DO IT!!! WERKKKKK
Sweat 5-6
So, After having my Power 90 Master Series for almost 2 weeks now, I finally burst those babies out and had my way with them! At first, I was really excited to work with them and couldn’t wait to get them and start the program immediately. But then, Life happened. I had an entire week of being on campus all day and then not getting home until 9 at night. So, yes, I fell off. I fell off hard....

The Paleo Diet... Is It for Me?
So, While I’ve been looking for posts about exactly it is I should be eating, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Cleaner I eat, the better off I will be! what do I mean by clean eating? I mean that by eating things that are unprocessed, free of chemicals and closest to natural and organic as possible is ideal. I know this to be clean eating from...
Power 90 Master Series
Did I tell you that I can’t do a pull-up? Yeah, it’s pretty tragic. I should be able to lift my own weight. But 230, Nah, can’t even do it! But, alas! There is help for me! A quick Google search has hipped me to some valuable info regarding preparing my body to be able to get it done.

Man, Last week I only worked out once.......
So, I haven’t posted on here in a minute and I feel bad about it! I was supposed to go work out and then upload pics from those workouts. Welllll…. From the lack of posting you can pretty much tell what happened. I only went to the gym campus once and did 3.5 miles on the elliptical. I Loved every minute of that workout, But I know I need to be moving and burning calories a minimum...

Insomnia
Insomnia is a big fat ugly ***** that won’t let me get any sleep! She keeps me up at ungodly hours which makes me want to eat bad things, therefore contributing to my fatness. Its 3 am… Why am I not sleep? Why those Oreos look so good? Why do I even have Oreos in my house to begin with? Le Sigh…

Stress and food...
I’m not gonna lie to you, I’m a self diagnosed emotional eater. When I say self diagnosed, I mean that after my own Internet research I believe I display all the classic signs of a person that runs to food for comfort. When I am stressed or sad I want all the bad, sweet, fried, cholesterol filled, gut busting food that I know I shouldnt have. Take for instance yesterday… I was so...

Friends and the workout grind!
( We sexy and we know it!!!)
SO… I love the fact that I am in this weight loss challenge with my friends! And I love it even more that I can count on them to help me stay motivated. This morning in the gym with one of BFFs was great. I was so excited that I did a little wiggle and gave her a high five while she was on the elliptical! Lol. Having that support system is important to me....

Diabeetus ( Diabetes)
Alright, So Paula Deen has announced to day that she has been living with Type 2 Diabetes for several years, but didnt want to come forward with it until she was able to capitalize off of it, “bring something different to the table.” Hmm….. A woman that cooks wit loads of butter, sugar, and oil has Diabetes…. NO WAY! (*insert sarcasm*) I can remember my first encounter...
Being lazy kills my diet.
When I don’t have class I am lazy as ever! I sleep alllll day long, which means that I don’t eat anything for an extended period. Even when I do wake up I get so lazy that I just lay in bed or on the couch instead of getting up and going to eat. Who does mess like that? I won’t even get up to get a glass of water. The depths of my laziness knows no limits. But this is a...

Breakfast. What to eat and when to eat it!
Okay so, I think this morning was a good one for me. The following Lil Wayne lyrics might sum it up for me. ” I wake up in the morning take a piss and wash my hands, take a knee and thank the Man, then get back to the money!” LOL! But all obscene lyrics aside, I actually had breakfast at a reasonable time this morning. I even had a big steaming cup of green tea sweetened with a lil...

Water??? Pshhh.... Where the JUICE at?
I am a sweet juice fiend. Although, I’m not to the point where I hate water ( thank God, cause I know people like that) I definitely prefer something sweet to drink with every meal and all those times in between. I’m that girl that can DESTROY a bottle of Simply Lemonade or Tropicana juice. Dang on shame, I know! For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved syrupy drinks....
Seeing the numbers on the scale....
Okay so…. My weight is outta damn control. But I resent those numbers on that scale. I resent them because they are soooo unsexy. When I look in the mirror I don’t see some obese beast that looks unfortunate and is cramming food in her mouth all day everyday. Quite the contrary… I feel like I look damned good. Not that men are the barometer for how I feel about myself, but...

Not another New Year's Resolution...
Howdy folks! It’s 2012 and I am finally ready to take control of my weight, health, and life in general. As the title says, despite the time of year that I’m doing this, the inspiration behind “What Motivation Looks Like” was not born out of some half-assed new year’s desire to lose weight. I am at a place in my life where I feel like I need to finally get in shape...
