A Week in Review

So! God is just amazing at answering prayers and giving you all the tools you need to reach your goals when you ask for it. i said i wanted to get serious about my lifestyle change as well as losing weight, but was hitting a few walls here and there. that is until my ace boon diva Carrie called me Monday and asked if i wanted to go to Planet Fitness with her. it would have been simple to say "naw, the weather sucks and it's cold outside," but something spoke to me and said "why not?" so we went and i followed her routine: light warm up stretching, 30 long crunches, 3 minutes of donkey kicks, 20 minutes on the elliptical and 20 minutes on the treadmill. we were there for about an hour or so and topped it all off with 5 minutes on the Hydro Massage Tables which i am now going to have to invest in one day lol. i've went to the gym with her Monday through Thursday, even joining our friend Nicci to do the 30 minute [circuit] workout which alternates between 10 steppers and 10 training machines; each workout for a minute with 30 seconds rest in between [so in reality, it's actually only 20 minutes working out with 10 minutes of resting, but it's all still very in depth and powerful]. having been there for these last 4 days, i am in love with Planet Fitness and i'm planning to get a membership next week while it costs only $12 [i've been getting in free with Carrie's guest pass].

Today i went grocery shopping for fresh vegetables [snap peas, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, avocados, lettuce & cucumbers], a little fruit [apples, pineapples, mangoes, grapes & strawberries], rice cakes, some Yoplait yogurts and granola cereal to eat as opposed to my usual junkiness. next round will be soups, tuna, salmon, tilapia, turkey & chicken [ground and actual], leafy greens, peppers, more fruit, crackers and baked crisps. I have to buy some more of my Nature's Way Alive! Women's Multivitamin and Omega 3-6-9 to take daily as well as psyllium husk and bentonite clay [both from Vitamin Shoppe] to take as a colon & Candida cleanse [sn: i will be doing a separate post all about Candida soon]. I've started the Slim in 6 workout today and will continue with it for weeks to come in addition to going to the gym and performing some of the workouts on my previous blog post alternately. i am just too excited about this set in regime and am anticipating even more the final outcome. Stay tuned for my update in 2 weeks people. BIKINI OR BUST 2013!!!!!!!!!
