Beauty Revealed…

Hey all, I’m off to a great start this week thanks to my two wonderful trainers Azi and Kat. The training is unique to me because I am use to following a video. Be it Taebo or Cathe.com strength training vids. I actually have to count my own sets, and max out using my own point of failure (not the vids )

I do feel this will shake up my body a bit since it’s probably use to my same ole routine. I’m so excited because I stuck to plan all day yesterday and today. I picked healthy alternatives that I know I like. Tuna, turkey etc etc. I got my nutrition plan this morning and will start that on Wednesday. It may be a challege for me because the training and the nutrition is new to me. I’m going to have to grin and bare it cause I’m looking to be the next 12 week transformation success! I am transforming my mind as well cause as long as I think I can’t I won’t but if I believe and speak and think I can I will. Thats the road I want to stay on.

I’m motivated and determined this week. It’s only week one so I have to cling to the momentum. I’m hoping to see some significant water loss and 2 to 3 lbs of fat this week. Seeing that will definitely keep me motivated for the next weekly cycle. I’m starting to look at it week by week now also. This helps me not focus so much on how far I am from my goal.

Ironically I had a death in the family (my uncle) this saturday so I thought I would be off plan for this week. But there this determination starting to boil up inside me. Most likely from hearing and reading the encouraging and motivating words from my trainers. Kat’s real nice and definitely knows what I am going through. And Azi, well…Azi’s up on it. Not going to let me miss a beat and being a good trainee is first and foremore in my mind anyway…almost more than losing the weight itself. LOL 

 I mean who wants to disappoint there trainers

week 1 Pictures to be posted tonight….here we go!

You’ll be lighter on your feet and feeling refreshed and stronger each day. Yes,me, Health and Total Fitness is taking over your mind. Your body has no choice but to follow."

Well,

Today is the beginning of a new nutritional life for me. I haven’t received my eating plan yet from my trainer but I am committed to let go of the "crap" and eat "clean" the best I know how. I tried all weekend but I wasn’t psyched up enough and kept eating what I wanted. I’ve been reading alot lately on this site and alot of my books (Body for Life, Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle, Diet Mind, etc. etc.) And I really did forget how important nutrition is. I also failed to remember that bad nutrition can cause major health problems. I guess this came to mind because it seems like I have been holding alot of water weight. More than I usually do. I’m hoping those trials of diet pills and daily does of 5hour energy shots to stay woke at work hasn’t cause me any internal issues. I’m going to schedule a full physical and make sure. I did go to the OBGYN a week ago and everything seem to be cool (BP, Insulin, etc etc) But why have I put on so much weight in the last 3 months…water weight at that. I mean when I started working I was 189lbs in May. Now it’s August and I am tipping the scale at 221. 30lbs in 3 months? Anyway. This week will tell because I am going to stand strong this week. It’s not going to be easy because I go through some kind of withdrawal like a dope fein or nicotine addict. It’s not my imagination it’s real. I get real cranky coming off the sweets and the breads and the fast foods and the vending machine crap. I mean, I struggled real hard this morning not to stop at dunkin donuts or mcdonald to get me a breakfast sandwich. Instead   when I got to work I made my protein shake, took my vitamins and said NO TO CRAVINGS! I’m good after the first week so please, all who read this please please drop some encouraging words. The last time I went through this I slept alot because I was so tempted. But now that I work 80 hours a week that’s not an option. Bodyspace will be my place of regrouping when I am getting through these urges.

On another note the crossover in exercise has been excellent. I never had a problem with working out once I got started. I love working out! It feels so good even when it hurts. And to know that you are helping your body sure motivates me. I gain muscle easy too so this part of the transformation comes natural. However knowing what to do specifically to get the results I’m looking for is what I am not knowledgable in. Thats what Azifukared is going to help me with.

Peace Out…

Well here they are, my offical 2008 before pics. Looking at these pis has really made me think "what the heck….why did I let myself get this big again."

 I am going to really take head to the training tips I am getting. I have been checking out my trainers bodyspace page and man….I’m scared LOL. But shhhhhhh don’t tell him cause he might use that against me :D

I have gained so much weight but seeing these pics shows me just how much. WELL time to go getter like I have been claiming for months now. REALLY STRUCK ME HARD SEEING ME THIS BIG AGAIN BUT I AM OPTAMISTIC ABOUT THE AFTER PICTURES ;D

AND HERE GOES……

Well, I’m really excited. I’ve been sharing with my co-worker half the day that. Someone on here found it in ther heart to take out the time and help me reach my goals. I am so grateful and am going to adhere to all to show my gratidude. The accountability will be a big plus in my undisciplined lifestyle right now. I’m so excited that I cant wait to take my new before pics so I’m going to take them when I get off from work. Well, probably tonight whille i am at my other job. Then I’ll post them to my progress section and to this blog. Yeah Help is on the way…..!

I’ll try to be as honest as possible and take the pics without sucking in my enourmous gut… LOL

Well these pics are the last pics I have taken but I am about 30lbs heavier now. So use your imagination. I will take some to date pictures this weekend. And start this journey yet another time.

Well since I have gained so much weight. Mostly water because of all the carbs and salt I have been taking in. I need to take some new before pics.  I really am digging deep to use this site for help. Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming because of so much information and so many different views here on bodybuilding.com. But I will try to take in as much as I can and sort through what will work for me. I said a while ago that I have lost weight before and I think my biggest motivation then was my husband pressuring me to stay at it. Now I have to find my own motivation and that has been the hardest part. Nothing I  have come up with has kept me on track so today I am praying for a clear conscise pointed reason to stay at it this time. My weight is spiraling out of control and I feel so heavy and nothing fits. It’s starting to get my attention LOL!

I need a laptop. Cause I want to post every temptation every victory everything related to me gaining a healthy fit body. So much is in my way and it’s been so easy to just grab a pack of twizzlers and ritzer cheese and cracker mini’s out of the vending machine at work (Which I just did). NOt to mention the chicken sandwich I had from Burger King today with Fries. I guess the only thing I am proud of is the fact that I stopped all the calorie drinks and I only drin water or tea. But that’s not going to alone get this body of mind in shape. Unfortunately I have to be honest and post my current weight which is so so so shameful. But alot of it is water weight that I am holding. I think because I tried some stupid prescription drugs and a water pill that now my body is all out of wack. I didn’t stay on them but for like a week and stopped cause I didn’t like how I felt on them. I did better just working out like crazy and using meal replacements. God help me I feel like I’m slipping away here and I’ll look like a big fat balloon in a minute. Gogetter is tired of Going what the heck happen to me!

God is Good and is mercy endures forever! Wow, I have made some major changes. However they have not been physical. It’s time that my outside reflect what is going on in the inside. This will benefit me so many ways and most of all I will be properly taking care of the body God gave me. We only get one so why have I neglected it beats me! Anyway I just wanted to say Hi to all again and hope to be encouraged on this journey. I always feel determined in the beginning but the race is not given to the swift but those who can endure to the end! Endurance is my focus in every aspect of life and this includes building a healthy fit body. Take care all!

Ok, I know i haven’t kept up with the picture posting so I got a few coming today. But let me say that even though it’s a slow process I’m still headed in the right direction. I was sick with a bad cold for the last week and a half so that through me off cause I started straying away from my diet. But never the less, I’m back at it today ready to take on this buldge battle and defeat it before year end. Anyone out there still cheering me on?

Luv Ya,

Crisha
