Posted on January 2, 2011 by LeeAnneThis week – let’s see if we can keep up with our water AND plan our meals for the week… I’d like to see everyone plan all 5 of their daily meals from Sunday Jan 8 – Saturday Jan 14. Once your meals are planned, I’d like you to create a list to take shopping with you to make sure you have everything in the house you’ll need. If there is anything you can or need to pre prepare you should do that as well.
I planned my meals for the week and did my shopping today…
Each morning egg whites and oatmeal
am snack green smoothie
lunch shrimp, salad and pita bread
PM snack raisins and raw cashews
dinner (all with salad and green beans) – Sunday – roasted chicken, Monday – chicken tenders, Tuesday – ground turkey sauce and quinoa, Wednesday – baked chicken breast, Thursday – turkey burgers, Friday – lean hamburger with baked sweet potato fries, Saturday – dinner out.My shopping list
So – what is your plan for the week??
This is one of my favorite pieces of exercise equipment! Check it out!
This is a very simple and effective 30 min cardio / full body workout that can be done in about 8 square feet with one piece of equipment – the Valslide – this little gadget can reshape your whole body and I highly recommend it – If you don’t already have a pair you can purchase then on the link to the right (Valslide – do it anywhere).
Take a few minutes to warm up, and then get ready to SWEAT:
Squats – 20 reps
Skater Jumps – 20 reps
Valslide Reverse Lunge – 20 reps (each leg)
Valslide Side Lunge – 20 reps (each leg)
Valslide Tricep Push-Up – 10 reps

I had a thought – which was, how fun would it be to motivate each other with weekly mini challenges? Each week for the next few months I will issue a mini challenge that will help us all build a solid foundation for our weight loss goals –
The goal this week is to get your water in… The challenge, to get 80 to 100 oz of water in each day through Sunday January 2nd. If there is any way you can get lemon in your water at least in your first bottle in the morning – even better. This is going to be a real challenge for me – I have been really bad lately… but so far today I’ve gotten in 60! 3/4 of the way there!!
Good luck everyone – and I’d love to hear of any struggles or successes you are having with this challenge!
Also – I thought I’d post this article to help remind us of “why” water is so important!!
Drinking Water and Weight Loss
by Maia Appleby
Don’t roll your eyes! The potion for losing that excess body fat is all around you. It covers two thirds of the planet. If you eat right and exercise at the intensity, frequency and duration proper for you, but still can’t get rid of a little paunch here and there, you’re probably just not drinking enough water.
No need to get defensive. You’re actually quite normal. Most people don’t drink enough water. Most people are also carrying around a few more pounds than they would be if they did drink enough water. If you can’t seem to get that weight off, try drowning your sorrows in nature’s magical weight-loss mineral. It works, and here’s why:
“What on Earth is ‘metabolism’, anyway?” People use the term all the time, but ask them what it means and you’ll get all kinds of answers. Merriam Webster defines it as, “The process by which a substance is handled in the body.” A little vague, but that’s really all it means.
There are many forms of metabolism going on in your body right now, but the one everyone is talking about it the metabolism of fat. This is actually something that the liver does when it converts stored fat to energy. The liver has other functions, but this is one of its main jobs.
Unfortunately, another of the liver’s duties is to pick up the slack for the kidneys, which need plenty of water to work properly. If the kidneys are water-deprived, the liver has to do their work along with its own, lowering its total productivity. It then can’t metabolize fat as quickly or efficiently as it could when the kidneys were pulling their own weight. If you allow this to happen, not only are you being unfair to your liver, but you’re also setting yourself up to store fat.
“I’ve tried it and I couldn’t stand it!” The problem is that, though many decide to increase their water intake, very few stick with it. It’s understandable. During the first few days of drinking more water than your body is accustomed to, you’re running to the bathroom constantly. This can be very discouraging, and it can certainly interfere with an otherwise normal day at work. It seems that the water is coming out just as fast as it’s going in, and many people decide that their new hydration habit is fruitless.
