Here I am and Here I stand!

Hello!

It has been a little while since I've been on. So I guess you might of guessed, I relapsed. We are human. I have been working myself into a routine. I started out not working out, then doing it once a week, then slowly moving to one workout and some extra exercise here and there during the week. So today I did my workout and I plan to workout tomorrow to. Actually.... I WILL workout tomorrow and everyday this week. Usually when I workout a lot my weekend "workouts" are going out to walk and/or run. I love to get out the house and smell the fresh air. It just puts me in a better mood.

I keep coming across this quote everywhere, so it must be a sign right?

I am promising myself a better me and healthier me. My goal is for a healthier me and in the process lose weight. I want my body to be strong, have muscle, be toned and pretty ...to me. I must work on focusing on how I feel about MY body. When I can love myself, everyone else can love me too. Everyday is a battle and I plan to win it!!



I am a regular woman facing a hard road ahead and this time I don't plan on stopping til I get to my destination. I need motivation, confidence, will power and most of all GOD to get me through this.

Come with me on my journey.

You betta work Bitch!

Today I am bringing you a post with a great song for a workout playlist. I will be adding more songs and such.


Today's song is : Work Bitch

It has a great beat. My favorite thing that makes it a great workout song is the lyric " You want a hot body, look hot in a bikini.....you betta WORK BITCH."  Isn't that what we all want?

 

Happy Listsening!!

New year, New me?

Hello!

It is now 2014! Are you wondering whether I am new and improved? Well...... the answer is NO!

I am still not at my goal weight yet. I actually weigh more. I stopped exercising for four months and gained all the weight back and then some. I got lazy. No excuses just truth. I bet you are wondering how in the hell can I motivate people to be better if I'm not? That's a GREAT question. When I made this blog it was to not only motivate you but to motivate me. I was hoping to find people who struggled like I do so we could motivate each other. I didn't put myself out there like I should of. I am a timid and shy person.

I am back to exercising but not everyday maybe twice a week, I will be back on my schedule Monday though. Usually when  say this I binge eat throughout the weekend. This time I will not do that. That's going to be different which I hope sets the stage for a better regimen and mindset this time around.

I will also be more active on this page. I will put up some videos, pics, and motivation for you and for me.

So here is to a new you and new me!!

Last Week of Focus T25 Month 1

Hey guys,

Here I am with only 2 workouts left of the first month of Focus T25. I have lost a total of 3 lbs. I know that is not a lot at all. I am very disappointed. I am disappointed  in the progress I've made. I've done Insanity and Insanity Asylum and this is just not doing it for me.  I hope month 2 is way harder. I sound crazy don't I? I am proud that I have stuck it out. I need to give all credit to the challenge group I am a part of. We have to take a picture of yourself once you are done with your workout EVERY day.  That holds you accountable. You could easily fake a picture but I would hate the feeling of cheating and guilt. I still need to work on portions and saying NO to junk food. I am doing better on both but it's still a challenge. We all have our faults.


This once skinny girl who got fat is determined to be skinny again. If it takes me 3 yrs or 100 I will keep on trucking.




Until Next time........

Another week, Another Pound

Hello guys,

How are you? All is well on my end. As I stated in my last blog post I would be starting Focus T25 and I have. I am on my third week. I am really liking it. It's only 25 minutes a day and that's really no time at all. If you have done Insanity Pure cardio it's kinda like that.

I've lost 4lbs so far which I wish was more but 'slow and steady wins the race' right? I can tell a big difference in my arms and waist, I've lost a couple inches. When I started I also started with Shakeology(chocolate) which I REALLY like. I really wasn't sure if I was going to like it but it turns out every morning I can't wait to have my shake it literally is a SERIOUS craving for me. Which I'd rather crave that then junk food.

I am going to try to incorporate another workout in with T25. I will update you with how that goes.....


Here are some recent pics of me. I can tell a difference in my face!!

Next week I am going to do a video update and body pics!!

That will be a big step for me, but I feel OK with that.

Lifestyles, Life Change

Hey everyone!

It has been a little while since I've updated you. I've been busy and my other lap top has crashed. So I am using an old MacBook from 2009. It's better than nothing but I've always been a Windows person so this a change I am still trying to get use to. I have a webcam but still have no idea on how to use it.

This week I've started Shaun T's new workout program, Focus T25. It's a workout program that is ONLY 25 minutes. So I've been getting up at 5 am and I am done by 5:36. I bought it as a challenge pack so I got Shakeology with it. I got the chocolate one. It's only the second day but I can definitely tell a difference. My appetite is like not even there. Yesterday I put bananas in my shake and I didn't like that at all. It tasted so thick and chalky. Today I just put more ice and just the powder and it was SOOO good. I had to force myself to drink it all though bc I was full before I was even done. I think if it works like it says it does I will continue to use it.


I still haven't reached my goal but that's my fault. I stopped working out and started eating more junk. So I gained back that 5lbs I had lost. I got bored with my Insanity and Insanity Asylum(I don't what my deal is.) With this challenge pack I have joined a challenge group with people completing the workout program with me, so I am hoping this keeps me accountable and motivated.


Here's to hoping my life style is a life change.

A little closer to my goal

As you can see by my title that I am a little closer to my weight loss goal. I have lost 5lbs since the last time I have updated you last.

The reason? I had 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and coudln't chew. I can barely chew now so I foresee me keeping this weight off. I haven't exercised in almost 2 wks bc I wanted to give my gums time to heal properly. Next Monday I will be back on track.

How have your goals been coming a long? I hope they are coming al ong just fine.

Until next time!!
