Week 4 Vision Board


Seeing changes makes me a believer!
Personally, I am starting out on the far right side Morbid Obesity.
My goal is to be BUFF! Ha Ha!


This is not your typical blog that talks about how things are great, and how I got my hard body in 120 days! I wish it were that easy! For a few months I went around reading what other people were saying. I found a lot that did not talk about the struggles or the pain. I want to make sure that I add every detail as possible because going from one place into a healthier place is going to be a journey, and we want to make sure we are covering every detail of that journey. The one thing I did not like about their blogs' was the fact they did not have a lot of pictures. I want to see how they changed through out the whole process. I want to see pictures with proper lighting, in the same clothes. Oh, boy! My clothes were my bathing suit!! LOL If I am going to do this right then I will have to put it on every month to see the difference from each picture. Getting back to what I was saying before I mentioned my clothing. When you look at their pictures they posted up for everyone to review do you notice how the 1st picture looks really old, and the 2nd picture looks completely different. Their hair is different besides their bodies are buff. Well I want to see everything in between, wouldn't you?



There will always be bumps along the road. Its how you deal with them that matters. Do you give up? Do you push forward? Do you change your workout and modify it? Well, I am pushing forward but with a modified workout with a goal in 8 weeks to start back at the beginning. I am the kind of person who sees a challenge, and if I can't do that challenge I will modify get stronger, and come back to complete that challenge successfully. Now if you want me to go a little deeper then working out. You can apply this to any area of your life. Really! If you find something that is hard, and you find yourself frustrated. Take a day off, regroup, and come at it from a different angle. Ask people who have succeeded, take notes, read those notes everyday, apply them to your life, and get over the hump. Next, make a vision board with quotes from that advice they shared with you or post up some positive quotes. Also, find some pictures of outfits that you can see yourself wearing in the future. Then you are going to hang it up in your bedroom, mirrors, refrigerator, and walls.  Post it all over or in one spot. Then I want you to look at them, read them, over and over and over again. Everyday! Fill your head up with positivity day in and day out. Even if you are extremely negative do it anyways! Change that negativity into something positive. Over time you will see your thinking will change to more positive then negative. That's overcoming life's issues. Just remember no ones life is perfect we all have issues that we have to overcome. Now back to the issue at hand. My issue is getting my body healthy, and to get my immune system to calm down! As you can see my intestines inflamed by week 2. The sad part of this story is I've been doing cardio 3 days a week before I started this blog. I started out doing 20 minutes, and it took about 6 weeks before I could increase my time by 10 minutes. My starting goal for this blog is at least 30 minutes of cardio. 



This week build a vision board with positive quotes, inspiration, and pictures of outfits that you want to see yourself in. Don’t forget to make notes to which store you can purchase that outfit from. You can also include things you want to accomplish. What ever it is all it all together so when you look at it everyday several times a day you will push yourself forward to reaching each goal!

Here are some positive quotes to help get you started:

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation. Author: Brian Tracy



What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. Author: Zig Ziglar



Don’t wait until you reach your goals to be proud of yourself
Be proud of each step you take towards reaching your goals!

Let's get our goals set & vision boards done!


Good luck to you this week! Get your vision boards started! I will get mine done as well.

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.  Saturday, June 18th       8-)) 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...

Spicy Vegan Fajitas

Spicy Vegan Fajitas This dish is AMAZING! First time I tried baking my fajitas instead of the traditional frying pan. I would definitely make this recipe many more times to come. The best part about this recipe is that it is super easy to make, and it is quick and easy. Plus, making extra for tomorrows lunch is a MUST! What I love the most about fajitas is that you can spice things up or turn the spice down a few notches. I know every time I make a fajita I change up my seasonings. Ingredients: ·       Colored peppers, red, yellow, orange ·       Onions ·       Cauliflower ·       Mushrooms ·       Habanero pepper ·       1 Tbsp. Chili powder ·       1 Tbsp. Ground Cumin ·       1 Tbsp. Garlic powder ·       1 Tbsp. Papri...

Grocery Shopping List

One questions I get asked all the time is about what a grocery list should look like.  While I can’t tell you to go out and buy EVERYTHING on this list. However,  I am going to give you an idea of the general things that you are going to be using on a daily basis. Proteins/Red Container Eggs Fish- Salmon & Tilapia Flank Steak Fresh Chicken Breast Lean Ground Chicken Lean Ground Turkey Pork Tenderloin Protein Powder Turkey Breast Veggie Burgers Honestly I stay away from red meat, processed lunch meats, turkey bacon, ham, and any kind of pork product.  I know part of it is on the list but when it comes to clean eating and nutritional value the things I have listed above are much better options than processed meats.  Turkey bacon, lunch meat, and ham all are higher in sodium, and can cause you to retain water.   Fruits/Purple Container Apples Berries like Strawberries, Blackberries, Raspberries Cantalou...
