Phit-N-Phat...Making Fitness and Weightloss a Lifestyle

My Planning and Why

I'm starting this with my plan for the week. Last week I said I needed to get back to my old behaviors so that's what I'm going to kick off with today. Some positive planning, structure, and accountability. You really can't beat any of that when you are living the lifestyle.

EXERCISE

Monday - finished a hard 4 mile tempo run on the treadmill
Tuesday - back/shoulders/abs and 30 min. of cardio (new routine learned at Phat Camp that is wicked)
Wednesday - Long Run of 7-8 miles
Thursday - chest/legs/arms hour circuit
Friday - 3 miles and ab circuit 20 min.
Saturday - EZ 5K in the morning with Logan and Warrior Dash in the afternoon
Sunday -

I'm using some routines from Phat Camp for the cardio and the strength is my own stuff this week. Today I ordered Chalene Extreme and I think I'm going to follow that program a bit to free up planning for myself.

FOOD

Went to the store yesterday after driving back from Dayton PC early in the morning. Here's what I planned for myself starting tomorrow because today I winged it and will be prepping tonight. I had to work, therapy, and lots of other things so tonight it is.

Breakfast - 3/4 cup of oats with cinnamon, truvia, and almond extract and 8 egg whites with ketchup OR 2 pcs of EZ toast with ICBINB and 8 egg whites.

Snack - Shakeology and 1/3 cup of pumpking seeds

Lunch - roughy cooked in coconut oil, mixed fajita style peppers and onions, and 4-6 oz of sweet potato (strength days I'll do 6)

Snack - apple with two carb master yogurts

Dinner - Skinny Chicken and Dumplings, Spag Sauce with Laura's Lean beef over a bag of steamer vegetables, OR chicken fajita mix (no rice for me) on top of big salad

Snack - 12 oz of red wine OR shakeology and an apple OR 100 cal bag of popcorn (wine or snack but not both this week)

On a high day that equals about 2100 calories and a lower day (choosing lower options) it's about 1800. I also have some baby carrots, celery, and bananas to add in case I'm hungry. It's filled with stuff I like and I should be able to maintain fine with this.

I also have plans to have go out to eat three times this week! I know two are Ruby Tuesday so that's easy. The other I will know ahead of time and make plans. My goal for this week is to stay off BLT's, stay on plan, and be aware of my hunger. Assess if I'm hungry or just stressed.

PERSONAL

This weekend I was at Phat Camp Dayton and it was great. I love the workouts because they scale them to fit everyone's level. Women who look just like I did six years ago show up to these camps and I hope when they see me they have hope it's possible. I respect them so much for showing up and giving it their all. When I weighed 250lbs I wouldn't have had the guts to do it, let alone, push myself to try working out in a new way.

The majority of the women at camp were just starting out or trying to figure out where to go with exercise and getting in shape. As we were in the seminar portion of the camp, so many of the women started asking questions that had plagued me back in the days of losing weight.

One woman was worried about loose skin on her tummy. I just couldn't help it but I had to comment that for some of us the skin is NOT going to bounce back. I was honest with them that once that elasticity goes it's gone. Some women do have great genes and no matter what kind of weight gain they have with pregnancy they'll get it back with hard work. But, A LOT of us with past battles with obesity WON'T.

Jen asked me to show my Tummy Tuck scar and she said, "Well, that's not so bad." I promptly said you haven't seen the REAL scars from the lower body lift. LOL. I pulled half my pants down and showed the women what I had to do to fix my past. I even took the time to explain what it has meant to me, personally.

I spent years trying everything to fix my skin issues. I still try! At four years of maintenance and work I knew it was time for surgery. Today, with the loose skin that is STILL left after six years I have learned I need to live with it. Y'all know everyday I work on self-acceptance, but what I was hoping they would see is a woman who can kick butt in workouts who used to sit on her butt letting life kick her.

That's the awesome thing about Jen Hendershott's Phat Camps and my own PNP Meet-ups at events; we all can work together towards a better lifestyle. Some of us are in the beginning. They need the help to get started on the right path and who better to give back than women who have been there.