Do take heed , though. What is really happening is that your body is flushing itself of the water it has been storing throughout all those years of “survival mode”. It takes a while, but this is a beautiful thing happening to you. As you continue to give your body all the water it could ask for, it gets rid of what it doesn’t need. It gets rid of the water it was holding onto in your ankles and your hips and thighs, maybe even around your belly. You are excreting much more than you realize. Your body figures it doesn’t need to save these stores anymore; it’s trusting that the water will keep coming, and if it does, eventually, the flushing (of both the body and the potty) will cease, allowing the human to return to a normal life. It’s true. This is called the “breakthrough point.”
One recent finding, as irresponsible as it may be, that caffeine increases the body’s fat-burning potential has many people loading up on coffee before going to the gym. This finding may hold some degree of truth in it, but caffeine is, in essence, a diuretic, and diuretics dehydrate. Caffeine may increase the heart rate, causing a few more calories to be burned, but this is at the expense of the muscles, which need water to function properly. This isn’t doing your heart any favors, either. It’s already working hard enough during your workout. Never mix caffeine and exercise. In fact, your best bet is to stay away from caffeine all together. It’s a big bully that pushes your friend water out of your system.
Water is the best beauty treatment. You’ve heard this since high school, and it’s true. Water will do wonders for your looks! It flushes out impurities in your skin, leaving you with a clear, glowing complexion. It also makes your skin look younger. Skin that is becoming saggy, either due to aging or weight loss, plumps up very nicely when the skin cells are hydrated.
In addition, it improves muscle tone. You can lift weights until you’re blue in the face, but if your muscles are suffering from a drought, you won’t notice a pleasant difference in your appearance. Muscles that have all the water they need contract more easily, making your workout more effective, and you’ll look much nicer than if you had flabby muscles under sagging skin.
“Eight glasses a day? Are you kidding?!” It’s really not that much. Eight 8-ounce glasses amount to about two quarts of water. This is okay for the average person, but if you’re overweight, you should drink another eight ounces for every 25 pounds of excess weight you carry. You should also up this if you live in a hot climate or exercise very intensely.
This water consumption should be spread out throughout the day. It’s not healthy at all to drink too much water at one time. Try to pick three or four times a day when you can have a big glass of water, and then sip in between. Don’t let yourself get thirsty. If you feel thirsty, you’re already becoming dehydrated. Drink when you’re not thirsty yet.
Do you think water is yucky? Drinking other fluids will certainly help hydrate your body, but the extra calories, sugar, additives and whatever else aren’t what you need. Try a slice of lemon or lime in the glass, or if you really think you hate water, try a flavored water. Just make sure you read the labels. Remember that you’re going to be consuming a lot of this fluid.
It’s probably a good idea to stop drinking water a good three hours before you go to bed. You know why.
“How cold should it be?” This is debatable. Most experts lean toward cold water, because the stomach absorbs it more quickly. There is also some evidence that cold water might enhance fat burning.
On the other hand, warmer water is easier to drink in large quantities, and you might drink more of it without even realizing it. Do whatever suits you, here. Just drink it!
When you drink all the water you need, you will very quickly notice a decrease in your appetite, possibly even on the first day! If you’re serious about becoming leaner and healthier, drinking water is an absolute must. If you’re doing everything else right and still not seeing results, this might just be what’s missing.
Well – did it – it was great and…. it didn’t record.
So I will re-record this Saturday and post for your viewing pleasure.

The last two weeks of this crazy journey started back on Saturday December 10th – 13 days from the morning of Dec 24 – the date I said I would have my best body ever, with me sitting on my couch creating my plan.
You see hitting a goal is not only about planning it’s about taking care of yourself along the way, having a vision, having fun, and getting real with yourself. Of course this is all the stuff I talk about in my upcoming Body Transformation 101: A Step Beyond Diet and Exercise – webinar which will launch on Jan 2, 2012. BT101 is not a fitness program it is a tool to help you learn to plan, understand food, discuss the most effective way to workout – well what has worked for me, ways to take care of yourself and make time for yourself, and so on – and I’m sorry but I don’t want to hear I’m too old, I have to far to go, etc, etc, etc., unless you have a Dr.’s note stating you have a medical condition. I am 49 1/2, in full menopause, had been going through the most stress I have even gone through in my life on many many levels – and guess what – I got it done. Why – because I decided I wanted to and so can you! So here we go, my last two weeks -and as you will see I’m not perfect and life does not always cooperate!
