What games are you looking forward too this weekend?

According to my summary for the week, my daily average for calories was 1258. This is good because I don’t tend to eat so well on the weekends. It’s so hard to stay away from Skinny Girl margarita’s and red wine! I am loving the daily diary! It helps to control what you eat when you can see how many calories you are consuming. It also told me half of my nutrients coming in were carbs- not a shocker there! Ha, I need to eat more protein! I will have to check out Gunnar’s meal plan for the week.

You are supposed to weigh yourself each week but I don’t have a scale! Can I go to Bed, Bath and Beyond and weigh myself there? Ha, I kid. I will have to check and see if my gym has one.

Week 3 is off to a good start. Hopefully it will end well even though I will be attending the Orioles game Saturday and my niece’s birthday party on Sunday. How am I going avoid cold beers at Pickles, ball park food and cake?!? Check in next week to see how things go!

The best thing about this challenge to me is the daily diary. I can record what I eat and it  will show how many calories I have left. My goal is to have 1200 calories or less which wasn’t much of a challenge until the weekend hit! I was bad on Sunday and Memorial Day! It was too hard to pass up the cold beers and grilled burgers!

The first day of the program started with a rest day. I was so ready to start the challenge I decided to go for a run instead of resting. What kind of program starts with a rest day? I completed four of the customized workouts last week and incorporated two of my own. The two I incorporated included two hours of strenuous hiking one day and an hour of intervals on the treadmill the other day. I liked Gunnar’s workouts, which included cardio and strength; everything from jump roping, planks, squats, to lunges and pushups. I used eight pound weights but hope to use ten this week!

Overall I wasn’t bored doing the workouts which is important for me to stay interested. I hope to start following his meal plan but have trouble getting to the grocery store with my hour commute to work and home each day. My main goal is tone up and maintain my current weight. I already started Week 2 and will let you know how it goes next week!

I am not following the meal plans they give you exactly, but I have tried their BBQ steaks, and avocado on whole wheat toast for a snack. I also gave up soda, and just drink green tea and one cup of coffee. I have to have some sory of caffeine to keep with with two active boys!!

My husband is a big diet pepsi drinker, so we have it in the house. I got into a bad habit in the afternoon when I am getting tired I sometimes grab a can of Diet Pepsi. I am trying and have succeeded (so far) to cut it out during this 8 week program. I also drink tons of water as Gunnar says!!

So it sounds like I am doing great on this challange….working out 6 days a week, eating healthy. THEN MEMORIAL DAY HIT! Day drinking, BBQ’s, and instead of exerciseing when my baby is napping I am laying out in the sun! I am now back home from a little get-away and trying to get back into the rountine…until we leave again for New York in 2 days!
Ah the summer is so hard to eat healthy!

Stay tuned on how the next week goes!

I am starting this new online fitness program called the Gunar Challenge run by cebebrity trainor to stars like Jennifer Lopez, and Kim Kardishian. It is an online 8 week program, where we will get workouts, training tips, and healthy meal recipes!!

Brady's New Do!

QB Tom Brady had the Bieber hairstyle, then the pony tail (hated that look), then the lacrosse shag style. Now Brady came out to the MET ball this week with a new slick back look. Kind of looks like David Beckham.

What do you think? I kind of like it  for the Summer! But won’t be able to keep that up once football season is back. Wearing a helmet won’t help that look!

Kate Upton On Cover of Sports Illustrated.

Tonight, Sports Illustrated was announcing their 2012 Sports Illustrated cover girl on David Letterman. However, some copies of the SI issue were already sent to a Michigan gas station, and TMZ.com got the pictures.

Looks like Kate Upton is on the cover this year! Upton has appeared in previous issues of the magazine, but this is her first cover. She also has been linked to Jets QB Mark Sanchez.

Will Kim and Reggie Spend Valentine's Day Together?

Kim Kardashian and ex bf Reggie Bush, have been spending lots of time together according to TMZ.com. Kim and Reggie were seen having lunch together on Saturday at the Beverly Hills Hotel. They signed autographs and took pictures with fans. Are they getting back together? Only time will tell. I think Kim’s hard always belonged to Reggie, but Reggie is just too young to commit so they broke up.

I believe in fairytales like Kim, and wouldn’t mind seeing these two getting back togeh

Tebow with Rob Lowe @ the grammy party.

Last night was the Grammys, and I thought I could get away from the Super Bowl winners! I was surprised(and glad I was behind and could fast forward with DVR) when I saw Victor Cruz and Mario Manningham present an award. I guess Cruz showed his musical side when he salsa danced on stage.

Another football player at the Grammys was Tim Tebow. Tebow attended L.L. CoolJ pre grammy party with Rob Lowe, and Magic Johnson. I wonder if he met Katy Perry, since Perry’s parents wanted her to meet the QB.

Harper with her HOT Daddy!

Sunday Funday for soccer star David Beckham is lunch with his 7 month old daughter Harper. If you enjoyed Beckham’s H&M Super Bowl ad last weekend, I thought you would enjoy seeing this picture, of David with his beautiful daughter. She looks sooooo cute in a knit hat, leggings, and a sweater dress. David in a suit looking so handsome!!
