A New And Improved Me - UPDATE

Hey there! It has been so long! I have a facebook page that I constantly update, but I really would love to get back into here, simply because it's where I started. I have made so much progress. I go to the gym 5-6 days a week. I started: eating healthy, lifting weights, doing cardio, swimming in the ocean every weekend and picked up some new hobbies! I have learned weight isnt really as important as I thought. In the beginning I weighed: 185 Now I weigh: 155-60 My waist was about 34 or slightly a bit more My waist now is about 28 or less depending on the brand. I have some biceps, pretty solid triceps, decent shaped shoulders, my butt is getting nice, bigger and rounder, my legs are a lot more toned, and my posture is great! Although, a lot has changed I have made a goal and I feel it is very far from where I am now. I still need to work on many things. I have gotten smaller in the waist, but my belly still exists and is rather round. My butt is nicer, rounder and bigger, but its not as round and as big as I would like them to be. I can flex my biceps and they are get a nice shape but, I still have to grow. My triceps are pretty solid, but I would love for them to pop. My legs are great, but they still rub together a tiny bit and I would love it if they didn't. My back is nice and strong, but I still have a bit of those extra slabs of ... extra.. lol..and thats got to go for sure! I have a long way to go, but I am happy I have come so far and learned SO much! I have received a compliment from a legit body builder, saying if i leaned out I could definitely be a bikini model, so I have had a big boost from that, but I still am not sure I can get there. I am for sure going to try and not stop until I do, but who knows how long that will take! I have picked up a new eating habit. NO more diets! It has to be for life! I will never let myself go back! I eat healthy 6 days a week and have one cheat day with two cheat meals and maybe a few small snacks or a dessert! I will talk more about my diet and those trains of thoughts linked in another post, because there is A LOT to be said about that! I have picked up weights and hobbies! I will also get into detail with those things in another post. I isolate body parts each day and work 5 days a week. If I feel the need to do a day of abs or cardio on the side that is where day 6 comes in! I learned to run on the treadmill 30 minutes no problem! I used to HATE running, but I love it now. I have been a nincompoop about it lately, but have leaned out since I have not been doing it, so I've got some thinking to do about how to handle this and start a new routine. I run to look good, to better my breathing, to better my heart and to be strong, so I for sure wont give it up! I also swim in the ocean for at least and hour. It is an amazing whole body workout/stretch and even though it is tough it is SO relaxing! I also am learning to do the traveling rings! This is so fun and a FANTASTIC workout! I will get into details about that later, but for now feel free to look up some videos on it on youtube! Since I am at the beach I play Frisbee and walk around a lot. I have so much to say and so much to share. I hope more than just posting to myself will come of all my little adventures! I will be posting pictures soon so stay tuned! miss this page! x0x nosnoozieq

Happy New Year!

Hey there. I havent been around, sorry for the delay. Life has been really hectic. My break up, tight with money, the loss of my independent Iphone (600$), the loss of internet at work (my only internet source besides the coffee shop), the laptops L.E.D (screen) going out, getting a new boyfriend (hes simply fantastic - areal sweetie pie-) and now i have returned with the laptop and an Iphone. whoop whoop! So on to the fitness part of my blog!

Trainer 1 and trainer 2 have slowly faded out of the picture. I feel like they stopped taking me seriously. Trainer (my main man) started to drift, cut out early and use his phone entirely too much. It was a great start, and good while it lasted.

Now, I train with my boyfriend. My new BF is a great trainer, so I think. He used to be a really heavy set guy, I am talking 300 pounds! Now, He is 2oo & something, however he's practically all muscle. He does MMA, was a trainer at L.A Fitness and is living the body builder lifestyle. So, with all of that said, you can bet your bottom that I am working out with him!

I go to the gym 5-6 days a week and I am lifting weights, just as he does, but with less weight. We have a cheat day, Monday. Monday is our day off and we don't go too crazy. We have about a meal and a half of what we like, but it certainly is nice.
We, also, dont work out but we go for walks and as soon as summer comes we'll be heading to the beach to play all kinds of summer, beach game fun!

I always say this, but I hope I'll be in shape by then. At the very least a smaller belly! my arms and legs aren't as bad as my tummy and back, but im looking for overall improvement. I am currently teetering at 164-168. I did reach 162 but it didnt stick unfortunately. My BF says it's because I am weight lifting, but I would really love to lose more weight and have muscle, I prefer the lean look.

I really think L.A is cheating though! I am supposed to have until June! However, it is already getting sunny! ah! Well, my BF says I should be getting into shape in two months, We shall see! Two months starts this month!

