She Like to Party

This weekend we went out for Floyd’s version of Mardi Gras, a benefit for the local alternative school. I purchased the tickets weeks ago, but was having a hard time getting motivated to go out. All day we were hemming and hawing over the event. Should we go or shouldn’t we? Going out always has it’s challenges for me, mostly out of insecurity–public dancing (I usually quickly get over this and love it) and what will I talk about? What will I wear?

Looking for a way to get more excited about the evening I decided that we should just go all out (at least for us) with our outfits. I went the makeup root and searched on youtube for mardi gras makeup. I picked up a big green glittery butterfly from the local fabric store. By the time I finished I was so proud of my drag-esque makeup and ready to go. Can I just say that false lashes are awesome!?

Do you have any pre-party rituals?

When Will I Start Losing Weight? Mothers Of New Baby Who Run?

(My stats before prego 5’3″ 123, currently 143) Ok, had a baby 2 1/2 months ago. I was a runner before I got pregnant and ran as long as I could. Started back running a month after she was born. I’m currently training for a half marathon. I had 40 lbs to lose after she was born and the 1st 10 lbs came off w/o me noticing. The 2nd 10 lbs took a little while longer. Now I’ve got 20 more lbs to lose and I know I’ve lost body fat b/c my body fat percentage is down 4% but my weight hasn’t changed. So I assume I’m losing fat at the same rate I’m gaining muscle but what I’m wanting to know is when will I start losing weight?
I had alot of muscle before I got pregnant. I lifted weights and ran.
And I know the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn at rest. Oh, and I eat healthy and drink plenty of water b/c I’m also breastfeeding and I know I have to stay plenty hydrated.
Would it be that my body knows i’m breastfeeding and is trying harder to hang on to the fat for the baby? And that’s why I’m having a hard time?
And another question, for any breastfeeding mothers that run also. Would the lactic acid from running get in breast milk and make my baby fussy? Like if I fed her right after a run? I usually try to run right after I feed her so then I have at least an hour to rest before she needs to eat again. But there have been times as soon as I got back from a run I had to feed her.
And stretch marks, is there anything I can do? I know i’ve heard coco butter but isn’t that just for prevention or them?

Fast Fat Loss – 5 Tips to a Fast Fat Loss

Everyone who wants to lose weight wishes that his or her fat loss will be as fast as possible. Many diets promise just that with a varying degree of success and reliability. But there are some simple steps you can take that, regardless of the diet plan you’re using, can boost the pace of your fat loss.

5 tips to a fast fat loss

1. Write down what you eat – Carry around a small notepad in which you’ll write down what you eat and the time in which you do so. That way you’ll have a small task to give you pause between any sudden cravings you may have and satisfying them. You’ll also be able to go over what you eat every day and be much more aware of what you can cut back on.

2. Get a good night sleep – sleeping well is very important to keep a healthy physical balance. Sleeping also insures that all the systems in your body are working as well as they normally should and therefore are burning more calories and fat. If you don’t sleep well, your fat loss will slow down considerably. It is best to sleep 7. 5 – 8 hours each night.

3. Replace deserts with fruit – You can’t imagine how tasty a fresh and juicy piece of fruit can be. Fruit is often much tastier than regular deserts and is much healthier. Replacing your deserts with fruit will also cut down on the amount of useless calories, processed sugar and fat that you eat.

4. Tell everyone that you’re on a diet – Being on a diet should not be a secret and you shouldn’t hide it. On the contrary, if you know that the people around you know that you’re on a diet, it will get you much more motivated to succeed in what you’re doing.

5. Eat 4-5 medium sized meals a day – Eating 3 meals can prove disastrous to your fat loss quest, because when you eat 3 meals, each meal tends to be a large one. Your body has a hard time dealing with that amount of food all at once, so it does a poor job of digesting your food as well as it should, and it ends up converting more of your food into fat. Don’t overeat, just spread the amount of food into more meals.

Follow these 5 tips and you’ll enjoy a faster fat loss.
