Tips for Work Out Confidence & $50 gift card giveaway

58 Comments

Dressing for your current size.  This past week I was able to attend a Fitness Magazine Meet and Tweet event in NYC.  It was a fun a event with great opportunities to learn about fitness and healthy living.   Oh yea did you happen to notice the picture above.. Yes that is me towering over the greatest female soccer player of all time!  MIA HAMM ..omg.  Check out my post /video tomorrow on the entire event.

There was a Fitness Fashion Show,  then style editor from Fitness Argy Koutsothanasis provided  2 of  my favorite tips:

  • Best Accessory is confidence it looks good on anyone (this  is the same thing I was saying last week in the confidence post)
  • Dress for your current size,  if you read my post last week you will realize I thing it is import to be comfortable in your skin no matter what size you are

Prior to going  to NYC, I went and purchased some clothes for this event.  The reason I think clothes that fit properly are important and they are an instant boost yourself confidence.  Don’t wait till you are a size 8 when you are a size 16  from a 22.  A great outfit will make you feel empowered no mater what size. .

That includes when you workout,  when you go to the gym and see the “smaller” women looking good. So you think.. “she is just showing off her rocking body (bitch)”.. well I say “yea for her!”  She worked hard to have that body. she could have been where you are right now.

I  might not be tiny.  I want to celebrate what I have accomplished this so far.  Now,  I am not saying it is not OK to wear your husband’s tee and sweat pants.  But If I need a pick me up I get dressed up in clothes that make me look great!

Look at the difference wearing clothes that promote the FRUMP.

Wearing an outfit that fits,  I can stand tall with, Buy clothes for the size you currently are.

This week fitness:

  • Monday in NYC and walked, 2week challenges
  • Tues Home got 10K steps in 2week challenges
  • Wed NYC for the fitness blogger 2week challenges
  • Thurs  I worked and rested (I feel like I was majorly slacking)
  • Friday walked 2week challenges

This weeks Food:

After last confidence  post and everyone supporting me with such great comments, over 400 people view in 1 day.  I ended going to my inlaws and let the weekend of buffets begin- lets try 5 over the course of the weekend.  I stuck to the green and fish items,  stayed away from sauces(but I did eat more than I should).  It was like I know I should not be eating this,  but I did good this week I inspired people  (and we are back ay my Weightloss Games, which I realized Sunday evening.)   The rest of the week I did well.  Needless to say with my slow down in activity and food I think they balanced them out.  So no loss or gain.  I feel like the little engine that could with a few trips to the bathroom, snackbar, and snooze on the couch.

Next weeks Goals:  for next week Write down everything I eat, and move more.

I will carry on.. one telephone pole to one telephone pole.. it starts with a step , so I am going to continue. Thank for giving me the drive to continue.

I got this!

Confidence & Goals #FitnessFriday

27 Comments

This past week, I did  not win  the Mamavation Mom contest.  I was surprise how many people expected me to  be upset about not winning, or that I was not going to continue getting healthy because of the loss. The thing is that is not me, anyone who knows me,  knows that once I get something in my head, I proceed. I really don’t like people telling  me I cant do something.  I lost simply because I did not have enough votes, really it is all good.

In my life I have lost probably about 100+ pounds.  I am not a serial dieter.  Actually, I have only every dieted 3 times in my life (sophomore in college, before I got married, and when I did the 3 day breast cancer walk). The reason is I am NOT unhappy if I am plus size. I  know that is a statement  that would bother “some” people.  Because most people think if you are overweight… “you must be unhappy”.  Nope not me..My body size does not affect my confidence level,  I am confident regardless of my size.

Also I do think that.. I am a beautiful women, and I accept it as a truth in my life, it just makes everything easier.  I have seen women struggle with self-esteem,  telling me they “Feel like the only thing they control in their life is there weight”.   I think that is sad, that someone told you it looks are that important,  want to shake them saying “You can be and do anything!”    I think everyone is beautiful… you just have to believe it.  I happen to love the fact that I am tall, I have long legs, great nose,  and my breast are small, it makes me look smaller than I appear.