Now as I’ve mentioned before, when you are working on getting off the last 5 lb at my fitness level, it’s not going to be a walk in the park – it will be hard and I know it, but I am going in knowing it and I’m accepting it.
So here is my 13 day workout plan:
Food:
Day 1 – Sunday, Dec 11 – My granddaughter and daughter were here until 10:00 AM. Missed breakfast, I know the most important meal of the day, but I just wasn’t hungry. Got back on track with green smoothie at 10:00 AM. Didn’t get lunch in either -looks like I was a bit off my game today. I finally got on the treadmill around 2 pm and was done around 3:00 / 45 min of cardio and 15 mins of abs. After my workout I had 15g of nuts and a small apple, just about 150 calories. Dinner was salmon and salad. I also got in about 80 oz of water today from about noon on –
Prep work for the week: Baked shredded cauliflower, butternut squash and carrots until crispy. Made fresh salad and have all meats separated.
What I did right today: got on the treadmill and got my prep work done for the week.
Day 2 – Monday, Dec 12 – Home with a migraine today – not severe but just enough to sideline me a little… did have breakfast, do have my lemon water – workout today a no go – figures… Issue with food today may just be wanting to eat, I usually don’t when I don’t feel well, also water will be a challenge – 1/2 way through my first 20 oz bottle – going down like nails :yikes:
Some thoughts on afternoon hunger… the afternoon is my down fall – right around 2 pm – too early for my afternoon snack, but then if I don’t eat it, I’m at the vending machine… my new plan of attack is moving the time I eat around. Breakfast will still be at 7:00, green smoothie still at 10:00 – going to try to stretch lunch out until 12:30 or 1:00 – and make sure I take 20 minutes eat. That way I should be able to wait for my PM snack until 3:00 or 3:30, which should hold me until dinner – Also toying with the idea of moving my green smoothie to the afternoon… It’s 16 oz of chocolate yumminess! I’m hooked on the Shakeology chocolate – at first I found it too chocolaty, but started adding 1 cup of ice along with my coconut water, which makes it perfect.
What I did right today: got all my water in and figured out how to avoid afternoon snacking-moved my green smoothie to the afternoon
Day 3 – Tuesday, Dec 13 – headache is still lingering, but getting ready to put my sneakers on for some cardio – it’s going to have to be steady state, but at least I’m doing something – Update: got 4o mins done on elliptical. Tonight I have class, so I won’t be able to get my extra walk in.
Food – will be egg whites / oatmeal. Update: Jelly Donut 9:45 am – why do they bring them in!!! and 1 oz of cheese, 5 shrimp, apple and salad, chocolate green smoothie in pm and dinner stomach still off so had a PB&J on EZ bread with crust cut off – oh and some almonds.
Water: goal 100 oz
What I did right today: got up a did what my body would allow me to do and didn’t beat myself up for not doing more.
Day 4 – Wednesday, Dec 14 – So yesterday – didn’t go quite as planned…. Still wasn’t feeling 100% – so my resistance to the Jelly Donut lady wavered as I mentioned above…. 
Very busy at work, so I did not get my second walk-in… my class went really well though, which felt good…
Last night finally got a good nights sleep thanks to modern medicine and feeling much better today – plus got in my MarkOne workout!!
Body, mind and spirit: I’m not going to lie, I feel a bit beaten down and tired. The only thing keeping me going at this point is this crazy challenge – it’s giving me something to focus on, and all the positive around me…….
Today: Food shouldn’t be an issue, except my appetite isn’t 100% – Also will get my 100 oz of water in – 20 oz with 1/2 of fresh squeezed lemon.
What I did right today: got a good nights sleep.
