DeterminedDeana’s BodyBlog

Well, I wanted to give you all an update of my first week with eating healthy and working out with Marzia.  I am loving it!  Lets see, I went to eat Mexican food with my girlfriends, and I didn’t have one chip!  I had chicken fajita meat, small bowl of black beans and one corn tortilla. 

I also have been keeping a journal of my daily food intake and workout schedule.  I like doing this because I hold myself accountable for what I did and didn’t do.  With physically writting everything down and looking back, I have no excuses!

My workouts have been great.  Marzia has been great to train with!  She is very motivating and encouraging.  She doesn’t just stand around and watch, she will push you that extra step and chat with you to keep your mind of the "good pain."  The "good pain" is when you wake up in the morning and can’t walk.  This "pain" will help me look "good."  The eating has been great too!  My breakfast used to be just coffee, but now I have my protein with my fruit in the morning.

Also, I could not live without the Gaspari Nutrition products.  They have been a life saver!  I take my 2 Cytolean in the morning with a big class of water and then I eat 30 min. later.  These really help my appetite throughout the day.  I’m also loving the IntrPro and Superpump mix.  They really give me the energy I need to go that extra mile.  Also, my husband has been taking Gaspari Novadex…he LOVES it!  I think I have him hooked on Gaspari!

Well, my husband and I went out to dinner last night to celebrate my new beginning.  I watched him eat the bread before and during dinner…almost 2 loafs!  He had a blue cheese salad for an appetizer and I had shrimp as an appetizer.  For dinner I had a small 4 oz. steak with asparagus…no potatoes!!  Last night proved that I can go out to dinner and control what I eat.

 SEE YOU IN THE GYM!

Well, this is the start of a new life!  I did my measurements and weight today.  You have no idea how excited I am about this transformation.  I decided that just because I’m 35 doesn’t mean my body couldn’t change…for the best!  I want to inspire other women in their 30’s (with or without children), that its never too late to make a change.  I want to do this for my kids and my husband.  I have been married for 14 years and why should I let myself go.  I was getting too comfortable with my body and my baggy clothes.  My husband works out 5-6 days a week.  Why can’t we look and feel good together?