And there are others there, too. We had a couple of figure girls, a few women who love endurance events, a mom of 8 kids who has no time and little money for clean food, girls with no kids just starting out in adult life and women who are hitting the boomer years. It's amazing when you attend events with me because I can promise you there will be women with all kinds of stories yet a lot of commonality in trying to find the balance while losing weight.

OK...so that was all about camp. I decided on Saturday that it was important for me to leave Sunday morning EARLY and miss the last day. Logan had his first cross-country match and I wanted to be there. Something told me I had to be there but not for the reasons I thought.

We went and the baby wasn't feeling too hot to begin with. He's got a little cold but seemed OK to go. He wanted to! We arrived and it was a MADHOUSE. 100's of kids and parents everywhere. It was like organized confusion.

Because he's a 3rd grader we waited for our turn in the hot sun for about 45 min. to an hour, I think. He stretched and seemed fine until we lined up. We had to wait 15 min. on the line and that's where his nerves kicked in. He said his legs shook. We hugged tight trying to get the adrenaline out.

When they sounded the horn he ran the field, hit the track then just started walking. I could see he was shutting down. It was too much. I ran to the side (coach's can be on the field) and tried to get him to run. When he started melting down I backed off hoping if he had no outlet (me) he would keep going. No. Some sweet kids and another mom ran to him and cheered him on. Nice as it was I could see his face was striken with too much stimulation.

At that point I walked with him and we ended up leaving. He started throwing a mild fit; my worst nightmare because I don't want this friends at school to see him THAT way.

Other things happened but I tried to keep my composure and help him learn from it. We processed the day 2-3 times. I wanted him to completely understand that I understood WHY he was frustrated and didn't like it, that I was proud of him for trying, that it was OK to not want to race, but throwing a fit and not using your words to express your emotions isn't acceptable. THAT was hard for me. I had to find a way for him to understand he was in time out for tantrums and not for his inability to process a big event. I was so worried he would think I was mad and punishing him for not running.

In the end he got it. I know he did. I've thought a lot about it, too. It may sound insane but God uses these times to help us. I remember blogging a long time ago that I had to go through years of being fat, bullied, and miserable to even have the ability to help my clients. Same thing with Logan. We have to believe that these tough moments are meant to be so that one day in the future when it REALLY matters he will succeed, try, not quit, or know how to leave something the right way.

It's so ironic that my phrase "Last place is the girl on the couch," the mantra of PNP, plays so well with my child. Being in last place means you were a part of something. It means you were brave enough to try. I have to give it to Logan. That boy might not like a lot of what we make him do but he shows up and attempts things.

I told him we weren't quitting Cross Country. He enjoys practice. I enjoy coaching the girls. We'll keep going and each meet we can decide if we want to race or if we want to cheer on our friends. Either way WE'RE a part of something. That was the goal and we CAN DO THAT.

I do admit that it's hard with the food and exercise to not just go crazy lately. I'm not always perfect but I'm doing the best I can. It's what I preach to my girls. If I'm not eating perfect you bet I'm tracking calories to keep it honest.

That's why I'm planning and posting, being honest and blogging. It's not always roses but I've learned to have a lifestyle means you gotta fight through the tough times and enjoy the good ones. I know what foods to not have around, I know some days I need to schedule a workout with someone so that it will get done, and I know there are times I have to ask my husband to question my food choices when I'm not willing to do it.

It's how I handle maintenance. When I'm strong I intuitively eat. When I'm worked up like a maniac it's time to go on a plan and turn off thy brain. These days a little silence in my head, an app to track my calories, and a piece of paper with a plan is a good thing.



The Fight of Your Life

The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed.

Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston Marathon champ

This doesn't just apply to running. It also applies to finding the lifestyle. Often our body, friends, family, social commitments, hobbies, and everything else you can name SCREAMS at us that we need to...

• have that piece of birthday cake at Susie's office party.
• drink a glass or three of wine because you had a hard day.
• just order a pizza versus putting together a 20-min. meal because you are tired.
• eat the same things over and over again because we're convinced we CAN'T eat a variety.
• let loose on the weekends because you worked hard on your food and exercise all week long.

