go to the store. 

   Anyways, thanks for reading and hopefully I wont get a sweet-tooth in the middle of the night :)

Weigh-in's and Measurements

Big Steps

To better appreciate what I've done and all that I've left behind, I should know and write down where I started. I Am ready to start changes and with those changes i'm pushing myself out of my comfort-zone and putting my private life into something public! I dont even tell my husband how much I weigh, so letting the public know is a BIG STEP!! I know those who read my blog are people who truly love me and support me. Thanks again for being supportive and helping me reach my Goals any way that you can!

Motivate Me to Lose 100Lbs or More!!!

"Motivate Me"

          So I realized that I haven't blogged in quite a long time and decided to give y'all the heads up on the route I will be taking my blog for the next Phase of my life. I feel like if I don't Blog about changing my life that it will never change. So if I Blog about what i'm doing each day/week I will be more committed to making changes within my life and sharing my journey with you. My life I feel has been pretty private, even sometimes with my family. I don't want to go too much into details of the trials I've gone through in my life but due to health issues and dealing with daily depression, my weight has skyrocketed into the 250 pound range. That was VERY hard for me to admit just now! But my body has recovered enough to where my Doctor has approved me to start exercising as long as my heart can withstand it. My End Term Goal is to be off my Medications, Happy, Healthy and to bring a healthy baby into this world! I have a Long Journey to go and it may take a couple years but I ask for your help to, "Motivate Me," to get to my End Term Goals.

What does "Motivate Me" mean, you ask?

          Good Question: "Motivate Me" is just as it sounds, Motivating me one pound at a time! With every pound I lose, I've written down things or "Gifts" that correlate with each pound. My 100 pound(Goal weight of 150lbs) "Gift" will be to start the process of having another child and because its my 100 pounds lost goal, I thought it only appropriate to go on a Cruise! I realize that it is going to take a long time but we all got to start somewhere! So I ask you, Family and Friends, please sign up for whatever weight goal you think I can or cant reach, than, sponsor me with something I can look forward to. It can be anything, a hand-written note, a Skype session, a painted picture, a music playlist, a girls night out, a phone call, a text, ANYTHING!! It doesn't have to cost anything, I just want to know I have the love of my Family and Friends supporting me through my journey of becoming healthier.

          I really appreciate you taking the time to read and go through this Blog as I start my journey. If you have any tips or ideas on how I can continue to stay healthy throughout this process, please dont hesitate to leave comments down below, e-mail me at jenae.corbeil@yahoo.com or even Facebook me. Down below is also the List of each pound and who is sponsoring me(you can also remain anonymous if you want) with each "Gift." Thanks again for reading and supporting me,  I love you all and I look forward to this next phase of my life and having you travel with me!
