On My Way to Beachin' Body

Weird

2010-02-10T18:06:00.002-09:00

I called my dr on monday because I wanted to start taking my ol' trusty ripped fuel. I love that stuff. It gives me so much energy, burns my fat, and I always get stuff done when i am taking it. It has side effects of course but do i care...not really...maybe a little, but not enough not to take it. However i am also taking Welbutrin so i wasnt sure what the side effects would be with the combination of the 2 would be so i called. Naturally the doc said no, but not only because it can cause arithmia but it can increase the side effects of the welbutrin. THAT is why I am not going to take it. i cannot afford to have to work any harder than i have to for satisfaction in the bedroom. not going to happen. So i asked the nurse if the doc recomended anything i could take. Doc said no, but there are some other avenues i could take. I explained to hei that i have gained almost 10 lbs in the last month and i am going to the gym 3 days a week. I am eating healthy. yadda yadda yadda. The nurse agrees that that is really weird, so they ordered a metabolic screening and thyroid test. He then explained to me that there is what they call "the eielson 35". which means in the last 5 years people have gained an average of 35 LBS in their first year at this base. I am very familier with this theory, because i refused to be one of those people. When i got to this base i was 164 if i gained the eielson 35 that would have put me at almost 200 lbs. OMG no way. Last summer i got down to 125 YAY, id love to be there again. so hopefully we can find out what the heck the problem is. No body wants a Fat personal trainer LOL

scale

2010-02-06T11:43:00.001-09:00

I want to get on the scale soooooooo sooooo soooo bad!!!! but i have to wait till monday because i want to weigh on the scale at the gym (that is 3 LBS heavy). So i can have an accurate gauge. DAMNIT!

2010-02-05T12:16:00.003-09:00

Okey dokey, so end of week one at the gym. I went all 3 days, 30 min of cardio and 6 lifting exercises a day.
I went alone on monday. However wednesday and today (friday) I got to go with EBF (eielson best friend). She and i have basicly the same bodtype. She is a bit taller than me. It is nice to have an accountibility partner, that is for sure. She also shares my love for the burn and the day after pain. I was a little cdoncerned because i am one odd girl to love muscle pain, but apparently she is just as odd as i am. HAHA. Anywho Our Gym got rid of my favorite machine, the tred-climber. I amreally sad about it because i useally use it on fridays. I work legs on friday so i dont want to run really hard. The tred climber burns just as many calories and gets my heart rate up without overexursion on my leg muscles. I guess ill have to deal with that. I ate super-de-duper clean this week, with the exception of today when i got myself a wopper jr and fries (not all of the fries). It was super good but not as great as i envisioned but good nonetheless. My children still can't find my body tape. so we are going to look for it this weekend, so i can measure monday.

So I decided it was time to hit the gym, the real gym~ not the videos in my house, Because honestly I hate them! they work~true. do i see results when i do 30 day shred?~ absolutely, almost instantly as a matter of fact. However i hate doing it. So I enrolled my children in part day pre-school Monday wednesday and friday 8:30-11:30. Yesterday was day 1. 8:30 drop off and off i went to the gym. I was supposed to have a workout buddy but she kind of bailed due to a cut on her finger. But did i let that discourage me? HELL to the NO. I did 30 min of interval training and lifted free weights. Mondays are Chest and Triceps. I did 3 sets of 20 reps on the chest press and peck deck(pectoral flys) for my chest. For my Tris i did 3 sets of 20 reps Tri press downs and overhead tricep presses. I also did 60 bench dips (AHHHH i hate those) and 30 push ups. Inbetween sets i did 6 sets of 20 crunches (total). I came home and ate a half of a burger.

it is awesome---->>>

For a snack i had an apple with peanut butter (one of my fav snacks). I love my pampered chef apple wedger, if you dont have one GET ONE, Anywho. For dinner I had margarita chicken, brown rice and broccoli. Yummy!
After dinner I fell asleep (while hubbs cleaned the kitchen) When i woke up i had a snack...i probaly shouldnt have but i was soooo hungry. So i ate club crackers and cheese. No processed food for this chickie :). Today is my rest day so i did some yoga. I will be selling that video. It hurts my hips...sad...i just bought it. oh well i guess that is how you learn LOL.