That's just a bunch of bull crap that keeps all of us from our goals. Let me tell you something...losing weight isn't going to always be easy. MOST of the time it shouldn't be miserable but there are times you will be...

• a touch hungry. Not STARVING but you might have times you are slightly hungry because it just ain't time to eat.
• have to just say no and skip some fun. If you never say no to a party, a drink, or piece of cake you are kidding yourself that this is "normal" for skinny people.
• push yourself to cook, heat up, or eat something that isn't as easy as ordering pizza.
• plan a weekend where you are the DD, doing a race, or staying home so you stay out of food trouble.

Your mind needs to be strong and focused on what you want. It's not enough to have a goal. You gotta PLAN for the goal, SEE the goal, FEEL the goal, and it be so real to you that sacrifice isn't miserable. Sacrifice is just part of putting on big girl panties and doing what you gotta do to get the goal.

I've done it several times in my life and right now it has nothing to do with food or the figure competitions. For me, that part is easy because I spent the last six years being healthy the ways I knew I could live with the rest of my life.

The part of life I have to mentally be tough is with Logan and his autism. It's SO NOT easy juggling his therapy, the constant effort to take him to a new level, and being ON in therapist AND mommy mode 24/7.

With Logan, Chris and I are his main therapists and it's exhausting to work around the clock. It's hard for us to set aside the natural protect and "do for them" nature and consistently push Logan...way out of comfort zones. Going out of the comfort zones means whining, tantrums, fits, and him simply not liking us very much. We can understand it and we have a strong mind. Most of the time I am the real devil since I'm the driver to therapy and loads of "fun" things that poor child has to do each week.

Just like with you and your daily food choices, it would be easy to just let Logan "be". It would be easy to talk with him in the way he likes versus challenging his conversation so he can learn to talk to others. We could let him do only his favorite things but he wouldn't get a chance to find new favorite things. We could let him eat the same foods all the time but that would foster the chance of OCD tendencies.

I don't share this for a pity party. Right the opposite. Celebrate us! We're not afraid to push, do things we don't like to do, work hard, make the tough choices, and spend money on therapies and camps for just one more opportunity. We don't love autism but Chris and I are a power couple who has lots of love, energy, and desire to make Logan's life just like any other kid.

You have the same fight. Logan isn't the only one in the fight for his life. YOU are too if you are reading this blog with a weight problem. You have to do just like us and Logan. You gotta have the goal in front of you, make the tough choices, do things out of your comfort zone, and try things you wouldn't think you would.

My little boy. He's such a blessing to us and for all of you because he teaches me something I can pass onto you often. The big lesson today: the more you work outside your comfort zone the more "normal" you become. :)

Thank You for Your Help

I ran the Country Music Half Marathon this year to help raise money for the Middle TN Autism Society. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for the awesome generosity. I was HUMBLED at the amount of love, emails, and support I got through the process.

Before I share a video message from Chris and I, I want to thank a few people quickly.

Laurie - we've been friends for so long now and it means a lot to me that you have been running with me through everything: weightloss to fundraising. I love you.

Chris and Logan - it was so hot and thanks for walking all the way from 2nd Ave. to see mommy. I know you didn't get to see mommy finish but it meant everything to me that you were there.

Mammy and Lexi - Thanks for coming out and braving the crowds and HUNGER.

All the people along the race route who cheered for me because they read my t-shirt. I would have pictures downloaded but I can't figure out how to get the card out of the fool camera! Basically, 1 in 150 kids has autism. It's time we do something about this so that our kids can get better!

Now, here is a message from Chris and I. Thank you again and over $1000.00 is out today!!!!

YouTube - Thank You for Helping Us Raise Money!

If I missed you, make a comment and let us know you are participating!

  This weekend I'm doing my own first. I am running the Country Music Half Marathon for charity. As many of you know, my amazing son has autism. He was diagnosed one year ago this month. Actually, we were diagnosed on World Autism Day if you can believe it. What a year it has been for my family. This video is Chris telling what the last year has been like for us.

My healthy lifestyle has played a critical role in his year. My healthy diet helped him get much needed nutrients. Exercise gives me the strength, energy, and distraction to deal with autism. Being PHIT has been an important part of the journey for all of us.

