On A Mission

I have officially hurt myself! My legs and abs are throbbing! This week I have completed 5 straight days. I cannot wait until Sunday for a REST DAY!

:) I Did It!! (Week of May 13-18)

Another week coming to a close and I feel like I have accomplished so much. My planned schedule was almost a full success...I had to tweak a few things.

Monday-Stairs
3 sets of 6 complete! This equals 3 miles. Jennings (my partner) encouraged me to finish the last one. I am so going to build up my speed. KeKe was running up those stairs I give her her props man. My plan is to build up my speed to where I can run all of the sets nonstop. I am going to start with one mile first.

Tuesday-Rest Day
This was such an accident. I missed my Hip Hop with Kris, but my body was not having it that day. So I rested.

Wednesday-Zumba
I missed dance so much that I craved it. I drove all the way to Irving to get my dance on. It was worth it...that was until I got caught in the storm and tornado weather. I never moved that fast for shelter in my life lol! Texas weather!

Thursday-NIKE & 20 min. of Turbo
I made it through the entire NIKE on Thursday! Hence the reason why I was no good after for Turbo. No complaining until the absolute end when the class finished. I was shocked that I even made it for 20 minutes of Turbo. After that my body screamed out NO and I obliged.

Friday-Rest Day

Saturday-Turbo/Zumba/NIKE

I enjoyed the 40 minutes of Turbo. Sabrina was in rare form. Her back is getting better and you can tell. I died like 4 times. I completed 30 burpees. Zumba was off the chain as usual. Kris was on point. I danced my shirt off...or I just didn't like clothes one or the other. Either way I felt like I was in a video. NIKE woo! I knew that it was going to be hard today my body is still sore from Thursday. Today I wasn't last in the two laps I ran!! My body seriously feel like butter.

Ooooo. Next week is going to be a culmination of my past two weeks. I don't know how I am going to get through, but it is a mind thing. 

Monday-Stairs (3 miles/run 1)
Tuesday-Hip Hop w/ Kris
Wednesday-Zumba
Thursday -(Tentative might be a rest day--Kindergarten Graduation)
Friday-Rest Day
Saturday-Turbo/Zumba/NIKE (I wonder can I do 3 hours...just a thought)

Wish me luck I am on a mission. I want to continue to lose inches and build up my stamina. I can't wait until I become accustomed to the new changes in my workout schedule, so I won't have to hurt myself so much. 

Be like NIKE: Just Do It!

This is my slogan for today. I have been complaining in every class. It's hard I'm not going to lie! It's far from easy, but I feel that I am can do better if I let go and just do it. We will see if it is correct. I completed 3 miles of stairs (slowly of course). I have a full week outlined for me.

Monday-Stairs DONE!
Tuesday-Hip Hop
Wednesday-Bodies in Motion or Zumba
Thursday-Nike & Turbokick
Friday (REST DAY)
Saturday-Turbokick (30 minutes)/Zumba (full hour)/NIKE (30 minutes)
Sunday-Swimming (Free Swim)

Will I make it? Good question. I am going to believe that I am until I prove myself wrong.

Meatless Mondays
I accidentally completed Meatless Mondays until 7:30 after that I was MEATBOUND!!!!! Breakfast I ate peaches and drunk orange juice...Lunch was a Meal Replacement Shake...Dinner lets not talk about it...there was cabbage as a side though...

How was this an accident? I'm glad you asked. I ate breakfast at the school and the "french toast" was not appealing. Lunch was chili frito pie...how fast can I say ugh no!!!! I did break though after my stair run my body was yelling at me so I obliged.

Tomorrow is another day. Peace!

Ouch to Transformation!

After revamping I am in so much pain! My muscles are throbbing. It started Thursday when I actually went through with Nike and Turbokick back to back. What was I thinking? Ugh! I watch other people and I see how easy it is for them. At least they make it look easy. All of these rock hard bodies prepared for any and everything this man gives them. The only thing that is second nature to me is dancing to a beat. I don't think I can get used to this.

This week I completed Sunday (swimming), Tuesday (Zumba), Thursday (Nike/Turbo), and Saturday (Turbo/Zumba/Nike)...in addition to two workouts at my job. I know I have lost it right? Or maybe I am just now taking my workout to the next level. What do you think? If the way that I feel now is an indication I would say that I have lost all of my marbles.

But I can say, "I wasn't last...(jumping ecstatically)...in Nike I wasn't last!!!" Will I make it next week? It is possible. Definitely going to try to make it to swimming, it relaxes my muscles. A remedy that is definitely a necessity after my Epsom salt baths and sleep.

Tomorrow is weight day...ugh! My goal was 3 pounds, but I do not know if I am going to make it. I think I gave away my mom's homemade banana pudding too late. I ate it sporadically, but still...I guess I won't know until tomorrow when I go back to the gym. Either way I have to share this information with my dad. Overall, I feel like I am my biggest critic. Gaining one pound last week hurt me especially when I was really trying counting calories and exercising... :-(

Revamp: Day 1

I finished strong today. 984 Calorie Intake. Last Shakedown of Hip Hop for exercise. The best part is although I had my spurts of hunger it was easily managed with a small snack like animal crackers or peaches.

But can I ask a question: Why is it that when you make a commitment to yourself not to do something...it is like boom right in your face? Today as I ate my baked chicken breast my coworker came in with Lil' Caesars' Pizza. This is one of my favorite food!!! :-( I turned her down. Sigh it was hard, but I did get to chat with an older lady at my job. She has lost a lot of major weight and I just told her what I was doing and why. She gave me her rule of thumb, "You can still eat, but it must fit into a saucer and you cannot go back for seconds." I like it!  We will see I am still in the beginning fazes here.

On another note, my Hip Hop Instructor, Taylor Gee, leaves tomorrow :-( It is official! I miss him already. Look him up on YuTube he's awesome!!!!!

Rude Awakening

After all of my workouts, I have had a rude awakening. I met with my father today. He has lost over 70 pounds by counting calories. He looks like a different man!! I know that I have talked about him before, but this was different. Diabetes (The Sugar), High-blood Pressure, and Obesity runs in my family. I know this, but I love food. What am I to do? I weighed myself...ugh yet again...I am at 186 pounds. I have been in this range for a long time. I workout and dance like crazy. I am losing inches. I know this because it shows...and people have noticed...but what am I doing wrong? Both of my siblings weigh less than I do, too. This is wonderful for them, but what am I doing wrong? I did the math I am 51 pounds overweight!!!! This is how much my son weigh!!!! Should I be worried? I believe so. So much so, I think that I am going to have to do something dramatic. I'm back to counting calories (grudgingly of course). I'm also increasing my output while decreasing my input. 

Goal(s): 
No fast food this week.
Breakfast everyday...even if it's a smoothie.
24 Hr. Workout schedule: Mon. & Tues. (Hip Hop), Thurs. (NIKE & Turbo), Sat. (Turbo & Zumba)
School Gym (MAC): 3 days (Mon./Wed./Fri.)

I know that this appears extreme, but I need to shock my body! Wish me luck! Or give me advice =-) 

Rest Day

I have had an involuntary rest day from work...my midget got sick. But I am ready to workout! Today I am going to put what I want out there into space...Reluctant to go back to Powersculpt but I just might though...Powersculpt and Zumba.
