Quote For The Day:
I Believe....
That it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be, and I am still evolving.
7 years ago today at 749 am I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Her name is HannaJo. She has filled my life with lots of love and laughter and happiness. Even though she can be a handful at times. She is becoming a strong , smart red hair . With lots of personality. She is very loving and caring.
She was a miracle to me and my husband. I am so fortunate to have a Son and a daughter with lots of loving. They make my world.
As for what I did today, for exercise I cleaned my moms house. I do this 2 times a month for her. I deep clean it. So today I did the windows , dusted, moped, vacuum , cleaned kitchen and bathrooms and mirrors . great work out for the day.
Well tomorrow is my last day I can work out. I have surgery on Monday and on I have to do a clear liquid diet for 2 days and my doctor said no working out. The I can work not out for about 6 weeks after that. However I will continue with my Shakeology at least once a day but I am going to try for 2 times a day to maintain my weight loss.
Nutrition Tip for the Day
Size Matters
Eating low-carb, or low-fat foods, but super-sizing the portions will quickly turn into extra pounds. For example, though low in fat, deli-style bagels can have 400 to 500 calories. You're far better off having whole wheat bread.
Always remember: size matters! No matter how well you eat, if you eat more calories than your body needs, you will store the excess as fat. Often healthy eaters ignore total calorie intake. Take one week to calculate what you're really consuming and what you need.
Fitness Tip: How do I keep Going?
Here's a question people ask me: "I'm finding that my exercise routine is very intense and I'm seeing the benefits on day 1, so what can I do to stay motivated and keep going?"
Most folks struggle with motivation every day. I'm one of them. Motivation can be broken down into a few subcategories. My fifth Law of Health and Fitness is "Loving It." Progress and motivation are possible if you look forward to your workouts. They have to be challenging and interesting to you. If you despise them before you start them, you're not going to survive them for very long. If your reasons why are meaningful to you, then staying motivated is easier. I'm always promoting health, fitness, quality of life, and feeling good as reasons to get and stay motivated. Not to say that a person's goal to lose weight or fit into smaller clothes isn't motivating—it's just that when these goals are obtained then new ones need to come into play.
When the numbers on your scale and measuring tape are low enough to make you happy then it's important to start to explore some new numbers. I'm talking about numbers that relate to ability, improvement, and achievement. Your physical appearance will improve at a more rapid rate if you can start to exercise with your focus on power, speed, and strength. This mind set applies to both men and women. This means that your motivation comes from your desire to "Bring It" during exercise at home and out in the world. Let your P90X® or Power 90® workouts trigger something new and bigger than anything you've done before. For me it's skiing and gymnastics. For you it could be anything that pushes you beyond the confines of repeating the same workouts the same way, day after day.

Portobello Burgers
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps, 5 inches in diameter
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 4 whole wheat buns, toasted
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 slices red onion
- 2 lettuce leaves, halved
Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove their stems. Place in a dish, stem side up. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, and olive oil. Drizzle the marinade over the mushrooms. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, turning mushrooms once.
Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler. Lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Position the cooking rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil the mushrooms on medium heat, turning often, until tender, about 5 minutes on each side. Baste with marinade to keep from drying out. Using tongs, transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
Place each mushroom on a bun and top with 1 tomato slice, 1 onion slice and 1/2 lettuce leaf. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
