Abs - Bicycle Crunches

A strong core of course says a lot bout your willpower, but it looks good and it means you have a very strong support system!




Lying on your back with knees stacked in the air over the hips alternate movement of right elbow touching or coming close to left knee.



Alternate, sweat and BREATH!!!!



You love what you see in no time!!!!

Gotta Love Strong Legs

Alternating leg lunges are great for the quadriceps (legs) as well as the glutes (booty - yea I said it :) ).

Starting with feet side by side, abs tucked in, back straight, chest up and facing forward, step forward with the right leg. Bring it back to starting position and repeat with the left leg. Knee should NEVER reach past the toe.


Weights are optional.

If your a beginner (have been working out less than 30 days on a regular schedule) stick with weight free. Complete 3 sets of 10 (reps)

Intermediates should use weights ranging from 2 lbs to 5 lbs. Complete 3 sets of 15

The advanced group can begin with 8 lbs or more, work at a comfortable, yet challenging level - remember, you want to grow and progress. Complete 3 sets of 16

Am I Insane?????

Soooo, as always I find my self trying yet something else that is new!!! Have I completed my running phase? No.
Have I completed my Zumba phase? (what ever that means) Hell No!
But I have promised to find a way to incorporate everything into my life.

I now have the wonderful Insanity in my possession and I am going to ride it until the wheels fall off. This is the stage where my body will transform because right now, although I hate admitting it, I am in a stagnant position, and I need a bit of hands on assistance with a challenge.

So I will make sure I tell you day in and day out how this new journey makes me feel. In the mean time, I will also share some research on things we eat.... I have been running across some very interesting facts. Facts that can't be ignored.

And I will make sure I bring the humor back in this because it is soooooooo long gone! LOL LOL.

Happy Tuesday Biachaes!!!!!!!

Running???

Guess what I've started doing........ Yup, walking really fast and making it looking like my feet leave the ground at the same time! lol.
I am currently preparing to run a 10K 44 days from now. That means I am currently training because I can run a full mile with no interruptions but I've bumped up to 3 miles and I tend to break when need be.
This run has come with so many laughs, aches, pains, and that wonderful feeling of accomplishment! When I make it home after a run I am full of so much energy and life! I want to dance I want to jump around, I want to play games, it's all so crazy.
Why am I running? Because it is the one thing that I have always wanted the ability to do. I feel you have got to be full of mental strength and a bit of physical strength doesn't hurt either! I have told individuals I would sign up for half marathon's only to quit and never join the group that follows through. This time is different.

Watch me run, and stay tuned!!!!!

Tasty Tuesday

I missed out yesterday due to the fact the people that pay me to work, actually put me to work... ummmhummm go figure.

With that being said lets officially get this party started. First and foremost I have to shout out the two people that make this blog possible my other half and my Twin. LOL.

While riding into work today and bassing the ABC and Twinkle twinkle little star song, I thought to self, "Self, what are you going to accomplish today?"
Today I am going to make sure I let my loved ones know just how much I love them. I am going to actually go hard at selling some halloween tickets if I expect any one to be there, and I am going to stop letting my child ask me to listen to the Stanky Leg.... yes somethings must come to an end.


And while today is tasty Tuesday, I wont let that get to my head..... I will NOT pick up the bottle tonight!!!!


...... Now tomorrow is a different story! LOL

Past, Present, and Future Love

I fell in love last night. I fell in love with a man that has been a part of my entire adulthood. I fell in love with a man that has molded me into all of the womanliness I possess. I fell in love last night with the first man that has ever had my heard, mind and soul in his hands all at once.I fell in love with my child's father, my husband of eight years.

And it truly felt amazing.

Love is a powerful force, it can make you smile or cry all day long. Some times it can leave you in a state of complete confusion. Other times, and these are the best times, it reminds you that nothing else in the world matters besides love. Nothing.

I had a unwanted period of separation from my husband and now that he is back I feel so elevated.The vibe between us seems to be off to a great start. I am so nervous.

NTW

When I hit my late teens and started learning what life was focused around ($$) I had it stamped in my head NO KIDS FOR ME!!!!

That was all until I somehow let my self fall in love and then had this urge to create, share, and duplicate, gotdamn mother nature!

And now here she is 4 years later. Making me laugh, cry, dance, shout, read, write, and confess. Never had I thought a seed, a creation could give me the feeling that I feel when ever I am with and with out her. It is amazing! I find my self thinking about her future, wondering what she is going to be like as a teen, and as an adult. Will she always love me this much? Will she always kiss me this much? Will she always feel like she needs me? Will she always want to talk to me? Honestly?

I make sure I tell her, that I want her to be honest with me. When she wants to talk about having a boyfriend, I don't shoot her with the, "NOT NOW, don't say that, just think about school" because I know the conversation is going to come up if not with me it will be with one of her pick-a-niny friends, and I DO NOT WANT THAT, ugh.

I love my mini me.

...Next How I Met and fell for Mr. CLW.....
