Vacation OVER!!! NOW BACK TO MY GRIND!

Ok so...Vacay is over and now I need to refocus my energy on working out and eating correctly. Starting tomorrow I am going on a 30 Day Primal Diet Challenge. This should be very interesting.

Here is what PRIMAL is in a nutshell:( from http://www.marksdailyapple.com/about-2/mark-sisson/)

- fresh, organic, unprocessed food – no junk!
- daily activity – whether it’s the gym or a walk along the beach, it all counts
- plenty of quality sleep
- plenty of water, no soda or sweetened drinks
- antioxidants galore – the key to limiting stress
- a good fish-oil supplement
- lots of essential fats, reckless amounts of vegetables, and clean protein
- time for fun – don’t take anything too seriously – ethical behavior – because what goes around comes around
- taking responsibility for yourself and your life – openness to new things and ideas.

30 days of this... starting tomorrow. Wish me luck

I am going in a different direction...sort of?

I know I know it's been awhile and I haven't written in a minute. But there has been alot of distractions in my life. BUT anyway. I am going into a new fitness venture that I am really excited about. Its called CROSSFIT ( www.crossfit.com).

So you ask what is Crossfit?

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

I am currently on day 2 of my on-ramp training.

This is a very exciting adventure for me. Eventually I will do Crossfit 3 times a week.

To full understand what Crossfit is about check out this Youtube vids:






And I am super sore right now too!

All is well,

Goals for 2010

Happy New Years!!!

I wanted to start my first blog of the year with fitness goals for 2010. I feel like I need to clearly define some goals for myself. Fitness has become a bit of an obsession for me in the last couple of months. I have been all over the Internet reading and researching. So I think the best thing for me to do now is shut up and ACT!! SO before I get in my exercise for the day I wanted to write my goals.

1) Commit to working out 6 days a week. ( 3 days of strength( with 2 days of abs) and 6 days of cardio ( even if 20 mins of something)

2) Compete in a figure competition at the end of 2010

3) Drink 3-4 liters of water daily ( Revs up your metabolism by 33%)

4) Take a dance class twice a month

5) Run the Peachtree Road Race in July 2010

6) Get off my Diabetes meds by the end of 2010

7) To have my A1C below 6.

8) Eat more healthy foods and have a more consistent diet.

9) Knock our more of my mini rewards!!!!

Starting Over!!! DAY 2

OKAY.. I made it through to the 2nd phase of P90X. But I stop due to holiday and pure LAZINESS( more on the lazy side)!!! SO now I have started all over I am doing P90X Doubles... I need the extra cardio to get the fat off!!!

Day 2 - Plyo... IT killed me, but was a great workout! Loved every moment.

Eating- Its ok today. Need to get back on the horse with eating. I had a Power Protein Shake with Strawberries, bananas, whey protein, wheatgrass, supergreens, and my good oils ( flax, omega-3's, ect..) -- This shake was the highlight of my day. IT was great and tasted yummy.