I am actually pretty good at losing the first 30 pounds.   By my experience, most fat people are very good at losing weight the problem is the long term keeping it off  through portion control  and inactivity.  So why am I overweight it is simple; I love to eat, love to sit,watch TV and I have a husband that thinks I am sexy no mater what size I am (lets face it I would not be with him if he said otherwise.)

So why NOW, do I want to get healthy?   If you watched my mamavation application video.. it is because of my health and lack of good health care. So things have to change so I can grow old with my husband and be there to see my grandkids.

Yes,  I will have  struggles at  losing weight, get frustrated,  tired and don’t want to do be good.. but I am hoping my better head will prevail.

GOALS So I decided this week I want to set fun goals to strive for in the next year.  Things that I wanted to do once I get in a healthier place weight-wise.

  1. I want to have a picture taken by PinUp Photographer Celeste Giuliano.  I love the look of a 1950 pin up girl.  I just think it would be really fun to do.   Check out some of her work, they are inspiring to me. Yes I could do the picture now .. but it is a goal.
  4. I want to wear point heels- reason when you are big you feel hurt in high heels
  5. I want to shop in regular stores being a size 12 would be nice,  the clothes are better.  I don’t think I will every be a size 6 or 8 (height thing.. and Cindy Crawford she is I think a 12)
  6. Airplane seat.. I want to sit with room on both sides in an airline seat.
  7. I want to buy a bicycle where my height is the biggest reason it need to be custom and not my weight.
  8. I want to water ski and get up ( I got up once in high school)
  9. I want to own a Vintage 50’s dress. The cool kind like you would wear to a party at the club. There is a local store called retro vintage.. I want to shop there.
  10. I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle
  11. I want to ride a horse again and not feel like I am hurting the animal
  12. I want to amusement ride were I am under the max weight (Like the Sky Bike at the Franklin Institute)
  13. I want to run a 5 k completely (no walking)

So this week was a great week:

  • Monday walked with the kids and did exercises with mamavation
  • Tues walked 10k steps at mall.  Then ran with Fleet Feet North Whales, and did mamavation #2weekchallenge
  • Wed Ran around the block walked walked 10k steps at mall.  Then ran with Fleet Feet North Whales, and did mamavation #2weekchallenge
  •  Thurs: walked with kids and did mamavation #2weekchallenge
  • Friday walk with kids and did mamavation #2weekchallenge

Food: I have been eating healthy for the past 2 week.  I need to make sure I am eating enough.  I need to talk to a nutritionist

Weight loss 263  -1   (started at 271)

Question of the week!  So what do you love about yourself? or What is a fun goal you want to accomplish?

My two worlds comming together! Support & Mamavation

5 Comments

SUPPORT What does that  mean for me ?  The past week  I have learned that I am getting support from all sorts of different places.  As you might know I am a finalist for the Mamavation Mom Campaign.  Voting has been going on the past week. If you want vote go here.  My family and friends have been voting/sharing with their friends.  My Aunts and uncles have been talking with their friends and voting.  My Sister-in-law who never reads bloggs got my mother online to vote.   A friend from church Kara asked her entire running train group to vote for me this past week.  I love how my offline community has gotten on line to show support emailing their friends and ask there groups to vote for me.   Thank you!

In the past year ..I have heard of talk about online friends not being “real” friends which I think is BS. Many of my online friends have become offline friends through conferences, and other events.   But what about the friends you have never met face to face.

I tweeted on a Saturday night my daughter go sick 11pm at night.  I had twitter friends who showed concern when it happened and some followed up with me on her health for the next few days.  I don’t think I told my parents about her getting sick.. but because I share parts of my life on twitter in real time my tweeps (twitter friends) are there and supporting.  Then many went on to share my Mamavation tweets.

Here are some thank you to my online tweeps for there support this last week.

