Michelie’s BodyBlog

Last night I was at the gym and one of the trainers came up to me at the gym and said "I am afraid of you…You work out like an animal!" He then proceeded to tell me that one of his guys that he trains said the same thing to him two days before "That girl is an animal…she works out like crazy" All I can do was laugh and say "Nice…that is an awesome reputation to have.."  It totally revved me up and showed in my workout

So now I am going around saying to myself…"I am an animal in the gym" and it feels good! LOL

I decided to write a blog just because I haven’t written one in a very long time…I also realize I haven’t posted any progress pics up either! Geez I need to get on that! I have been super busy with working and classes that time gets ahead of me…

Training has been going very well…for a while there I was getting too stressed out with making sure alll of my meals are prepared, calculating my macros and my workout plan that I think I put myself in a rut where I was getting to crazy with the macros and not eating enough and missing workouts here and there….I took a step back and told myself to straighten up and stop with all of the maddness…so after my lovely self-evaluation… I am back at it…feeling myself again..my training is on point, my food preparation and macros are all good and stress is gone with

And on an even cooler note…the past two weeks I had three guys come up to me at the gym and tell me "You are strong as hell" and "You put lots of guys to shame in here!" Of course these awesome comments defintely got to me and made feel better…because I am always hard on myself and think I should be farther along than what I am…At this particular gym I am referencing (because I am crazy and belong to 4 in multiple locations lol) I am the only female that actually sets foot into the weight areas so I think the guys notice what I am lifting more….one day I may head over to where the cardio equipment is and recruit some ladies to workout with me…What do you think? Think they may go fior it?

 Well Anyways just a little update on where I have been and what I have been up to….Just remember when the stresses of life get to you…take a step back and reevaluate…it definitely helps! Have a good day everyone!

So last night I went to family’s house for dinner….and within five minutes of being there….I was asked "Has anyone ever lectured you on your eating habits?" LOL I replied "No why should they?" and then I got a lecture which included the phrases "You only eat chikcen everytime I see you" (which may I add is not that often), "Do you eat anything besides chicken" "You don’t eat like everyone else" and my favorite "You will get over this soon." hahah like I am going through a phase and I will be back to "normal" and eat crap like everyone else in the family….Got to love it!

After the lovely lecture I received, we had a nice dinner which consisted of Chicken LOL and a yummy salad they made….they told me they made sure they had chicken since that is all I eat…so I had to repeat myself about ten times to let them know that I also eat extra lean meat and fish but I am sure they didn’t hear me hahaha

When I left I headed straight to the gym laughing to myself about how people think it is so abnormal for someone to eat healthy but whatev…I had an awesome workout last night afterwards which I am sure I will be feeling later on today once the soreness sets in

Hope everyone has a swell weekend! Eat healthy!

So this weekend was a rough one…not really for me but for those around me. On Saturday I had a family grad party to attend and I KNEW the food they would have there was not going to be part of my regimen…so I figured since it was my close family’s house that I would bring my own food…I cooked up some chicken and green beans packed it up and slipped in the fridge when I got there….all was going well and when the food was put out at 5:30ish I took out my goods and sat to eat with a few people in the living room (there were people dispersed throughout the house and backyard)…so now I knew this would be a little funny because while everyone is stuffing  their face with arroz con condules, fried platanos, chicken, pork, lasagna, meatballs…etc…I was eating out of my tupperware with chicken and green beans LOL so I only got about three comments (which was pretty damn good from what I am used to) "Are you on the Atkins Diet?" "Do you always eat like that?"….So all went well….or so I thought…

YESTERDAY I was back at my fam’s house and someone was like "I heard you didn’t eat yesterday?" I was like "I didn’t eat?" and she was like "yeah well so and so said you didn’t eat…well you didn’t eat the food we had here…" meanwhile the so-and so was the person I was sitting next to while I was chowing down on my chicken and green beans and didn’t say a thing to me! OK so since I didn’t eat what everyone else ate, it is not considered eating! So this annoyed the hell out of me as usual and I got home and had to rant a little to my fam that understands my lifestyle even though I would have expected for the extended fam to get it already too by now….I am always fine after I rant a little BUT later on in the night my mom comes into my room and is crying because she felt terrible that I have to go through this because I am always getting it from someone! I calmed my mom down and said it was fine…I am used to it and am fine with it…but I don’t like that my mom was crying over this!

 So it continues….Just when you think people making comments about this lifestyle is over..NO NO…I am cool with it because I know I am doing what makes me happy and healthy and if others don’t like it not my prob…but I am not going to like it definitely erks me that they all sit there and shove heaps and heaps of fattening food into their mouths and then have to comment because I am not eating it! I know they are prob just insecure but get a grip! Me being like this is NOT NEW!  

