Muscle Building Foods

Working out is not easy, and neither is dieting. So I don't diet. I simply control my portions, and I incorporated some clean eating habits.

Here are a few items that I've grown to like. Salmon is a great source of energy boosting creatine. This fatty fish is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which may increase strenght, and slow down loss of muscle mass. Lean beef is packed with muscle building protein, they also contain micro-nitrients that are essential to building muscle. Drinking milk after working out, builds lean muscle mass faster than a soy protein drink. These are just a few. Try yogurt, green tea, broccoli, spinach, oats, and turkey.

Feeling Much Better

Exercising early in the morning is key to starting my busy day off right. I have more energy, I'm relaxed,and my day just tends to go by smoothly. My current weight is 181lbs. My focus is now my abs. So my program is now weight training 3 days a week, and double cardio sessions 5 days a week. When I say double cardio, I do one session in the morning, and another one in the evening. I've cut nack on my portions, and drinking more water. My next step is clean eating. When I do cardio, I switch up. I do P90X cardio, Kenpo, and Plyo. I also do the Biggest Loser dvd. I get my kids envolved by doing Dance Central, or Michael Jackson Experience on the Kinect. Switchimg up my workout keeps me from getting bored. I have free weights at home. I really enjoy working out at home.

What Is Going On With Me

For the past 4 months I've been down. My confidence was gone, I stopped exercising,was eating fast food all the time. Started having problems with my boyfriend, and became lazy. Well bump all that. I'm about to be 35 in 2 months, and I need to get it together. I weigh 185.8lbs,and I want to get to 145lbs.I want to have a complete life and body transformation. I set a small 30 day goal. I bought a book titled Eat Your Way To Sexy , by Elizabeth Somer,M.A.,R.D.. 30 minute workouts, 5 days a week. I will try to leep it updated. My computer is down, so I will be blogging from my cell. Luv & Blessins

Slim Without The Gym

I don't know why, but I prefer to workout at home. I have P90X, and Biggest Loser dvds, and I have a schedule that I have made so that I won't get bored, and that my body won't hit a plateau. I want to lose 20 lbs, and I don't want to pay a gym membership, because it's not in my budget.

My home gym consists of dumb bells, pull up bar, dvds, and a jump rope. So see there is no excuse for me not working out. I rather workout early in the morning before I get my day started. Today it didn't work that way cause I was dealing with getting my kids in order and out the door for school. So now that they are gone, and I'm off work today, I will workout for 45 mins, shower, and run my errands.

Todays workout will be Plyos from P90X, 75 sit ups, and 25 push ups, bicep curls, dead lifts, shoulder press, and squats. I really want to get back into running. When I was in high school, I ran track and cross country. I really enjoyed it. May be I should set a goal to do a small marathon....hmm. We'll see about that.  Stay tuned.

Slowly progressing.

So this evening I weighed myself and I'm 190.7, which is good, considering that I was 194 a couple of days ago.I really would like to challenge myself. I want to do a 90 day mind, body, and soul transformation.

I'm not happy with myself at the moment. I will be 35 years old this Sept, and I really need to get it together. I did the big chop on my hair 8 months ago, and that was me learning to love my hair, and stop hiding myself behind my hair. So now it is time for me to love my body, and to become more confident in myself. I need to believe in myself, and think positive thoughts. I know God is blessing me, and he wouldn't give me anything that I can't handle. So stay tune  as journey to discover a new me. My likes, dislikes, wants, needs, and desire. I will be happy again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stressed and Depressed

Here I am 194lbs....eating like crazy!!! Why? On the verge of losing my home, and scrambling to find a new one. I gotta get out of this stooper. I'm not so fly now, dealing with my personal problems. But I have to stay positive, and focus on getting it together.

Its not gonna be easy.... Lord knows it's not. I will start going to sleep early, workout at 4a.m., and than my mood will be better through out the day, and I can focus on getting a new place. Believe in myself even if no one else does. I will get through this.

I'm Back

Hello world! I've been away from blogging for some months, but I'm back. I stopped working out, and was pigging out. Well no more of that maddness. So going from 236lbs to 194 is not bad at all. My new goal is to get to 165lbs.

My plan to achieve this goal is 3 days of cardio, and 2 days of strength training. My diet plan is to eat more protein, no sodas, and to control my portions. I think 90 days is enough time to get rid of 29lbs. Stay tuned!
