So I've had a bad bout of luck for the last 6months, not being able to workout, not wanting to workout, depression and just in a bad mood.
Last night I went to bed and I made myself promise to get up early and workout.
Well one of the two I did. I didn't get up till 6:30am even thou I've been awake since 5am.
So I did work and when I got to a good stopping point I took out my workout gear and did the following workout. It was short, but intense and better then nothing.
I had the following equipment:
Exercise Ball, Jump Rope, a stool, 7lb. dumbells, stretchy band and my house.
For a warmup I walked 5 mins up and down my freaking long hallway.
First Set I did 3x
Stretchy Band, sideways walk, 10steps each direction.
Stretchy Band Bicep Curls 12 reps
Plank in Pushup position 30sec.
40 jumps with Jumprope
These are done back to back and 30sec. rest in between.
Second Set I did 2x
Dumbell Stepups, each side 10x
Ball Situps 12x
I am sweating like crazy but I am feeling accomplished. I will do this workout 3x this week.

It's been a month...
And what a month it has been. I was sick then my son got sick with Scarlet fever, it was terrible.
I haven't worked out in a while and I am not going to for a few more days. My mom is leaving after visiting for 9weeks.
So this blog was put on hold for a while.
But stay tuned for new posts. :D

12weeks Day 1
So I hate to do Cardio, I will do it, but I am not a fan of it. So today I was looking thru BodyBuilding.com 's web-site and I found a workout plan that I liked. So I dl the app and it's pretty cool cause you can input the reps and weight you use and I even did 30mins of cardio. Yay me.
I am so happy I can go back to the gym. Today was back and biceps day. To make the bicep exercise a bit more challenging I did the curls on the BOSU Ball. And in the end I added some Abs to the workout.
I think it is important that you have fun at the gym. I love lifiting weight and doing Cardio classes, but to be honest, now that I run my own business I am not happy spending 2hrs a day in the gym. So I am really looking forward to this where I spend about 1hrs a day in the gym.
I also changed my diet very much, I do no eat any carbs from beads, potatos, pasta or rice with Dinner. And so far so good.
I weighed in this am at 260lb, that is a total weight loss since January of 15lb. I am ok with that.
I also ordered some protein Powders, cause i heard with this band you can bake. We'll see.

Food Poisoning... and weird dreams
So this past Monday I ordered Pizza like I always to and we ate. Well by 9pm, my husband, daughter and I are taking turns who gets to say hi to the porcelain gods.
Yup you guessed it food poisoning. I got sick so many times that night I lost count. My poor daughter hit her nose and has a bruise now on the bridge of her nose. We just had a miserable couple of days at my house. Of course I got it the worst. It took me 3 days to get over it and I still don't feel 100%. But I went grocery shopping yesterday and I am pumped to cook again and get back on track. And then it also helps that I dreamed of Jared last night wanting to know why I named a blog after him and why I was cooking for him. I told him my story and he loved it. And then I was in the gym and my friend Ariel, kept yelling at me to do more squats.
But I woke up and was excited to start this day and log my food and eat good. I had energy. Well it's passed noon and the steam kind of went out of me. I think I need a nap. But I know I will be better by Monday to get to the gym and workout. I have to be. Cause I have an image in my head what I wanna look like in September. And it is reachable.
So don't ever let stuff bring you down, get back up brush it off and keep going. I owe this much to myself.

Sigh...
This is an emotional roller coaster. I haven't been in the gym in 2 weeks, I am eating ok, but I have not lost any weight. I am depressed. I don't know why, but I feel a bit down lately. So I need to pick myself up and get going again. A friend of mine lost 177lb. she is such an inspiration. Another friend always posts really motivational stuff on her FB and I love reading them. But somehow, I am in the downy dumps.
Well what am I going to do?
The last weekend of Faire approaches and that is good, it will lift a huge stress factor off my shoulders. I don't have to worry about politics, stepping on nobody's toes, dont' have to worry about my daughter's grades, or if she did her homework. I can breathe, well somewhat as I am doing a convention right after with my small business SewGeekAustin . But that is my stuff, I don't have to make stuff for others or depend on them, it's just me. So I can breathe again.
Also I got swamped with orders and feel like I need to take care of my customers, but that is not true, they can wait one more day, I need to be healthy for me, cause if I am not, then they won't get their stuff at all.
Oh wow, that just made a bunch of sense.
So I am going to blog more again and I will have more recipe's in my food blog as well.
I bet you are looking forward to my rambelings... see you soon.