Day 5 – Thursday, Dec 15, 2011 – Ok I going to be honest and this is a tad embarrassing – it’s just to show you I have my own pit falls -
Yesterday was good until I got home, ended up having a huge handful of nuts for dinner, then 2 bags of pretzel m&m’s – let just say it was not a great evening.
This mornings workout was waylaid by a some personal business, and then got to work and didn’t realize our holiday lunch was today… had a little beef, chicken, a couple of small roasted potatoes, a large salad and some baby carrots – oh an a few bite of yummy dessert….. Ended up just having my green smoothie for dinner.
That’s all the whining I have for today – 
Puh- thetic………
Day 6 – Friday, Dec 16 -Slept like a log last night, feel good today so I hit the gym and got my MarkOne workout in – First thank you for allowing me to vent – I know I’m suppose to be here to support you, but I did start out as one of you – and this is life. None of us can be 100% all the time. We can only do the best we can…with the energy we have, the tools at hand and the will power we have in reserve.
Food today as follows: egg whites and oatmeal after workout, 10:00 am apple and 1oz of cheese, 12:30 5 shrimp and 3 full cups of salad w/ chia seeds, 3:30 green smoothie, dinner lean burger and veggies.
As you can see I have changed the title of this post to “My Best Body To Date…..” Honestly over the last few days I’ve realized – this is something I can easily keep doing – I just won’t blog about this subject again for a while – I’m thinking a “Fabulous at 50″ blog on August 11, 2012, with an update and new photos of how we can all look at 50 and beyond with a little hard work, planning and consistency in our life. That should keep me on my toes. 
What I did right today: Acknowledged that I am only human and am allowed to make mistakes.
Day 7 – Saturday, Dec 17 -Morning everyone -well I’m at 131 for the second week in a row which is good- measurements are still the same, my goal for this Friday is 129 – Right now I’m feeling good, and I’m feeling strong – Last week was tough stress wise, I did have had a few slip ups food wise and did not get my double workout sessions in each day as planned. To lose 2 lbs I need to create deficit of 7000 calories between my food and exercise starting today. I will have to figure out what that is and will be back to post it later…
What I did right today: Regrouped for the upcoming week
Day 8 Sunday, Dec 18 – so I’m calling last night my last “strategic over feeding” Here is my MUST do’s for the week:
Sunday – Workout make up / 45 min on elliptical pm Food -Oatmeal / egg whites Apple / 10 almonds 5 shrimp / salad pm green smoothie dinner: salmon and asparagus
Monday – Workout / 4 mile walk at lunch Food same as above except dinner: 4 oz of baked chicken, green beans and salad
Tuesday- Intervals / abs / 4 mile walk at lunch Dinner: Salmon and asparagus
Wednesday – Workout / 4 mile walk at lunch / abs Dinner: Ground turkey, green beans and salad
Thursday – intervals / abs / 4 mile walk at lunch Dinner: Salmon and asparagus
Firday – Workout / 4 mile walk at lunch / abs Dinner: Lean ground beef over salad
Saturday – Final weigh in and Measurements
What I did right today: Tweaked my plan to help me reach my goal.
Day 9 – Monday, Dec 19 – Today was right on the money until…. wait for it….. JOYCE CAME HOME :thumbup: that is my mom who is nothing but trouble I mean I knew she was coming, but didn’t think I’d see her until Friday – but Jenn, my sister, brought her to dinner here in town so we all met up – dinner ended up being some white rice and some chicken on a stick – so my plan went out the window – It was super fun because my other sister, my brother and my husband showed up too – we are a crazy bunch – the great part is I just get to sit back and enjoy the show.
What I did right today: Met up with my family and enjoyed ever bit of it.
Day 10 Tuesday, December 20 -Today – Workout here in gym, and another 4 mile walk at lunch – I have my last class tonight in town, which I have to say has been good to bring me out of my virtual shell
Food same up until dinner and tonight is salmon and salad.
What I did right today: was able to step away from my desk and get a 4 mile walk in.
Day 11 – Wednesday, Dec 21-I have to share – my last class was fabulous!! Got some really great feed back from the girls – one of them being I need to be more bossy – how fun is that!
