WEightloss Challenge CatchUp

Okay I didn't really post anything since the 16th, I was having computer issues and we had a guest and I just didn't keep track of time.

BUT, I was pretty good with sticking to eating plan despite it being that time of the month for me. And I say that because I usually crave salty things, and chocolate and fruity things too.

I can't remember exactly what I ate especially Friday and Saturday. But I did walk on Friday a pretty good walk, I have some new music so that helped me get up the hill.  I will list those songs below.

Saturday the 18th, 2013 I was on my elliptical for 20 minutes, it was difficult but I did it.
I had a lot of water, half a Coke, and like 3 glasses of tea.

+++++++

Sunday the 19th of May

I only did 15 minutes on the elliptical, and I did my yoga and stretching.  I did some grocery shopping for the week.

I had a bagel with Almond Butter and this organic jam

banana of course and water

 It is has been warm so I have been drinking even more water than usual
I drank a small coke maybe 10 oz

I had 4 Starburst candies

A Trader Jo's salad for lunch

Apple carrot juice

Dinner was 2 pieces of chicken, well the thighs skinned and deboned
beans and rice, well I just had beans
cucumbers

I ate an apple kind of for dessert.

More tea and water before going to bed.

So, there are only 10 days left in this month and I think I am seeing some results. I definitely feel better and I am in get ready for summer mode too.

I will be making more videos this week so be sure to come back.

Here is my newest play list:

Some of these songs have cuss words but you can get the radio edit which is what I prefer just a warning.  

What songs do you like to workout to?

Thanks for stopping by,

Prevention Weightloss Challenege May 14th, 2013

This was Monday

Newly motivated I woke up determined to walk or do something that would make me sweat for 30 minutes. From all my research, and it has been stated even in the article for the Prevention Weight loss Article along with dieting, you need to do some physical activity that makes you sweat for 30 minutes at least 3 times weekly but more like 5 or 6 times for best results.  I am trying to do a exercise video but it is more challenging than I thought it would be.

Started off the day as normal glass of water, banana

Green drink which is basically my breakfast

glass of water with chia seeds

lunch was a modest plate of the left over pasta from the night before

apple I would have paired that with string cheese but I didn't have any, don't you hate that? you think something is in the frig. you go for it and someone has eaten it already?  lol

dinner was chicken with salad and mixed veggies

no dessert but I had a glass of tea that was kind of sweat I mixed the PMS tea with a ginger tea and a peach detox tea and it was so hot I put ice in the tea so I drank it cold.


This is a new tea for me but it is delicious I will definitely be buying it again


I did not walk but I busted out my InMotion elliptical and used that for 20 minutes you can see that below and I did my stretching/yoga positions too.

This was a good day and easy to stick to my "plan"


Thanks for watching, and come back tomorrow! Tish Washington

I'm Giving Away My Size 20's!

http://www.loseweightnowtv.com I'm giving away my size 20's y'all. I'm so happy. I'm now in a size 16 and I have no plans of ever, ever, ever getting back to a size 20, Never! I will be on Isagenix for the rest of my life. Please don't give up on losing weight. It's hard but it feels so good.

In My Mail Today|Fasting For Weight Loss

http://loseweightnowtv.isagenix.com/us/en/nineday.dhtml

In the mail today I received my September 9 day plan from Isagenix, and since losing weight, I'm actually excited about this one. Then I talk about fasting for spiritual reasons and weight loss or healthy cleansing reasons.

After the Gumbo Party

http://loseweightnowtv.isagenix.com After the Gumbo Party at which I ate 2 small bowls of Gumbo and more pieces of chicken then I care to mention, I am really focused this week as it is a week of my Isagenix Program. I use the 9 day program because I can actually stick to it. I'm still doing the 2 minute ab routine and my leg magic 3 times a day for a minute each time.

Too Busy, Too Hot, Just More Excuses!

Well yet another Friday has come and gone, and I did not wiegh in.
I haven't been on the tread mill all week, I didn't even walk the dog this week.
It has been so hot here in California, even the dog just lays around! lol.

And, I have had pizza twice this week, and I ate a pint of ice cream last weekend! Yes, a pint, all by myself. But it's okay. Tomorrow is a new day right? As I type this blog entry, I am baking some chicken and we will be having rice and vegetables too. It's supposed to be a little cooler tomorrow, so I will make it a point to get on the tread mill, and I promised the dog I would walk him tonight.

My business is picking up and so my team is growing, which means I am doing a lot of training. So there again is another distraction (excuse) for me not exercising. But nothing interferes with my Leg Magic, I love that machine. Even one of my 10 year old's friend loves my Leg Magic. When he comes over he gets on it and uses it.

Other than those backtracks, I think I'm doing okay. I am still drinking plenty of water, and eating a lot of fruit, a lot of fruit. I wish I could live off fruit!

I went to the grocery store and I was amazed how easy it was for me to pass up the chip aisle, and I didn't even glance at the chocolates they put by the cash register to entice you to see which ones were on sale, ha! So, I know my attitude is changing towards healthier choices and I feel really good about that.

So stay tuned, this week I will be really focused. On August 1st I'm going to a Gumbo Party! And you know I am not holding back! lol So I will be focused on my eating and my workouts. Isn't that a shame, my whole motivation to be good this week, is so I can pig out on Saturday lol! Whatever works right?

Live blessed, not broke!