 Hope everyone had a great weekend! Keep eating healthy!

Yay I just put up two videos..nothing fancy…but I really do love this site…it is fab all the things you can do

 I can’t wait to get to the gym later as I did not get there on the weekend….some crazy stuff going on but I did keep on track with the foods even though I had two bbq’s. I ALWAYS bring food with me so that I have stuff to eat LOL…At first I felt weird but I now I am like whatev and people are used to me already…

 Hope everyone is doing well and your weekend was great! Happy Monday!:)

So this morning I awoke and was ready for my lovely morning jog….the weather is absolutely perfect and it was just the right temperature. I was half way through my run and I was approaching a house where there were gardners blowing all sorts of stuff and mowing and what not so I decided I was going to make way onto the street to get out of their way and to also not have to run around them on the sidewalk….so I made way on to the street but was still close to the sidewalk since there were cars on the road….All of a sudden a branch flys right in front of me and I have to quickly make a move to run around it so I didn’t break my face! One of the gardners sees what is happening and was like "I am so sorry" because the branch flew in my path because he blew it there and was like "No prob" and keep running…the best part…as I keep running past him he says "Wow look at that ass!" Um ok WHAT THE HELL….Don’t people feel dumb saying stuff like that somtimes…what if I was some crazy psycho girl that took offense and turned back and around and started with him hahah  but I didn’t I kind of just snickered and kept on trucking!

 I will be hitting the gym on the late night for a session with the trainer…can’t wait!

 Anyways I had nothing else to blog about and since I haven’t written one in a while I figured I would write about my morning jog..so there!:)

Since I was sick for the past few days and was not able to get to the gym. Today was the first day that I felt pretty good so I went to get my pump on and it felt great! I am still a little congested which I think slowed my pump a little but it felt so good to be back in action! Just wanted to share how happy I am to be back in it! Hope you all have a great weekend!

LOL …nice title right…well today is my fifth day of being home sick…it started out as a stomach thing and then moved right on up to my throat and head UGH I have been doing some exercises here at home when I feel up to it but I am DYING to get back to the gym (well my mind and heart is anyway) cause my body is like OH HELL NO! hahahah I may try to hit up the gym later on today before class but if not will DEFINITELY go tomorrow…being sick has definitely cracked me up…for example the other day I am laying in bed moaning in pain because of my stomach thinking to myself "This better go away so I can eat because I can’t lose my precious muscle" haha I just feel like a lump…a soft lump hahaha and can’t wait to pump some life into my body again hahaha

Hope you all have a great day and are feeling good and HEALTHY! Get a good pump for me! God Bless!

So just now I get a private message that says:

"get some more size on those weak arms and legs. nobody cares if you belong to three gyms if you dont know what youre doing when you’re at them, lol"

 Sounds this person has issues….I really do love this site because everyone is so encouraging and positve and when I get messages like this is just pushes me harder LOL…PLUS size is not a tell-all of strength DUH…..

Just wanted to share with you all….Hope you all have a great day and continue to stay positive! Thank you all for the support and encouragement!

So I have only been awake for 4 hours and this morning has been quite hectic already! I work for a university and I belong to the gym on campus. This is quite convenient because I will go do my cardio in the morning, shower, dress and then head right over to work (right next to campus) and be there in lik 2 minutes! Well this morning I get to the gym and realize I left my work clothes on a hanger at my house which is about 40 minutes away (at that time since there is mucho traffic)! So I am standing there in my raggy gym clothes dumbfounded staring into the backseat of my car…like the clothes are going to magically appear…trying to figure out what to do! LOL I am thinking to myself if I go all the way back home I will be super late for work and waste LOTS of gas! So I remember that Target opens at 8 and I get in my car and head on over….with traffic it took me like 25 minutes to get there (8.15am….I walk in and it is so peaceful (best time to shop) but I don’t have time I am determined to get a bargain outfit hahaha so I find a few pairs of pants…I only try one pair of pants decided they fit okay and head over to checkout…$36 later I am on my way back to the gym…I get there at like 8:50 and decide I am really in the mood to do my cardio even though I have to be at work in 10 minutes hahahah SOOOO I call my boss on her cell tell her what I did…and explain I am going to be a1/2 hour late because I still need to shower…she is really an awesome boss…she is like lol no prob get here when you get here…Love her! So I did my HIIT for 20 minutes, showered and arrived at work at 9:37 WOOOOOOO The only thing is obviously I must have tried on the pants at Target a little too fast because these pants are pretty huge on me hahahah….the shirt is long so it covers a lot of the hugeness but GEEZ….BUT IN THE END….I know that this whole ordeal started because I wanted to do cardio which has helped to make me lean which is why these size 2 pants are big on me and then I just smile!

Hope everyone has a good morning and everything just flows as it should!