I am super sore today...Owwwwiiiiieeeee

I love it :)

the scale says...

2010-01-12T15:23:00.000-09:00

130...But that might be more accurate than last weeks 135, since aunt flow was in town. Maybe i did lose 5 lbs in a week, but i highly doubt since i did have an 11pm cup of noodle (of which i only ate half) and That christmas candy that is STILL sitting on my counter. Please someone tell me why i decided to but 6 bags of quick sale dove chocolate the day after christmas, when i knew i was going back to eating healthy on the 1st of January? Cant resist a sale i guess. im weak. LOL. I have decided that since the hubbs is gone for the week, i will drop meets and processed foods out of my diet, Just to see where that takes me. Hopefully down to 120! hahaha a girl can dream right! I really have to watch my intake this week, because i will not be going to my muscle pump classes (tues and thurs) since i Have no one to watch the twinkies.

There will deffinatly be no outside activity since it has been 40+ degrees in the NEGITIVE!!! Tredmill and workout videos just dont do it for me, I love the Gym, I love weights I love being there with my headphones on sweating and loving it. No kids to say "mommy, mommy momma, mom, mommy, ma?" Just me, and I love it. So this last week i decided i know what i want to be when i grow up. Yup, you guessed it...or did you? LOL A personal trainer, but first i am going to finish school to be a Nutritionist. What a perfect qualification to add to my resume as a trainer, right! YAYA

It has bee a while and i haven't posted anything on this subject but it doesn't really matter since i have no followers LOL but here is what i have ...Pics be warned :P
15 or 16 LBS down 15 to go!! i will do this! I have been bouncing back and forth between diets, but the one that i have been doing is WORKING OUT! i have lost more inches on the 30 day shred, however i feel much stronger when i go to the gym and lift. So now i have to find a balance between the 2... Here goes 128 even was my last weight (before mother natures visit)

2009-02-26T21:23:00.001-09:00

So i got sick. gained weight. bought a body tape measure. so i am down to 134.6. and my boobs are gone UGH! so i am still at it with another supplement... RIPPED FUEL! we will see i started it on Sunday woop woop

Day 7-8

2009-02-09T08:22:00.000-09:00

Day 7 was hard i was still fighting that damn cold so i half assed my workout. I did most of the cardio, and a tiny bit of strength. total maybe 15 minutes. i just couldn't go anymore. The weight watchers it wonderful though. I am not starving at all, which it totally different from any other diet i have ever been on. Portion control is key. Is it working? I think so

Day 8 was a bit better, we went to church. I came home and did my Full workout. My legs were a bit achy, but overall it went well. I have decided that the plank jacks are going to do me in, so again i did the jumping jacks with my abs tight. I weighed in at about 9 am and i am down to 134.6. 20 more pounds and i am at my goal. YAY for me!!

Day 5-6

2009-02-06T18:50:00.000-09:00

Day 5 Was a challenging day. i woke up with this terrible cold. so i took some sudifed and cleaned my house, i thought i would just do my workout after the kids went down for nap. By the time nap time came the sudifed had worn off, at that point i was worthless, congested and tired, so i opted out of my workout. I seriously tried but every time i got up to do something i got lightheaded, i can only imagine what Jillian would have done to me. i would probably still be laying on the floor, unconscious. I guess it is a good thing my kids can make their own cereal lol. But i made up for the workout by only eating 9 points out of my 20.

Day 6 I a still fighting this damn cold, and to be honest it is really pissing me off. I hate it when my nose itches. there is nothing more irritating, Actually there might be, but i cant think of anything right now. Any who i had a great nights rest and i was up with the sun,[earlier actually] got the kiddos off to school, went to the education office, tanned and came home to do my workout. I was all about it since i felt terrible for taking yesterday off. still on level 2, but again i decided not to do the plank jacks. They make me light headed, well they don't but they are coupled with double jump ropes and the up and down would have done me in. so i again did my jumping jacks, and peed my pants. Yea i did, cold + exertion = pee pee in your panties. So i paused the DVD and changed. then continued as usual. I don't feel much today no leg pain no tummy pain so i think my endurance has built up.

