Crystal’s Rants

About to leave to kick off the day with good ole cardio, it is a necessary evil but it is a must do.  It is amazing how we punish ourselves for a goal but I keep reminding myself how worth it it will be when I am finished with this crazy journey!  Until then I will trudge in the mornings to the gym, like 10 minutes up the road and put on the ipod and just about kill myself every morning with cardio until I am blue, rather, red in the face.

My question is, why couldn’t they have made cardio a little more fun…. maybe something a little more appealing than just running in one place while at the gym….or brighter colors or something!!

In January I kicked off a new goal with the challenge.  I really wanted to see if I could push myself to my final destination of making that bikini I had always wanted to by summer.  The challenge ran side by side with the goal I had set so it seemed like a logical fit.

Now February I am not seeing the scale move, but I am toning up quite a bit already.  I came to an understanding several months ago that as long as I am seeing the results I have been hoping to achieve the scale is just a number!

 My ability to lift has increased and it seems like I am stronger and stronger with every workout.  On top of that I finally have my diet in control so I know that will pay off large dividends in itself.

I hope to be able to start seeing more tone in my midsection soon and have intensified my cardio after taking it back a couple notches over December and January.  Now I am doing about an hour of cardio a day in the morning and trying to double up at least a couple times a week just to keep my system guessing.

it took forever for them to get "the boss" but I would have just assumed they would have gone with another option…. While I am sure lots of people enjoyed it the pg selection of it all just wasn’t great for the younger than 30 crowd like myself…
While I do appreciate it not being strung out entertainment like the stones of years past there has to be some common ground between flashing boobs like janet and what we saw tonight…. Bring back multi artist entertainment for all ages
