Hidalgo's Healthy Habits

Day 4 of my road to recovery

2012-10-25T11:29:00.003-07:00

Hey everyone its me again, As you already know I am on my second 90 day challenge, which is my last one for the year. I have had a rough start, due to me not being able to workout as much as I would like due to me having surgery a month and a half ago, but I have been doing as much as I can handle.

I rode the bike at the gym for 30 minutes and that about put me out for a couple of day, so lately I have been concentrating on drinking my Visalus shakes and eating as clean as I can. There is an article I read that our diet should be 80 percent healthy eating and 20 percent exercise, so this is my goal this week.

To eat as clean as I can and detox me off of all the sugars and icecream I ate, when I wallowed in what I went through with my surgery. It didnt do me any good cuz I gain 15 lbs and now I am trying to lose the weight I just lost a few months ago.

This is how I dealt with my pain, and I no I need to work on myself.
Don't get discouraged if you fall and make a mistake on your diet and exercise take it one day at at time, and keep running the race to a better you. Because when you run the race to be healthier, your mind will be so much clearer to do what God wants us to do for his kingdom.

Let's Bring it! A road to recovery and health

2012-10-22T10:40:00.004-07:00

For those of you who dont know my first 90 day challenge I lost 40 lbs and went down to 166. A month into my 2 90 day challenge I had to have laproscopic surgery due to having a grapefruit size cyst on my ovary. They removed my entire ovary as well. Well durning these last 2 months I have not been able to workout and have been in bed the majority of the time recovering. Because of this I have gained 16 lbs. Thank you Jesus I am able to do light workout.

So today I start My day 1 of my 2nd 90 day challenge of the year to finish the year strong. My goal is to workout at leas 4 to 6 times a week, while doing the transformation kit. I plan to in Jesus name lose at least 30 lbs this next 90 days and start the year off right. thank you for support and encouragement. God Bless

Day 1-6 of Second 90 day challenge

2012-07-31T23:09:00.001-07:00

Hey there everyone, I know it has been like forever since i have blogged, but I going to track my next 90 day challenge that I started 6 days ago. I recently started working out to Turbo fire this week and I absolutely love it. It is intense cardio at its best. I am still on the transformation kit with visalus. The business me and my husband are doing is really growing fast. I am so thankful for what visalus has done for our health\ and for our finances!
So I am declaring here that I want to lose 30 lbs in the next 90 days. That would put me at a weight I havent seen since high school, and that is 145. So follow me on this journey to get fit and lose weight and if you want to join the challenge then visit my webpage www.healthyhabitsaz.myvi.net/loseweight

Week 2 of P90x

2012-02-14T17:28:00.000-08:00

Hello peeps, Hope everyone is having an amazing day! Today has been such a good day. I just got back from the first week completion of the Maricopa's biggest loser, and I am down 2 lbs! So exciting.Now so far since I started this journey, In about one month I have lost 10 lbs and 4 inches off everything!. Everyone is already starting to notice I have been losing weight, and asking me how I am doing it. Well I will tell you DISCIPLINE!

You have to make up in your mind that you want to change your bad eating habits, and you want to lose the weight you have put on. A month ago I was just eating a bunch of junk food, and I made up my mind that I needed to change not only for myself, but for my kids.

Many of you know that my son had a brain tumor about 7 months ago, and though they don't know for sure but it could have been caused by food, so I want to make sure I feed my kids healthy so they will learn healthy habits, that they will take into there adulthood.

Everyone please check out HIDALGO'S HEALTHY HABITS 90 DAY CHALLENGE for more info on how my weight is coming off! IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU!

Maricopa's Biggest Loser Day 1/p90x day2

2012-02-07T20:19:00.000-08:00

What's up my follows? Feeling amazing today. I completed CardioX workout today on P90x. If you want to burn those calories this is a really good way to shed them. 45 minutes of intense cardio. I burned about 600 calories on this one. I was smart enough to have my visalus shake before I worked out, with added peanut butter and oatmeal in it, so I would have enough energy to complete it. Yesterday's workout I about crashed toward the end because I hadn't put anything in my belly.

TIP FOR THE DAY: People make sure you are eating enough before you workout that way you have enough energy to be able to finish it!

Well another exciting thing that happened today is I joined my first Biggest Losers Competion! Ya I'm so excited because I've never done anything like this before. It's a 90 day challenge and I plan to win IN JESUS NAME LOL! Well peeps if you have any questions feel free to leave comments, and check out HIDALGO'S HEALTHY HABITS 90 DAY CHALLENGE!

Day 11 completed of Body Gospel

2012-02-02T19:36:00.000-08:00

I am so excited to have completed Day 11 of my journey to eating healthy and living right! I feel so good about my self, not sluggish anymore. Today I also attempted to eat the last pineapple fruit popsicle we had in our fridge, and YOU KNOW WHAT! IT WAS DISGUSTING! My tastebuds are so used to eating healthy that the popsicle gave me a headache. I only ate like two bites and gave the rest to my daughter. That makes me happy to know my body is adjusting to eating the right kinds of foods. HALLELUIA!