I'm asking for the last time that anyone who has used my tips, workouts, stories, pictures, videos, or anything else to donate to my race. Anything is appreciated.

I want to thank so many of you who have already donated. I cried the other day when Chris showed me the amount we've raised. With just a couple of posts we're over $600! I REALLY would love to reach $1000 to give to the Middle TN Autism Society. This post gives you our story along with the link to donate.

Again, thank you so much for all the support everyone gives me. From inspirational emails to support on the site, so many women touch my life everyday. I'm truly blessed.

Tomorrow is World Autism Day

...and the one year anniversary of my son's diagnosis. To read our story and support me in a charity race you can go here.

I feel sad today. I truly do. Most days I'm satisfied with life and really appreciative that our Logan does so well. But, this time last year the world changed for me. It became a life of total uncertainty. We never dreamed we would be where we are today, which I'm thankful for, but it is still scary to think what if he stops progressing? What if this is it for us?

It's a lot like losing weight. You do and eat things you don't like in hopes it will pay off for the better. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't but you have to keep trying. You can't just stand still and hope things will suddenly start working.

Autism is like that. We try therapies, meds, diets, and techniques hoping they will work. Some do and some don't. Some are crazy to other people and other things are just the hardest things you will do in your life. I've had days this past year when I think about what we went through it makes me cry.

For me the personal lesson I have learned the most is this: don't be afraid to do anything in life. Get over yourself, push past the limits, do things you didn't think you would, and when you do anything, do it like you mean it.

This is how we approach Logan and how I've decided my own life has to be like. We approach autism like this. Yes it stinks. Get over it. Go past the limits. We treat Logan like a six year old pure and simple. No special treatment for this boy. We try things that might seem strange to see if it works. If it does great! If it doesn't there's no time to wallow in it. Move on. And, we go full force with him. He/we might get tired but we can't allow ourselves to be "tired" as a reason to not be better than we were yesterday.

My wish for this year is another one like last year without all the tears. We're doing great and we only can expect to do better.

What Motivates YOU to be HEALTHY and FIT?

Today I have spent 90% of my time talking about motivation. So many people want motivation to do better, to make a change, to have the lightbulb come on, etc. They look all around them for motivation and spend countless hours and time trying to muster up the desire to do better.

When I started my journey to finally lose 110lbs., it was my son that motivated me. I wanted a different life for him. Thankfully I did because my healthy life helped him with his autism.

(Please see our blog for info on a special April fundraiser we are doing for Autism Awareness Month.)  

Let me share a quote with you by Jim Ryun...

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Motivation isn't what gets you to your goals. Motivations like my blog, a picture of someone with a great body, a story of achievement, those are things that plant the seed you need to change.

What gets you there is your HABITS. If you are serious about losing weight and fitness, you would have done these things this weekend:

1. You planned your workouts this week based on your schedule. You don't expect life to be less busy so you made sure to find time to do your exercise so YOU CAN LOSE WEIGHT.

2. You have a menu in place for the week. People who just grab and go all week aren't serious about what they are doing in terms of their body.

3. You cooked up rice, lean proteins, and veggies, and your fridge is stocked with prepped fruits and such. Yep, if you don't have REAL food ready to go you aren't going to be healthy and fit.

4. You don't intend on eating out this week unless it is an unavoidable commitment.

5. You are setting goals that keep you on track: races, smaller pants, scale weight, or measurements.

Yes girls, habits are what built my body and changed my life. Not a picture of someone. Not sitting around hoping to be inspired. And definitely not going through the week hoping things all work out for the best.

Now, find something that motivates you and THEN BUILD SOME HABITS TO GET THERE.

I Hate Being "Chronically" Fat

I was sending a PNP girl a private email. She's had a tough winter and we got to talking about my past year dealing with Logan's autism diagnosis. While I was talking I started to comment how I just hate autism, I hate we have it, I hate Logan has to deal with it, I hate he has to work so hard for the rest of his life, and mostly, I hate how unfair it is we have to work so hard to be parents.

