Hello to all,
   Exactly a year ago i wrote to you about changing my life. Well slowly i realized i have. I am finally a NURSE yeaa. Offiically happened in July since then i have been job hunting obviously the market has been not in my favor but time helps us mature...
   Anyway since last year i started working out with a trainer. It was the jump start i needed to change my body and go for my goal. Dont let anyone or anything get in the way of accomplishing your goal. YOu have God and your dreams..make them a reality. It was super expensive but i loved working out with her. She was amazing, strong and always motivating me to be the best i can be..She saw it and now i can see it too. It was from November till about May that i worked out intensly. From 201 to 186...and now 178.8lbs...pretty goood. Wearing a size 10 and 12 at times..I am enjoying it alot. It has raised my confidence.  

August 2011 on South Beach Miami...around 200lbs... Was not too sure but around 200lbs...Sometimes you dont really see the problem until someone kind enough points it out to you or utnil you are brave enough to see it yourself

At a Freinds Wedding: October 2011.  I had a great time and then looked at the photos...ha time for a change.

Yes sirrrr: at my little bros graduation may 2012..went from 201.2 to 186... With the help of a trainer and eating right. The jacket was big then and even bigger now..and yes that is a birthmark on my left boob...ha holla

September 2012... Made 29yrs...Turning over a leaf....and change the color of my hair...Can you tell?? Its highlighted a little red...teehee!!

October 2012 ...178lbs yea yea BABY....FEELIN GOOD  and the jacket is even bigger on me yikes!!!!



MY NEXT GOAL:

KINDA SCARED, ANXIOUS, EXCITED, NERVOUS, NAUSEOUS....


I will show my before and after pictures after completing it twice but ill record my results...I am excited doing insanity but its hard work. I stay sore all day but my energy is through the rough...Of course if you want it enough, you will go through with it...

Thank you to all,

A NEW DECESION

A NEW DECISION... Difficult and humbiling as it is, i need it!!

  During these past few months i have tried different kinds of diets, dieting tips and quick fixes... not really good!!! Obviously not because i have gained a couple of pounds since i left weight watchers. Yup... but im not back to square one. One thing i have noticed in every single time i do a new diet, no matter how good i am doing, its just not enough because im not moving around. I use to feel good up to a certain point because even though you maybe limiting your foods, that is the only thing that I felt that will help me. 

  So now i work out amd even though it is difficult to watch what i eat, i still feel good because im sweating off a lot!!! It just feels good...

 So Move!!!

The dates under my profile will be fixed soon...thank you for your patience...

Scared to Death of Working WHY??

SO i have this thoery that once i start working out i wont be able to stop which is good. But im scared to get thrown off track and never get back on the saddle...So i am stuck? Do i stay or should go forward???

Being on a diet makes u eat more

Have u ever notice that when u start a diet and everything that u usually don't have, you crave. Its like your saving every last thing on the planet and then you'll finally commit to yourself saying "ok. Now that I've had those snickers , that i haven't eaten in 3 years, I can start my diet". But then there is another thing and another...Its like Im  scared of never eating anything sweet or salty or fattening ever again. Im afraid of that!!! i don't know why. Food does have that hold on m. Its makes me feel good. When Im stressed or bored, sad, even happy. Its an emotional thing. Im an emotional eater. lol Regardless of what type of diet im apart of, it wont work unless i figure out why i need food to live...

Weigh-In!!!! DID Better

So back to my old self...I lost .4lbs. Its not a lot but i lost it. I lost the weight i put on last week. See if you put your mind to it and believe in myself, you can do anything!! Positive thinking is a powerful thing. So don't quit, keep trying, Everyday is a new day, and the most important thing. To keep an image of yourself in your mind and it will make you feel good. For me its does, When I'm working out and i wanna quit, I picture myself in the sun with a beautiful blue bikini and im smiling!!! Everyday you have a chance to improve on your health!!!

Interesting Workout from Eve Torres!!!

So while watching a movie, my mom came from Costco and brought this magazine. I don't know if any of you heard it. Its called " Muscle and Performance". i'm not familiar with it..Anyway an article in the magazine mentions a workout  that WWE champion Eve Torres follows. It looks real crazy workout. Well I'm gonna challenge myself. 


This is the workout: Mind you i did not make this workout myself, i found it in July 2011 Muscle and performance. I'm sure you can find it on the internet. Ok so here we go...


Set 1 (repeat three times)
30 box jumps (can be done on a stable chair or bench, or on stairs with more reps)
40 mountain climbers
24 cockroaches ( 12 circles in each direction): Lie on your back with your knees in the air and your head off he ground. Spin around in place on your back (like a cockroach), moving your hips, then shoulders.


Set 2 ( repeat three times)


10 jump squats
25 squats
15 push-ups
40 inverted hip raises (20 on each leg): Lie on your back on the ground and place one foot on an elevated surface, like a chair. Lift your hips off the ground until they are fully extended with only your shoulders on the ground and slowly lower to the start.


Set 3 ( repeat three times)


40 one-legged squats (20 on each leg): Stand three feet in front of a chair, facing away from it. Extend one leg back and place the top of your foot on the seat of the chair, then squat with your standing leg. Make sure that when the bend in your knee reaches 90 degrees, your knee doesn't exceed your toes.


15 triceps dips: With your palms on a chair, fingers facing downward, extend your legs and body. Bend your elbows to 90 degrees while lowering your butt to the floor, then push back up.


30 split-squat jumps (15 each side): Stand with one foot forward, then jump, switching legs in the air an landing with the opposite foot forward


So this is the workout... i am no sure how the effects would be on the body. Personally i don't want to be big and bulky type whose arms are so big you don't have room to wipe your ass, but hey that's for some not for me..: ) Sorry jk jk. whatever makes you happy. For me long and lean but don't loose all my curves just make it more pronounced!!!  


If anyone is interested please try it. Im sure it would be fun and you would get your results... Happy exercising.

2nd Week of WW....uhhh

So You Do You Know when u do well the first week of a eating plan and then u blows off the next week..Well i gained .4 lbs lol only .4 but still it is not an improvement. The fact that i gained was not good for me. Only because its not loosing .4 lbs. I want to always do my best and last week i didn't do my best. I ate a lot every single day lol...and i knew that i was gonna gain. One thing i did start was running. Its good. Its a stress reliever. ...I also find that when i am home, i eat a lot more because all im doing all day is studying and working out, sitting and going online. ha. My mouth is more controlled if im away from home which is obvious, but i do realize that now lol...Well now that i do know, i definitely know that this program works well. So now this thursday i have another weigh in so trying to loose some weight!!! Gonna go for the Goal.
