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 #2

Gym update!
So, I took 3 days off but I returned today. Today was great! I did my usual routine but I got a nice surprise in the end!
I returned to the gym and I was a bit tired and nervous that I would not be as good as i could be if I never took a day off, but they say it is best to take two days off. I am not so sure about two, but at least one is ok.

To be honest, I am so nervous about the whole thing. When I go, I feel great because I am doing it, but after I get nervous about if I should have done more or I did everything right. Before I go I get nervous about my endurance and performance. When I am at the gym, I may not be the best and it is possible that I am doing it semi right but when I feel the burn it feels great and I get more motivated.
Anyways, I was at the gym today and at the end I got an invite to go to a session with a trainer that works there!

I was finishing my work out with an ab work out and a trainer gave me tips, and insisted I go to a session. H e set one up for me and I am super nervous about it! I hope that I wont be SUCKY! Oh, just the thought.. and I am embarrassed! lol.
I will let you know how it goes!

I hope I can achieve my goals. I will post another with photos of what I would look like. = 0 )

Big Updat

hey guys. heres an another update.
well, I certainly have picked myself back up. I am now going to the gym
and I go daily. I am very excited. I will be posting about all my progress,
my goals and anything else I can think of that is interesting.

I am going to the YMCA. It is pretty impressive, to me. They have so much there, I could stay there all day and the staff and people are so friendly that I find I am only killing time until I go to the gym. They have: boxing, martial arts, ballet, and dancing. They have a huge selection of rooms like: Cardio, weight lifting, a special work out room that is computer organized (keeps your workout info, tells you how to do better, when youre doing good, when to increase and what exercises to do next- SUPER COOL!), basketball courts, tennis and racket courts. They have wifi, personal trainers, messages, and two swimming pools. The best part is that the place is sooooooo FRIENDLY and it is a non profit organization! Instead of paying some dude to have nice rims on a car, it goes to the kids in the community. I feel comfy and like it is ok to be a beginner. Also, it has deals you can try for based on your income.

I have been going two weeks, daily, three hours. At the first week mark I lost a bit of weight. I will weigh myself every Sunday and report it here. To tell you the truth it will be most likely I will weigh myself every day, but I'll only post it on Sundays.

My goal is to get some abs, Smaller waste, pesky back chubby, smaller legs, smaller arms, bigger/rounder ass and to develop some pecs.

ABS: I am not sure how far I would like to go with it, but at least a little definition to where it is noticeable would be nice.

SMALLER WASTE: I would like to have abs, but also get that sexy definition in the hips, the kind that gives the cuts in the hips. Also, I dont want to be a flat, wide square. I would like to be an hour glass but not too big.

BACK CHUBBY: this includes a little bit on my upper sides. This is also known as the back bra area. Ugh, its soooo annoying to see the lumpy area where the bra goes. A nice sleek back is more like it! ; 0 )

SMALLER LEGS: Legs have always been my best asset, and even those need some work! They are really long, which is nice, and strong, which makes me proud, However, The insides kind of rub! That is suuuuper annoying. I recently went to the beach and the sand rubbing in between my legs was hurt so much and I said "I will IMMEDIATELY work on this!" Folks, I need to at least walk right when I am on the beach... it's so embarrassing!

SMALLER ARMS: I used to be pretty thin for a year, so I got new cloths and now my business clothes dont really fit in the arms! how LAME! so, I need to make them smaller and I would love to have them cut. Not too much definition, but the flabby wave really is not cool!

BIGGER/ROUNDER ASS: who doeesn't want a nice ass? I certainly don't want mine to be huge, but a nice firm two handed or one and a half hand grab would be perfect! I squeez my bunz together some times and it has some cellulite. From unclinched buns I am alright, but I really think cellulite is disgusting.

PECS: ok, some of you may be like "whhaaaaat?! Why for goodness sakes would you want that!" Well, I am not wanting crazy, no boobed pecs. Actually, I you develop some pecs you may lift and grow some. That is amazing! but be careful! I would cry if I lost them, but hey I really think plastic surgery is ridiculous and getting perky in the chest area is a big thumbs up to me! ; 0 P

so I will post pictures in the next post to let you know what kind of looks I am talking about. Also, I will be giving play lists to work out to. Some I have taken from some other sites (people) and some i make. I will share all sites I get things from. = 0 )

okie dokie.

so, here's the personal bit of my blog.
BEWARE! lol

so, I finally got my own apartment (no roommates!) which is cool. I am a bit stressed about making rent and not being a big spender. I still have to buy some furniture. I sleep on the couch and right now I am at a cafe, really tasty!, for the internet and coffee. Macchaito is pronounced MAK-E-A-TOE NOT MACH-AYETO ...lmfao. Gosh some times I can be so thick.
Now It is time to download music, put it on my crap phone and eat, then work out 30 minutes to an hour later.
see you later!

