The "2"

I am tired of trying to do both.. my mind aka myself obviously is not capable of completing both task. What task do you ask?? Exercising & Eating right aka on a meal plan. I have tried countless of weeks to try and incorporate the "2" in my life together, at the same time.. NOT HAPPENING! Either I go hard and do one and forget about the other or vice verse. Why?? what is wrong with me. I start going to the gym like crazy and walking outside, then I forget to eat or I don't eat the right things (don't get me wrong, I cut fast foods and A LOT of breads, pastas, rice etc out. Down to maybe 1 serving a week) or I eat right, follow a meal plan and when its time to eat I have it ready and my clock goes off. When I was going to the gym and walking, I lost more weight. When I ate right I saw my belly fat going down.(due to PROTEIN!!! the fat blaster! lol) I realized that I can do the eating right better because when im out and about I either have my snack with me or I pick up something lite, but when it comes to exercise and im out, its hard to find the time. But I loved the gym!!! Someone help! lol make my body do both. I know it is possible, and I will see MORE results.. anyone else has this issuse of the "2"?

Temptation @ its BEST!

I have been baking all DAY!!! I have a cupcake company (Top-It, A Cupcake Bar) and I received orders for about 30 something 'Cupcake Bar in a Jar™'.

We all love to like the bowl (temp 1) cause I know I do. When you make a product aka a cupcake, you HAVE to taste it (temp 2) to know that its good to serve. ugh! Some people like sweet frosting, while others love it not too sweet, have to make sure u please everyone (temp 3) with the perfect sweetness. I have orders for Strawberry (temp 4) Shortcakes, Oreo (temp 5) Heaven, Rated "R" Crunch (R=rum/ temp 6) & A Classic Birthday (it has sprinkles/ temp 7). What is a girl to do?? I cant close up shop lol.. NEVER!! but I have to control. I was told to taste and spit with out swallowing :/ (PG people P.G.!) Maybe I should do that. Anyway don't go to the site, cause Temptation is a B!TCH! I will be testing out HEALTHIER versions!

Oreo Heaven

Strawberry Shortcake

 P.s Today is DEFINITELY not 'A Piece of Cake!'

Lousy

Since I started this blog.. about 3 freaking weeks ago, I only lost 3lbs!! WTF. Without the blog I was losing that in a week! What is wrong with my body?? Better yet ME! I'm the one doing it, Right? I guess im spending too much time on eating right and not doing my workout like I was in the beginning of the year, b.t.b (before this blog) I have to get back to my routine and still incorporate my eating habits that I've gain.. all in one! I know it can be done. It is possible. I just don't think my brain is comprehending that it has to do BOTH! lol ugh At the same damn time.

Bad Salad

I must have ate a bad salad today for lunch cause my tummy is hurting.. OMG. When I made it, it looked soooo so good. It was a bag of classic i think iceberg salad. I sprinkled some garlic and onion powder, some pepper, bacon bits and almonds.. as I always do. After I ate it, my stomach couldn't hold it. (IDKY) So now im paying for it. I've been drinking a ton of water since to I guess flush it out. I know your thinking "feel better Cory" I will and thanx lol

New Workout

If you know me.. then you would know im a HUGE Beyoncé fan!! I have met and chilled with a lot of celebs.. but her... not yet!! When im around celebs, im not that annoying fan or crier who cant control herself. But, like I've told my Unc, if Beyoncé is near..idk what I would do. Ill probably keep cool. Ask for a pica and a hug.. then ill go on about my business. But yes.. I love this remix, an EXERCISE!! Genius! 

Today is April 12, 2011 and I missed my Monday entry.. but HEY! better late than NEVER.

So last week was my challenge. This is how it went down:

I did EXCELLENT the first 5 days.. Friday night I had to bake cupcakes and that's when it went downhill. I have my own company.. a cupcake bar called Top-It and I was asked to do a charity event on Saturday.. so I baked all the cupcakes the night before, and let me tell you.. THAT was not 'a piece of cake!!' When you make something for others, you have to taste your own creation. Whether you like it or not. You cant just hand it to them or let someone else tell you. If I did that, it would DRIVE ME CRAZY!!! (Britney's voice) But yea after that I stopped exercising but my eating was still RIGHT!!! just added cupcakes to the list :( . So when I weighed myself on Monday I KNEW I was not gonna like it and damn right I didn't! I felt like the first part of the week was wasted, nothing to show.. but thought to myself.. Its a LEARNING experience. So this week I am slowly coming back off my sugar rush/ high, cause it was a heaven filled with SNACKS! I threw out the left over cupcakes tonight, even though my mother was still munching on them. Anyway all I could say is we all are human and we make mistakes...

Food Haul

Total: $80
Results... PRICELESS!

A mini haul on a mega scale

I have seen the product many times before and never brought it. Finally today, I purchased a food scale!! I have read so many stories in how it has helped people in their journey. So it shall help me!

Now for my water detox for the day.. uh yea, that didn't last. I started at 7pm and ended about 2pm. At that time I was getting a headache and started shaking a little because I haven't ate. So what did I do?? eat some almonds and a string cheese. Yum!!! So are your asking, was that "a piece of cake, right?" NO!!! it wasn't.

But I will still be doing my weekly challenge!! I am so excited! I feel very good about this. I will weigh myself in the am and post the #'s, then a week from that which will be next Monday, I will post again!! I hope to see some #'s drop! Drop it like its hott.. lol ok let me go to bed. OOOhhh before that happens.. I prepared my food for the week and sealed it. So its ready when im ready.

Breakfast: Water

Lunch: Almonds & a String Cheese

Dinner: Chicken Wrap

Exercise: None :(

Planner

This is my planner that I made for this coming week.. I took the time to plan everything. That was "a piece of cake, right?" NO!! lol it took forever, but it will be well worth it in the end. Later on tonight I will be going shopping for the other things I need. Anyway I'm about to head out. Wish me luck on my planner aka challenge! ooooh before I do start it on Monday, I decided to do what you would call a fast or detox. I will be drinking nothing but water tomorrow!! That will be "a piece of cake, right?" haha I hope! I will see you tomorrow, feeling like a aquarium.

Recap and a Planner

I will tell you guys now, me posting everyday, there's a slim chance to none lol. Just to warn you in advance. Especially if your looking for a DAILY blog!! I will try my best, if not I will recap :)

So anyway the last 3days I have been eating way better!! I feel good. Monday will be the start of something new, which is starting a GUIDE. First off I know you think why Monday, do it now! The reason I chose that day is because I will go food shopping on Sunday and pre season, package and make my meals for the coming week. Also I will set a workout routine. I figured this will help a lot especially when it comes to eating. I know that its planned out already, so when it comes time, it'll be "a piece of cake, right?" and I wont be looking for a quick fix. (sound like a food addict) I will make a chart and post on here so you too can have a plan.

Summary of food eaten in the last 3 days:

• More Fruits
• Baked bbq chicken (made by me)
• Grilled chicken wrap (mbm)
• Bacon egg & cheese (mbm)
• Oatmeal
• lots of water
• Crystal Light
• Steak (mbm)
• Yogurts (galore!)

I haven't ate at a fast food or restaurant since about the early middle or early part of Jan. I have not craved any of that yet. Impressed! I not a fast food junkie anyway. Especially since I know how to COOK!!! (check out my food blog, If your on your journey, DON'T LOOK!! It might be tempting to make something :D )
