Push Play!
Hello fabulous people! I hope everyone is doing well and pushing play.
I have had several people ask me about doing something other than a Beach Body workout. And, the answer is, of course you can! I love my Beach Body workouts, but I also have a gym membership! Something you didn't know. I go to the UFC Gym and I love the place. I am there everyday. Beach Body got me moving, active. But, I wanted something else. I wanted more. When you start to do some of the extreme exercises like the P90 series and Shaun T's series, you want more of that kind of exercise, it's addicting. And, you generally want to see more people who are doing that type of exercise or you want to be with people who are doing that type of exercise. In my case, I wanted to be with other people.
I wanted to try Kickboxing, TRX, Boxing, Ropes, Pound and so on. Beach Body does not have these types of exercises or the equipment to facilitate this type of exercising. I also wanted to be around people who were as dedicated as I am about working out. I wanted to be around other people who were getting there and people who were there and working to stay there. It's very motivating! I have found classes that I like and do them on a weekly schedule. Of course, I also press play. The point being that it's good to get out and try other things. It keeps you from being board. Instead of doing another round of Insanity why not try boxing? You could try Kickboxing, it was not my thing, but, I had wanted to try it and now I know. However, I love TRX! I have a Pound class on my schedule to try this week, as well as, a Yoga class.
Working with a trainer once in a while is a good thing. We sat down and talked about what I had done, what I wanted to do, where I was going and my nutrition. I tweaked my nutrition after talking to him. And, after my first workout with him I was so sore the next day I wanted to kill him! He worked other muscle groups that did not get worked in the home DVDs. But, I went back. I had to. The best way to fix soreness is to workout again. . .just not so hard the next day. The UFC gym has a hugh selection of weights! And, there's enough sets that I don't have to wait for my weight size.
So, please do try other things. It will keep you from getting board. You will meet new people, make new friends and get more motivation. I tell ya' I'm lovin' my arms and abs! It is simply a continuation of what I was doing at home. It's a beautiful thing to be around people who have the same goal as you, to be able to talk to them and give each other motivation. We had a new guy in the TRX class and I just looked over at him, he was trying so hard and he was completely out of shape. But, just my saying "you can do it, keep trying" was enough to help him not quit and keep pushing. Having the guys in my boxing class say "your doing fine, just keep trying, you'll get it" is awesome! Motivation. Someone else giving you the courage to keep going is powerful and we all need it at some point. Keep pushing play, but find other ways to keep growing. It's healthy.

We all need a little treat every now and then. Here's a great Pineapple Mock tale for you!
Paradise in Pineapple
Put into a blender:
1 1/2 C diced fresh pineapple
1/2 C sliced banana
1/2 C of ice
3/4 C each of pear juice and pineapple juice
puree it for 30 seconds or until smooth.
I like mine a little chunky, so I puree for less time. I also have a frozen cup that I pour it into so it stays nice and cold. ENJOY!

Back In The Saddle!!
Get Back In It!
HELLO EVERYONE! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I certainly did and I ate my fair share of all those wonderful goodies that are homemade from scratch. Including my famous Pineapple Upside Down cakes! So, now that we have all had our fill of holiday eating it's time to get back on track. Time to get BACK IN THE SADDLE, BABY!
I am waiting on T25 the new Shaun T workout. I can't wait! But, until it gets here I am still doing my hybrids and hitting it hard. My nutrition is back on track, not that I was that far off. I did really well, didn't gain a pound. It was just maintenance. I will tell you that I have cut more carbs and am practically eating no processed sugar at all. Ahhhhh, I love my breads! Sourdough, being my favorite.
It's also time to do a cleanse. Gotta get rid of anything still in the gut that might be clogging things up! I have a nice cleansing drink for you down below. Now, If some of you are like me and you have a very busy job and you can't get out to do your business when it needs to be done, then just do a weekend cleanse. There are some of you that have medical concerns about doing a cleanse, check with your doctor first. I know a few peeps who are diabetics and just can't do a cleanse during the week, we need our meals. I do my cleanses' on the weekend so I can adjust if I have to. I do NOT risk my health at ANY time and neither should you.
The answer to the question "What diet pill or supplement do you use"? is this. I don't. I've lost over 130 pounds and I do NOT use any diet pills or supplements. I have a legitimate meal replacement and it's a whole meal replacement. And, I take a vitamin every day. You can do it without diet pills, it just takes a little longer. I work for it. I know I'm repeating myself on some of this, but people are asking, so I'm just going over some old information. At this point I'm almost a vegetarian! But, I never really did eat a lot of red meat. And, yes, I do eat McDonalds' once in awhile. It's just not a main stay in my diet. It's more of a treat.
OK, people, so to move on you should all consider this. . .SUMMER IS COMING! Summer bodies are made in the winter. It's time to take stock of what you want to look like when it's time to start showing off that summer skin. I want a new bathing suit, possibly a bikini and I want to get a spray tan for the first time ever. I want to wear a tank top and show off my cut arms. Most of you know I had a thing about my arms, I'm almost there at, what I would consider, perfection for my arms.
Everyone have a great week. Get started, get back in the saddle.