Business as usual tomorrow and weigh in on Sunday YAY

Day 4

2009-02-04T11:47:00.000-09:00

Today started out well, but i felt a tiny bit guilty for having that Turkey pastrami sandwich at 9pm...even though it was just half, I made up for that other half by dipping it into ranch dressing.

Ranch dressing just happens to be my weakness. I quit ranch cold turkey about 8 months ago, and i didn't really miss it, but then my son went on this kick where he had to dip everything, i mean EVERYTHING in ranch. This child would dip a hamburger, a hot dog, even Mac n cheese. We went to burger king and he asked me to get him ranch for his cheeseburger, we got home and i dipped ONE french fry in the ranch and the addiction began, yet again. So i fight with that demon regularly. i tried light ranch and it is just gross. So i feel like i take a step backward when i have it, but it is just like Heaven in my mouth.

I took the kids to school and on the way home i was arguing with myself. I could just take a say off i say, then the argument began. No you cant take a day off, i tell my lazy self. Just do it! then little lazy says " yea but you are in pain, there is no sense in hurting yourself" Motivator me says "but you have this goal and you want to accomplish it. Just do it don't be a puss." this argument went on until about 1030, when lazy just gave up, because it was just too lazy to continue arguing. Motivator me won. and i am really glad. i needed to do it.

I have a goal and that goal will not be accomplished is i puss out, and let lazy win. That is how i got into this situation to begin with, right!?!?

So through the DVD i am sweating and panting and drinking lots of water, and then i come to the STUPID "plank jacks". they are HELL and to be honest it kinda hurts my lower back, so i opted out of them. instead i just did regular jumping jacks. for the most part i do the advanced version of the moves, but there a few things that irritate my hips, so i do the beginner version. I was sweating my ass off, quite literally hopefully... But at this point i think i might DIE if i get to level 3 LMAO. But i am just going to take it one day at a time and i will get where i want to be.

Wish me luck, and pray that little lazy gets her ass out of my life!

Day 1-3

2009-02-03T11:40:00.000-09:00

On 1 February 2009 i have decided to dedicate my life to bettering myself a an over all human being. well actually that started when the Man deployed, on 2 January. with that ritual i started a bedtime routine that has since been inadvertently avoided, became a quasi vegetarian went to the gym maybe 5 times and worked out at home 3is maybe...and lost 6 lbs. On February first i decided to kick it into high gear.

Day one, my motivation is through the roof, Gooo MEEE!! I weighed 138.2 lbs at 3:32 pm now if you don't know you weigh less in the morning so that is why i felt it necessary to let you know the time of my weigh in. I did a level one workout with Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, and it wasn't too excruciating. I was sweating and thirsty, and afterwards i felt a little like gelatin, but it was good.

Day Two, I was slightly less motivated and kind of procrastinating the workout [along with everything Else, but that is another blog all together]. But i somehow managed to git'r'done, so to speak. Today was a bit harder on my body, but the last time i did this workout i gave myself a break and never went back, so i was determined to get passed this, whatever it is that is holding me back from reaching my goal. All day my booty was killing me and my legs were like jello jigglers {thanks bill Cosby for that lovely reference}.

Day Three, I have my motivation back, i slept well and i was raring to go, so at 11 i decide it was time, and i got daring I did level 2, wow, that was interesting, hard to say the least. I also have realized that since i have had children the control of my rhythm kind of sucks, lol. she had me doing Skaters and i couldn't figure it out, wow. i am a spaz. but i wont let that get me down. i plan on doing the level 2 for another week, then we will see how i am feeling. my calves are hurting, bad. So bad that i want to take an Advil. i think i just might...

What have i learned

*Breakfast make you hungry earlier than you would be if you were not eating ie; if i don't eat breakfast i could go till 3pm and not eat (completely unhealthy) if i do eat i am hungry at 11 and starving by noon.
*The girls in the workout videos wear shorts and sports bras not just to show you what you can have, but because t shirts are very constricting and you have to constantly pull them down, because well the ride up up up! and it is just too damned hot to wear sweats, i actually took mine off midway through the workout because i was overheating

today i weigh 136.2 at 12:20 pm

I surprised myself