My lovely friend Lori of Miss Ruby Sue put up a giveaway post for me on her site for a lovely handmade  doll.   Lori and I met on line a few years ago when we are on Good Morning America together.  Lori is for a different world from me she is Idaho and is a Mormon , 2 things I am not,  we talk for hours and it is like a breath of fresh air when I talk to her.  I adore her,  she is a wonderful sounding board and fabulous  lady.

The regular commenters on my Fitness Friday post Barb, Stephanie, Diane, Hillary, and Jo-Lynne  know that they will be reading my fitness Friday post every week has kept me going. I know that they will be there  every week reading and linking up to my posts.   Thanks girl for keeping me going since January.  Something can be said about online accountability

CecilyK a great friend who asked her followers  to vote for ma as a birthday wish. Cecily originally an online friends has turned in to an amazing off line friend and a voice of reason in my life and I love her for that.

Last Monday while sitting on a train coming back from NYC, I was overwhelmed by the online support for my trek to be the Mamavation mom.  Most of my online friend who have step up to the plate and ask there fans/flowers to vote for me.  Moved to tears of happiness I was reading the comments and well wishes of my friends.  I am truly honored by your support.

So to those who say that who you meet online is not real.  It is just a means to start a relationship.  For me those relationships are supportive and nurturing.   So do I think linking up with a group online will work for me to loose weight.  You betcha.. long as I am honest.  Because my support will be watching me as I go.

I hope I win tonight to be one of the Mamavation Moms for Campaign 12.  If I don’t’ I will continue for every person who voted for me, shared my story, and talk to a friend in my behalf.

 

So how did I do this week.

I went from 267 (last week it was from 267-265)  to

263  (down a firm 4)

I am finally eating better and seeing results.  It must be from keep the food journal on line.

This post is part of the mamavation monday link up

UPDATE: I did not win the #MamavationMom contest @weightsover and @lilacmomma did the ladies are going to be awesome! Good Luck to them!

Mamavation Monday- Changing a Family

29 Comments

This past week has been interesting. I have been eating way better and have increased my running. But I also gained some help not only from the mamavation team….  My son age 11 has committed himself to me.  He is a competitive swimmer,  something that I have always encouraged because with health issues that run in our family diabetes  and  psoriatic arthritis .One of my biggest gifts to give him is a love of Physical activity of a life long sport like swimming.  Right now,  he is taking a beak from his beloved sport for spring after 3 year straight of swimming (he normally swims over 100 laps a night).  Telling me “Mom I want to swim this summer and back in the fall because I want the 5 year plaque.” (swimming will continue)

My son is a great trainer pushing me and  he wants to walk/run with me.  It is a challenge for him also even though he does dry land with swimming, they run around the track once.  So my son is jogging with me around the block.. which this week is the big block 2 + miles.  We do a run walk combo.  He also told me he wants to do the 5K with me in June.

But the biggest surprise came last night.  My husband was joking with my son and asked him if he wanted to walk home. He said yes,  I joined him we walked 3 + miles home from the restaurant.  We left while my daughter was in the restroom.  Once I returned home my husband told me  our daughter age 7 was very upset.  Basically she threw down at the restaurant because she wanted to walk with us.

I said to my husbands “She would have never made it,  She was exhausted”  he agreed..but she was not having any of that..

She cried  “I wanted to go”

She has been asking since I started. running, But I thought it was too far for her little legs.

She then told me “Mommy I have been training at school.  I walk every second recess around the big circle (large playground) .. since you started running in the winter.”

Crush my heart she has been running since January.. she never told me.  She just kept saying she could do it.  I walk/run in the morning while they are at school normally, so I never gave it a thought.  She wants to do what I do and be with me. Bless her heart and I will be a better Mom.

The little voices in my life needed to be heard.. and my new good habits are rubbing off.

I am getting a great sense of clarity on what is import. I am loving the quality time with my son (soon with my daughter) I am getting on these walks.  They are eating better already!!