So here we are Wednesday morning with 3 full days to get things done – I should be able to do it, but honestly little things are creeping in that could sabotage my results – one Joyce being home – I’ll be fine if I can stay away from everyone until the weekend, two – work has been a little stressful, I am trying to keep relaxed by getting my walk in at lunch – which does feel really good. Last night came home from class and popped a handful of cashews and about 5 caramel nips (the candy) – and yesterday food and exercise was perfect – all these little things can add up when you have a deadline – in real life probably not such a big deal. I guess if I was a movie star or a model and had a big shoot or movie coming up was getting paid big money for it – who knows – but they are only human too and I am sure they have their own levels of stress.
Today’s plan – interval cardio and abs and 45 on the elliptical tonight. Food – should be as planned – dinner tonight: Looks like ground turkey and green beans. One thing that has really surprised me is that I am not really hungry at all during the day – and because I moved my chocolate smoothie to the afternoon – I am not looking to hit the vending machine.
What I did right today: Have a better understanding of how I can sabotage myself and made an adjustment
Day 12-Thursday, Dec 22 -Did not get my final walk in last night was at work until 8 pm – someone gave me a bag of chocolate balls – ate 6 and threw them away – I’m tired and I’m disappointed in myself for cracking.
Why am I sharing this? Because it’s life – and life happens even when we are trying to lose weight…. could I have not eaten the choc balls – probably, but the fact I threw them away before eating the whole bag is a win to me.
Should I beat myself up – no – because I can change what has already happened – I can only move on from here – I’m going to make it happen, I’ve decided enough is enough – If any of you are having the same challenges – decide today will be a good day, regardless of what happened yesterday or may happen tomorrow -
Oh and one more thing that JUST crossed my mind….. and you will hear me talk about this in my BT101 webinar – for me self-nurturing and self-appreciation are the two things I need to work on the most (as do most women) -and now that I look over these last few weeks, it sticks out like a sore thumb…. the fact that I have been able to lose weight over the holidays, get my workouts in consistently, deliver a successful program the first time around, was able to get caught up at work, ate well probably 80-90% of the time with temptation EVERY WHERE, am putting together my free webinar for Wednesday, December 28th, and Launch my Body Transformation 101 program the 2nd of next year – is amazing – I may have to go back and add a “what I did right today blurb” under each day, and embrace my success. In fact, as you get to this part you will see I went back and did that
What I did right today: Decided to Acknowledge my success.
Day 13-Friday, Dec 23 -Final day!! Finally it’s here!! Yesterday was spot on and I did get 4 mile walk in!!
Today – Final MarkOne workout / Breakfast oatmeal and green beans, mid morning 1 scoop of whey protein and water, lunch – green smoothy, pm snack almonds and some baby – Dinner lean hamburg and some sweet potato fries – 100 oz lemon water
What I did right today: Got through it!!

Ladies, we need to be our own best friends – think of yourself as a diamond in the rough, what is it that you can do for yourself that makes you shine and sparkle?
… and yes, that’s me all glamored up in one of my Fantasy Photo shoot pictures – now that was an amazing day – I look a little sparkly, don’t I?
I have done some extremely fun things for myself lately like the photo shoot and flying to Chicago to run a 5k with a good friend, and let me tell you, it’s felt great. I have always been the one doing and giving to others, putting myself first felt strange at first, but now, I like it!
Doing things for yourself does two things – first it makes you happy, and when your happy – everyone around you is happy… second, it is good for your overall health and fitness…. It is the x-factor that gets us every time – for today X= stress, which = an increase in cortisol production – the fight or flight hormone. Without even knowing it we are bombarded with stress everyday, not sleeping = stress, getting the kids into the tub = stress, trying to figure out what we are having for dinner = stress, Holidays = Stress x 10!!! It’s all the little things that add up over time that have a chronic effect on our body if we don’t do something good for ourselves to off set them.
So what effect do stress / cortisol have on our body?
