Excercising...a update

Hi everyone, just wanted to post an update on me. Got a terrible cough last Thursday so I took it as a day off for me to rest the body, but I ended up taking 4 days off not happy with that but I am back again. Still have a cough & since I started to do RIU I noticed a pain in the back of my neck, I think it's from the stomach excercise part, I am already tired out by that part that I am struggling to complete it & as stubborn as I am I will do it until it's all over even if my muscles are burning...lol


So today I am going to step back & do SIU for 3 days to kickstart the body again for the 4 days off & work back to RIU...I know it's a step back from where I was but the one thing I learn that you need to listen to your body. Plus, my hubby who does PT everyday (his a soldier) says that even though you are on a program you need to listen to what your body says but always remember to don't quit & drive on...lol

So I am going to continue to push play & reach that bikini body!

Have a great workout everyone!

Excercising Workout 6...Ramp It Up!

Okay, can anyone say "OUCH!" Oh my gosh, my ass and whole body is hurting! My ass was burning when she said get on all fours and lift your leg back! I was like "you want me to do what now!" I thought I was going to die! My ass was on fire! Sorry, I don't mean to use the word "ass" in this post, but it was on fire! I was doing good and I was like, hey I can do this! Until it came to the "ass" workout! After all this burn, I better have a fine looking "ass" and that is JUST MY 2 CENTS!

Excercising Workout 5...

Okay, yesterday was workout 5 for me and I feel strong today. I am not counting down the time before it ends; I am actually working out and enjoying the burn. The biceps and triceps are not burning that bad when I first started. Which is a good thing and I am glad. The thighs are not burning too bad, but I still hate the lunges! It still hurts a little but becoming more manageable. I think I am ready for the next DVDs.


If you don’t know what workouts I am using, it is the Slim in 6 workouts from BeachBody. It claims that you will be tone and fit by the 6 week. So I am doing this workout to see how it goes and if it actually works. If you want to see more go to www.beachbodycoach.com/islandiva

You are supposed to measure yourself before you start, but I didn’t do this. I am not good at measuring, especially myself. So I am basing myself on my clothes and not the scale. Okay, I admit I do weigh myself but I try not to if I can. But, you’re only human and the mind is so curious you will be surprise how much you do weigh yourself. Also, my diet is not that great and I am not following the plan that comes with it. I am just watching what I eat and try; TRY to stay away from the sweets! Which is not that hard once you start working out and you see that your body is feeling good, you really are conscious on what you put in your body? It’s funny how the mind does that to you. When I wasn’t exercising, I would eat the sweets and chips like nothing. Now, I don’t crave it and even though I have a “wanting to eat but not hungry feeling” I don’t go for the junk food. I stop and see if I am really hungry and try to eat something healthy & by the time of the second bite, its goes away. So I guess you will call that emotional eating! LOL Usually drinking a glass of diet soda, water, or water & crystal light helps with that feeling.

So on Monday, I am going to the next DVD “Ramp it Up!” and it is I believe 48 minutes, I think 20 minutes or so longer than the first DVD “Start it Up!” but if I made it this far, might as well feel the burn again. According, to the plan you should do this for 2 weeks, but work out for 6 days each week with a day off. I guess we will see how much I push play! Hmmm, I wonder if my butt will hurt after this workout.

I guess what I am trying to do here is to see what the results will be if you don’t follow their plan and do it your way, I guess we will see and that is JUST MY 2 CENTS!

To workout or not to workout...

Did you ever look in the mirror and said "I'm fat and I need to work out?" Well, I do it all the time and I try to avoid mirrors so I won't hear myself say that over and over and over again!

So we are going home in December and I made a vow over and over and over again to work out and lose the weight, since August and it’s the middle of September and nothing is going on! I don't have the motivation to workout, to do moves that I will know will hurt the body so much and that I will be saying "OUCH!" over and over and over again. Now who wants that? I know I don't, but I don't want to be fat! Okay, I am not fat but since the hubby has been home I gained 10 pounds and I think maybe 2 or more and I don't want that. Losing all the pregnancy fat wasn't all for nothing. Plus, when I go home I want a tattoo! Always wanted one and I would like to have one when we go home. So hopefully I will get there, HOPEFULLY!

Okay so today I started and I was lacking the energy and the motivation to even do it. But, I keep thinking I want to lose the weight. Be in my size 7 jeans again! Feel good in my own skin. So I sweated and the body was hurting! Screaming what are you doing? Stop hurting me? But hearing that, I know I don't want to hear those words. I want to hear "Come on baby, feel the burn!" I want to feel good and not so tired. That is why I am doing this. I am pushing myself and it’s hard. But I did it before and I know that I can do it again. So whoever wants to join on this ride, comment me and "WE CAN DO IT! and that is JUST MY 2 CENTS!
