Long night…kinda sleepy…gonna try to rest at lunch time, quick lunch and gym after work….gonna make it a cardio day…..thats pretty much all that can be done at my gym…..hmmm….maybe I’ll do cycling today…ok so thats the plan…lets get it!

I indulged this weekend, but, not on fatty things. I did really good staying on track. I never went to McDonalds or let a greasy cheesy anything get into my belly. Me and my daughter made the bb1 chicken pizza and it came out DELISH! I was really surprise. Kraft makes a Fat Free Cheddar cheese now so I was really happy to sprinkle that on top of the pizza freely. What made it even better is that the cheese actually melted! I was thrilled. I will buy stock in this cheese…LOL seriously its just that REAL to me! I made the BBQ chick pizza on Friday, saturday night a chicken pasta casserole with light garlic bread and last night we had low fat Gorditas, beans, and a salad, waldorf salad with an asian balsamic dressing. I love to cook so every night I’m really getting creative with the uses for the things in my fridge. Onions, Cilantro, apples, etc. The gordita shells would be really nice for making flat breads too, I’m thinking of using the chicken that I have and carmelizing some onions usiing a nonstick cooking spray, garlic, etc. and Making a garlicky oniony flatbread with chicken and light povolone cheese. Should be really tasty….or maybe I’ll do a Chicken club sandwich. I have upgraded to chicken breast so….I can bread the chicken breast, using shake n bake or bread them myself after butterflying. Lite mayo mixed with a little sugar and pepper, half slice of povolone, lettuce tomato and a couple strips of low sodium bacon….We gotta make this diet thing fun….I’m not quite ready to eat 100% clean, but, since I’m working out and pounds are dropping I’m gonna hang out with this method for now.

Clean eating will start when this type of eating starts to plateau…

This time I’m taking my dieting and workout a day at a time, Im not looking at the future etc. yet. I’m not putting a lot of pressure on myself, I’m just marching through each day and planning and sticking to my diet and….my budget because buying lunch is expensive! LOL Today I had 2 skinless chicken thighs and brocolli, although the thighs were slightly oily, they still hit the spot and they hit the wallet spot too, since breasts were like 3/bucks a pound…these make great shiskabobs also, just marinate them in some pineapple juice, brown sugar a little bit, VERY little, adobo, herbs, anything you want, pineapple teriyaki works great.

 I make all my favorite foods but just more or less in a way that I can eat and not feel bad about. Tomorrow I’m thinking me and my daughter will make bbq chicken pizza out of the thighs I have left….should be interesting to make….and it gives me and my daughter a chance to cook together. The dough will be Pillsbury Pizza Crust…Boboli whole wheat works well also. This is not "Exactly" Clean eating, but, I will be eating clean all day tomorrow, so for dinner I’ll splurge provided I workout….

 Ok so about this dance…

 I have been practicing Detroit Hip Rolling, you can see all kinds of vids on hip rolling on youtube.com. This is not an easy dance for me and is great fun learning to do this. I can’t roll my stomach yet but Im working on learning that. Other than that, this can be slowed down and made sooooo sexy and spicy for your romantic relationship. I’m gonna start a pole dancing class, so this is going to be something that I’d like to incorporate into the pole dancing! FUN FUN FUN…I love it when working out does not seem like working out!

Today I have decided to take a 90 day challenge. 90 days of pure clean eating 5-6 day weekly workouts and no binge-ing. Even with the holidays coming I will still be in control of my eating. No more out of control eating, I want to see if I can really do this, if I really have the dedication and determination within myself. I know that I do, but, now is the time to really focus and show y’all that I can do this.

This is my own saying…you don’t like walkin in the rain, but ya do it anyways! Even if you don’t have to do it, still do it! For example working out.

Tonights Routine…

Cardio at the gym…bout half hour on tread another hour on elliptical and tonight…150 squats and lunges 200 crunches @ home.

The bikini is mines!!!!!

U know this is great….I have so many things inspiring me right now, including my grandfather who told me that I was getting fat again,  GOD REST HIS SOUL! Love that man for his honesty, I miss him. I’m doing it for him, for me, for life.

"DO IT AFRAID" this is a quote that I stole from my friend and what it means is that you have to do it….EVEN WHEN YOU ARE AFRAID TO DO IT, STILL DO IT! WITH ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH. I love this quote, the same as from Apocalypto Jaguar Paw’s fear quote…."FEAR IS A DISEASE. STRIKE IT FROM YOUR HEART." The correlation of fear and working out to me is the fear of pain and the fear of failure……failure is not an option.

I’m sore as shit today……….oh well….this is just the third damn day…it will be harsher….

What’s the problem? Why am I an extremist because I don’t wanna party, I’d rather workout and chill at the house! I mean I’m just not trying to do that right now! I’m like telling my friends to fall off because they are harassing me about all of these parties and upcoming events, I’m like dewwwddddd……knock it off! I just really want to focus on my grind and I don’t wanna wait until New Years to make the changes.

Now I realize that I have been working towards getting a SeX-C body for years now. Too Long. I get a pace goin, then I fall off….not good….I know now….I see now…..other people don’t see it the way I do, family memebers, friends, nobody else could ever understand my desire to obtain this body that I know that I have under these layers, so, I know that I will have to do this on my own. I will not have any support from anyone else. I am coming up on another Thanksgiving and I’m still not where I wanted to be. Why? Because I’m lacking discipline. I have been drinking, and smoking….not good. My lungs feel like shit! Could hardly take deep breaths. So I will let the people that do that shit do that, that shit ain’t for me. All these people that don’t work out and eat all crazy and drink and smoke, they can do that shit….that shit ain’t for me! I have to get my life in order, and with God’s help, I will! My main focus is school, work, and my health. Gotta keep my health in order. This shit ain’t no joke. I’m 24 years old, God willing I have my whole life ahead of me, I have to stay active and I will…so again…I become focused. Can’t say that I will never party again, or drink again, but uhhh….I know that I’m focusing. I begin my focus tomorrow, already kinda screwed myself today. I will still workout! I am going to workout 5days/week at least. Thats the story, thats the routine. I know that I can do this and I need to stop binge-ing and just do it! I’m totally being a pussy right now.

So after the 4th I made a commitment. Not to myself cuz that wasn’t workin, but to the Great One. God. THE ULTIMATE ONE, the MAN! I told him that I had the strength and that I had more strength and will thru him. So I made a promise to him of eating clean and working hard. That is what I am doin. So far so good. This is day # 3. Protein pancakes pre-workout was great although I cant seem to push thru this oatmeal w/ protein powder. YUCK LOL. I wanted to make today a resistance day but unfortunately because I took a fat burner I was wired by the time I hit the gym and had to do some running. Ran 3 miles and hiked up a few flights of stairs and felt a lil better afterwards. I know that I can do this. My stomach is looking so good already. LOL I notice my results quickly  its all motivation. Alternate motivations sources. THIS BIG ASS PHOENIX that I will get tattooed on my back soon, I want it to extend to my side too. I’m so exctied. Gotta put up some new pics. I need this month to focus, getting a new IPHONE in a few weeks will post some pics with it.

I finally made some. Followed Ava Cowan’s recipe + a half scoop of protein powder…..the verdict…..

Not bad….actually better than what I expected and cooks up quick! Unfortunately….I didn’t have any freakin sugar free syrup so I just used the regular stuff. I have a mostly cardio session tonight at the gym anyhow. Gonna be there doing cardio for pretty much an hour. Then a little leg and ab focus. Thats tha plan….But yea try those pancakes they are fab. BSN cinnamon roll protein powder would be a PERFECT mix in for them too!
