Weight update and more fun sh*t

DUDE!!!!!!

I lost 5 more pounds!!!! I've been doing hip hop abs, insanity, turbofire, and brazil butt lift, in case your curious. I'm a beachbody addict.  I hadn't weighed myself in a couple weeks so I was very excited when I saw that number on the scale. Less than 15 pounds until I hit my December Disneyland goal!

Here is a updated pic a couple of you have requested, and yes I know I look like hell this morning! I honestly don't see much of a difference, except I've totally lost my butt. Hubby isn't too happy about this HAH. I think it's been a month or so since I took a update picture. My underwear I usually wear in my pics don't fit anymore so they had to go. I also need to get new pants, which is super exciting :)

Also I decided it was time for some new body modification so I got two surface anchors. One by my eye and one on my neck. I love them to pieces! Life has been tough lately, and I felt it was time I did something for myself....

Losing my craving for sugar?

 Friends and Starbucks! Yay!

A few of my friends and I went to starbucks for a girls night out last night (Aren't they gorgeous?!) and I realized something: if this was a couple months ago I would have ordered the most creamy-sugary blended drink they had on the menu, but I honestly have NO desire! I can't get over it! It's so bizarre to me. My husband laughed when we discussed this last night. I actually enjoy the full flavor of coffee and I don't covet the sugar as I once did. I'm no longer craving ice cream or candy, and if I do eat it I feel sick almost instantly. I usually have soy/almond milk and sometimes a drop of stevia in my morning cup of coffee. 

So, I've been trying to figure out how this change within me occurred. I know eating clean is part of it, I do allow myself to enjoy the cheat foods I like every once in a while but for the most part, all my food is unprocessed and healthy. I finally figured out where my change of heart came from...

I REALLY want to be healthy....and I will do anything to reach this goal. It's not even about the weight loss, this is about overcoming my addiction to food. There are so few things that I have control of in my life and what I put in my body is crucial to my well-being.

My new toy!

Seems like every single cardio workout I do the instructor says we need a heart rate monitor. I used to just roll my eyes. I had no what they really were until recently! I decided since I'm on week two of TurboFire that I would get myself one to make sure I was staying in my zone and pushing my hardest during workouts. I finally figured everything out on the HRM yesterday and used it during my Fire55 EZ class.

Here is my calorie reading:

875! HAH! I kicked ass today! Chalene (the instructor and creator of turbo jam/turbofire) is super-awesome, she makes me feel like I can do anything! I lost 3 pounds in the first week I started TurboFire. I'm almost done with week 2. My body is responding well to the cardio workouts. I think this program is just what I needed to push my through my plateau! I weigh in every Monday now, this helps me stay on track during the weekend.

Also my family and I are spending Christmas in DISNEYLAND! We are all so excited, I will be with my brothers, niece, nephew, sil, mom, son, daughter, and my lovely hubby! My new short-term goal is to be down to 165 by Dec 20th. I think I can crush this :)