Physical activity:

  • Monday 16th- walked and did Mamavation hazing
  • Tuesday 17th -walked/ran 1.5 miles with club and did the hazing
  • Wednesday 18th- walked/ran 2 miles did hazing
  • Thursday 19th- walked/ran 2 miles did both hazings
  • Friday 20th walked/ran 2 miles did both hazings
  • Saturday 21st walked/ran with club 1.75 miles, walked 2 miles at zoo, walked 3 miles  home from restaurant did hazing and took two ibuprofen, fell asleep with my daughter.

Food:

I got better with my food middle to the end of the week. I am taking the process seriously. It is very grueling to be the next Mamavation Mom.   Wish me luck I hope I am chosen to be a finalist announced tomorrow night.

weight  269-267

Feeling- Great more energy and know everything is fitting better

I am a Finalist… Please vote for me BABYPOP!!

Update: 4/30- I did not win Mamavation Mom  but I will still continue the battle for a healthy life.

Cracks in my Pavement #FitnessFriday

1 Comment

So I think more why am I not losing, cracks =doubt….  The truth is like to eat (hello I am over weight for a reason).  When I was diagnosed 3years ago as a diabetic I weighted 297 pounds that is right 3lb away from 300lb.  Over the last 3 years I have lost 30 lb.  The reasons is you can loose weight when you have out of control diabetes,  some is because I am trying to cut sugar and eat better.   But now I am at 267 and standing still  no real loss… So in January I started working out  I figured the work out would help and it is.

But my real problem is I cheat .. I love butter, salt, pasta, and cheese (My cracks).   I talk myself if I eat veggies with butter and salt. Pasta I cann’t stop at a cup,  I have to eat 3,  so portion control is an issue.  I stay up late and get the 12 oclock munchies.. I head for cheese of chips next thing I know I eat almost a full meal. Bad Sherry.

Every time I diet,  I get to this point.. right around 30 lb I start to play mental games with myself.  Bargaining and trading with my food saying,  oh I can have this one thing..   So what am I going to do?  I am going to hold myself accountable push through it.

As you know I am applying to be the Next Mamavation Mom from my Friday Fitness last week.  I find out this Monday  if.. I mean when.. I make the finals, then voting starts.    If I don’t,  I still plan on following along at on my own using the support of the Mamavation community.  I signed up for the Mamavation 2 week challenge it starts April 30th.

I did drink the BookieBoo/ Mamavation Juice.  Because I am too strong and tired of playing games with myself.

  • I will miss you butter, salt, 2 cup of pasta, and extra cheese.
  • I want to listen too myself when I am full, eat more often smaller meals,  and not go for the bad stuff.
  • I want to be the best I can be and be there for my family.   It starts with me.

I am going to post my weight on Monday Mamavation For the Carnival Link Up.

I ran this week I ran and worked out it is getting easier and I am going longer.

I am Strong enough I can do this!!!

Thanks for your continued support

This week is a little different.  I noticed my family is really with my program.  Last week we went to an Easter egg hunt in the same park as the dog park.  Of course I took the dog- Lloyd need to be socialized.   After the egg hunt my son said Mom let go to the dog park.

I said “ok lets go get the car.”

He said “no mom you are trying to be healthy lets walk.”  So he made we walk down and back up the hills to the dog park.

Then tonight I said you want to go for a run her said yea sure.  I can also see changes he is aware of his choices.  My son is a competitive swimmer but season we are taking a spring off.  He said “Mom I am not eating as much because I am not swimming.  I just noticed I am not as hungry”.  I am impressed we do not discuss weight or fat in our house we talk about healthy choices.

He is my own personal trainer.

This week I joined the Fleet Feet North Whales Running Program.  It went well I showed up 3 minute late and missed the start I ran ¼ of a mile to catch up only for the group I thought I was chasing take off running.. Just when I thought they were switching to walking they ran faster.  So know I know not to be late this Saturday.

