I worked closely with five ladies and they did an incredible job at staying consistent. To my surprise, when I added the numbers, they had lost a combined amount of 84 lbs,

I am LOVING this workout, the music is awesome, the "rep effect" as they call it feels a burning sensation that tells me that my muscles are working and that my body is changing.

I’m sitting on my couch… well more like leaning back while I’m trying desperately to put my thoughts together on this one. I’m feeling a bit lazy today to be...

My Challenge Results!

Be truthful with me!

I’m overweight and I’m ALWAYS tired! Why?

Let’s say that you have 25 Lbs to lose and you’re constantly tired. Why is that? Well… imagine yourself being at your normal weight, except you have a sack of potatoes that weighs 25 Lbs.  ALL day long and you can’t put it down, you can’t get rid of it, you have to constantly carry it… you go to bed and you STILL have that...

The power of words…

Often times we blame ourselves for something that we don’t like, a particular circumstance, the place we live in, or the way we look. We do this often with things that we have no control over and others that we do. One of the things that I’ve had to learn is to place my focus on the positive. This has meant for me, to stay away from words that talk...

That could have been me…

Many think that the cost of eating healthy and exercising is high, but I say that the cost to our health and well-being of not eating healthy and exercising is even higher...

An Exceptional Year

What a roller coaster heck of a year it’s been and at the same time what a blessed year it has been. I have SO much to be thankful for and the amount of personal growth accomplished this year has been incredible. I have done things that I never thought possible and that I had never even considered. I lost 12 dress sizes in 14 months. I went from obese to...

Reflections for a lazy Sunday…

I’m sitting on my couch… well more like leaning back while I’m trying desperately to put my thoughts together on this one. I’m feeling a bit lazy today to be honest… well, maybe lazy isn’t the word, maybe it’s relaxed. This year has been incredible, crazy incredible. I have done things that I never imagined I’d do,...

Speed and Agility, really? REALLY?

Okay so I have totally lost it! TOTALLY! I decided I was going to go full out and take the next challenge… Insanity The Asylum. Let me tell you a bit about me… I was never good at sports that involved a ball, hitting something with a bat, or anything in which I needed to be coordinated. Ask any of my former classmates, they can totally confirm what...

Careful to not lose yourself in your quest for health.

For the past week or so I have been silent… observing, meditating and really trying to put my thoughts together for this next post. Losing 50+ pounds was challenging, I won’t say it was the easiest thing I have done, but it was worth it. Having gone from obese to competing in 14 months for me has been a HUGE personal accomplishment and yes, I’m...

This weight loss thing… it gets easier, I promise!

It does, really, seriously, I’m not kidding! It’s been almost 3 months since my competition and today for the first time in several weeks, I measured and weighed myself. I had asked my hubby to hide the scale several weeks ago because I was concerned about obsessing over it post-competition. I had expected to gain SOME weight, but everything I have...

A rare find…

Yes, rare indeed… on my quest to eat something healthy over the weekend while we were heading back home from Cambria, we… (well more like our hungry bellies) stumbled upon a very rare find. A delicious and healthy Mexican grill properly called “Taco Temple.” What was surprising about the restaurant is that it was no big deal, no fancy...

Motivation or inspiration?

So I have to be honest here… it’s SO not easy to keep the motivation to workout going, especially when we are faced with day-to-day challenges or our day-to-day activities. I discovered early on in my journey that I needed more than simple motivation, I needed something that would inspire me. When I am inspired about something or someone, it’s...

Don’t quit!

A few years ago, I took a seminar and what I learned was to not quit. The funny thing is that I quit anyway, I quit because I made up plenty of reasons to quit, but the truth is that I quit because I simply didn’t want to do what it took to finish that course, it seemed as if it was too much work at the time and I just felt like I didn’t have what it...
