Very Sad Day

boricuabella — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 08:56:48 +0000

Today my family & I had to take my 22yr. old cousin off life support. It’s a very sad day for us. I won’t be working out this week, I’m currently in Tampa Florida. I just would like to ask my Bodyspace friends to say a prayer for my family because it truly is a hard day for us. Go home hug your family because you never know when it will be your last day with them. Take Care & God Bless!!

I was tired after my workout but it was a good tired lol. Eats have been 100% clean. It’s just hard to get all the meals in due to my Job. For those that don’t know I work on an ambulance for the FDNY & trust me we’re always on a job so we eat when we can. We don’t get lunch breaks. I carry my food with me everyday to make it easier to eat but sometimes you just don’t get the chance. Anyway I hope everyone is doing well with their workouts. Take Care & God Bless.

p90x

boricuabella — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 07:33:07 +0000

Hello Everyone, I’d like some feedback on the p90x system, I’m thinking of purchasing it & would like to hear from people who have actually tried it. I started my cardio workouts today, I did 30 min on the elliptical slowly increasing the resistance. It felt great getting back into working out. I started eating clean also, wish me luck on my fitness journey.

Hi Everyone

This is my first blog so bear with me I’m kind of down today because i weighed myself just to find out I’m heavier than I thought. I’m trying not to let it get me down or discourage me from my goals but it is hard. I joined BB.com for support & encouragement & I can honestly say everyone on here is great. I don’t get any support from family because they don’t feel I need to lose weight & think my eating clean is crazy, I’m always told "you only have one life might as well eat whatever you want" I reply I want to eat clean, which they tell me you’re crazy. My sons are my rocks they think I look great but they support my choice to be in the best shape of my life. I just want to say thank you to all who have reached out & given me the words of encouragement I need because we all need them from time to time. To Everyone on BB.Com I say stay positive, eat clean, lift Heavy & never ever let anyone discourage you. God Bless & Take Care
