Hard Work = Success

What’s your secret to destoying the fat off of lower abs.? Please reply. Thank you.

Yeah that is what I say..I need to surround myself with fitness minded friends. It’s difficult to find someone to go out to the gym with or even go for runs. So far everyone I know can’t keep up or I can’t keep up with them. So in the end I’m by myself in this fitness journey going on two years. I have lost and gained muscle but my abs are layered with this stubborn fat that can’t melt away.  If you are a reader of my blogs you will see I go on, and on about my fustrations and it seems I don’t keep moving forward. But anyway a lot of thes blogs are for my usage. I go back and read and think why did I say that. I am so insane!! lol~ and you will notice I don’t stick to the subject! HAHAHA~

Ok…..I’ll see if my daughter wants to hit the trails. AH! it’s a very cold day but a perfect day for a jog   

I stumbled across a photo of me when I was 20 with two little ones and I must have weighed 90 pounds! OMG!! I gotta scan this pic! I’m so freakin skinny!  SHEESH!Hmm..probably no fat on my bones! (kinda yucky)

Back in the day you would find me out at the track & people would get so critical. "Why are you doing this?" "Ya too skinny!" My reply, " Well cuz I want to stay fit and trim." AH! HA! Hmm…how time flies…..

And I also noticed at other pics I took in the mid of Aug of 08…at those times I really did not follow a diet nor a set training routine but I was trimming down fairly fast. So I’m thinking I should just go back to how I use to train and not have  set routines. I would go out and do a full body work out at least 3 times a week.  And of course I’ll try my best to eat sensibly. SO in the long run I will do whatever works for me and not be so obssessed.   

Yeah that’s right! I’m not doing what I should and it’s very disappointing. I go through spurts. Two weeks I’ll stick to my diet and I go insane  because I’m starving and I think what the heck am I doing???? Starving for what?? I’m not dieting to enter a comp or photoshoot. I just want some killer abs!!!  Then I train non stop and see results coming my way  I FEEL AWESOME!!! & then I think…where’s the camera so I can take a pic because I know this is not going to last! Then all of sudden…..I give in to the YUMMY delicious food I need to stay away from….then it’s  back to the pudgy stomach…then I get depressed….this is a the graphic part…then I feel like cutting out that fat on my own … yep.. Is this mentally healthy for me??? NOt sure???

This week has been very busy for me. I had to take two kids to the emergency room and then follow up with the doctor. THank God they are doing both well.

Work has been over the top. I am currently working on a 30 minute presentation. I actually can’t wait to get this done and over with. LOL.  This is going to be my first presentation ever in my career. Wish me luck! I need it.

Now I normally don’t mention anything too personal but in this case I hope to bring God back into my life. I need to become a stronger person. Eventually God will lead me to the right path. ~sigh~

AH! My Fitness… My workouts haven’t been the strongest nor have I had the opportunity to focus but it doesn’t mean my journey has ended.  Eventually I hope to get the following on track…family, work, & my sanity. lol!!! Man I have a headache! lol

To my friends: I LOVE YA! I AM HERE FOR YOU ALWAYS!!!! Besos Y Abrazos.

KEEP YOUR MOTIVATION LEVEL HIGH!

I have to say I’m very happy where I’m at now and I know it can get better. I continue to keep focused on my goals and I try not to feel down about it.  I’m thankful for meeting great people who motivate me to do my best. I’m flattered by those who think I inspire them; in fact you inspire me! I am also proud of my kids who inspire me daily.

For all the moms keep working it, it will happen.

I will try my best to train daily. My abs I will train 3 times a week. Cardio I will do on a daily basis.

I was able to workout during lunch hour…of course I did legs and arms. After work I did 30 min. of cardio.    Now at home I’m working the abs.

I had a very rough day at work..not really going to get into it but let’s just say it’s wasn’t a good day.  The only good thing was getting a work out in and I hiope I see better results within a few months. Let’s hope so.

Ok…I’m truthfully not your typical momma of six or grannie really.. hehe! I plan to keep a video blog soon. (when ever I have the opp to get good quality vid stuff)  I’m much more of a verbal kind of person than a writer. lol.  Anyway this weekend has been an eye opener for me.  For those who actually read my blogs I go through up and downs with motivation. Yesterday I had a wonderful day spent with the family..the morning started off to be a good one. As some of you know… I plan to become a police officer. ( a childhood dream). YEah I seem soft spoken and sweet, which I can be but I also have a tough interior which can sometimes escape. hehe.  well anyway… I went grocery shopping and the chief of police almost ran me over with his grocery cart!. lol. He asked if I had placed my application in and I said, heck yes, I’m waiting for you guys to give me a call. He said they plan to call me at the end of the year. So… I have time to prepare myself for the physical test. He said you know…if you pass these tests. I’m going to hire you right away, you know that?? I said I know~~~!!! I am SUPER EXCITED!!!!!  With this I am SO motivated to train daily and I want to keep reaching for the dream body. This training is not all about the physical appearance but I want to make sure I am solid for this fantastic career!  

Now my worst critics are my parents.. I have to give them some props, they are another reason I’m at this fitness journey. many days of them telling me how fat I am.

I took my mom to the gym to show her how hard I train. She was pretty impressed and floored how strong my legs were. I told her the next thing to get solid were my abs. I will be so happy when I can get these darn abs to look decent.

I know this whole thing takes time and I will try my best to keep patient it’s all I can do for now. THanks so much for everyone that had left comments from my previous blogs. It means a lot.

I am happy and determined!! Now I need to keep this positive mentality.

I’m so done being obssessed about being skinny. I haven’t given up but I’m not making myself sick about wanting to lose 20 pounds! 

I found this link. Very impressive. Moms  can still look amazing. It takes time and dedication.