I am taking plenty of pills to boost metabolism and help me with my over all health:
*B-12: (BOOSTS METABOLISM & GIVES ENERGY)
*FISH OIL: (FOR YOUR HEART, SKIN, NAILS, METABOLISM)
*VITAMIN D: (IT IS FOR HAPPINESS -i never see the sun, and that is exactly how you get vitamin d)
*ZINK: (GOOD FOR SKIN AND IMMUNE AND METABOLISM)
*MACA ROOT: (LABITTO & METABOLISM BOOST)
*GRAPEFRUIT SEED: (METABOLISM BOOST)

I will start taking two other things to boost my metabolism and block fat. I have forgotten the names of them. I will start to take them Tuesday and I will get back to you on the name of those two. All These can be found at the Vitamin Shop.

I will be looking into other things such as collagen and tea tree oil, vitamin e and a couple other products for the skin. After all I want my appearance to be the best I can make it, which is a lot of maintenance for me.

Hey there!
yes! another update!
well.. October is coming up soon and I don't think i can make my goal but thats no reason to get discouraged!
So I am really behind! I did take a lot of time off from the gym last month and it seems ever since I have stopped taking my b-12 and stopped the running going back to the gym has been hard, but the good news is I am so positive. OK so its odd that i get all lazy, but at night when I've been taking my caffeine I've been wishing i was at the gym, so i think i just need to fix my sleepy head time! I also bought my b-12 again.. sheew!
so, i promise i will go to the gym tomorrow!
also my weight!
my weight is 171!
i am happy Ive' lost weight even though i haven't been attending the gym. But i will go! i still have a month and 20 days til Halloween so we will see what i can do!

also, i heard about this diet with a supplement called Sensa. I will be trying that, and I'll keep track of that to see what goes on. I am very interested, because I hear from friends it actually works! pretty cool!
so, I will try that and pick up some grapefruit and juice that!
i have a lot of healthy things to do and I hope you do too!


I will also be updating this blog with things for dietary help. Metabolism boosts, fat burners and recipes or ideas for healthy eating.

46 pounds to lose for Halloween! thats 23 pounds each month. I am not so sure I can make that. But 23 for two months is still cool to me! whatever! ill take what i get and just work harder! no giving up! i may take breaks but noo nooo noooo! no giving up!

update again = 0 )

Hey guys. I am so sorry I have not kept up with my blog. I am still doing pretty well.
I am still going to the gym. I had lost my steam for a bit, but its not what you think. I lost motivation and focus but i went anyways, which made working out painful. But I am getting back on track.

about my goals. they are still the same. However, I have not succeed in achieving them. This is the third month and my goal was to lose 30 pound by the end of the 3rd month. I have only lost 13 over all.

in JULY: i weighed in at 174-172

As of this month I have maintained 174.

I was doing a lot of cardio but I've found a complication to it, and until I can fix that I would like to put that away and work on weight lifting and my abs. I have until the end of the month to lose 19 pounds to catch up but, im not so sure that could happen. I have my eye on my goal (30 total) but I am just going to do my best.

what do you think? how do you guys feel?

Gym Update & Weigh In

The Y is freakin amazing! I have two trainers for free! They are super sweet and there for me as many times a week as I would like! Well, one so far.

Trainer-1 is really cool! This is the first week and so far it is great! Each day is a different part of my body to be worked. We usually do about an hour or an hour and a half and I do the cardio on my own, which is thirty minutes.

The first day was my lower body, including abs and cardio. The second day was my upper body, including abs and cardio. The third day was my back and cardio.

Conclusion: I was so sore yesterday that I could not bend my legs straight to sleep. lol. Today I feel better, but I am still very uncomfortable. I must exercise it out! I will go hiking and do a regular days work out on my own, which is a little bit of everything and cardio.

Trainer-2 is so cool too! He specializes in nutrition, weight loss, endurance and long distance running.
So far hes helped me get started with Trainer-1 and shown me some ways to get the best out of some machines.
On our to do list is a meeting this weekend to talk about the nutrition and weight loss. I am pretty sure it will include a meal schedule, which Trainer-1 will be happy about, because I don't eat enough.


Weigh In: 178

Starting Point: 185
as of LAST Sunday I weighed in at 178.
the week before I weighed in at 174.

I weigh myself everyday I go to the gym, except today. I have been fluctuating between 178-174. I have no idea what is going on with me because I am eating alright. I do get pretty upset to know that I gain weight but, all in good time.

So far, I am still very motivated. So far, I am not having too much trouble eating healthy because I dont want to gain weight, or make it harder on myself. I am going to the gym and staying as active as I can when I am awake and 5 days a week.
I also walk to and from work which is almost 2 miles. So, I hope by October I will be looking good. I know I have a long way to go! wish me luck!

Picture Perfect Goals

Okie dokie Ladies!
Here are some pictures that I think are perfect for describing the type of body I would like to have. I would like to have a wall or at least my fridge covered in pictures of chicks because it is very inspiring. To see some one in good shape, or doing anything, I think why not me? My hands work, my legs work. If they can do it.. so can I! If theres anyone you think is hot let me know!
