I like this.

These words totally pertain to me. Gosh, a good, balanced & healthy diet is such a huge part in this process!!!!!!!!
"YOU CAN'T OUT-EXERCISE A BAD EATING PLAN."
My working out can be on point, but if my eating isn't, then I'm wasting my time. That thought keeps me going. I'm not wasting any time here, folks! :) :)

Finished AM cardio, back workout after work, then hip-hop tonight!

Have a wonderful Thursday!!!!!!

Tuesdays Track Workout & Of course: TURBO!

Yesterday I did a WONDERFUL track workout. (No where near as tough as Jessica's, though, her's are crazy!) But I did a few rounds of stairs/lunges/squats/step-ups and threw a couple laps in just for the fun. Run forwards then turn around and jog backwards. Good stuff. Felt pretty good today!
YESSSSSS, for no morning cardio on Wednesdays!!!!!!!!! That was a welcomed break. I had 5 appointments today, now I'm getting ready to head for the gym to lift before I teach. Fun times!
Ohhhh boy, yesterday I also started my Hip-Hop class. It's just twice a week for four weeks and it's a LOT of fun! There are only nine gals in there and our first dance was to M.C. Hammer: Can't touch this! (That song will be in your head the rest of the day........)
Gotta bounce~
LOVE!!!!!!!

p.s. Thanks for the nice comments on my 13 week out pix. I honestly wish I could agree, but really: a tan & heels are to thank. I have my work cut out for me...........keep watchin :) :)

NEW DIET!

YAYYY!!!!!!!!!! New diets are always fun. I'm officially 12 weeks out, plus Prep week (so 13 weeks total) and we're doing diets every four weeks. This four weeks should be AWESOME. Great eats and tons of various cardio routines (Mike Davies does my Nutrition, and he does the cardio programs, too! By the way, he & his staff: AMAZING!)
Today I've done Shoulders & cardio, plus I'll do my evening cardio after work.
Feeling really great!
Hope everyone enjoyed their 4th! We were at the lake for a couple nights. I made an ice cream birthday cake for my bro-in-law. It was Sooooooooo good. Yes, I ate it! :)
That's all for now!
Later this week I'll get around to describing in detail what exactly I'm doing. Yes, a fitness competition, but what does that mean???? :) I'll go into more detail for those followers who don't understand it!

MUCH LOVE~

Stairs Pt. II

STAIRS

Had a WONDERFUL time at the Lake. We're heading back out there Friday morning for a few nights. Got my workout in while out there! It was hot, but I did it! I'm going to post a picture, but not until tomorrow. I did an AMAZING stair workout. Had my IPOD and just kicked it out. There are 50 total stairs with 2 lands, the first two sections are pretty steep. My goal was 15, (up AND down, singles then doubles) but went ahead and did 20. Not quite sure about my total time, but was sufficiently drenched & heartrate was pumpin.

Today I did morning cardio & shoulders this afternoon.

Tomorrow is morning cardio & chest/back.

It's almost JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