Happy New Year!
I have been gone for a while but, I am back!
I have been trying to get into computer animation school, I also have
been trying to get myself to go hiking, but its only happened
randomly though out the time ive been gone.

This is a new year and I am super excited because I have that feeling
of motivation. I rarely have it, so I know it when I feel it. LOL.

I have already bought a juicer and have made a deal with my roomie
to eat healthier. I have not been running or hiking because I have been
really sick but come rain or shine, tomorrow I will go hiking twice and running
at least once.

So the juicer was expensive, however.. it is flippin awesome! the best drinks
I have ever made! I must say, I am really nervous about putting veggies in that
thing but I will try it soon. I would so prefer to squish all my veggies into
one cup then have them spread through out the day with a crap look on my face. lol.
In case you have one too and are just starting... I hear that if you add apple to
the juiced veggies it will sweeten it right up! Also.., for some odd reason I can really taste the sugar in the fruits, so it is perfect for a sweet craving!

I am going to get into shape this year! I really want it and I am not going to fail!
I want to get into shape by my birthday, which is when summer will start. My birthday is in June, so I have 5 more months to get these buns going! beach babe body here I come!

I will be using the link on my top, right of the profile to keep track of things and
i will look into doing the work outs with zuzanna light! It's kinda hard cause my apartment is upstairs but i'll figure some thing out. Plus, I plan on getting a gym member ship! I already have two volunteers to be a gym buddy. One buddy is for pilates, and boxing. gosh! Is that ever expensive! It's 200 a month!
The other bud is for the running at the gym.

Now, the running gym guy is supper hot! So, before I embarrass myself I am going to start hiking and running out side of the gym and when i get better at running I will
do it inside on a treadmill. He says all it takes is 5 minutes a day to get better. I believe him!

well.. its that time to go to the grocery store and buy some food!

-SO EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW YEAR-

In Depth Plan!

Dear you,
Hey there! Well, it's time for another post. I have been keeping busy with a lot of activities but not any concentrated and intended workouts. However, I will start Starting Monday.

This weekend I must clean the disaster that is in my apartment. I will be rearranging the house, and trying to get rid of clothes and I hope to get rid of my art. I feel like if I were to burn them it would be a waste... so, I plan on letting someone else use em for firewood behind my back. lol.

On Monday I have a hiking date with a coworker. No... it is not a date date. It's just two chickies going hiking... suffering together...lol.

My downstairs neighbor ended up being in penthouse magazine and these other mags. I am happy for her, but I feel embarrassed to be outta shape. My boyfriend came in and told me about how hot our neighbor is and as soon as I saw it I went upstairs, did my make up and hair and came back down to hang out with my neighbors. How embarrassing! So, Ive decided to go more into depth and really try hard to pick myself up again.

so I updated on was my eating plan. I told you about my monthly plan on exercising and eating. You know, the one with a bigger girl and one with one in shape, with arrows and goals on it. Well, I've decided I've gotten off to a rotten start the second time around, and I have so much weight to catch up on.

I am keeping my monthly calendars posted. Three total, but: one on the fridge, one above my bed and one in the bathroom. I always end up using the one in the bathroom to update the most. Anyways, tonight I made a weekly calender with the same meal plans!

These weekly meals plans will be like my food diary. I will be printing out my weekly meal schedule, and leave space next to it to detail about any changes and what time I ate. Then I am going to put a blank page behind it, and I must write about how I felt about each meal, what my thoughts on about the meals, the day for exercise(if I wish) and if I have any upcoming dates where food will be replaced for a meal do to an occasion of some sort and how I plan on dealing with it. Once that day comes, it will be interesting to see how I did. I will collect these weekly and at the end of the month make an assessment. Write about it and see if I will continue.

Wish Me Luck!

BYE BYE JULY

Hey there peoples!
Ok. So The month of July is over. The weather's been fabulous and I have been enjoying it.

