Thanks Again Drugs :)…also, any suggestions on supplements??

September 2, 2009

I woke up  at 7:30am took my drugs, and went back to bed with my pup. Now I’m back up again, only to take more drugs, haha. And of course write a body blog. For those who still don’t know from my previous entries and video, no I am not a druggy, I just got my wisdom teeth taken out and have to take a LOT of drugs. This is rather unusual for me, because I am one of those people who won’t even take Advil or Tylenol. I have always been a person that hates going to the doctor and hates taking drugs. But…I’m sure the lack of pain I have had attributes to those drugs, so I wil continue my duties to my mouth, and continue with the drugs. :D

Since, I have never really taken any supplements whatsoever besides some protein, and multi-vitamins, I am now going to ask your alls opinions on what you have taken that has helped. I want something that will help me lean out, cut the fat, give me energy in the gym on a low carb diet,  and maybe any other pills or vitamins that you have noticed that really help with your cutting. Any suggestions really, I don’t mind doing the research.

Here is what I have found, that I think I may try so far…

Guess the shape of my Jell-O Jigglers?!?!

September 1, 2009

jell-o jigglers!!!!

So this is a bit ridiculous, I know. But I’M a bit ridiculous, so it’s okay. I got my wisdom teeth taken out this morning and have been sleeping all day, and have not been able to eat much. But I decided to make some Jell-O Jigglers, and I got a wee bit creative with them, haha. Let’s see if you all can guess what they are…

P.S.- check out my newest video, haha. It is also ridiculous…my cheeks are HUGE!!!!

The New Workout Plan

August 31, 2009

Okay, so tomorrow morning I get to have the great pleasure of having four of my wisdom teeth taken out. I know, I know, soooo excited. :/  Well, I have to get it done before the end of the year, but I’m also planning on competing in two shows so I had to get it done ASAP. As soon as I am recovered, which will hopefully be no longer than 3 days, training starts for the competitions. It’s washboard season again! Also, no yummy carbs, frappucino’s, and pizza season. Time for me to lean out again, and define. CUT, CUT, CUT! I have also come up with a new workout plan that I think will be perfect for me. It is a little strange, but its what I think will work best for me.

Monday: CARDIO (1 hour), ABS (heavy)

Tuesday: LEGS, CARDIO (45 min.), ABS (light)

Wednesday: CHEST/BACK, CARDIO (30min.), ABS (heavy)

Thursday: BICEP/SHOULDER, CARDIO (45min), ABS (light)

Friday: LEGS, CARDIO (45min), ABS (light)

Saturday: TRICEP/FOREARM, CARDIO (30min), ABS (heavy)

Sunday: REST!!!!

*Log an additional 15 miles a week of runnning, and stretch every morning to stay limber

*Cardio is to be done on a machine at a high level

Did everyone happen to notice the high amounts of cardio?! Sheesh, what am I thinking. This is going to be intense. But, if you plan on competing in the bikini division, you best bet your going to have a lot of cardio in your workout plan. I have bulked up enough, and it won’t hurt me to lose a little muscle in this process, so I decided to keep my cardio VERY high. The  first competition is October 24th, so that gives me about 6 weeks to lean out, which is sufficient.  The second is November 14th, which gives me about a day to pig out and then back to the preperation and diet for that competition. I’m ready to do this. But first gotta get these damn teeth out of the way. I’m kind of excited to see myself drugged up though, haha. I have never been drugged before in my life.

I will also try to keep my progress pictures updated weekly and blog about my journey, I have been pretty bad about that lately. But I need to go get my last meal here pretty soon, so peace!

Hurts So Good!

