Hard Work = Success

Just got back from burning 300 calories. I’m not sure but today I felt so tired and I skipped weight lifting. I’ve also decided  I am going to do 30 minutes of cardio for 2 weeks, hopefully daily. And I’m going to stay away from lifting and taking my protein shakes. I hope I can lose 10 pounds at least.  I want to see what happens and if I can lose the weight. Not sure if this is a good idea..but I’m going to try and see. anyway today was a great day..I got my boss to think healthy and she also plans on losing 10 pounds. I would prefer to lose 20 but she says that there would be nothing left of me! haha!  oh! I remember the days when my weight would easily melt away…now I have to work at! 

Oh wow! I am so lucky to have a 4 day weekend! Now I’m going to get things done at home and as well at the gym! Started off this moring burning the calories from yesterday. (I did pretty well with my food intake, thank goodness.)  Burned 300 on the eliptical. I should have spent more time..but I thought 2 miles was ok. I was dripping sweat So..I did my job. I also was able to get crunches in. I plan to keep consistent on my abs since it’s my trouble spot.

I hope to post some visible changes in 2010…..I don’t really see any changes quite yet to be proud of……I want to see ab muscles….hopefully by the time I reach 40. 40 years, 6 babies..ab muscles will be a miracle.

I don’t want to be the "hot momma"…I want to be the healthiest and fit momma.

I train & eat well because I want to be in great health.  I believe when I take care of myself it gives me the ultimate strength to take care of my family.

I want to inspire others to take the time for yourself..indulge life to the fullest…empower your mind to make healthy choices….:D

I am currently taking HyperDrive for my fat burning supplement… so far so good. I know I have lost some bodyfat although I havent’ checked it for sure..but I can certainly feel the loss around my waist. My legs are awesome! lol. I wish everything else can keep up for sure. Well once I’m done with Hydperdrive I’m going to take Gaspari Nutrition Mitotropin. I’m very excited about taking this because it’s suppose to be a great fat burning supplement.  

Recently I encountered some back pain so I had to skip a few trainings but finally got back into my training full force. I’m going to start using the stairmaster at the gym..I was told it would be a great fat burning machine. We will see.

I am proud to say I’ve been training daily. I can see results and I am much more motivated to keep working harder because I know I have potential. The abs have certainly been the most difficult part to get toned. Of course the fact of giving birth to six makes it much more difficult. All the layers of fat and extra skin. YUCK!!! BUT it’s possible to look fit. I’m not going to ruin it for sure, I’ve come a long way to go back.

My nutrition has been great! Eating the right portions and foods. Trying my best to stay away from anything sweet. I love chicken so that is whats helping me stick to my diet plan. I basically eat things I enjoy but not overdulging like I use to. YEAH eating like a bodybuilder!! lol!

Training has been awesome by eating right I’ve had the energy to keep things consistent.  I am working on my upper body..i’m gaining muscle but I hope to get toned with my ritual 30 minutes of cardio or if I feel like pushing further I’ll do an hour of it.  My mind has finally been able to concentrate on the muscles of my abs. If I close my eyes I can feel the muscles contracting with every force. I hope these muscles can been seen soon. YEah, I’m enjoying life now, it only gets better in time.

oh my goodness! I am so tired! I am not sure if I’m overdoing it but I need to! If I don’t  I will get no where, not where I would like to be.  Today at work I’ve gotten so many compliments about how young I look and have been asked what is my secret to keeping youthful. For some reason I always get asked how old I am when I mention I have six kids. yeah I know. I think I  just like the attention. lol. for some reason having six kids comes up in conversation. LOL~ ANyway..I have to say I have been blessed with having fitness friends to lead me to a healthy life. A special thanks goes out to Dave Vignasse.  He has certainly helped a great deal. Now I’m keeping it consistent with his diet and I will try to keep it this way.   I also think all the compliments I’ve been getting and the motivation I get from my new boss is AWESOME and has helped me to push myself further to getting closer to my goal! She knows how important this fitness stuff is for me that she asks every morning, "Did you get your workout in last night?"

Again I feel so blessed and feel amazing!

I have to say I get the best cardio workout using this beautiful machine. I hope by December I can decrease my bodyfat and I feel confident that I will.  Found this routine and I think I will try it. I have to do my cardio on a daily basis this is the only way I can get to where I want to be. I am making it happen and it will happen.

Do good things and good things come your way. Yep. Time to be good now!!! I had a very good week and weekend. Enjoying life, family. I have been training to where I feel sweaty and pain. YEP!! I’m so happy about going back to using the eliptical machine for my cardio workouts. This machine is my weapon of choice. You can literally feel the fat come right off the bones!!  I can also feel where I need to burn the fat off my abs too! I’m doing very GOOD QUALITY EXERCISES.  My upper abs are rocking BUT the liower abs still need drastic work. I hope it can happen. I’ve been patient as can be. but you know I’m at the point things are good. I hope I can keep consistent so I can see better results.

ooh wow! what a change! My new job is going well..in fact my boss wants to know my secret to losing weight and looking toned. what a freaking change! My other jobs people tried to fatten me up!!!!! lol.  Life is great and I hope I can make a change and as well as help others too.       Ok let’s get busy and continue to make our bodies look insane!!!  We can do it!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. I saw this on a poster while I was looking for work. IT made so much sense! I  lost a great job last Friday! I won’t go into detail but I was pretty bummed out! I seriously wanted to crawl under a rock and never come out! BUT I thought this is ridiculous. I need to get out of this funk and move on! Thank goodness! I applied for a job on Monday. Handed the application and resume. Yesterday got called in for an interview and was offered the postion today!!! Now it’s not the greatest paying job but I had to take it. I live in a very small town and jobs are scarce…omg..now I can freaking breathe!!!!!!