Muscle and Nutrition
Nutrition
Hello to you all today. Sorry, I've had some internet issues, but I'm back and here we go!
I have two issues to address today. The first is regarding building muscle. Muscle burns fat. This is a fact. If you work out with weights you are getting slimmer because your getting tighter. your muscles are getting tight. If your lifting weights then you need to eat. The recommendation is that you eat every two to three hours. I can't do it. I can eat when I'm hungry or I can have a snack, but a meal, even a small one, I cannot do. As a Beach Body coach we recommend Shakeology. It is one of the best meal replacements out there. It has the backing of doctors. I do not use it. Not because it's not a good product, but because it is processed on equipment that also produces shellfish products. I am allergic to shellfish. I decided to not take the chance that the machinery is not well cleaned one day. There is also a Vegan version of Shakeology. But, since I cannot seem to get an answer as to how it's processed I do not use it. I have had people email me and ask what to use instead of Shakeology that is not so expensive but still has good qualities as a meal replacement. So, what do I use instead of Shakeology? Well, GNC has a great tasty shake called Lean 25. I was using this. It's an awesome replacement, tastes good and there are no allergy issues with the mix. Unfortuneately, they discontinued the individual packets. I like these because I can take them with me. They taste wonderful. I really like the idea of using something organic (yes, organic girl here). I have found Garden of Life.
Garden of Life is a great product. It comes in a natural flavor so I can mix it in with my fruit smoothies and not have it overpower the drink. You actually don't taste it. They also have a vanilla and a chocolate that tastes really good. It's affordable about $20 for the small canister and it lasts. I use it everyday. Here's one of the great things about it. On the label it says "Raw, vegan, certified organic, dairy free, lactose free, soy free, no fillers, no synthetic nutrients, no artificial flavors or sweetners, no preservatives, no pea protein". This stuff is the real deal. Oh, and if you need fiber this stuff is wonderful. I can't even tell you how well it works to help empty the bowel system.
If you are working out regularly then you need nutrition, even if your not working with weights. It gives your body something to do. It keeps you full and your metabolism moving. If you add a weight workout to your weekly routine you will notice your muscles responding quickly. They are waiting for attention. It dosen't matter what workout your doing, add in some weights. For those of you who are hitting my age, 50, remember this, this is when we start to notice loss of muscle tone. Are your arms still waving goodbye after you stop waving? The only way to keep your muscle is to build it and feed it. It keeps you in shape, helps to stave off weight gain and keeps you looking great in your jeans!

Are You in Hybernation Mode?
A Way Out Of Hibernation!
Hibernation, the reason we don't see bears and other animals all winter. We also experience a hibernation. As winter goes on and it gets cold and rainy we tend to stay inside more. We eat a heavier diet to satisfy ourselves and we sit in front of the t.v. or the fireplace. We stop moving! We are content to stay in our nice warm cocoons. This is great. . .if your a bear. A bear sleeps all winter. He eats what he needs to survive the long cold days and nights. If we did this we would gain more weight than we want. And, in fact, a lot of us do! So, what to do?
Do not hibernate! Use the time indoors to get your workout done, even an extra workout. your body still has the same need to move. Eat foods that are filling, but don't make you want to eat more than your used to. For instance, I make home-made chicken noodle soup. It's completely awesome! But, I don't need to eat more than a cup and I have these great soup mugs, so I can easily see how much I'm eating. I also do my regular workout and I'll do a shorter work out in the evening just so my body can move. Not to say that I don't watch t.v, but I try to keep moving.
I also start thinking about summer! I actually love the winter and all the winter sports I partake in. But, summer will be here sooner than we think! And, with summer comes summer clothes! Bathing suits, shorts, tank tops. . .and I'm not willing to let my muscles get soft over the winter. I do not want to start from square one to get into summer shape again. Your summer shape starts in the winter. . .December or January.
Some people start to saying it's too cold, I just don't feel like it, I don't want to change into workout clothes. sound familiar. Here's a little number for you 1.73%. If you work out just an hour a day it's only 1.73% of your day. Anyone has that much time. Here's another excuse for you. I don't have the time. Well, most of you know I'm a BeachBody Coach. There are plenty of BeachBody workouts that take only 30 minutes of your time. T25 is only a 25 minute workout! The new P90X3 is only 30 minutes. . .30 minutes people! Hip Hop Abs has some great workouts and they take from 45 to 20 minutes. OK, now whats your excuse? Wouldn't it be great to start the Spring with a new toned body. While all your friends are saying "I have to loose this 20 pounds I gained over the winter", you'll be showing off a nice toned, trim, in shape body that's almost beach ready!
I'm on my last month of Chalene Extreme, a weighted workout. I can't wait to be finished. I've already gone from a size 22 to a 10. I will be beach ready! I will not hibernate! Will you be ready?