According to Elizabeth Scott, M.S. , higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (like those associated with chronic stress) have been shown to have negative effects, such as:
Increased abdominal fat, which is associated with a greater amount of health problems than fat deposited in other areas of the body. Some of the health problems associated with increased stomach fat are heart attacks, strokes, the development of metabolic syndrome, higher levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL), which can lead to other health problems.
Listed below are some thing you can do for yourself to help produce a relaxation response – can you say Self Nurturing

Workouts -
I know – when is this all going to end?!!! Soon I promise… I’ve found a new motivation – the launch of my program – If I’m going to talk the talk, I had better make sure I can walk the walk…. so I’m giving myself 3 weeks from today – on December 23 I am going to weigh, in take measurements and pictures and post them right here – very real and very untouched up – Yikes! I keep getting the “you’re close” line, for once I want to hear – “you’re there”!!
Sunday – re-reading through the last paragraph and wondering “what have I done”…. All’s I can do is my best right? Ok – I have my new week of MarkOne kick-ass workouts, now I know I’m scared! Have my food planned and ready to go – now I just need to do it. So wish me luck!
. Food today green beans and egg whites, green smoothie, salad and shrimp with an apple, pm snack cranberries and cashews, dinner chicken tenders, veggies and salad. Tonight need to get to Costco’s to pick up my berries for my shake and also make a short video for my class tomorrow night on working out – I am not the expert here, but do have some expert advise from my hubby .
Tuesday – OK, my trainer is threatening to yank me from the program – mental exhaustion is taking it’s toll. I’m going to try to get a few key things done at work and then maybe take a few mental health days to regroup. I did do a 20 min cardio workout this morning only half of what I should have done, but still it felt good to do something. Also, going to just try to focus on each moment and task as it comes. Food is metza – kinda cracked on salty cashews and some yummy dark choc last night and a RB cup in the afternoon… I guess that is what happens, right? Oh and just a reminder – I am only human, just like each of you – I do have my ups and downs, sometimes I don’t make the best choices, but I do try to rebound quickly and not got down the rabbit hole This will be the thing that saves us all – make your next choice a better one.
Food today – Oatmeal and egg whites, green smoothie, salad, shrimp and an apple, pm snack dark choc, cashews and cranberry mix, dinner left over chicken tenders, 1/3c brown rice and salad.
Food – Egg white and green bean, green smoothie, salad, shrimp and 1/3c brown rice, cashews / dk choc and cranberry mix. Dinner – Salmon and salad.
Thursday – Hmmm not sure what happened yesterday afternoon, had all my snacks, etc. and still hit the vending machine for 2 pks of peanut m&m’s – actually I do know what happened – I was a tad stressed / irritated at work – being able to figure the why we do stuff is HUGE in changing behaviors – for me this may just be what it is – is it the worst thing I’ve done to help me de-stress when working out is not an option – nope, am I going to beat myself up about it – not even a little… I enjoyed every last one – but did not enjoy the sugar crash after
Today – going to do some interval training on the treadmill, my first real attempts after a week off. I do feel up to the challenge today, so my plan is to do better than last time which was getting up to a 6.0, any thing above that is gravy… Food will be the same as yesterday, less the m&m’s, with Turkey Burgers for dinner.
Ok – quick update – got to 6.7 then walked for 5 – total 25 min. Then off for a little DA ab workout – LA’s getting her grove back
Friday – I think last night was my cheat night for the weekend, let’s just say dinner ended up being something completely different – workouts have been back on track this week, but food has been up and down – so much for my time to stop fooling around… but it’s life people we all do the very best we can… still pushing towards my December 23rd goal, I guess we will have to see how bad I want it…
Getting off my butt in about two seconds for a MarkOne workout, and then to pack my food for the day – same as usual. Tonight have a get together with some friends, plan is to be very full on good food before I go.
So – I just took measurements and they are all still the same, NOT getting on the scale… I’ve just made a decision… I’m going under ground for the next two weeks. No need to continue to bore you with my day in and day out stuff. We all know what I need to do – clean up my food a tad more and keep working my program – I just need to shuuuush – and do it – I’ll be back with the final chapter of my best body ever on December 23rd…