I have not been hiking or working out. At all. The only sort of exercise I've had the entire month was at work or walking to and from work. To and from work is about 2 miles each way. So, I guess it's better than sitting on the couch.

Even though I have not done any substantial working out I have been eating well and keeping up with my three weigh in's. I have been eating a lot of yogurt, cereal, salad, fruits, veggies, rice, and sushi!

Here it is folks.. the good stuff!


STARTING WEIGHT:180

MIDDLE WEIGH IN:180

END WEIGHT:177

GOAL:146

MISSED:31

AUGUST GOAL:126

Ok...ok...ok...ok! I know thats pretty bad. LOL. pretty terrible. I had a huge set back. I still don't feel like getting my butt up and doing things but I am going to anyways! I know my goal is pretty far but this goal is just adding up what I missed and the goal I am supposed to reach if I were on track. I probably wont reach that goal but it is there none the less. I am not so stressed out about reaching my goal like I was in the beginning but it is still very important and I still have that shirt to wear.My next post will be my plans and I do have them even though I feel like being a lazy butt. I will continue to eat well. Wish me luck, I need it.

thanks for tuning in,

Forget It...Go All The Way

I have decided! Enough of this putzin around stuff! I am going to start hiking the hard hike!
I did it today and it was hard but totally worth it. It was not as hard as the first time, but I have plenty of room for improvement. A cute, big , long black haired dog liked me and kept wanting my back pack, so it was funny/nice/cute. So, that is the good news. That and I am getting a tan! Yey for vitamin D! lol. I really have to get an MP3 player though. That, and a pair of good shoes still.

Also.. I thought I'd throw another informational tidbit out here. If you exercise while ... it's that time of the month then your cramps will go way down! I have been in a lot of pain this year when it was time for my hell week, but this week was a snap! I think I could dig that!

Oh! By the way. lol. I bought new exercise clothes and they're kinda... tight.. I am a bit embarrassed but I want them that way. I am sure I'll fit 'em soon. -I hope!

The last bit of news....
Eat my dust in celebrity world!!!
-as if I cared much about if someones rich- Kendra (playboy with the cutest laugh) and Hank (football player?) were hiking at the same place I was. I did not want to disturb them, so I just looked for a minute. That and I TOTALLY HIKED CIRCLES AROUND THEM!!! lmao! ahh... It's true though. She does look good, even though shes just had a kid, which kinda makes me sad about my state...lol. Other than that she should really dye her lower half of hair blond instead of bleaching it cause I really don't like that yellowish tint bleach gives. Oh, that and Hank is a giant next to her. Good going Hank.

Muffin tops are delicious to eat but not to wear

Hi there!
I was wondering... Have any of you ever felt like a snail, slow and sluggy, for a long period of time? I do. I am also aware of the phrase "couch potato". lol. Well...
I've decided once and for all I will not be any more!

Hopefully I stick to my goal and get up and lose weight. I am not going to be trying any diet pills or laxatives. I am going to do it the old fashion way... work your buns off and try to eat right.

I have a lot of trouble with this idea. I want to lose 50 pounds in 3 months. From just before I actually began, I am accustomed to eating whatever I like, and using work as an excuse for exercise. It is hard for me to get out of bed and when things are physically challenging I tend to not bother.

I have decided to go hiking (which is 4-6 miles) 4 days a week and an hour of exercise on the other 3 days. I hike in two different areas. Two days a week I do the easier route. the easier route is about 2-3 miles of inclined walking and the rest is down hill running/walking (mostly running). The other two days I hike at a place that is very difficult! Basically, at the moment it is horrendously painful and i don't expect to become good for a while. It is the same distance except the incline is outrageously steep. I have started June 1st, 2010. I weigh 180. I will weigh myself on the 15th and the 30th of June, just to keep track. I will also tell you how my pants are doing too...lol.

So far so good, except the dreaded two days of hiking on the steepest route. I have been getting up and going with friends and the people who hike at these places are very kind. They offer water if they think someone is in need, they let the dogs run loose and people i don't know encourage me with hi-fives and shouts of confidence in my being able to survive. I am super excited to be doing some thing to change my life. Already, my circulation has improved and I am not as cold as I used to be, my tan is coming back and I feel better with eating better. After all, if I don't eat right I'll have more fat to carry up that terrible hike!

well, I'll keep you updated and I will be taking pictures of my weight loss. This is new to me and I am a little embarrassed, so I will be uploading photos when I've made progress. well, Im off to bed and still excited about a new life style.