Guidelines to eating healthy

2012-02-01T11:09:00.000-08:00

To succeed, it is very important to follow a consistent eating schedule.
Consistency will actually give you a profound sense of control over
your world and assure two things:

(1) You won’t get over-hungry, and thus overeat at the next meal
time,

(2) You will be feeding your body regularly to encourage an
increase in your metabolism (that’s the Holy Grail!)

The snacks should be small, depending on your caloric needs.
(e.g., Half a granola bar, piece of fruit, etc.)

The most important aspects in this eating schedule are that
you DO eat breakfast, and that you DO stop eating three hours BEFORE bed. (You might start to get hungry before bed, but hen you will enjoy eight hours
of solid fat burning if you can control yourself.)

By allowing your body to sleep in “fasting mode” - meaning you are not in the midst of digesting a
meal, your body will access stored fat for energy. What better time to be slightly hungry anyway than while you sleep? You wake up hungry, and per this plan, you eat breakfast on schedule!

Drink at least 2 liters or
8 glasses of water a day.

FORTIFY
your diet with a multi-vitamin.

And lastly DO NOT EAT 3 HOURS BEFORE BEDTIME!

Eating Clean

2012-02-01T10:33:00.000-08:00

Some of you are probably clueless on what to eat that is healthy and good for you, well here is a guide to help you to eat clean and healthy.

Climb Michi's Ladder

Michi's Ladder is not a diet. It's a simple substitution plan. To lose weight, try swapping the foods you eat for similar foods in tiers 1 and 2. The more you eat in tiers 1 and 2, the more you'll increase your chances of losing weight.

There are some healthy foods in lower tiers, but they're either calorie dense or nutrient deficient. To lose weight, you want to maximize the nutrients in every calorie you consume.

Note on frying: Foods should be eaten raw, steamed, grilled, poached, baked, or broiled. Frying automatically drops even the best foods into tier 5.

Power and Praise~ No excuses

2012-01-31T11:38:00.000-08:00

Hello fellow followers,
Well this is the first chance I have had to blog. My husband was out of town preaching a revival in san lorenzo, so yup I had all three kids by myself the whole weekend. I missed my stretch workout, but I believe I got my exercise in with putting my 2 year olds bed together. LOL I was sweating up a storm.
I had to bring it hard today since I didn't workout out on Monday either. Had to pick hubby up at the airport, but I got my walk in at the Chandler mall. Haha!
It's good to be back with my exercises and life back to normal. I really enjoyed todays workout. It was Called POWER AND PRAISE, by BODY GOSPEL. So awesome working on strength exercises.
Oh yeah So EXCITED! I went on the scale on Saturday and I was finally under 180! Wohoo 179.4 to be exact. It might not be a big deal to you or anybody else but I haven't been under 180 since I had my 4 year old. RESULTS are happening finally from eating right and exercising.

I did have a cheat meal this weekend. I ate Taco Bell, and boy did it have a bad reaction. I got a really bad headache. I have been eating strictly healthy for so long my body didn't like the bad junk in, even though IT TASTED SO GOOD. Well feel free to comment and please follow me on my blogs to a HEALTHIER LIVING! And remember this doesn't have to be you HAHAHA. You can live a healthy life! Stay encouraged and believe that Jesus will help you to get the courage to say NO to unhealthy eating, and yes to a better you. YOU will have a clearer mind once you start eating right and exercising. You will be sharper to the things of God and feel better about yourself. I will end with an encouraging Scripture for the day.

Psalm 37:4

King James Version (KJV)

⁴Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Proverbs 31 women of God

2012-01-27T19:27:00.000-08:00

I feel so good that I have stuck to my diet and workouts. Today is my 5th day working out to Body Gospel, and the number 1 thing I like about it is, it is not hard at all. Very light in there workouts which is perfect for me since I haven't workout for like 2 years.

I will leave you all with my favorite chapter in the Bible, that encourages me to do things I may think I don't have time for. If we make time and manage it we can accomplish good health and exercise!
Proverbs 31

31:10		Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
31:11		The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
31:12		She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
31:13		She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
31:14		She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
31:15		She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
31:16		She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
31:17		She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
31:18		She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
31:19		She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
31:20		She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
31:21		She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
31:22		She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
31:23		Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
31:24		She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
31:25		Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
31:26		She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
31:27		She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
31:28		Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
31:29		Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
31:30		Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31:31		Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Day 4 of my 30 day challenge

2012-01-26T18:14:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone it's another beautiful day that the Lord has made! I am so thankful to be alive today!s God has been so good to me and my family.
I am still doing body gospel workouts and was a little disappointed that today was only stretching and for only 10 minutes! It felt good while it lasted but I only wish it was at least 30 minutes long. Oh well, I did the rest of my exercise walking around Walmart with my kids. I am so thankful tomorrow is Cardio day again. I really love feeling the burn and the sweat, cuz I know that I am getting all the bad toxins out of my body!
I am so thankful I have had so much energy since I changed my diet. I can honestly say that I havent bought any processed foods for the last Month! Wohoo! This is a big accomplishment for our family as we would always have processed foods in our cart, but now its all natural foods.
Gotta thank God for the small victories. God bless you everyone and feel free to comment and join my blogs. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Hmmm should I eat it Nah!!!

