MY DIET AND EXERCISE JOURNAL

still going strong....

2005-05-17T10:45:06Z

Every night I have been faithful to my workout and everyday to my diet. I lost close to 10 pounds. Mabey alitte over, but that time of the month is like due anyday now. You can also really see where the inches are comming off. The club music is really fun to dance and cheer too. It's probably the funnest part of my diversified workout. I am starting to write my workout down. I am only half finsihed. So when I am done, I will post it here. By that time, I probably will be up to 2 hours. I still haven't heard back from the YMCA yet about the scolarship. I am thinking about a bunch of stuff since I talked to "LA" the other day at Bally too.

So I will keep you posted...

Thursday...

2005-05-13T03:58:49Z

Managed to get my workout done. Alittle over 1 hour and a half. Had a roast beef sand with swiss and a small side salad for lunch. 4 ounces of steak, white rice and string beans for dinner. (All within my portions) Grapefruit for dessert.

Ok, here is an update..(Even though I am exhausted tonight.

2005-05-12T03:45:16Z

I have been very consistant with the diet and workout. I am up to an Hour & half on my workout plan. Every week I add more reps, another exercise, etc.

I can alreadly see the results in my face, hair body (pound and inches wise) I am fitting in some more pairs of my pants again.

I know I have not updated...

2005-05-08T04:37:20Z

But I will have you know I am sticking to my diet loyaly and doing my exercises. Even though some nights I feel like I am going to die. It's hard to get everything done in the morning, work all day and come home and wait for the kid to go to bed and do exercises. I am up to an almost hour a night. This routine includes a mixture:

Floor exercises
Weight aerobics
karate jumps and kick practice
dancing
cheerleading dance
with a combo of icesometrics
dance expression (coreography)

I believe a mixture works on all aspects of your body and helps the blood flow throughout your system. I seem to be perkier and have more engery. As for my exercise mixes I am using some of my DJ tapes from some of the events I helped DJ and run. I will have to make some more mixes soon.

When I went to work today, I really felt and looked so much better. I can see the results alreadly in my face, hair, skin and inches that are just comming off. ITs amazing! I lost about 6 pounds. Its been 2 weeks. Tomorrow is my sabatical and I don't exercise. Next week I start some more intense training. I am sitting here a total sweat ball right now. But I know its good for me.

My diet for the past two days consisted the correct portions also.

Ok todays menu. I had a whole bannana for breakfast.

And as you'll see above. In tinfoil to the right. A turkey sandwich with 1/2 slice of cheese and A-1 sauce. (don't knock it till you try it. ) Can you see the A-1 package to the left of the sandwich. I save all my condiments when I go out. I also had the side salad. that I shaved fresh carrot on, thin sliced red onions and bits of the other half of the slice of cheese. For dinner: You see the container with the vegtables ontop. It has vegtables (Birdseye frozen), spagetti, (left over from yesterdays spagetti cooking....portioned out to one bread serving, sauce (1 tablespoon) Oregeno, parsley and garlic powder spicing. Water added to the bottom so I could microwave it. I added the cold?cooked shrimp/(that you buy alreadly cooked and frozen) in the smaller container and the purportioned grated cheese in the little container. As a snack I had the half of bannana you see inn the ziplock bag.

Walaa....

I have done this diet and at one time stayed on it for a year. one time. So i really know my portions and how to mix up my substitutes! With this diet every drop of food gets used...every one. And food really goes a long long way too....

My new equipment..."THE STEP"

2005-04-28T12:03:11Z

Do you see that black stool in the background. That was what I was using for landing practice and jumping/spinning over practice at home. The legs are weak now and its unusable. This is a more stable "tuperware" for me to practice on. Besides it doubles as a bench and a balancing pole and stuff. To get "The Step" as high as it, I need one more set of piles...which they did not have in the store. But its all as well, I will buy them with my next paycheck.

Pain! But pain is a good thing.....

2005-04-27T11:55:57Z

I heard it said no pain/no gain. I know from experience this is true...very true...
I increased the intensity of it last night. I was going to wait till next week but I can't sit still for very long anyway when it comes to working out.Meaning low inpact shit is boring. I like the high intensity stuff. I like pusing myself. I can alredly tell a difference in the way I feel. The diet is a really good one. It really is healthy. My friend Lisa calls it the "Model diet." LOL I used to almost look like this model in the Gembley hair book when I was younger. I had all the same facial features. My hairdresser Tony used to style my hair just like her. (Oh, there I go about the hair story's again. LOL) He gave me the sheet with her pic on it. I will just have to post the pics here to prove it. I miss those days of Riverside Square Mall and all the parties I used to go to...sigh...

Tip of the Day: Two natural things that are really good for your face. Believe it or not. Oatmeal Bath: It fades moles and smooths out lines.

Ordinary Table Salt. It purifys your face and makes it younger. Use a dixie cup. Put a little of either one of the above in it. Add hot water. Use a rinsed out Oxy pad to apply. rub on your face. If your doing the salt thing. Lay down and let it burn into your pores. Becareful not to get it in your eyes. Then rinse with hot, then cold water. I swear you will see a difference.

Oatmeal bath thing: Do the same with the dixie cup and the application. Wipe off face with tissue after application. I do this right after my workouts. I do the salt first and the oatmeal bath powder (plain not scented) first. It leaves a more even looking skin tone with a baby soft smooth face. Its way cheaper then any cream. You can buy the salt for about 54.cents a cannasiter. And the oatmeal bath powder (The kind you use if you get posion Ivey. For about $13.00 a box. It comes with about 15 packets and each packet lasts about 1 month. It 's the best kept secret I ever learned.

Hello!!

Welcome to the new diet/exercise...anything related journal. This is my first post. My actual diet/exercise starts tomorrow. I am still playing with the layout. So excuse it while its under re-constuction. Yes that picture is of me in the background. My friend Karen took it of me when I lived in Melbourne Beach, Florida. I was catching a frisbee she threw to me. Being the humidy was so intense my hair was wild and flying in the air it looked horrible.

I promise to post a current pic when I start to practice and perfect my moves again with my flying karate jumps. Promise. And No its not photoshopped. I really can fly.......(jump that is) Regina
