It’s been a while since i posted, i get lazy sometimes but today am in the mood to express things that are goin on in my life. So im training really hard, eating very clean. I wake up every morning at 5:30 am to run and weight lift, and I think this is the most intense i have ever been. The only thing is, it seems that its taking FOREVER for me to see any sort of change, the booty is smaller but still here! i know i know i have to be patient! but it gets hard sometimes, especially when it comes to food. It seems like I am constantly saying NO THANKS to people for cake, pizza even fruit sometimes!

I am proud of myself for having strong willpower and just saying no, I am proud of myself for not drinking or smoking, I am proud of myself for waking up every morning to workout, I am proud of myself for making myself healthy lunches to keep me in check. And finally I am proud of myself for allowing 1 cheat meal a week and not feeling guilty about it

So i just got to jamaica yesterday, and no not for vacation! im actually here on a business trip! I thought it would be hard for me to stay on track, but the hotel has all kinds of healthy options for food and an AMAZING gym, i went yesterday and this morning, so im pretty happy. I also checked my BF and im down!! im so happy im starting to see results from all the hard work! its a good feeling! The hard part is not drinking! but i allow myself one drink a night so i dont seem like a total party pooper. lol. Hopefully the sweet table wont start calling my name!

Hey, im not sure who really reads this, but it certainly helps me vent! so the past 2 days my training has been really good, i did a very intense leg workout 2 days ago and i seriously cant walk! yesterday i did back shoulders and biceps, im kind of annoyed cause when i work out i see the pump then right after i look soft again! what am i doing wrong? a personal trainer at my gym did tell me i look leaner. I checked my BF this morning and its down 0.8% , my jeans are also loose. So i guess i must be doing something right. So ive been getting msgs saying i should compete, that i should just do it. The thing is, i have big hips, so i dont think i could ever look like a Ms Olympia, just cause of my genetics, these factors are kind of discouraging…. anyways im still thinking about it. Maybe if i find a good fitness coach i could get motivated. Does anyone know a good one?

Since im about 17 ive been a serious weight lifter. However diet and food has always been an issue for me, i just love to eat! I also come from a family that doesnt really exercise and has tendencies to stuff themselves on a regular basis, suprisingly no one is fat, but not really fit. So I kind of branched out and became very into fitness. I even got a certificate in personal training so that i could help others achieve their goals. I also taught spinning once a week. I was very lean. 7 months ago i moved to New York city, and this move changed things for me, i quickly gained about 10-15lbs because i was pretty much eating everything in sight. The move was hard on me , i ate anxiously and kind of developed a binge eating disorder. So not cool!! anyways i am finally back to normal again, started eating clean about 2 months ago with the occasional cheat. So im almost back to the weight i was when i moved here. Now however im taking things more seriously, Im training hard and being pretty strict on dieting. Im hoping to see results soon, and im even considering entering a fitness competition!! what do you guys think? should i do it? my trouble area is my booty, what can i say i definetly have some junk in the trunk haha and my child bearing hips dont help either…. so im gonna try to post on this blog as much as i can , i think venting and talking about it will help me eventually reach my goal. So my question is: Fitness competition?
