Post #3- Transformation

From Flab to Fit, Foxy, & Fabulous!

This Past week was challenging when it came to sticking to my guns! I had a lot of fun activities that went on between work and my social life. I attended a potluck and decided to bring something healthy that I knew I could eat. So, I brought a fruit salad that was sweet and full of color!!! When I placed it on the table for some reason my eyes went to everything else but the "healthy" thing I brought. As I stood there and looked all these thoughts came rushing through my mind. Maybe I will just eat that slice of cake, a little piece of pizza, some pasta salad, and a few potato chips and then be satisfied :)!!! Thankfully, I realized I needed to pinch myself... & pinch HARD! Seriously, what exactly would I be satisfying? That voice in my head that I keep having this battle with because it's influencing me in the wrong direction. I reached in my pocket for my iPhone and took a good long look. I had transferred some "before" pictures of me to my phone. As I looked at these pictures of myself I was reminded of this transformation I am currently going through. Telling myself that I am unstoppable and that junk food isn't going to ruin me or that awesome cardio workout I put in today! I have worked hard for those lower numbers I saw on the scale and tape measure this week. I do not need to make unhealthy food an option anymore.

My good friend has taught me how to fight that voice of my inner demon and how to transform my negative thinking patterns into positive ones! It's hard sometimes to find that support, but if you have friends who are willing to cheer you on and help it makes all the difference. I recommend you take advantage of CkCoaching.co to help you transform!

Good luck this week!

I have found a new Love for working out this past week! I really focused on my cardio and after looking back I put in 527 minutes of cardio. It wasn't so bad because I was able to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while working on my transformation. Being outside and hiking, jogging, swimming, etc. is my favorite place to workout. It seemed like a lot to me, but then I realized I was lacking a little in one area this past week. Weightlifting!

I must say I owe my friend CK a lot of credit. A few years ago I did Body For Life with CK and he taught me the value of lifting weights to help tone my body! It was a great learning experience for me because it taught me all the different kinds of exercises I can do for weight training. Having learned those skills from CK previously I began to wonder, What is currently holding me back? I already have the tools I need for weightlifting in the gym.

So, as I tried to talk myself into going to the gym today and lift some weights I realized something huge. I have a fear of lifting weights! Well... not exactly lifting weights, but being in a gym in front of all those "people" who are just sitting there watching me trying to get my big butt on machines or picking up weights. At this point I needed a reality check! LOL. Somehow I convinced myself to roll over to the gym. When I walked in and looked around I soon realized that nobody was looking at me. They were all focused on their workouts! However, if they were looking it was more then likely they were probably wondering what the hell is wrong with that girl who is just standing there? She needs to get on that machine!! LOL. Well, I'll tell ya what... I never ran to a piece of weightlifting equipment so fast! As I started to workout I thought, All these people are doing the same thing I am. If anything I should be proud of myself for getting off the couch and into the gym! I am ready to face my fears full force and continue to work through them so I can be Fit, Foxy, & Fabulous!!!

Happy Weightlifting

I'm an average 30 year old girl who needs to shed a few pounds, well lets be honest-more then a few! LOL. I am using each day to figure out Life, Love, and success! Each day is a gift and I have decided that the time is NOW. My goal and desire is to find the tools on how to get into great shape, find love & make lasting friendships!

As I sat in my bed this morning I took a moment to reflect on my current status of being single & overweight. I reminded myself that it's just exactly that, a status that I have given myself! I don't have to be that. I have the ability to change, accept where i am now & move forward.

Recently I had a great conversation with a close friend CK & it really motivated me to get my ASS going! He use to explain to me that I need to be grateful that I'm six feet above and can train today!!! I have the ability to lose weight, get unstoppable confidence, and easily date men. By working out and feeling good and confident about being in my own skin I am one step closer to being the 30 year old I so badly want! So I reminded myself of a few things I am grateful for.....

I am grateful that I have the ability to go run outside in mid February!

I am grateful that I have a nice pair of running shoes!

I am grateful that my friends are my motivators!

I am grateful that I can walk out my front door!

I am grateful that I can be HOT and SEXY!! (just like all of you)