Running after the Wagon...
So the last week has been pretty terrible. Not just eating wise but emotional as well. So I kind of fell of the Wagon and the scales showed it.
So this morning I woke up and decided it's time to get back on the Wagon, well chase after it and then get back on.
I made Banana Pancakes, gluten free and they are delicious. You can find my recipe in my other Blog: Cooking for Jared Padalecki and decide for yourself. They didn't look like much, but they filled me up and were tasty.
I need to remember drinking more water and tea again, since my mom has been here, I have been drinking to much coffee. So that's my goal for this week, log food and drink water. I am also going to a convention this weekend, but the good thing is, I can make Salads in a Jar and I am staying at my house, so I don't have to worry to much about bad foods.
Then we have only one more weekend at the Faire and one more Con right after that and then I have 2 months with nothing going on on the weekends. So I can get my gym schedule back on track.
This week there is no Gym at all, I have to make merchandise and fill orders for the convention and I hope to maybe get a walk in the next two days.
We shall see.
Anyways, I am back on the Wagon.

Burn out... (anoter a-ha moment)
No not from dieting or exercise... that's not it.
It's just these last 2.5 months have been taxing. I have not spend one weekend at home since December 29th. I spend it at the faire. It was fun and all, but I realized today I need a break.
I got home last weekend and I was just mentally drained. All week felt like a burden and the constant catching up is really tearing at me. So I decided to take this weekend off from everything I need a break to get my creative juices flowing again.
Well and I want to spend it with my mom who just flew in and is going to spend 8 weeks with us (yay no laundry)
I just had to get this off my chest. I just feel that I let people down but you know what I am not that person anymore, I don't have to be there every waking minute, cause if I am not I will be sternly talked to and told that I don't care. I am my own person, I need to take care of myself. Cause this past week I didn't go to the gym, I ate ok, but not as clean as I could./should have so there was no change on the scale which sucks. But it is what it is, this new piece of information is of great value to me for the future. I am saying NO, I can say NO and I will say NO.
Mental healthy is as much a part of this journey as the physical one. So here is to good mental health, Take care of youself.

It's cold which needs Comfort food...
Winter this year here in Texas has been weird. We had more than usual freezing days. Today is one of those days and it is March...
So I was sitting in my office working when I got a hankering for Lentil Soup. It's something that reminds me of my childhood. We used to get the canned Lentil Soup from Germany (as I am from Switzerland, Germany was only 20mins away)... and my mom would cut up hot dogs and put them in. I always loved that soup and I made many variations of it.
So I braved the cold and got the stuff I needed for my Soup... and this is not a runny soup it is thick and hearty cause that is how I like it.
Here is what went into the pot today:
1 box of organic Beef Broth (4 cups)
1 yellow onion chopped
3 celery stalks chopped
4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
8 slices of Turkey Bacon
3 cups of uncooked lentils
12 ounces of organic pork Kielbasa (optional)
4 cups of water
First you heat ups some oil, I use coconut oil. Sautee the onions and the celery, once they are glassy looking add the bacon, cook for a couple of minutes. Then add seasoning. I like salt and pepper and thyme. You can use whatever you like. Then add the lentils, I gave them a quick rinse and mix them up. Then add the broth and 4 cups of water, add the carrots and let this simmer for a bit. You might have to add more water as I let mine simmer all afternoon I know I need to add more water, as the lentils will absorb it.
Then about an 30mins before you eat add the kielbasa... This makes about 12 servings.
1 Serving is: 212 calories, 9grams of fat, 2.5g saturated fat, 24 Carbs, 12g of fiber, 4.4 sugars and 19g of Protein. Pretty dang healthy.
Bon Apetit

