Albertson's Fruit on the Bottom Yogurt

Awhile back I had posted about not liking yogurt. So I finally got the courage to try different brands of yogurt because I had only had the yoplait brand. So I tried all of the following:

Blueberry Yoplait Yogurt
Chocolate Whips Yoplait Yogurt
Lucern Plain Yogurt
Lucern Vanilla Yogurt
Ralph's Fruit on the Bottom Blueberry Yogurt
Albertson's Fruit on the Bottom Blueberry Yogurt
Albertson's Vanilla Yogurt

Now, I very much disliked all of the above except for the Albertson's Fruit on the Bottom Yogurt. All the others have a disgusting sour flavor to them which I can't stand (although I'm sure you dissagree with me on this but oh well). Even the Albertson's Vanilla Yogurt is not good either. I don't know what it is that they put in the Albertson's Fruit on the bottom, but it is hella good... haha!

The aMazing Title

I've been able to get into the gym all week! It's been wonderful being able to go! I started off by just running 1 mile on Monday. Tuesday I worked biceps and ran 1.5 miles, and today I worked triceps and ran 2.0 miles. I am going to run 2.5 miles tomorrow, and I hope to run 3.0 miles on Friday outside at the Miramar Lake. I heard from a friend that it is a nice run and that it has mile markers. I'm somewhat uncertain if I will be able to be ready to run my 5k since it is only a few more weeks away, but I'm going to work hard for it.

Well, I ended up gaining that 4.5 pounds that I had lost, so I am back at an even 50 pounds again, but I have worked out a new diet plan that I will detail out below that I am going to stick to. I hope to get back those pounds by the end of 2 weeks from this past Monday. Here is my new diet plan:

5 am (if I actually wake up on time haha) - Protein Shake or Breakfast Bar
8 am - Protein Bar
11 am - Yogurt (Fruit on the Bottom Yogurt Rocks!!! Don't even diss it Luis...)
2 pm - Sandwich & Apple
6-7 pm - Small Dinner

Surviving the Holidays

Well, to the say the least, I've been a little unmotivated due to the holidays. We went up to Northern California for Thanksgiving to my mother-in-law's home. It was a nice get away for both of us, but bad on food and no gym since we were out of town. This week I am planning on getting together with my friend to talk about getting back into the gym and getting motivated again. I've been doing quite well marinating my current weight, but I don't want to just maintain... I want to lose more. So I'm going to get back in to the gym and get motivate once again!

Dress Shopping

The company I work for has a formal Christmas party every year, and like always, they are having one this year on December 9th. Because of this, I need to get a formal dress. I went to David's Bridal yesterday to look around to see what was out there, and I tried a couple of dresses on. Now, My wedding dress that I wore was a size 22 from David's Bridal and that was 3 years ago... When I tried on dresses yesterday, I could fit into the size 14 but it was a little to snug so I went with the size 16! I know that I'm still far away from my goal, but that was encouraging for me...

Training

Well, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things as I was unable to go to the gym for the last month due to my work. My work now has slowed thanks to the holiday season so now I'm back in action once again! I went to the gym yesterday evening, and I ran 1.5 miles at 1% incline and at 5.0 mph. I realized that it's going to take a lot to do well at this 5k as I was out for awhile. Anyway, the gym was super busy yesterday. I have never seen the gym that busy before, and I don't know if everyone has renewed their memberships or something. But it is always encouraging to see people working on their fitness especially if they follow through with it. Well I'll keep you posted on everything as it happens :) Thanks for the encouragement!!

December 5k Run

So I've Decided to run the 5k run at the San Diego Balloon Parade this December 28th. I'm going to start training for it hardcore tomorrow, and my husband, Chris, is going to run it with. I can't wait!

GYM

I finally went to the gym!!! Oh boy!! Here was my workout after much debate:

1 mile run @ 1% incline
3 laps @ 4.5 mph
1 lap @ 5.0 mph

20 Stairs on the actual stairmaster thing @ level 5

Leg Curls
1x15 @ 30 pounds
1x13 @ 35 pounds
1x10 @ 40 pounds

Leg Extensions
1x15 @ 30 pounds
1x11 @ 35 pounds
1x9 @ 40 pounds

My goal was to make 15 pounds but to fail on the last two sets. Anyway, it felt really good to be in the gym. Going to the gym just helps out in my outlook and perspective for the day :)

Good Morning!

Well, I am finally making my way to the gym this morning!! I still haven't decided what I am going to do today, but I'm thinking arms or legs today. I will have a detailed list of what I did today when I get back from the gym.

I need to get back on track with my eating also. I know this past week I ate really bad... lots of coffee, fast food, and etc. But not this coming week. Anyway, thanks for everyone's encouragement to me this past year. I've really needed it.
