BODY: each and every single week I surprise myself with what I say I CAN'T DO to what I CAN ACUTALLY DO. my waist is getting smaller and what female doesn't want that! those whacky jacks....torture but I love what they are doing to my love handles! (oh and the cutting down of sugar helps too lol) I realized in the beginning of doing the test group I was dressing super tomboyish to the point where my sister was like ok...i thought i only had one brother (smh...at myself lol). I have always felt comfortable in wearing baggy clothes because it hid my chunkiness but in reality it just made me look even more chunky than what I already was lol. I felt comfortable and I didn't care but then after 60 days of doing bootcamp its like...ummm...yea i cant dress in baggy clothes cuz they make the exercises a lot more complicated then what i need them to be. So now i'm dressing a little more girlie...well for me thats a HUGE change lol I've been a tomboy as long as I can remember. I still have my tomboyish ways but thats just cuz I can't seem to let it go and it feels weird getting clothes smaller than what I am used to. for the longest i was a size 6-8...then stayed at a 6...and was comfortable there but now it's like yea size 6...is no longer my best friend...we are parting ways and i'm saying hello to my new best friend...size 4! yaaaay! still a flabby 4 but I can fit into them without fat going where it shouldnt lol soooo siced! :)
LEARNING: I'm learning to just be happy with myself. It's been quite a struggle for me to keep the weight off. like a HUGE struggle. I've gone basically my whole life being a little fatty.I settled with being that way. I didn't care what people used to think about me or what i used to eat. I still don't but I'm glad that I was able to change my ways NOW then wait god knows how long to change my ways: mental and physical. What I eat now isn't what I used to eat 3 months ago. I used to eat McDonald's at least once a month, domino's once a month, the delicious jumbo slices on 18th street (oh how yummy they were and i'm sure they still are lol) I cant dare eat that now! I'm not going to lie and say I'm a BIG health freak because I would be lying. I dont eat greasy foods at all. I learned my lesson last week when I had a pupusa. No more greasy foods, absolutely none! I cut down eating greens because I ate them every single day and thought OMG I'm going to turn into broccoli soon! lol but hey baby steps man! If you wana to shed the weight...you got to start not only by exercising but eating healthy. I remember seeing commercials about you are what you eat...I remember someone having a donut on their butt and I was like ewww! lol but it's true....YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! if you want a sexy body, feel good, be energized....you gotta eat healthy! oh and drink water! tons of it! I cut down on my water intake but then I realized my body needs it! like i said before...its good for the skin! :)
OBSERVATIONS: same as it is every single wk...positive positive positive vibes from everyone! it's just awesome! :) This past weekend I learned a lot in a matter of i think 2.5 hours being with THAT team. I saw how everyone was motivating each other to keep on pushing! everyone was beyond motivating! it was great! and that's what WE all do for each other whether it's through pictures, a comment, or blogs. WE give each other that push we have always needed since day one! All I can say is that you guys are all great! :)
GOALS: as always push push push! After Saturday's workout...psshhh...I KNOW I can push a lot more! lol...soreness is a sign of kicking ass and man! i'm sore! lol I WILL give it 100% til the last day...you will see little debbie (thats what i call my inner fatty) cry! oh and today I ran with my sister 4.8 miles...not in the time I wanted but hey...i did it! (almost ran to National Airport! lol never thought I was ever gonna do that!) going to push everything to the max!
with all that said...wk 9! let's gooooooo! :)
Gushing with pride! I remember that young woman I spoke to for the first time 53 or so days ago. She was a bit insecure, self-doubting, but wanting a change. You committed then an it's so great to see how you've made those few small changes we talked about. I always talk about connections and when you finally start seeing them....well, it's like when Neo finally saw the Matrix!!! When he realized he was the one. Remember that? That's you right now! You're matrix is your true self and seeing how the physical must work hand in hand with the spiritual....magic will happen! And I'm hoping I'm blessed enough to see it!!!!!
