Ok kiddies.... as I stated in my previous journal, "it was never about the food" .... this is my first "official" challenge of 2012

If I can be 17 days (today) diet pop free then I can take this on:




There will be a lot of doing this year. Talk is cheap.

Easy enough, best of luck!

Thanks.

small revision to the above challenge...it also includes anything in a box or a bag - except oatmeal, beans (will be rinsed before eating), pre-cut lettuce, frozen fish and/or veggies. Everything else bubbbbbye.

Over the Holidays I spent a lot of time re-evaluating, as if I haven't been in the weeks prior but since I wasn't working I had a lot more free time to think. When I was younger and fabulously fit my mom often reminded me how hard I worked to look that way. I remeber every time she would say that I would think to myself "I do?". It was never hard work and I took it for granted. Partly because I enjoyed what I was doing (working out etc) but also because I was lucky. I always thought it would be that easy. If I wanted to get into an extra fitted out-fit, it would take me a week, 2 max to have it fitting amazingly. The point is, that this time I KNOW how hard I will have worked (literally) to look the way I do and I will be proud of it but will also be empathetic to those who struggle.
I saw part of the movie Soul Surfer last night, if she can overcome and WIN her obstacle I sure as hell can overcome some bad habits.

Talk is cheap. You'll see

Tonight is kick-my-ass-if-you-can with boot camp trainer .... prepare to hear me scream

[righter]

Hey, chickness!!!!

Glad to find ya here! Sub'd.

Is this the same boot camp you did this past fall?

Was pretty good, if I remember right ... I would not want to be outside right now, though.

It is cold as Eff here. Can't even imagine what the temp is up there!

Yep same boot camp but it will be indoors until it gets warmer out. Yesterday was -22 Celsius ... frickn freeeeezing. Today is -9 but tomorrow will be 5 ....our weather is so messed! lol Hardly any snow though YAY!



Last night I met with trainer Angie (yea she is going to be training me one on one once a week when bootcamp starts. Right now we are meeting when we can). Last nights work out was a good one. My cardio sucks - we both agreed lol - so we will be working on that too. I was happy to hear that she said I had a nice shape I just need to lose some fat in some spots and I'll be rockn
Here is last night's workout....not in order....



Ran through this twice

Treadmill
Run 5min @ 5.0
Walk 2min
Put incline to 3.5 at 3.2 pace
Lifting weights at the same time 8lbs, hammer curls,shoulder press,overhead tricep extension.

W.G. Lat pulldowns 40x12
reverse, close grip lat pull downs 40 x12
Warrior III into crunch with 5lbs x 10/side
Get up with 8lbs x10 per side (like a Turkish get up but no use of other hand or knee - go from flat back to standing)
Wood chops x 12 per side (I didn't pay attention to weight)

Voila! Bootcamp starts in 6 days!!! I really don't think it's going to be any easier lol since every Tuesday is "cardio killer" and mine sucks lol

Angie is great to train with and it helps that she is as fit as I want to be, will be but she's not intimidating at all. She looks sweet but man, she can kick yer butt lol.

Nice work, CF....for your effort, how about a flower:

Thanks fellas!

No that avi is from a couple years ago. I am blonde right now. I seriously need to get my roots done (I have the reverse skunk thing going on) but want to break up the blonde. I'm thinking of doing chunks of low lights (I saw a girl in the audience of Ellen yesterday with how I want my hair lol).

[cactusflower]

Srsly?!?! The phone will NOT stop ringing! Argh! I'm the only one here plus I have 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 things to do .... arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

[smharris1971]

Morning CF! Hope your day is less hectic today!

Fired up Pandora this morning and the first song playing is....

Monster! LOL

Hope you have a great day!!

[smharris1971]

Thought this was a good song to keep you pumped and motivated! Had to share.

[cactusflower]

I like the song!!! *two thumbs up*

Training with Ang tonight.....another rear kicker to be had

I think I have figured out my schedule for non boot camp days and they include yoga and zumba The intention is to have one day off (Wednesdays) hump day break Woot woot.

This is EXACTLY how it feels when training with Angie one on one and during boot camp: I LOVE this pic!!!

This seems like a good plan. So Boot Camp on M and Th and the other activities on Tu and F or something like that?

Love it. Well worth remembering by all of us.
