My yoga routine.. ;-)

So far my yoga routine has kept my body looking fantastic, but recently I had a bit of a food consumption issue. I am a very picky eater, I can love a particular food like for example eggs and hate it the next. Don't ask me why why but its like a trigger that goes off in my head that just says eggs equals vomit lol...and let me add, even if I attempt to eat it.I will throw it up....Most can say its all in my head and yes I agree but its a trigger that I yet to find what causes it. Maybe I over indulge first than get sick of it later huh lol

Because of my silly minor set backs, I have to find other ways to get my protein in-take. I'm a huge cow and pig eater lol... sorry vegetarians ;-) Lets not forget beans...love them. Back to yoga...I had to cut back because it was making me too lean...yuck! and my muscles showed more...idk I think I looked dude-ish to me...lol maybe because I'm to much of a chick lol

Anyway, I gained a couple of pounds which I am aiming for because I'm trying to feed my muscles and keep my woman-ness aka boobs/booty lol I am going to stay on that road for another week. Than start back up with my yoga.

For anyone curious of my food intake...I'm doing beef and pork..I drain the fat...not all of it ! I like it and so does your body, just don't over do it. I eat veggies like corn, green bean and carrots. Its really hard for me to eat steam veggies by itself so I make my self meat loafs or I fry some beef with corn and papas lol nam nam yum lol I hate to say but I'm a soda freak so I will try to cut back and I have a little but to Gatorade. Its better but not as good as water ya know ...

thanks for reading ;-)

My coupon trips ... ;-)

I recently starting watching a show on TLC called Extreme Couponing. Well lets just say its now one of my favorite shows. lol In a nut shell this show pretty much shows you possible ways to save money by using in-store coupons, manufacture coupons and store reward programs etc. I personally have coupon-ed before this show appeared on television. But to extreme lol like the people they show buying a hundred items at a time. Not for me lol I coupon-ed on a much smaller scale like buying 5 detergent bottles or 4 boxes of cereal. I find that reasonable, not 200 mustard's loll Anyway before i jinx myself let me stop before I become one lol

I use to coupon before this show and save maybe 20 dollars here and there. But now I'm getting groceries that's worth 300 and getting it for literally half the price (150). What I'm doing now is what they call stacking coupons. For example my favorite store is target...I bought Oscar Myer bacon with a buy one get on free manufacture coupon. Than I used a other 1 dollar off manufacture coupon on the the one i am buying with a target 1 off coupon to stack on top. So I paid a quarter of the price of both items and that's not including if the store is trying to get rid of produce and mark half off than every thing is FREE ! LOl I freak-en love it !

I recommend ANYONE to start couponing because I have saved enough money in one trip to pay my electric bill lol its TRUE !

Watch or look up extreme couponing... Save money !

My adventure after birth.. ;-)

Since giving birth, everything went according to plan as far my weight lose. I consciously took in a specific about of calories through out my pregnancy. Before I went into labor, the day before I weighed my self at 145. After giving birth, the first month I lost a dramatic weight lose of 30 pounds. I took full advantage of breast feeding for the first two months. After, I'm sorry but I couldn't keep up with my son. loll

After all that water weight shed so quickly. I was left with a body i like to call skinny fat. I had no muscle definition but of course my internal muscles where stretched out. It literally took me months to feel right again. Though a woman may appear fine several months after giving birth. I can tell you the opposite, I still felt weak and not just muscles but just a very well conscious feeling that your insides are still positioning. Organs are still shrinking back to size. I also realized that if you don't watch your weight carefully, you can gain weight after giving birth easily because of the habit of eat a large amounts of food. And breast feeding can trick you because you get even more hungry.

Any way I watched my caloric intake and if your wondering. I ate a majority of protein to slim down. I mostly eat beef, potatoes and selected veggies..I am a very picky eater and I'm a plain Jane. So I like my food really simple. I will mention my nutrition later on blogging..

I worked on my body my practicing my yoga moves. I really don't a specific time frame or day I do this. I usually do it in a daily bases for a few seconds or maybe a hour...when ever the mood strikes me to be active. I enjoy listening to music while I exercise. I also started using a pull up bar but trust me, It took me a year to finally say i can do several reps..ha ha

Everything took patience and yet it is still a battle playing the waiting game loll :-)