2012-01-25T18:28:00.001-08:00

Well today I had a great day! Worked out to Body Gospel which is my 3rd Day. I am real sore today, but I honestly can say that I brought it! I am loving all the energy I have been feeling. Also since I have cut dairy products out of my diet, I don't feel have a lot of mucous in my throat. Thank God because this is one thing I struggled with as a kid. I was always coughing and didn't know why. It wasn't until I did the daniel fast for the first time that I noticed, that dairy products did this.

I ran into temptation today, we went to Harrah's buffet for dinner, and I am proud to say I ate nothing but veggies, and rice, and for dessert some fruit! I am determined to lose my first 20 lbs. I feel too great to give into eating unhealthy. To me its not worth it. Well that's all for today.

I leave you with this Scripture of encouragement, if you feel you can't exercise or live healthy just remember this verse, "I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me!" Phil 4:13 God Bless

Day 2 of being fit

2012-01-24T16:36:00.000-08:00

Well today is the second day of my 30 day challenge. I feel so good about myself and today's workout. I completed Body Gospel's Core revelation, and it was altogether pretty good. I felt the burn this morning.

This afternoon I also went for a power walk/run. I want to get my endurance up so I can run in a marathon to raise money for brain tumor awareness. As some of you might not know 6 months ago my son had a massive brain tumor which had to be removed. Thankfully my son survived the surgery with no complications in his health, and it was non cancerous.

This has lead me and my hubby to start eating better and help our kids also, since we don't know if food was the factor that caused my son's tumor. Since then we have been on a journey to eat right and lose weight. I have never felt better in my life. So here's to eating great, and staying healthy. I will be posting some recipes up here as well for those of you that need ideas on how to stay fit and eat clean.

Im Back! And feeling great

2012-01-23T11:21:00.001-08:00

Hey people's! Wow it's been too long since I've blogged, but I want to start up again and be faithful. Well I am still on my weight loss journey. Just started up doing Body Gospel this week. Today is Day 1 of the 30 day challenge. I have also drastically changed my diet. So far up to date I have lost 35 lbs since I had my daughter last year in march. I was 215 and now I am weighing in at180. My goal is to be 145 by the end of this year. I am so excited and pumped up!

We are the temple of the Holy Ghost, and eating healthy is just one of the things that we need to do not just for ourselves, but for Jesus! When we don't got junk in our body, we are able to focus more on the things that Jesus wants us to do for his kingdom!

2011-05-07T22:22:00.000-07:00

well today was my second day on atkins and finally im showing traces of burning fat. thankfully i havent come down with the induction flu as of yet. thats when the toxin are being flushed out of your body and you get flu like symtoms like a headache or diziness. make sure to drnk plenty of water and exercise and you wont feel it as much. im also proud to say that i resisted temtation tonight. we were invited to dinner at friends hows and they had tacos! ahhhhhhhhh! but i just made it into a good ole taco salad and i skipped out on th icecream and had me a shakeology when i got home instead. half a scoop of course since it does contain carbs. to me it tastes like a smoothie mmmmmmmmmmm

Atkins Induction/Wii Fit Day 1

2011-05-06T13:06:00.000-07:00

Well today is the start of a journey I haven't been on for awhile. To lose weight and to keep it off. Right now I am weighing at 192. Yes I actually said my weight for the whole world to know. But I am not ashamed or embarrassed. It is who I am at this point in my life, but not for long. You see, about 5 yrs ago I was weighing in around 150. I was 15 lbs away from my ideal weight. Then the joys of life set in, "I got married and got pregnant!" Well 5 years and 3 kids later here I sit. I am determined to lose my baby fat and get back to feeling healthy and in shape.

I am starting the atkins diet today. I am only allowed to eat 20 carbs per day for 2 weeks. This is called the induction phase. I will also be working out on the wii fit for 30 minutes a day since i have to start out slowly exercising.(I had a csection 7 weeks ago). So please pray for me that I may be able to stay strong and steer away from the temptations of the wrong foods. "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matt. 26:41.

AND MY FLESH IS WEAK TO ALL THINGS SWEET, ESPECIALLY CHOCOLATE AHHHHH!!!