So this week I am applying to be a Mamavation mom. If I am chosen I will work with the Mamavation team in a 6 week boot camp.  Which will include nutrition  help, fitness help and just basically a good old fashion fitness kick in the pants.  I really admired Leah Segedie aka @Bookieboo  and the community of support she gives to women to help them create a healthier life.

Here is the video why I want to be a Mamavation mom.

How can you help me?  Please tweet this for me:

Hey @bookieboo! I want @Babypop  to be the next #Mamavation Mom. She has my support! http://bit.ly/aorv3Y

Then If I am chosen as finalist please vote for me.

Thanks for your continued support.

Friday Fitness the Power of a Photo!

8 Comments

So this past week I can make all sorts of excuses I ran and I walked and I walks and ran. The  She Streams conference was great,  I did not run on the beach.  I did watch what I ate. I have moved this week,  cleaning and staying some what focused.  I had much to accomplish, So I fell behind on blog posts.   I will get caught up and it is all good.(it is ok to let myself off the hook).. I know Blah Blah Blah

So this week I was feel ok…. At She Streams I fit into a skit I was saving for Blogher strictly because the skirt was too tight. Well…  last week I tried the skirt on before the conference and it fits!! (it fits like a progresso soup commercial-  me talking into a tin can..is there a women I can talk to )

So as everyone was wait to head to dinner Saturday Night. ” I said I have to change to rock the skirt that I worked to fit into.”  Everyone at The Mother Company dinner  was very supportive towards my need for fashion, and also to judge my weight loss by a skirt… .   Yea I rocked the sequin skirt!!!  check me out above!

They also took a group shot and I did not hate myself in the picture looking like the Amazon in the back.. Check out the The Mother Company Blogger Dinner Photo.

So this is a week of pictures for me. Yesterday my Mother inlaw was done and we took a picture.  The one below with me in white is last summer the other photo is me with her today.  Yea I do look different.. the Power of a photo.

Fitness Friday, Conference, and Wine {with Linky}

4 Comments

Last week’s Fitness Friday I was very serious.  This week… well not so much.. So this week I am in sunny Ft. Lauderdale for SheStreams. I am loving the support I am getting from the other bloggers and business owners. I would like to say I have been great but i also have not been bad.  I made great choices last night  Seared Tuna on salad.   I also made a trip when I arrived and got a bag of apples.  I love apples and they are a great quick snack. Disclosure …  (wine is included with the blogging of this post or as it is know drogging or winogging) and yes I was egged on my my roommate Deb of Just Short of Crazy her name says it all.

So I am really not inspired about fitness tonight.

Fitness this week

Monday: ran around the block

Tues: ran /walked around the block (deb found this to add) From Etsy seller Auntmemmy

Wednesday: ran walked around the block.. the dog was scared of old lady in pink house coat picked up her newspaper.. worthless doberman.

Thurs:  plane , airport, got nails  done and walked to nails salon

Friday, SheStreams, no running, might go out dancing, and blogging with 2 glasses wine..

Don’t judge.

I might run on the beach tomorrow.. this is exactly why mamavation does not want to going on vacation while you are doing her boot camp, because you fall off the diet fitness horse. HARD

How was your week….

Undies and Diabetes #fitnessfriday

8 Comments

So I want to know do you wear underwear while running?  This past week on tues I wore workout compression shorts that were a tad too small… to run the problem was I wore nylon underwear.  Every stride I took on my run the shorts slip down butt (or as I like to say – junk in the trunk), and my undies were exposed.  Did I mention the undies were beige, it look like I was flashing the neighborhood.   So picture me running, pulling up my shorts and holding the dog.. What a sight needless to say not an effective run.

The more I continue on this journey I want to tell you a little more about my health issues.  The main one (of many) is the fact I am a type 2 Diabetic. I was not always one(it is in my family),  when I had my son I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes which is a precursor for adult on set Diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes. If I watched myself got in better health, after my son I could have avoid the disease.   I was consider borderline, I did not watch my health.  Then I had my daughter I did not get  Gestational Diabetes,  but I was borderline.  When I left the hospital they said you need to be careful. Yea Yea Yea I thought and lived the same not exercising or watching what I eat.

