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!

Asylum Update

If you are checking back to see my results from doing Insanity Asylum then I must apologize because I have not been able to start the program.  I completed the fitness assessment on May 9 and thought I was was going to start the next day, but that did not happen.  There has been one thing after another that has required my attention so I  kept putting off my start date.  I was ready to put it off again but I committed to start May 30 or June 1st on the Facebook page for Insanity the Asylum Women.  I lead by example so I will stick to my commitment and start on June 1.  That gives me two days to get prepared and I am going to need both of them.  Be sure to check back as I will be posting videos after each of the workouts the first week but also a check in halfway through and at the end.  Stay tuned for more information!

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?

Start 2011 Off Right!

Have you made another resolution to get in shape with the start of the new year?  Instead of making a resolution, adopt a new way of life.  Make your mind over to live a healthier life; that's what I did and I LOVE IT!  I will admit, working out regularly is not easy, but it makes you feel better and you will definately love the results!

I am pumped and looking forward to the release of Shaun T's Insanity Asylum in February 2011!  To get ready mentally I am starting another round of Insanity on Monday, January 3, 2011.  I'm looking for as many as possible to join me.  If you don't have yours yet, order it today so you can get in on the action!   This 60 day body conditioning program will change your life and you will get the Insanity Fast and Furious bonus cd!  Most importantly, it will help prepare you for the next step, Asylum!