1 Reason I'm Fat

There are many reasons we gain weight. Some people believe it is hereditary and there's nothing you can do about it. And I really hate those commercials that tell us it's not our fault that we're fat. Most of the reasons, this is just what I believe, that we as people are overweight is we are hiding some type of pain, and trying to drown out that hurt with food. We're unhappy about something and eating feels good, so we do it. Over and over again. For others it's just a wrong ratio of eating to exercise. For me, it's a little of both. I am coming off a very traumatic last 2 years of my life, in which I over ate and did not exercise. But I recognize this and that is why I'm making the steps to lose this 100 pounds. So enjoy this video.

The Dawn Keye Diet

This made me laugh so I wanted to share it with you.


Finally....a diet that really works.
A friend of mine, a nurse, who has done a lot of research about dieting, had given me information about the various popular diets including Atkins, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, and the South Beach Diet.

She then mentioned a diet about which I hadn't heard previously, but which she insists works for almost everyone. It's called the Dawn Keye Diet.

Organic Coconut Oil Aids in Weight Loss

It is generally known that having high levels of cholesterol can cause negative effects to the body. The necessity of eating healthy and living healthy is incorporated with low cholesterol in the body. Having high cholesterol presents a much larger risk of heart disease, or even a fatal heart attack. There are different methods to lower cholesterol in the body. One method is certain drug treatment while the other is consuming food supplements or nutrients, such as Organic Coconut Oil that can help you lower your cholesterol level naturally. You decide which method to use but a more natural choice usually better. You can make a diet plan to check your cholesterol intake and it can help you maintain a lower cholesterol level that can reduce the risk of negative effects on the body.

In order to be healthy with lower cholesterol, you need to be informed about the proper foods and weight loss program needed to achieve this goal. You must always remember that a diet basically needs your respect, dedication and determination. You will need your full discipline to conquer your bad habits and change into more healthy ways. Below are some tips that are advisable to follow in order to get lower cholesterol levels.

Eliminate fat or minimize the amount of fat that you eat. Go for the healthier choices like skimmed milk, light cheese, and Organic Coconut Oil. These foods may seem less tasty than the typical foods that you usually eat, but the rewards are far more beneficial for your body in the long run.

Another tip is to lessen the red meat intake. You can replace it using white meat and fish. These foods have low fat and cholesterol levels.

Always remember that a healthy lifestyle showcases low cholesterol levels. If you choose to stay healthy, then you should always eat the healthy foods. Considering the cholesterol levels is a very critical factor for a healthy life. Including Organic Coconut in your nutrition plan will help.

Organice Coconut oil also makes a great skin moisturizer and can be used as a light balm on your hair to correct split ends and those "fly away" hairs we all love!

Foods That Save Lives?

On nutrition: Foods with function
By Barbara Quinn

What is a"functional" food? In Japan, its a food with a "specified health use." In Canada, it's a food with physiological benefits "beyond basic nutritional function." In the United States, its a great marketing tool with no legal definition.

All foods are functional at some level, according to a recent paper on the subject by the American Dietetic Association. "Functional foods" have been found to provide additional health benefits beyond their basic nutritional content. Many have been enriched, fortified or enhanced, such as calcium-enriched orange juice or omega-three fortified eggs.

Others are just regular foods that have been found to possess health-promoting substances. Here are a few of my favorites from registered dietitian David Grottos intriguing book, "101 Foods that could save your Life":

- Artichoke: Actually the immature flower of a thistle plant, artichokes are thought to be one of the world's oldest medicinal plants. Besides being a rich source of vitamin C, folate, and dietary fiber, artichokes contain substances that may ease an upset tummy and reduce the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

- Broccoli: A member of the cruciferous family that includes cabbage, cauliflower, kale, collard greens and brussels sprouts, broccoli contains a good many compounds with cancer-fighting properties. Broccoli is also rich in sulforaphane glucosinolate (dont try to say this at home, boys and girls) a potent antioxidant that has been shown to stop the growth of breast and prostate cancer cells.

- Chocolate: Dark chocolate contains natural substances called flavonoids that improve the health of blood vessels and can help lower blood pressure. Just dont feed it to your pets. Chocolate is toxic to dogs, cats, parrots and horses, reports Grotto.

- Coffee: Not so rich in nutrients, coffee redeems itself with "off the chart" antioxidant properties, says Grotto. Natural chemicals in coffee such as chlorogenic acids may help improve blood sugar control. And people who regularly drink coffee have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a review of several studies.

- Pecans. My favorite nut, pecans are rich in oleic acid, the same healthful fat found in olive oil. Researchers at New Mexico State University (my alma mater) found that pecans added to a heart healthy diet reduced bad LDL cholesterol more than a diet without them.

- Peppers. Chile "hot" comes from a group of phytochemicals called capsaicinoids, which act on pain receptors in the mouth and throat, says Grotto. Capsaicin applied topically as a cream has been found to be an effective treatment for painful arthritic hands.

- Romaine lettuce. Romaine contains more than five times more vitamin C than iceberg lettuce. It is also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin - substances that help fight macular degeneration in the eye. Romaine also contains salicylic acid, the same anti-inflammatory compound found in aspirin.

- Spinach. One of the richest sources of lutein - the pigment that helps protect the eyes from macular degeneration - spinach intake is also associated with a lower risk for developing cataracts. Glycolipids in spinach are powerful chemicals with properties that can fight the growth of cancer cells as well.

Wii Fit vs Wii Fitness Coach Core Rhythms

Wii Fit vs. Wii Fitness Coach. I really like both of these games, watch the video as I compare the 2. THey both have great features and different features. Wii Fit costs a little more but the whole family can use it. Also, I saw an infomercial for Core Rhythms and that looks like fun too. I might get it in May.
