Today is the first day...

OF THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!

As much of a cliché that it is it is true. One of the things that really has helped me push to that level and make myself change is the wonderful word of Pinterest and their fitness bored. 

I see pictures like these and it makes me think damn I can do that and why is that I'm stopping myself and the simple fact is that i have been lazy.

It brings that motivation that i really need! and i'm so happy that i found Pinterest because it truly helped me get back into gear!

The last three weeks i have been focussing primarily on getting back into the gym and i have sucessfully worked out three days a week the last three weeks which is huge for me because well the gym has been a place that hasn't seen the likes of me since May 2011. So I'm so please to be back but..... now that i have the workout bug again my food needs to come back into effect because as the sign below says.....

Its not just exercise that is going to get me that Rocking Body that I want. But it doesn't hurt and thing!

Although truly I wish i could just say this:

to my body but in reality yeah that won't be the truth i have to put the effort into what i want to achieve and i have to set out and make myself have the will and the strength to put for my efforts and have my goals achievable and attainable. 

One thing i was waiting for was 11-11-11 with the #push challenge with Chalene Johnson but you know what in that time i could gain more weight and put myself even further behind. I can't wait to start the challenge and yes i will post about it soon!!! I will still do the challenge but I'm going to begin working on what i need to start now rather then put it off till monday or whatever the case is because that is what I have been doing for the past year!!!! So yes i will #push and challenge myself now and today instead of waiting!

Along with the push challenge i'm also doing:

• The 30 day Burpee challenge! It is with Your Inner Skinny. I'm starting at one but hey! after i do the first 30 days i'm going to do it again starting at intermediate.
• This picture below because i believe it will create AMAZING results!!!!

• And I'm going to start to run again because of this!!!

Thats the game plan and it starts immediately. Not tomorrow morning but right this minute!! I can do this because i've done this before and i can do it again. But this time...... ITS FOR REAL AND THE LAST TIME!!!!

Fitness Reviews

Work out review: PiYo

I took PiYo today for the first time at 24 hour fitness from one of my favorite Instructors Jenn Starling. It has been a class that I have wanted to take this class for a while I had just made to many excuses for myself  but today I took it for the first time and it was fantastic and wonderful.

This isn't your typical Pilates or Yoga class that is calm with smooth motions where you slowly go from one position to another. This is a Strength/Mind/Body/Class for the Turbo minded like myself. It went by in a flash and i never got bored because the class was broken up into sections and like TKB each section was as long as the song. I can't wait to try it next week but its going to be the last PiYo class that is going to by in my area for a while due to the instructor is moving out of town.

I got a fantastic calorie but and built up a great sweat, i mean i actually built up a good SWEAT in a MIND/BODY class. I only have a chance to do it three more times until my instructor moves away so i gotta take advantage while i can!

Heres a video preview of what PiYo is:

Taught by Jenn the instructor who taught my class today and yes she has that fantastic energy every class!

A demo from APD Audition camp 2011 *I can't wait to be able to do the moves with ease like they are!!!*

Great Motivational Sayings!

First Blog post in......

Its time for that post of.

• Yes i have been gone
• Yes a ton has happened in my life
• Yes i have lost weight
• Yes i have GAINED weight
• Yes its time to get my booty back in gear!!!

First i just want to say that I truly miss blogging I miss the daily accountability in my life that forces me to stay on track. Posting my daily eats, daily work outs, and daily reads was something I truly enjoy. While yes my brain tends to get a little side tracked and yes I probably have the grammer capabilities of a 12 year putting myself out there helps make me accountable to me!!!

My last blog post was on May 11th! and to be honest i just blogged about the Dukan diet that i did for..... i think about a week because within that first week my car broke down on my way to the coast and all i wanted to do was get drunk with my Maid on Honor because i was so upset about missing all of my wedding stuff i had planned.  ANYWAYS... Let me fill you in.

I ran my first half marathon on May 1, 2011!!! It was an amazing experience doing it with Team in Training. I couldn't have wish for a better expirience and i can't wait to do another event with them. The only difference the next time i'm going to train for an event i want to make sure that i know that it isn't the end all be all when i complete it i need to continue with my goals and asperations after the event is completed!!

Here are some pics of me during the race!

Wearing that purple shirt on the course is amazing because someone somewhere on the course sees it and knows that you raised money for Lukemia and Lymphoma research and when you hear that go team it really keeps you going!!!

I GOT MARRIED!!!

Yes i got married to the love of my life on July 30, 2011 and we had an amazing wedding on a beautiful day and even with all my crazy bridezilla moments i still wouldn't change it for the life of me!

I got Skinny doing HCG injections before the wedding:

Did two amazing photoshoots with the wonder Nicci Pelott a B-Pic session for my wonderful husband and a rock the dress shoot after the wedding!

B-Pic: Sorry this is the only one i'm gonna show :)

Rock the dress:

So yeah i was a little busy. then...after the wedding i decided that to hell with dieting i'm going to eat what i want and guess what happened? I gained all the weight back!

So whats the game plan.... Well to be honest i'm not really sure. I have so many things i want to do and combine together but i'm not sure what i really want to imply. See i love how Skinny Bitch goes across but i love the idea behind Body Confidence but i love the results of McCombs and Weight Watchers so i'm so torn on what i want to do. I do know this.....

• Dairy is out!
• Carbs out!
• Fruit in
• Complex Carbs in
• 
  
• Sugar out
• Stevia in
• Soda out
• Tea and water IN
• Smoothies for breakfast in
• Cereal in the AM OUT!

its not much of a game plan but now that i have been working out i feel like eating healthy has been something that i wanna do! I am as well debating thinking about becoming a vegan, I like meat but it isn't something that i love while yes a big steak is always great but i hate animal cruelty so its a combo and deciding if i want to take the leap. I just need to read up on some great simple recipes and easy ways to be a vegan without being that annoying friend that EVERYONE has. Any tips or great blogs would be great if you could share em!!

My work out routine is going to be:

 TKB TKB TKB and hopefully body pump. I haven't been to body pump yet but i have the best intentions of trying when i pack my work out bag in the morning :P My goal this time around is to incorporate a little more strength training into my work out routine because i never do.

I guess the main thing i want to do is cut the crap and stop this yo yo cycle. I wanna turn this cycle into a road and turn this blog from a weight loss blog to a weight loss success blog!