Don't Trust The Numbers
Be Your Own Inspiration
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday. If you fell off the wagon, so to speak, you can get back on. No harm, no foul. We all did! Yes, I love my Pumpkin pie and I made at least three Pineapple Upside Down Cakes! Yes, I was spreading the weight gain train! Here was my experience this weekend with my own body and my own body image.
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday. If you fell off the wagon, so to speak, you can get back on. No harm, no foul. We all did! Yes, I love my Pumpkin pie and I made at least three Pineapple Upside Down Cakes! Yes, I was spreading the weight gain train! Here was my experience this weekend with my own body and my own body image.
Do you follow the numbers on your scale? I hate scales and never use one. This is the reason why. This weekend was the busiest shopping weekend in the nation, right? So, I decided that I should stop looking like some shlump and get some clothes that actually fit my body. I was a size 22 and I still see myself in that body. But, I finally had to see myself as I NOW am. Everything was so big on me! My legs are so toned and they were swimming in these oversized jeans. I had all these xtra large shirts and I just looked really sloppy, like I didn't care about myself.
I went out to the outlets here in california and my favorite jeans store, Levis, was having an awsome sale. I haven't worn Levis since I was a size 8 in my 20s'. I went in and the sales lady actually had to explain the different types of jeans to me, curvy, straight curvy, slight curve, etc. It was almost embarrasing. I explained to her that I had lost 130 pounds and was not sure what size I was now wearing. She helped me find my size and I went from a size 22 to a size. . .ready. . .drum roll. . .10! This is why I don't trust my scale and why I don't own one. I trust my body.
Trust your body, trust your clothes, trust what you see in the mirror!
Sorry for the small print. I copied and pasted a post I made on my BeachBody site.
Remember, as always, you can follow my journey or you can join me!

Always Happy To Be Me
Get Addicted To This!
My favorite artist is Salvador Dali. I love his surreal art. One of my favorite pieces is The Metamorphsis of Narcissus. It's such a beautiful piece. One of my favorite quotes comes from the man himself;
"Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure,
That of being Salvador Dali".
I love this! He is happy to be him. I am happy to be me. With everything in life, I am happy to be me. I can be no one else. People will criticize what you do and how you do it no matter what. I have been criticized for joining BeachBody and trying to help people loose the weight without going to surgery. There are so many people out there that want to loose weight the natural way that I feel like I am filling a need. The diet for weight loss surgery is basically mush. And, you have to eat it for weeks! If you can do something by not having surgery then, as far as I am concerned, it should be tried. The natural way is always harder. But, you have to look at weight loss in this way. You didn't wind up this way overnight and it's not going to be an overnight fix. You have to be dedicated to yourself. If you don't do it for yourself then it won't work. You have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with someone else or before you can make someone else happy. I mean truly happy. The people I have spoken to are surface happy. They are not deep down happy. They all say the samething "something is missing". I'm not a psychiatrist or even in the mental health profession, but I do know this. . .happiness is something we give ourselves.
I am happy with myself. Yes, I have been a fuck up. I have made mistakes and I have even hurt a few people along my path, never intentionally. But, in the long run I've done the best I can and I have made myself happy with my decisions. I am the type of person who is honest. . .no matter what. I will tell you the truth and my true close friends appreciate that quality in me. I'm not going to tell you the dress looks awful on you. I would never hurt your feelings, but I will tell you it's not to my liking, if it makes you happy thats great. These are my rules for me:
1) Tell the truth. Theres less to hide.
2) Do not be a hypocrite, do not invite hypocrites into my space.
3) Do not invite someone you do not like to a party, your being a hypocrite for the sake of a possible gift.
4) I either like you, dislike you or am indifferent to you.
5) I do not stop anyone from living their lives. If you think I stopped you, you are mistaken.
6) If you ask my opinion you will get it. . .truthfully.
7) If I called you a shithead I meant it.
8) If you have the answer to stop someones suffering and you don't give it up, your a shithead.
9) I do not ever hurt someone for the sake of hurting them. If you think I did, you are mistaken.
10) I do what I do for a reason and I never back something I do not believe in! EVER!
That being said I am a BeachBody coach becausse I believe in it. Yes, I have questions and some problems with some of the things that they do. But, all in all they are a great comapny and they help alot of people, one of them was myself. The link is at the top. . .check it out!
Here is my weekly receipe for you. If any of you actually try these receipes I would LOVE some feedback!
Coconut Banana Bread
1 cup coconut oil
2 cups sugar
1 can (5 1/2 ounces) crushed pineapple with juice
4 eggs
1 ripe banana, mashed
4 cups flour
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 teaspoons baking power
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350. Stir coconut oil and sugar together. Mix in pineapple with juice, eggs, and the banana.
Add the flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pour the batter into two greased and floured 9" x 5" loaf pans. Bake about 60 minutes or until knife stuck into the center comes out clean. Cut loaf in to 1/2 inch slices. Each slice will contain about 1 tablespoon coconut oil.