Eating Healthy while camping at the Renaissance Faire...
So of all things I am the Chocolate Fairy out at Sherwood Forest Faire. This is my second year doing this, I was working at a booth the 3 years before that. But anyway, so last year I ate not that great out there, I had Faire food most of the time and well it just wasn't that healthy.
This year I made a change, and it helps that my friend Angela, is close and we help each other remembering that we do need to eat...
So Here are a few things that have helped me to eat better out there.
Breakfast:
I precook egg scramble, with Turkey sausage, egg whites, veggies (whatever I have, this weekend it's mushrooms, bell peppers), I can heat those up in a microwave in a trailer and make Breakfast Tacos. Yeah I know the Tortillas are not the best, but hey I am about to walk 7 miles.
This week I am also bringing Chia Pudding, cause they are yummy and I can either eat them as breakfast or a snack.
Lunch:
I either have a sandwich on a sandwich round or a Salad in a Jar... We also started to do a character lunch inside the fair and I usually have some fruit, lunch meat and cheese.
Dinners:
Friday we eat at home and then leave...So we get to the Fair before 10pm just in time to go to bed.
Saturday one of us usually make a big one pot meal and people bring stuff to add on. This weekend we'll have a veggie stew with Tofu (not sure about that) and Angela is making her super yummy turkey chili. Which I probably will eat.
Snacks:
This is the important thing... we have fruit, grapes are always good, strawberries, and tangerines. Then I also have protein bars and I made some energy bites.
So if you make an effort, you can definitely eat healthy Camping at the Fair.

Breakfast and headaches...
The Importance of Breakfast...
This morning it occured to me, how important breakfast is. When I don't eat breakfast which doesn't happen that often anymore... i start craving "stupid" foods and will eat them. But when I make myself a good breakfast I don't... hmmm wonder why.
I have some standard Breakfasts that I make, I love spinach and mushroom omelets, oatmeal. When we are at the Faire, I precook an egg scramble with some Turkey sausage and whatever veggies I have. Heat that up some days I just eat it as a scramble some days I eat it in a Tortilla. But yes I need to remember to eat breakfast, it gives me energy, it makes me eat right for the rest of the day.
I really enjoy cooking it.
Now my headaches...
I don't know why but sometimes when I work out really hard I get a headache afterwards and not just a small one, pretty bad ones too. They don't occur often enough for me to stress out about them. I think it's just that I went harder than I thought. It's a throbbing headache, but they usually go away after a nap and drinking water. I think hydration has a lot to do with this as well. I know I didn't hydrate properly yesterday and I am sure that had something to do with it.
Other than that I am still on the train... I am enjoying Body Combat again and look forward to those classes...
So drink your water and eat your breakfast.

Finding Motivation ...
- Today was one of those days.... where I had to dig deep to find motivation to do anything. I have been battlling depression for 4 years (well that's when I was diagnosed) I was on medication and seeing a therapist. And once I got rid of the toxic friend I got a lot better. There are still days, where I don't want to get out of bed. Today was one of those days. I started to read a story last night stayed up till past 1am to finish it and then was really tired in the morning. It was way past noon, when I finally decided to get my fat ass up and do something. So I worked and at 4 pm I had dug deep enough and felt guilty enough to go on a walk. I walked 2 miles with my dog and I am ok with that. :D The headache that I had is gone and I am feeling better. I also had a really healthy dinner, I made stir fry. I used Coconut Oil and I did not eat any rice. So I am good. I think maybe for dessert I have some fruit as I still have some calories left in my day.
- Yeah sometimes... you just have to dig deep to get the courage to workout and know it's for the best. YOU are responsible for your success, NOBODY else... Sometimes that is really hard and sometimes it's easier. It's never easy. Tonight is Supernatural on and I am going to bed after. So that tomorrow I feel good about hitting the gym for Combat at 9:30am. I want this so bad that I can taste it.
- I also went into my closet today and got my favorite pair of heels out. I want to wear them for my Photo OP with Jared. They are so cute and I want to get a dress to go with them preferrable in a size 12, if it's a 14 I am ok with that too. :D