August 22, 2009

Here’s my day in a nut shell. Gym, chiropractor/masseuse, and then out to eat with my Papa.
I know, really cool right…Friday night and I’m out to din-din with the old man and come home to write about it. It’s whatever.
After the day came to an end, well more like 9pm at Bar Louie in mid meal, I come to the realization that I have put myself through pain all day and enjoyed it thoroughly. Sounds strange, but let me explain myself a little more.
At Bar Louie, I got the Bangkok Stir-fry, which has schezwan sauce in it. If you don’t know what that is or have never had it…BEWARE. I was crying and my nose was running after the fourth bite. Yet, it was so good, I kept feeding myself this painful delicious meal. The flavors were wonderful, and everything was cooked to perfection, it just had this after kick that was honest to God unbearable. I could literally not feel my lips and just kept eating my Dad’s fries to keep my mouth from exploding.
Backing up to the chiropractor/masseuse. I have always had a bad back and have been having this really sharp sharp pain in my shoulder, so I decided to go get adjusted and massaged. The adjustment was first. If you listened from outside the door, you would’ve thought that someone was eating Rice Krispies with a microphone next to it. My entire body was snap, crackle, and popping. It was…interesting. But when it was all said and done, I was probably a half inch taller and felt much better. The actual process of it was rather painful though. As for the massage, I was expecting pain. She actually asked me how hard or soft I would like it. My exact words, "I’m not afraid to cry." So, Marissa went at it. She was totally raping my back with all she had, and yes, I was in tears. But in the end, I still loved every bit of the back raping.
Gym. Yep, that pain is in the gym too. I am a fitness/gym freak, so this pain is there for me at least. It’s that pain you get at the end of a set or at the end of a workout. That burn. The last push on bench where you give it your all, or that curl that makes you not want to wash your hair the next morning. It called a burn out. You basically are purposely trying to fry a certain muscle group on your body so that it BURNS. If done correctly, you will certainly feel the burn, not just then, but for at least two days after wards. But, for some reason…I love it, and I keep going back for more. Week after week. And I love that it HURTS SO GOOD!
I think the best things in life hurt so good when you really think about it. Like watching others embarrassing painful moments. It hurts to watch it, but you just have to watch, you have to see them go through that (America’s Funniest Home Videos, Jackass, Punk’d). Like buying that really expensive unnecessary thing you want. It totally hurts to see the price come up on the register, knowing the hole its burning through your pocket. It’s bittersweet though, because now its yours. Like sex. I’ll leave that one at that. :)

This is upon request of a couple people. A typical day of meals/snacks

June 2, 2009

Breakfast: 4/5 scrambled egg whites, half of a banana, and coffee (150-200 calories)

Snack: Small protein bar (150-200 calories)

Lunch: Tuna Packet with a large sliced tomato and whole wheat crackers (250 calories)

Snack: Sugar-free jello w/ light whip cream :) , and the other half of banana (75 calories)

Dinner: 8 oz. Chicken breast, medium sweet potato, and a vegetable (400 calories)

Snack: Weight watcher fudge bar! (110 calories)

~Obviously I don’t eat this exact same thing every day, but you get the overall gist of it. And I also have foods I eat that I dont keep track of, like pickles, cucumbers, more sugar free jello, carrots, etc.

What a way to start the summer, haha.

June 1, 2009

Hello all! I haven’t written on this thing in a while. And quite honestly I have missed it :) . I love writing and getting my thoughts out on pap…screen, haha.

But, today hasn’t been so hot to start out with. It will be funny in another year or two but right now, I just feel like a dumb shit. I did the infamous…hit a parked car. You really feel stupid doing it to. The police come and they’re like "So what happened here?", acting like they are so important (I hate cops if you can’t tell already). And I get to sound like an idiot and say…"Well I hit the car." With no one in it, it wasn’t in motion, it was just sitting there…still as can be. Nope, it didn’t come out and try scarring me…It was just sitting there. And then they just have the dumb smirk… that says ‘what a dumb shit, who does that?’ And I get to sit there feeling like that dumb shit and have my insurance taken down and probably a huge ass cost for something so minuscule. But that was my morning, hitting a parked car. Makes you feel like a million bucks, I’m telling you what. Try it some time… :D

Anyways, I’ll get to some positives. I have started training girls and I absolutely love it. They are all seeing improvements and they all are so much happier about their lives and their selves, which was my goal. I absolutely love doing it, and I know for a fact now that it’s what I’m meant to be doing. I am also going to do a bikini competition in July. It’s in Pittsburgh, and I am very excited about that as well, I have to kick up my training and diet hard again, but I’m really excited about going. The bikini is a new competition that the NPC has added and they are still in the perfecting stages of it, so there really is no certain look as of right now. I get to be creative with my suit, heels, and over all figure. So I won’t have to stress over so much like a figure or fitness competitior. Its good to start of with a competition like this I figured (no pun intended).