Then my husband got sick. I was stressed, overworked, and sad would.. I have to live this way for every watching him sick and caring for him I am 37.  Loving my husband, angry and depressed  over the situation. In about June of that year I had signs:

  • I was sad,  the kind of depression I have never felt (crying)
  • I also was peeing alot after every glass of liquid
  • My vision was unclear
  • I could not mental focus

I went to the Doctor.  I told her to run the test but I knew I had Diabetes,  she asked how I knew.. I said the peeing,  I drank water and peed 5 min later.   She said with everything I was going through at home,  that stress could have been the last straw to trigger my diabetes over the edge.

She also explained that depression and lack of focus is a sign of it as well. Since I was not normally depressed.   The vision is also a sign. The doctor put me on some pills and sent me for diabetes education.  She also said I have to start doing 30 minutes of exercise.   So I went to the class and took the drugs.. But never started to exercise.

3 years later..this past January I started  walk/run and fitness Fridays.  The reason

  1. I need to make it to my children graduation, wedding and want to see my Grandkids  (if my kids choose).
  2. The other reason our health insurance sucks. I can only go to see my dr. 3 times a year.  I need to see her every 3 months. So the healthier I get the better off I am.   So yes I am also financial motivated.
  3. The other reason I feel in my 40’s I am an open book. I want to share my journey and you as readers are keeping me going. I say what will they say if i don’t do something or I give up all of my readers want me to succeed.

It is funny as I write this post.. it bothers me how did I get here,  why cant I just take care of my health. I can accomplish great things with my family and my career but I have a block with my weight. I hope my open honest approach to these posts will move me past what comfort I find in food. That is my wish for myself.   The cycle ends with me and does not move on to my children.

Fitness Friday Proper Sneaker {Linkyup}

17 Comments

So this week, has been a week of commitment on my fitness journey.  I Signed up for a dietbet with Brandi at onegreatmom.com,  nothing like a little money to keep things out of your mouth.  The Bet official starts tomorrow with our 1st weigh in. I am excited  I need more accountability for food.

Then I signed up for the running training program with Fleet Feet Sports North Wales.  I recently was introduced to fleet feet by Joey Fortman and Ann Marie one of the owners this past Wednesday.  I will be working with them for training and they are out fitting me with proper sneaker/attire.  I was impress by the sneaker fitting I received and I learned things I did not know, because I have been doing to the big box stores. Here are some tips Ann Marie at Fleet Feet provided:

Proper Sneaker Fitting:

  • Have feet measured without socks (what you measured at 12 years old is probably not your current measurement.)
  • Have your foot measured in resting(sitting positions) and standing.
  • The Running store personnel should understand how you walk- (IE have you walk so they can see how your ball and heel hit and roll off the floor.  Then they can recommend a shoe that is designed for your foots needs.
  • Where design/color is nice a running/walking shoe should be about fit and support 1st,  so that you get proper performance.
  • In an athletic shoes it is better to go up a 1/2 size and have room (So mine sneakers are a 11 1/2 argh but it is about being the right shoe and not the size)
  • What does a good fitting sneaker feel like: “Heal should be supported, arch should be wrapped like a glove and your toes should be able to play a piano” Per AnnMarie
  • Fleet Feet Sports North Whales is nice because they allow you to actually run in the shoes outside, to insure comfort and fit.
  • If you are serious about a sport you should be serious about the shoes.
  • Also a good running store will take back the product at any point if you are not satisfied. That is the philosophy AnnMarie and her team have.

Ann Marie’s other Key advice : If you buy a good sneaker be sure to have a great sports bra just as important (but that is a separate post)

Thanks to Stephaine at aGrandlife.net for her foot

Fitness Week:

  • Monday: Walk and run
