Hard Work = Success

Truthfully those words describe my days. I’m a momma, wife, and full time worker, Monday-Friday 8-5. Plus the needs of the household and family. It feels like a never ending story. But it must be done or otherwise it wouldn’t be.

Thank goodness for fitness in my life because I would go insane. I will never let go that part of my life. It’s the time I seek for peace is how I describe those moments of sweat & pain. The more I sweat & hurt the better the peace.

I have to be true to myself….Saturday I stepped on the evil scale again..I know I haven’t learned to stay away. That thing said I gained 2 pounds!!!! what the!!!! So I checked my fat percentage again…….. it went up???!!!! Ok now I haven’t been eating like I use..I continue to work out….. this doesn’t make ANY sense.

I remember when I wasn’t so focused on what I ate. I ate what ever, and whenever, but still exercised…and it seemed I was losing weight no problem.

Should I continue to focus on my eating habits or should I go back to eating normal??

I know my focus are my abs that is why I’ve changed my diet. OMG!! I wish was 115 pounds..but it doesn’t look that will happen. ~sigh~~

Wow! I noticed my arms, shoulders, legs are THIN!! Well thin compared to what they looked like before. OMG! If only I had some pics of that, well I do but with all the clothes on. lol!

As mentioned many times the abs are still an issue, but I continue to work on those for sure. No looking back now. I would like to say THANK YOU for those who have left awesome comments on my profile, it means a lot.  I’m glad I found this site, I don’t think I would be working so hard…..well maybe I would. lol

Today I woke up cleaned the house, did breakfast. Of course had to log on to bodyspace to see what’s up with you all.

Then I thought I should leave and do some strength training, lifting, cardio. leg and ab work all in one morning. Was successful at that. I also bought myself a Curves protein shake specially designed for women. Yeah I know I said I would make my own..but I bought the stuff too. Going to try & see if tastes good. I bought chocolate of course.

Now. I’m still depressed about my belly. So I did some reasearch and for two weeks I’m going to try a routine that will focus on my belly. I will also find out how many calories I should  intake a day according to my current weight & fat percentage. I hope to start a strict diet on Monday,, yeah Monday..

I’m going to use a stability ball for my ab workouts. 5 Belly workout routines; reverse crunch, rock and roll, ball curl, Skier, and Pike.

The following is the routine I will follow for 2 weeks along with a good diet.

You say how am I going to have time???? I’m gong to tough it out and find the time. Just call me superwoman.  hahahaha.

Wish me luck.

I need to try eat the right stuff..it’s difficult to do. I dont’ seem to have the will power. Well I have stayed away from the sweet junk food it’s those chips I’m having a hard time with.

Well I am going to start making my own protein shakes. The only problem is.. I’m kind of scared to drink raw eggs. Someone at work told me to get this particular brand of eggs. I’m going to try it.  Tommorrow I’m going to buy fresh honey YUM!

Well I wrote out some recipes for protein shakes for me to keep on.

Ok after chatting with a lovely lady on here, (you know who you are

I’ve decided to move on to search & invest on better training. I think my body has accustomed to the norm. I know I can feel and look so much better if I gave myself a little kick further. My goal is just to look fab for myself.  Also, I think I have mentioned about different training in the past but I never followed through….this time all this will change. (BTW my leg doesn’t hurt anymore! YAY. it’s a dang miracle!!!  LOL!)

Well let’s turn the subject around a bit…..

Today was ok.. except for a coworker’s power trip, yep your usual office drama, which happens almost everyday. EXCEPT today I was a sweet person. I did not yell back. YAY! 

I got a work out afterwork at Curves,,,oh yeah~ 3 times around the dang circuit. AND whenever I log off from bodyspace… I will work on my abs and arms. I want to get more definition in .

Man! I need to find my cell! I wanted to take some more progress pics today! yep I don’t have any other way of taking pics.. UGH!!

Ok that is enough for now.. I love my avid readers.. thanks! Now Get Busy!!!

oh my goodness! Since I’ve been promoting some great progress pics, the pressure is on!!  I need to work a tad bit harder. lol. I’m loving my arms & legs, and for some reason I’m growing breasts!!! lOL!!! haha!! must be those underlying muscles. LMAO!!

Now some work on those abs….those fab. abs, how in the heck am I going to deliver that! I must be insane…but I am so ready for that challenge!!  

It’s been awhile..but I remember someone asked me, “Why do you want to change?” “When you have kids it’s expected not to have the same figure as you once had before.”  “You need to face it and accept how you look…your a mom now.”  ”Your tummy is what reminds you of having kids”…

I say. “WHAT?!” “No way!”

Well for those who keep updated with me. lol.. remember my injury from..oh gosh. I don’t remember when. It still bothers me!       I have a pain in my inner thigh, it bothers me when I walk and I have made the big mistake of toughing it out when I do my cardio or strength training.. UGH!! Time to go to the doctor or where ever! Man!

Yesterday I read through articles & proflies and I came across a one.sheesh I forgot who it was (I should have responded directly) but I know they posted something about being creeped out about older women who are grandmas with dozen of  kids posting sexy pics. HAHA!

Well isn’t bodyspace all about posting pics of your body and no age limits??

This person was young and probably had a mom that was my age….so  I guess I could understand his point of you..but if you are proud of who you are ..show it off.