Weigh In... Sam Winchester is tough on me...
I had weigh in this am at 266. Which is 9lb. since January 15th... So yes I am getting there one step at a time. I know this weight didn't get eaten back on over night, so it will take a while to get it off. But in hindsight almost 10lb in a month is actually pretty good.
So what did I change? WELL: I started to track my foods again. Yes I still have pizza on Mondays, but I have chicken on mine and I make sure I only eat 2 pieces. I drink a lot of water at least 64oz. a day. I also started to go to the gym again. I do a full body workout on Tuesdays with some cardio and then Wednesday and Friday I do Body Combat which is awesome... The two instructors at the YMCA are amazing. Then on the weekends I walk at the Renaissance Faire... this weekend I walked 16miles. I also make sure I have a good breakfast and I don't buy faire food... I eat pretty healhty... with the stuff I bring. So yes, it is possible to camp and eat healthy. I am at a really good place in my head space finally it took to long, but I am getting there. Who knew that recovering from a really bad place can take this long. I also realized that there are still things in my life I have to re learn from what I had been told in the past, but I also can do that. I have a really great support group of friends on FB and we are all trying to loose weight, so that is awesome as well.
Oh and that same group is doing a little thing, we are walking to Mordor together. Each week we log how many miles we walked and then combine them in our Journey to Mordor. We left Hobbiton a little over week ago and are on our way to Rivendell. There were times this weekend where I didn't want to go back out but then was like Oh Shoot we gotta walk to Mordor... So off I went. If you would like to know more about this check out this cool site... http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2012/07/23/walking/
Today I took a rest day and apparently I needed it, I fell asleep reading and took a 2hrs nap Body is also a bit sore all over, but drinking the water will help with this and flush out some of it.
That's it for now...

Sam Winchester is my Personal Trainer...
What do you say? Well just look at these pictures...
Well anyway, since the new year I have been so busy with the Renaisannce faire, that I have not been able to get to the gym. But I am wearing my fit bit again and I have lost 4lb. since my last post. So not as bad as it could have been. So that is improvement. But I also walk about 14-18 Miles at the faire every weekend. I am also making better food choices of what I am bringing and don't gain weight during the weekend, which was always the hardest thing to do out there.
But why Sam Winchester you ask? Well I am getting a Photo OP with Jared aka Sam Winchester in September and I wanna look good and wear some damn heels and a dress. So yeah there is my motivation.
I joined the YMCA and I am so happy they have Body Combat. So today I went for the first time in over 3yrs. Well the good thing is, muscle memory is awesome, bad thing is I had to modify the jumping, first cause I am so out of shape and second my knee has been bothering me again. I got a brace that I am now wearing.
So I felt a bit intimidated when I got into the class room, cause needless to say, I was probably the only person in there that was 100lb. over weight. But I swallowed ducked my head and worked out. I had my wraps on which helps me to know where my fists are, cause yeah I hit myself before doing an upper cut.
Once I was in the groove I felt like Sam and Dean Winchester ganking beasties left and right. I know I am going to be sore, so lots of water today. Tomorrow is another day of weights and cardio and Friday is combat again. Mondays are rest days cause frankly I am pooped after the weekend at Faire.

Day 2
Yesterday, finally I started to log my food again on Lose it. And I also realized that Lose it can be connected with Fit bit. So my Fitbit is charged and on my wrist as well.
I bought lots of veggies and organic snacks. My goal is to not eat as much processed foods and lower my cab intake.
Also for my water intake, I put 3 rubber braclets on my wrist and every time I finish my 28oz. Mug I will take one off to know how much water I already consumed.
I've been really busy with work and Lars being sick, so no Gym this week, but I will get lots of walking in this weekend at the Rehearsals for Faire.
I made plans on what foods to take and make out there. Those Salads in a jar a great, on Saturday I am making Chili that I am bringing and just needs to be heated and I know I can eat that. I won't eat any of the other foods. I will have snack bars with me. And I am making eggwhite mini loafs for breakfast that can be sliced and heated.
So cross my fingers this will work.

I bought lots of veggies and organic snacks. My goal is to not eat as much processed foods and lower my cab intake.
Also for my water intake, I put 3 rubber braclets on my wrist and every time I finish my 28oz. Mug I will take one off to know how much water I already consumed.
I've been really busy with work and Lars being sick, so no Gym this week, but I will get lots of walking in this weekend at the Rehearsals for Faire.

2014 a new year a new start...
Allright... this is getting serious, I weighed in yesterday and holy crap 273lb. That can't be happening... I never been this heavy. So let's kick this in the ass.
I am a member at the YMCA now and I can do Les Mills classes again. So body Combat here I come.
I am also planning meals better for weekends. I am going to be gone every weekend for 3 months. So I decided to make Jar Salads and have those as my lunch.
I am also trying to not have starch/carbs after 4pm. I joined the Green Smoothie Challenge to get more greens and fruits in my diet and since I replace one meal with the smoothie I add some protein powder to it.
Well that's it for now...
