Refocused - A Revived Fitness Journey

I have a confession to make, I have not been working out our eating they way that I should have been.  I am disappointed in myself, but I'm not giving up.  The most important thing you need to do when you fall down is to get back up and try again and that is what I am doing starting today!

I am renovating my lifestyle not dieting!  In order to be healthy you must think healthy and this starts with what you eat on a regular basis.  Being healthy is a mental challenge and requires you make your mind over.  So I made my mind over to make a change!

I went back to bootcamp at Fab Body Factory tonight and now I know how far off the path I have gone! So I am lacing up my Nike's and setting new goals.  Each small step forward is a victory and with the support I will receive from the wonderful group of women referred to as "TeamFabBody", I know I will succeed! Our team is led by Deanna Jefferson (a wonderful trainer) and her terrific assistant Nicole Gardner (who is a killer with the ab routines).  These ladies put together routines that are challenging but get you results and they cheer you on to make it to the end of each part of the workout.  Now that is motivational!

I am pumped and ready to go!  I know I may not be pumped to do too much moving in the morning but NO PAIN, NO GAIN!

Getting Back on Track

So the summer came and whisked my routine away quickly!  But it's time to get things back on track.  It's truly amazing to see how quickly my body reverted to storing fat once I started deviating from my exercise routine.  So I have made the commitment to myself to get things back in order starting November 1, 2011.  That being said, I have gone back to bootcamp with Deanna and I am limiting the amount of meat I eat.  I am reducing my meat intake to be 20% of my diet.  I did this successfully before and I actually loved it.  My diet consisted of lots of fruits and vegetables and seafood.  I'm really looking forward to trying out lots of vegetarian dished this fall and winter!  I recently found out my sister in law grows a ton of fresh herbs and vegetables so I'll be getting lots of fresh ingredients from her.  I can't wait until she gets her blog going about it.  Right now I have a pot of lemon basil I can't wait to try out on some salmon!  Anyway, stay tuned as I will be more active with blog entries and on YouTube with video postings and updates.

April Fitness Challenge

After working out at home inthe basememnt to get through the winter I started to loose my motivation and the love I had developed for working out.  So I decided to do a two day bootcamp in March to help renew my exercise mojo and it worked! I LOVE this all female bootcamp! Deanna Jefferson and her staff (Nicole Gee and Lisa Pilgrim) make working out an adventure! The sessions are on Tuesday and Thursday 7:00 PM - 8:15 PM for just $100 for the month! I am so hooked on this bootcamp. After 8 sessions in March my body fat percentage went down and I feel great about my progress and I am really impressed with the definition I am starting to see in my arms! As if this wasn't enough, there is a 3 hour co-ed "Warrior Workout" workout being held on Sunday, May 1 and my husband and I are looking forward to completing that together!  Click here for more details and to register.

Now, my personal fitness challenge for April not only involves the Fab Body Time bootcamp, but also involves completing 30 minutes of cardio EVERY DAY until the end of April and completing the PUSH Phase of ChaLEAN Extreme!  I want to see HUGE results by the end of the month so I am committing myself to working out six days a week to get the results I want.

It's not too late for you to get started either!  It's warming up outside so the sooner you start the better off you will be when it comes time to shed the long sleeve shirts and sweaters.  Loose that muffin top, tighten up those arms and abs.  Put the work in now so that you can be proud to take pictures in your bathing suit at the beach!  I WILL BE BIKINI  READY, will you?

FabBodyTime Bootcamp!

Today was day one of the fitness bootcamp with Deanna Jefferson and it was great!  I was starting to loose my motivation but this bootcamp will definitely help renew it.  Bootcamp is twice a week and I am combining it with ChaLEAN Extreme and I am expecting AWESOME results.  With clean eating and staying committed to my goals, I will SUCCEED!  Summer time is almost here and this year I will be bikini ready!  Join me at bootcamp http://www.myfitnessbootcamps.com and order your ChaLEAN Extreme DVD's to tone up at the same time.  Follow my fitness page on Facebook (B-Fit 4 Life) and get fitness tips and motivation for your own journey!
