Time for Corri to love Corri...

[corritaylor82]

Day 1:

Hello all, my name is Corri Taylor, but y'all can call me Coco. I'm 32 years old and coming back to fitness after a very long time. I was born in Washington, DC; raised in Prince Georges County, MD; and now live in Vance County, NC. I look back over my life and I realize that time has flew by so fast... I use to play basketball in Middle School and played Rec (Recreational Center) Basketball in High School. Played flag and contact football. I even played softball for a while, wasn't good at it, but I tried lol. I remember being 160lbs at 17% body fat my senior year in high school and being on the weightlifting team in both high school and college. I have NO idea what happened. After school everything went down south... I stopped eating right, exercising and straight up became a non-active person. I still don't know who this person is that I have become...

I found body building.com through a random magazine ad I saw at the doctor's office in March 2014. I checked out the site and was all into it then I just STOPPED. Never came back until my mom was in the hospital for the 4th time last year in late September. I was sitting there looking at my mom wondering how she had gotten to the point of a 4th hospital stay in only one year. When she woke up from being on the breathing machine for 3 days, she couldn't do it on her own, she asked me to never get myself to where she is. For a long time my mom would tell me be careful, don't get where I am, Corri slow down eating, etc. yet the words never stuck until the days I wasn't sure she would be in my life any longer.

My goals (down the line) are to lose fat, gain muscle, be athletic, do a mud run or 2 or 3, do a competition or two, become a NESTA certified trainer (okay so NESTA is the only one I know ROFL), help friends and family, and to reach out to my community. I say all that to say, this is my journey to not only go back to the woman I use to be, but better than I have ever been before. I have NO idea of what I'm going to journal about. I don't know if I'm going to make this an emotional, nutrition and/or workout journal, still not 100% sure. Just hoping to inspire myself and a few others as well.

Well here I go and I'll see you all soon! Until we meet again...

Day 2:

I have been thinking of ways to get in shape at the gym and I had to share it with all of you:

Day 3:

So I have decided to do a weekly vlog as well. I'm not good at movie making, but sometimes a word of encouragement, a recipe, or motivation might be needed. Or even do like the pros and show a workout here and there... idk

In other news, my meals for today were:

Breakfast:
Chocolate protein pancakes

Lunch:
Great Northern Beans with grape tomatoes on the side

Dinner:
a lemon pepper (no salt) skinless chicken breast, baked yams, and okra

They really have a lot of GREAT recipes here on BB. I'm gonna try many of them once I get my check this coming Thursday. Grocery shopping takes way longer than it use to, but it's worth the sacrifice when you're getting healthy. It's hard not to go down those middle aisles at times but I have been doing really good for the last 2 months. I just hope I don't have a brake down start going for the processed stuff again.

Day 4:

Okay so now I have all my meals planned for this week... Um can someone please tell me why plastic bowls and containers are so damn high in cost? ROFL

I also posted a new video on youtube today, check it out!

I'm going to set myself a goal to do 5 reps of each exercise for now.

In my opinion, this is THE BEST dietary supplements I have EVER had! Consistent positive changes from mood to energy to getting closer to my goals. I wish this wasn't just a sample and I'm sad to stop using it, but I tell you this! There is no way I'm gonna go too long without it! Going to get me some more REAL soon!

Key Ingredients
Gotu Kola: Gotu Kola to support mood
and mental health. *

Advantra Z®: Promotes weight loss by
helping speed up metabolism and
thermogenesis in the body. *

Yohimbe: Supports weight loss and
boosts energy levels.*

Huperzine A: An active compound which
may help support memory, learning, and
concentration.*

Capsimax®: Capsimax® may help increase
diet-induced thermogenesis, manage
appetite and support healthy body composition.*

-----------------------------------------------------------

My results based on taking one capsule on an empty stomach at 8:30 every morning:

Energy:
Definitely increased after only one pill.

Body Temperature:
Stayed consistent with my normal body temperature until I started working out. Built up more of a sweat than usual. Once I hit my cool down my body temperature was back to normal.

Rest/Breaks between Exercises:
Rest between workouts were shortened due to an increase in energy

Food Cravings:
Stopped those extra calorie cravings late at night (also known as the “midnight snack”).

Side Effects:
Only good side effects; energy lasted throughout the day, didn’t form bad sleeping habits, focus was improved, and no mood swings.

The new formula of Cellucor’s Strawberry Margarita PRe-Workout powder is THE BEST! I loved it because it was sweet and I felt like I was drinking juice rather than taking a supplement. It misses GREAT in water and there is no after taste or chalk-like feeling in your mouth. I started out with 1 scoop in 6 oz. of water because I have tried other pre-workouts and I know the maximum amount of water recommended is what I need to take. The workouts were good but my body got use to it quickly and I didn’t feel the boost like I once did. I then upgraded to 2 scoops in 1 pint (16 oz.) of water. My workouts now are EXPLOSIVE! I kill it overtime I workout now and look forward to the next training day because I know I’m going to do my best work with this product! It only takes about 10 minutes for me to feel the effects of the pre-workout working. I have a bit of an itchy feeling on the back of my ears and my hair feels like t’s standing on the back of my neck. My heart never began to race so I loved that I was in control of the product’s effects. Energy was steady where I needed it especially during the hardest parts of my workouts and helped me push through with ease (Beta-Alanine). In my opinion, taking this product on an empty stomach is best. This product does not slow down fat loss by any means. This is definitely a MUST HAVE in my supplement supply.

Have a good night all!

[corritaylor82]

I actually stopped working out for a while. Mainly because I'm learning to believe in ME. It sounds simple enough, but what many people don't understand is that as confident as I may seem, like many woman on the inside, I'm not confident about my body. I even physched myself up to take the pictures for the challenge which started this year and the further I was in to it the more depressed I got. Like really; I'm eating much better, quit smoking, and was losing weight but the issue was deeper than the outside. The numbers on the scale were awesome, but I didn't feel like it. Something has now clicked.

First of all you read it all the time, but as a humans in this day and age we want everything now. That mentality has to STOP completely. I've read article after article that this is not an overnight process, but yet I still wanted results. So I have decided to only weigh myself every 30 days. That's only 12 weigh-ins per year. Secondly, I need to TRUST in ME. That's a huge pill right? It's one thing to KNOW yourself, but can many of us say that we TRUST ourselves? To be committed to YOURSELF is a HUGE deal. These changes are physical, but they also have to be a mental and spiritual change as well.

Thinking about doing Ashley Conrad's Clutch Cut again. I'm starting to get the fact that these workouts are blueprints and don't have to be followed all the way through. Just do what I can for as many sets as I can and build my endurance and strength up to the point where I can do them 100%. Coming to the realization that doing SOMETHING is BETTER than nothing seems easy, but you have to start somewhere or else you will never finish.

Keep pushing BB. And I'll see you all in 30 days... :-)