I need to get off here and start making my day a bit better though, haha. Gotta hit the gym and try not hitting anymore parked cars ^_^

“Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart…

May 16, 2009

Yes, it is a very late Saturday night/very early Sunday morning…and I decided to write a blog. I’m in a writing kind of mood, and I feel like I have something good to share. No, it isn’t necessarily about getting in bangin’ shape or strictly about fitness. It’s just some life advice I’ve learned and found, and thought I’d share.

There is a website I highly enjoy, called postsecret.com. If you look at my videos, I posted one and it explains the site somewhat. The site is this nice little community of people who have trust and support in each other, even though they have no idea who each other are. They put their deepest darkest secrets on post cards and send them to this man named Frank Warren. Anyone can do it. Frank receives hundreds of thousands of secrets each week and every Sunday night at 12am he puts a select few on the website. These secrets are anonymous, so you don’t know who sent them. Some will make you cry, some will make you laugh, others will anger you, some will even touch you on a level where you feel like you are with that person in the same boat. You hurt for these people, and you don’t even know them.  It is strange, but so powerful at the same time.

There is a quote that Frank said, and it is one of my favorite quotes of all time.

"Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart. If we could just remember this, I think there would be a lot more compassion and tolerance in the world."

It dawned on me when I read this how truly rude I have been my entire life. There are and were so many instances where I should have been nicer to someone, and should have been in a more pleasant mood. Even if it is just to your waiter/waitress, your barrista when you are getting your morning coffee, or your mail man,  even that chum in the drive thru (even though us fitness people shouldn’t be going through drive thru’s, haha). You have no idea what they go through on a day to day basis. Like Frank said, every single person has a secret that would break your heart. And it is true, if everyone stopped and realized this every morning they woke up, the world would be a lot better off. We would have a lot less self-centered individuals and a lot more kindness and happiness going around. People have so much self-pity it kills me. Even when you feel like things couldn’t get any worse, I can rest assure you that someone you came in contact in the last 24 hours has, or is going through something worse than you. So just try to be as pleasant as you possibly can in your every day walk of life, even if you have no idea who the person is or what their story is, your kindness will go a long way.

Woman are so much easier to train. Guys heads are too big… sheesh

May 13, 2009

I recently just started training people on my own. Mainly people that have come to me and asked me for help. I absolutely love it. There is not a better job, and I love how gratifying it is for me that I get to help people out with my love and knowledge of fitness.

Now, let me start off by saying I have nothing against men, I think guys are great. And this doesn’t apply to all males in the gym….just most of them. I really don’t like training guys, at all. There are a couple of reasons why, but it usually boils down to…their heads are just too big. I’ll just make a little number list as to why.

1. They feel like they have to impress me and everyone else in the gym, so they try using too much weight and their form ends up being terrifying. I am much more impressed by someone that has perfect form. I actually never look at how much weight someone is using. As long as you are doing enough to get that burn at the end of each set, you are using enough weight. Stop playing the damn numbers game!

2. Men sometimes feel like they shouldn’t be doing the ‘little’ exercises and all they want to do are the two B’s…BENCH AND BICEPS. Sorry guys, if you want an overall fit figure, you are going to have to work out your entire body properly…even those chicken legs of yours hiding under the baggy sweat pants.

3. They never take the diet seriously. I know men have better metabolisms and don’t have to watch it as close as women, but if you are wanting to bulk up, then you have to listen to me when I say you need more protein everyday. That doesn’t mean go get two double cheeseburgers at McDonald’s now, it means you need to be conscious of getting that lean protein. Drink the shakes, eat the bars, scramble those eggs, dig into that grilled chicken breast. And stop with the beer already.

4. I know I’m a girl, but I have done my research. Yes I am smaller than you, and yes I use less weight than you…but pound for pound I am honestly pretty much even with all the guys in the gym. So yes, I do know what I am talking about. Don’t under estimate me. Big things come in small packages.  Not in your case, sadly, haha.

5. Please only ask for help if it is something you truly want. If you want a date or a number and are going to try to get to me that way…you have already failed. Please be more creative than that. You are wasting my time if it isn’t something you really want. Use your money on an e-harmony account.
Now like I said before, this does not apply to all the males I have helped out. Some guys, are very gentlemen like and really listen and trust me, and I appreciate that. But to all the other guys seeking help that start doing stuff like this, just stop. Bring that ego of yours down a bit, and become a little more level headed.

Oh yeah…girls are awesome to train! They do pretty much everything right that the guys don’t. Good job ladies!