I know being a parent is difficult no matter what but when you add autism on top of it there are the little things you miss out on most people get. The funny thing about all of this is that it can so relate to being fat.

When you have autism your mind doesn't process information like the person next to you.

When you are chronically fat your body doesn't process a dessert or cheeseburger like your best friend.

When you have autism you have to work twice or three times harder on homework because you face occupational issues and processing problems.

When you are CF you have to work out longer and harder to get the same results as your husband.

When you have autism you can't just go anywhere when you want to, you have to plan every outing, and you often can't just do what all the other kids are doing.

When you are CF you usually have to skip some lunches, you have to pack a cooler, and you can't do what all the other girls are doing.

Being CF stinks. It means life isn't easy for us. We're different. Call it genetics, poor habits, your parents didn't teach you food and exercise fundamentals...whatever. What it also means is that you just have to deal with it and do something about it.

Just like with Logan's autism we had no choice. While it's not fair and seems to feel like punishment at times, we deal with it. The days he's cranky and tired we still go to therapy. The times I know it would be easy to ignore a few bad behaviors I push on and work with him (this is like your timeout magnified by 1000 at times).

You don't have the choice either. Your health and future are too important. There are days when you are tired and cranky from work and kids but you have to get that workout in and quit thinking it's optional. The days you know you are doing BLT's and not measuring your food you have to get back on track because you can't afford to foster the negative behaviors.

So, get mad but you accept it. Hate that life is unfair but deal with it. Every person in this world has something in life they have to deal with that seems overwhelming and unfair. Your issue happens to be weight so rather than focusing your energy on doing nothing, do EVERYTHING you can to change it.

That's what 2009 should be for you just like it is for my Logan. It is going to be the best year ever because we're going keep doing everything we can to fight.

Inspiration In a Small Package

Today I have been looking for something to write about that can help us all on this weightloss journey. Sometimes my inspiration comes from the PNP girls and other times it comes from the most unlikely places.

On our Autism Recovery site Chris posted an excerpt from an email we shared. It's about Logan and losing his first smiley face at school. He's been very anxious about this and is dealing with the "trauma" in ways Chris and I are at a loss to handle...just yet.

What struck me in reading what Logan is doing is that it is really no different than what my PNP girls do to themselves through their battle with fat and an unhealthy lifestyle. Are they autistic? No, but ya'll need to learn a lesson from the sweetest little boy in the whole wide world.

Logan is trying to lower expectations for himself and us. Does this sound familiar?

I PLAN to eat well this weekend but if I slip up it's OK.

I KNOW the scale won't be friendly so I'll just ignore it.

I will do the best I can but if a few nibbles happen at the luncheon that will be fine.

Are slips ups OK? Sure they are.

Does the scale lie sometimes? Absolutely.

If you have some nibbles does it mean you have blown it? No way.

BUT, I can promise you this. When you live your life with the bar set really low then you will get really low results. You have already said to yourself...

This weekend I am going to just eat what I want and deal with it later.

That scale never tells the truth so cutting off a few minutes of exercise here and there and a few days of not measuring my clean food doesn't matter.

Nibbles happen...that's just my silly little habit. No biggie.

The other fascinating fact of low expectations? When you fall down you don't have to far to go until you are off the wagon. With high expectations you might fall but just out your seat and into the floor of that wagon.

What I am saying is that there is nothing wrong with OVER expecting great things. So what if you don't make it? A good example is a girl I knew who once ran a 5K. Her goal was 40 min. She ran it in a tad over 52 min.and came in long after crowds were cheering.

Rather than being all upset she didn't make her goal she bragged to everyone she knew she ran a 5K! Even though she didn't make the time limit she wanted she did something she never thought possible...run a 5K! Let me tell you, that was me and when I was 230lbs at the age of 30 I never dreamed I would run until I started training for that 5K. The only time I ran was when a dog was after me. One day I just decided I wanted to do a 5K and I wasn't going to settle for anything less.

Our goals shouldn't be to shield ourselves from disappointment. It should be to challenge ourselves. It's only through chasing big dreams do you get those above average results.

