Google Obsession!

I know … I know … I didn’t update my blog on Friday (sorry I’m 2 days late).

Ever since I started to “seriously diet” I have been obsessed with Google-ing work outs, diets, and super sexy dresses and clothes that I want to fit into. It's so overwhelming, there is so much information out there, and I want to buy EVERYTHING! I also come across some funny videos that I can relate to in so many ways (see below)!

Working out is not the only thing that will help me through this. It’s my eating habits that I need to change for good. I have the day off work tomorrow and I plan on stopping at the book store to buy “The Ultimate New York Diet by David Kirsch" … if we even have any bookstores open still … damn Kindles! Let me school you a little bit about David Kirsch. He is a celebrity fitness trainer and he is the one that got Heidi Klum into tip top shape for the VS fashion show … just eight weeks after having a baby! … and the cover says “Lose up to 14 lbs in 2 weeks!” … I’m a sucker for that! Haha but in all honesty I heard great things about his diet plan from various reviews and some friends. I will let you know how that goes. I’m sure any diet will be better than that damn Lemonade Diet (cleanse)… that I completely failed! Google it if you dare! I didn’t make it past day 2! I'm also going to stop at Trader Joe's ... they have some nice healthy food selections that will inspire me! 

So on to the good news for the week ...

• I kept up with my workout plan despite being sick.
• Thanks to a handy pamphlet at the grocery store, I learned how to properly deseed a Pomegranate – I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it is to me considering I have been doing it wrong the entire time. 
• I went to the movies and smuggled in my own healthy snacks and bottled water. I did'nt cave in for popcorn, pretzels or gummie bears ... and nacho cheese!   
• Saving the best for last … drum roll please ………….  I lost 3.5lbs this week! I am so proud of myself and I can’t wait to lose more … hopefully 14lbs in two weeks if I stick to David Kirsch’s diet plan! Haha 

 

And now time for something funny …

Thanks for all your support! "See" you in a week!

First Week = DONE!

Good news all around!

My first week of the New Year went quite well! Not only did I stick to my workout regimen but, I made some progress in my eating habits as well! I have been drinking LOTS of water and iced green tea (no sugar). I usually skip breakfast (which is probably a bad idea) so, I am getting into the habit of eating a HEALTHY breakfast!

Going to the gym has been quite entertaining, especially seeing the members double during the first week of January! I guess I am not the only one with this typical resolution!

I was able to work out with my mom and dad twice this week. I know it may not seem like such a big deal, but they are just so cute about it. We bought them iPod shuffles for Christmas and they are just amazed with the technology! If I told my dad to get a membership years ago, he would respond by telling me that he gets a good enough workout at work every day! It’s something that they are able to do together and it’s good for their health too. I must say I am a proud daughter. I LOVE seeing my “old school” polish parents doing something together!

Goals for the month of January:

• Lose 10lbs (this is a realistic goal; I am hoping to lose over 10lbs!)
• Work out 5x a week
• Continue healthy eating

I haven’t lost my motivation and I am ready for week 2! Thanks for reading!  

Some pictures that have been circling around that are so true!
