2 WeeK ChecK iN

I am a day late after my two week period but yesterday was so busy didn't have time to really get on & post my update but after all my hard work and dedication I did so good! I ended up loosing 5.5 pounds and my goal was 7 so I am still proud of myself!! I was very close just a lil more than a pound short.. those last few were just hard to shake! But honestly I was doing weights and everything else it doesn't surprise me cuz my muscles are all toning up too =) haha.. But nonetheless.. I am proud of myself! Going to enjoy this weekend.. not veg too much then hit the gym back hard next week to maintain it! Yay! Kudos for me!!

KuDoS for KiCKBoXiNG!

Last night I drug Gaby to the gym with me to workout!! I'm staying motivated and helping her to get motivated ;) hehe.. we were both hella stressed out and had tons on our mind so I figured what better way to go relieve some stress than go work it out! We started off doing weights.. then went and did an ab class.. wewh.. that kicked our butt. BUT we still weren't done! Decided to take a kickboxing class after that! We LOVED it!! The guy teaching it was awesome and you did not stop moving once during the whole HOUR LONG CLASS! it worked every part of your body plus gave us some good ass-whooping skills!! haha.. The class finished up by doing an ab workout to a Ying Yang song which was hilarious but a great workout. We left the gym feeling soo much better and decided to go home and finish it off with a pilates workout for our upper body. Psshh.. don't even sleep on us..

.. UPDaTE ..

So its been right about a week since I started my new quest and set my weight loss-get fit goal.. and just wanted to post an update. So far I have been to the gym almost every single day since I set my goal except for a day or two where based on certain unforeseen circumstances I wasn't able to make it to the gym. But I still did my Pilates at home so it wasn’t a complete waste of a day. I feel SOOOO good about the changes I am seeing in my body! I am already half way to my weight loss goal and can tell a huge difference in just how I feel and the clothes I put on. So as a special treat to myself, last night I got this sexy lil dress to wear for my birthday NEXT WEEK!! Yay! It doesn’t stop here though.. still have less than a week to go and couldn’t be more excited about it =)


SPECiAL THANKS to Teresa, Gaby, Teck and Yaya for all the help with Bryson so I can go to the gym and of course these ladies and my hubby for keeping me motivated daily!! Love you guys!!!

Until Next Time..

Pilates KiCKS azz!!

So last night was my first night of being focused and trying to put my "plan" into action. Got home from work and made me and Bryson a small healthy lil dinner then got ready to head to the gym. Once I got there started off by doing some cardio, then worked on the "pooch", then weights, more "pooch" work (hah), and finished it off with running. I weighed myself afterwards just to get an estimate of what my weight was at the gym so I could be working on those figures during my journey and let's just say that scale was a few more pounds heavier than the one at home! LOL.. but I'm not gonna get discouraged! Gonna keep my weight loss goal at what it is right now for the first 2 weeks, then after that maybe shoot for a few more pounds! We shall see! I'm not tryna look too skinny now I think a lil meat on everyone is healthy ;) I definately left the gym feeling refreshed and even more motivated than when I started.

Since I was still pumped and ready to go, but the KidsZone closed at the gym so had to go cuz Bry was with us, we decided to stop by the store and I bought a Pilates DVD. When I got home I did the 10 minute ab workout and the 10 minute upper arm workout. Wewwhhh... 10 minutes doesn't seem like a long time but BOY o BOY was that a good lil workout!!! haha.. woke up this morning feeling sore (but in a good way) all in my arms!! My "pooch" still has more work to go so didn't feel it as much there.. but I def feel last night was a great start!!!

Back to the gym tonite.. and mucho THANKS to CeCe for going to the gym with me and keeping me PUMPED and ready to go!!!

Til next time...

Finally FOCUSED

Okk.. so my weight has always been up and down since forever and every since I had Bryson it's kinda been more on the "up" size ((mainly just my stomach aka as I like to call it, my "pooch")) compared to what I am used to being. Now don't get me wrong, by no means do I think I am "FAT".. I am just a lil chunky with some problem areas that need to be worked on. I keep telling myself I am going to do this.. or do that.. or workout more, eat healthier.. and I do SOO good and start seeing great results.. then I get lazy and comfortable again.. and POOOFF those results disappear just as quickly as they started to show!

Recently a few very CLOSE people have noticed my weight gain and made comments to me about it.. it's really had me down and depressed and ready to break down and go eat a twinkies.. haha.. just kidding I dont even like twinkies.. but you know what I'm saying! But today I've FINALLY decided I am not gonna let it get me down, but yet encourage me (which I know that's all they are trying to do in the first place).

I have a weight loss goal of 7lbs right now. Then after that I will set a new goal to maintain that weight and stay fit. Not only do I want to loose the weight, I want to tone up with it too and feel more confident about my body. I have pretty much cut out fast foods all together and sodas and am going to stick to a good healthy diet, lots of H20 and maintain a workout schedule. My goal is to loose this weight by my birthday.. that's TWO WEEKS. So about 3-4 pounds a week, I can do it, right?!

Okk so here goes!!! The workout begins tonite!! Stay tuned for updates..
