I'm back!!

Wow it's been 3 years since I have updated this! That is really sad, but I'm hoping to be back for good! A little update to get us started:
Peter and I are doing great! We have both been working full time jobs, we bought our first home together and we have a new dog, Champ! Rocky and Champ are great brothers and amazing dogs for us! We get out to the park to play with the boys and take them everywhere we go! Rocky still loves shadows and Champ is a little cuddlier. We are excited to announce we are expecting our first baby boy! Due October, I have been big on trying to stay in shape and healthy while pregnant. Swimming has been my favorite thing this summer. Aerobics in the water is great for your muscles and body. I also try to walk at least 30 min a day and do some light stretching.
My goals: to update my blog with some pregnancy workouts, after the birth I would love to train for a figure competition next Oct. it will give me 1 year to get my body back. I will be sharing and showing you what I'm doing to get to that point. I'm excited for the next few years, I hope you stay tuned and enjoy reading some healthy tips while pregnant and after delivery!

Our Wedding Day!



Peter and Mary Clavell

June 25, 2011

Best Friends Joined Together Forever and Always! We had an amazing wedding! Thank you to everyone that was able to come enjoy our celebration! I walked down the aisle at 6:25 pm, our son Rocky got to be a part of all it. A back yard wedding, with wonderful weather in Utah! We had Flip Book come and make books for all of our guest (awesome entertainment), we also had Zeppes Italian Ice, Peters mom's friend cooked Korean food, my mom cooked salmon, and Peters great friend gave us an amazing gift to share with all our guest, shredded pork. We had a DJ with dancing on the basketball court! The pool was open with some pictures and a water fountain in the middle. We enjoyed our first dance and our daddy/daughter and mother/son dance, cutting the cake, and bouquet and garter toss. The drinking and celebration had just started and their I go into the POOL, yes I said the POOL! I didn't react to much, more disappointed I didn't get to wear my WHITE dress and look beautiful all night long! We enjoyed the rest of the night with all our great family and friends! After the enjoyment of the celebration we headed to the hotel. On our way we took a detail to McDonald's, for our first meal together as a married couple! (real healthy)

Kids Cloth Set

Let's Go GREEN!!! Norwex is a product out on the market that I think is amazing! I can clean my, windows, mirrors, sinks, counters, toilets, tubs/ showers, shelf's, stove tops with TWO cloths and some water!!! Crazy, but BELIEVE it!! I have a body towel that washes all my makeup off and exfoliates my face all in one... you just add water~  They have so many different products and you have to see it to believe it and to really understand! I think they are pretty amazing towels that will have you saving money on the paper towels, sponges, Clorox wipes, and all those nasty chemical cleaners you purchase every month. Norwex has proven that their antibac towels pick up germs and bacteria and the silver built in the towels kills the germs and bacteria.... so you never have those smelly nasty rags sitting on your counters! Just hang and dry! I have just decided that I am going to be a consultant for it and start selling the product! if you have any questions, concerns or want to Host a party please contact me on my website maryclavell.norwex.biz  Thanks for all your support and love!

Soon to be Mrs. Clavell

I am not sure if you all know but I'm getting married! Planning a wedding and trying to be on a diet and working out is a lot of work, but every couple goes through it at some point of time. Wedding planning is a lot of fun and you want to look your very best on that day for that person you truly love! First thing is first, make a goal; what size do you want to be, what do you want to weigh, what dress do you want to fit in. Planning a wedding is a lot of stress, and work. Make sure you set a time everyday to do some exercise and pack your fridge with healthy foods. If you set a goal and track everything you eat until your wedding day and it's healthy food and some cardio, you will lose weight. Toning your body is a different thing, that is when you need to add the weights in with your workout plus cardio. Peter and I both plan on doing another show this spring in April a few months before our wedding in June. Getting ready and planning a wedding is kind of crazy but I am very excited.

Wedding Bells are ringing! Are you getting married this year, and would like to lose a few pounds before hand?! To look good in all those pictures, I do as well! Here are a few tips to help you stay healthy and tone up for that big day!

Have a GOAL
Make sure you make a goal and a date for this goal to be achieved... take pictures, write everything down, keep track of what you are doing... stay on top of it and it will make your success that much better!

Drink Water
Skip the diet soda and start drinking water. Besides being good for you, water helps your body get rid of toxins, and constant sipping can help keep you from over-snacking. So grab a bottle you can bring around with you and figure out how many refills you'll need to get your daily fill. The amount of water your body requires is based on your weight. How much do you need? Divide your weight in half. The resulting number equals the ounces of water you should be drinking every day. Example: weight- 129lbs so I would need to drink 64.5 ounces of water, just over a 1/2 a gallon of water a day. Drink as much as you can!!!
Tip: Get a filtered water pitcher for better-tasting water, and add a few lemons or limes to your water bottle to give it some flavor. If you don't like the taste of water, add crystal light only 5 calories.

Slim Down Servings
Big servings are one of the main calorie problems of weight gain. Start with small portions and take more only if you're still hungry. Experts even suggest that it's better to eat four or five small meals with moderate portions throughout the day than to have two or three large meals. Eat more often to keep your metabolism going all day to burn the extra fat.
Meal 1 -Protein shake with 1/4 cup oatmeal
Meal 2 -1 can of tuna with an apple
Meal 3 -6oz. chicken breast (no skin) with 1 cup of green beans
Meal 4 - ground turkey with some salad... salsa for dressing
Meal 5 -protein shake
Meal 6 - 8oz. chicken breast (no skin) with sweet potato
Tip: Carry healthy snacks with you when you're on the go like almonds or jerky. Healthy munching will not only keep your energy level up, it'll also keep you from binging on a big meal when you finally do sit down to eat. When cutting back on calories, it's important to take a daily multivitamin. Lack of vitamins and iron may leave you tired and inclined to reach for a candy bar or fatty snack.

Cut Back on Booze
A celebratory drink can cost you 150 calories or more. And that's if you only have one! Even if you're in the habit of having just a few drinks a week, cutting back on alcohol can save you hundreds of calories in the end. Save the cocktails for the special occasions coming up and sip water instead.
Tip: Can't give them up entirely? Try alternating alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages so you won't feel left out of the festivities.

Exercise!
Yes, this is an obvious one. But seriously -- do something-anything! to get moving. Twenty minutes of exercise a day will do wonders to boost your energy and kick-start the calorie burning process. Walk to the grocery store, take the stairs at work, do sit ups while watching TV, or at least do a few laps of window shopping in your local mall. If you're serious about shedding inches, aim to do 30-45 minutes of aerobic exercise (running, cycling, swimming) three or four days a week. You can always come train with me! Just let me know!
Tip: Choose a time of the day when you usually feel motivated and energetic -- that way, you'll be more likely to stick with it. If you're a morning person, hit the gym before work. But if you're the "don't talk to me till I've finished my coffee" type, an evening or even a quick lunch workout may be better for you.
