Keke’s BodyBlog

It’s on and popping as one of my best friends would say! I felt so awesome on the treadmill this morning. I had gone to the Raptor’s playoff game against New Jersey Nets last night, and as a result went to bed later than I should given that I have to get up and on the treadmill by 4 AM. Regardless, I did not feel tired and really worked it this morning. 

Talking about the game, what an awesome game that was. Thank God Toronto won. Now, the need to take it to New Jersey and pull two more wins!!! Go Raptors!!!! And … to top if all off …. Sam Mitchell won Coach of the Year award! How amazing is that. This just might be Toronto’s year! 

So, I am 3 days back into training after that short hiatus that I had to take. There are a couple of good things to note. First, my body is feeling that great ache and pain that goes with working the muscles real good. Second, I was 155.5 lbs on Monday, and now 147.5 lbs this morning. So, I am dropping the water weight I had been holding onto as a result of the pregnancy. This is definitely more like it. Amazingly, it also feels like I have started to trim down.  This weekend, I have my first posing session. So, I am very excited about that. I’ve gotta start practicing 30 minutes everyday without a mirror to land those poses. 

Today is my day off from training, so I’m just going to head home after work and spend the eve with my hubby.  Before I sign off for the day, I just have to say something again to those that are trying desperately to lose weight… It’s not going to come off if you don’t watch the food you are eating, the regularity that you’re eating and the amount of calories that you are putting into your mouth …. If you are drinking anything other than water, it counts towards your daily caloric intake. I had yet another convo with someone I know that is trying to loose weight, and as we are talking about it, they are busy saying yes to an order of ice cream and cookies while drinking something that was not water. They are convinced that solely with exercise (and cardio at that), that they’ll loose the 20 lbs they need to lose. Sigh …. I tried to educate, so hopefully they will listen. 

Here’s something for you …. We often say that ‘knowledge is power’. Well think about this for a moment …. ‘knowledge is not power’ .. it is the ‘application of the knowledge that is power’. 

Have a great day, and see you back here tomorrow.  Cheers,  Nke