So, for Logan? We decided on token rewards. Rather than blowing off bad behavior or spotlighting what's wrong we made him a chart of things he can "buy". We've taken pictures of stuff he likes: going to the lake with Daddy through the woods, blocks and Legos from Target, breakfast for dinner, going bowling, etc. Each thing has a "price tag" and when we catch him doing things we're working on or being a good boy he gets a token. Once a week we'll count out the tokens and he can earn some things he likes.

Doing this we teach him to focus on shooting for the big stuff, earning small rewards along the way, and realizing it's OK to think big.

Phat Camp Dayton Re-Cap

I just returned from Jen Hendershott's Phat Camp which was inspirational and my third one this year. I have taken the opportunity to bring my clients and friends from all over the country to these camps so we can experience workouts, breakthroughs, and personal achievements together. If YOU EVER have the opportunity to attend a camp you should! As we all discussed this weekend, it is an investment in YOU and too often women don't take the time to make the investment of health.

Each time I go, it profoundly changes some aspect of my life and this camp was no different. Every camp I have grown in a new way.

My first camp in 2007 I found the love of strength training and pushing myself further than I ever imagined.

My second camp Jan 2008 I realized I wanted to compete and I did.

My third camp June 2008 I woke up and realized I needed to work on my remaining fat girl thinking. I didn't know how much it plagued me until that weekend.

My fourth camp this weekend I got a true sense of what I want to do with fitness business and, beleive it or not, I had a spiritual awakening. I heard Jesus telling me it was time to get back to church, trust in him to lead me to amazing heights, and be willing to dream large dreams.

You see, I have been depressed lately with Logan's progress in autism. Even though I understand he is making great progress I have caught myself getting wrapped up in what we don't have versus what we do have. By living in that funk I have also denied myself the dreams for my child most parents take for granted.

Today it all ends. I was meant to be at this camp not to get my butt kicked, not to think of my self-image, and not to see how far I have come physically. This camp was all about me realizing that there is no limit in this life except the ones that are self-imposed. Today I start dreaming big, praying for strength and guidance to live a full and rich life with blessings beyond even my dreams for my family, and working out with intensity because, after all, it is Phat Camp and you have to learn you can always turn up the heat a notch or two. :)

To the ladies who went with me - all nine of you - thank you for making this a great weekend! Each of you with your own breakthroughs helped me have my own. I needed you there sharing your fears, questions, and stories to see what "I" needed in my life and I appreciate it more than words can say.

To Jane...you winning the pop squat competition was also a moment I'll never forget. I was so proud of you, cried when you finished, and I wouldn't trade anything in the world for seeing one of my girls take down the crown. Now I have TWO (Michele) winners this year at PC. I wonder how many we will have next year?

Our Phat Camp season has ended this year and I can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for us.

Fight for What You Believe In

Today I want to take a moment and ask for a favor from all of my PNP readers and supporters. I normally do not talk about things outside of our weightloss journey, but today I am in need of some HELP!

Recently a shock-jock named Michael Savage aired some comments on his radio show regarding autism that absolutely disgust me. It's bad enough that autism is misunderstood, often not caught in our children, and there is limited help for our kids, but you get some IDIOT out there with a national audience spewing dribble and it certainly doesn't help the epidemic.

My husband, Chris, is a very involved father. He works, studies, and does everything he can to make sure that we are on top of Logan's autism. It's sickens me to think that this stupid radio personality would lump MY HUSBAND into a category of men who have abandoned their kids. Just because you are autistic doesn't mean you have a crappy dad! Hell, I had a crappy dad and I'm as stinking normal as it can possibly get.

The other thing I found infuriating is his assumption that autism is underdiagnosed. What? Underfunded, yes. MisUNDERstood, absolutely. Why not focus our attention on helping kids rather than this bull crap Michael Savage is saying?

OK...I'm copying the links to the clip of what he said and a link to my local radio station. PLEASE, spread this email around. Forward it to your friends, your blogs, and anywhere else you can think that might make an impact. Ladies, if you have ever read my blog, learned something, and thought how can I repay her...NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!

Thank you so much girls and I love ya'll. Michael Savage won't know what hit him when he finds out he messed with the PNP Nation...we're hungry, our muscles are sore, and we don't screw with our own!
