Week 4 Bringing Buff Back


Now she did not have much weight to lose as I do.
But she still looks phenomenal!
Friday, June 17th 
Today is my first day back in the gym from my intestinal inflaming. It felt GREAT! I completed 40 minutes of cardio on an elliptical machine. After completed some additional stretching on one of their machines. I can feel the stretch all the way down my lower back.  My goal in 8 weeks is to restart Jackie Warner's 4 week workout! But first I have to iron out some issues.

I woke up extremely tight and sore. I started my day with Back Pain Yoga. The first pose where you put one leg on the other legs thigh, and try and grab your foot to stretch out. Oh Boy! I could barely touch my toes with only one hand LOL!! The second position where we put our feet together and bring them up to you. It felt like glass in my back and hips. The Lord of the Fishes pose, let me just say I can't really get into that position. I had to modify it to where I hold myself up with one arm and my hand holds my knee. LOL!! I kinda laughed when I found out how not flexible I am. The last pose was a Downward Dog, I was not able to really start from the beginning so I started it on the floor. It actually felt really good all 3 times. Today, I am going to take it easy and maybe go for a long walk.

Yes, its Father's Day. So Happy Father's Day to all the father's out there! I am a sore so today but I don't want to over do it just yet. Today, I will just go for a walk around my neighborhood. My friend came over for a bbq, and the minute she looked at me she asked me if I had lost weight. I am THRILLED, and looking forward to taking my pictures and seeing a difference.

This is the beginning of week 4! Do you know what week it is? At the end of this week its time to remeasure and weigh myself. I am not going to lie I am a little scarred with all of my intestinal issues that I have been having since week 2. But I will not let that scare me! What ever it is, it is what it is. I can only get stronger if I keep moving forward! But I won't do that until Sunday this week. So I have a few more days to get on with my program!
On my way to the gym this morning. My goal today is to push myself and complete 1 hour of cardio. I may have to move around from one machine to the next. I have today off, and I want to make the best of it for the time that I am setting aside for myself before I go do errands or choirs around the house. Then after the gym I will do all of my yoga stretches for my back which is really helping me out. I think we are going to have to incorporate 2-3 days a week to just yoga for 4 weeks.



My GOAL!


Never be afraid to try,

remember amateurs built the ark,

professionals built the Titanic.

My daughter had this saying in a picture frame in a box. Reading this gave me hope. I hope it does the same for you! 8-))

What is a good protein

What is a good protein to eat? Some say hot dogs, and some may say luncheon meat. So there is no good answer. When you you pick out a nutrition program to follow each one of them have something different that you can choose for a protein.  Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, meat eater, or whatever nutrition way that you follow there should be some guidelines to what is an excellent protein to  eat. First, let's start off with why we eat protein, and why we need it in our daily diets. You see our bodies are designed to use protein to build and repair tissues such as bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and let's not forget our blood needs protein too. Our bodies also uses protein to make enzymes, hormones, and other bodily chemicals.  Let's not forget about our hair. It is important to eat protein in order to keep some hair on our heads unless you have a hair or skin disease. Protein helps keep those hairs in their place. Well definitely for me at least LOL.

Week 1

Week 1 Week one is here, and here we go! Below is the list of 13 exercises that will be done 2x's a week on Monday & Thursdays (work best for my schedule), and the rest of the week will be cardio, and stretching. For the first two weeks the goal is to do one set of 20 for each exercise even if it has to be modified. It has to be done! Five days a week will be at least 30 minutes of cardio. Even if you do 10 minutes riding a bike, another 10 minutes walking, and the last 10 minutes on an elliptical. However you want to do your cardio just know it has to be done. The same thing with stretching you are going to need to stretch out your muscles to break up the lactic acid in which causes some discomfort when first starting out on an exercise program. Plus, we also need our joints to move around like they are supposed to and not tighten up as we move forward in life. But the good news is you have the weekends off! When you start a workout program do not over do ...

Finding Time

This week I completed 5 day's of working out for 25 minutes a day, and I lost -4 lbs this week! Have you ever just sat there to ponder about workout and making a healthy changes to your life? But you always come up with "I have no time". Let me share with you about my 25 minute program that you can complete in 5 days a week. It is so perfect because its only 25 minutes long. Now, I know with your busy schedule you can find 25 minutes to complete your workout. You could probably do this at lunch. Now, if you completed this at work you would probably have to go back to work all sweaty. LOL not the ideal way to return to work. But if you needed too in order to work on yourself...you could. You could probably find a coworker or two to join you.  Let's face it your health is not going to get any better with you dreaming about how you can change and never taking the steps to change. Mr. Disease does not show up and say "I see that you are busy I'll come ...
