I’m sore from yesterdays work out, so I’m going to do some extra stretching tonight and roll on the foam roller. 

Only a couple more days till we head down to West Palm Beach for the Cathy Savage Camp!  This is a figure/Fitness/Bikini camp, they teach you all aspects of competing, lots of info to learn, nutrition, posing, suits, hair, make-up etc. we are also going to work out while we’re there.   I’m going to try to take a lot of pictures, so I’ll post them when I get back.   The camp starts on Friday and ends  Sunday, so I won’t be blogging during that time.   Time to stretch!

I’m tired tonight!! I worked out at the gym on the Stairmaster for an hour and stretched and rolled on the foam roller.  It’s always warm in the gym, but it was really hot tonight, the minute I walked in, I noticed it was warm.  I think that’s why I feel tired.  I drank two full bottles of water while I was working out, which would be 46 oz, I think I sweated that all out while I was there!!

I don’t have much time to blog tonight, I have a load of laundry to do, so this will be short and sweet!!  ;)

At the gym I worked out with my trainer for an hour, I went into the locker room to get something to eat (chicken), because I need to eat some protein in between working out with my trainer and doing cardio. There were some girls in costumes and I was sitting there listening to them talk about their routines, music, hair etc, so I asked them what they were doing and they told me that they were trying out for the “Roar”.   I thought that was pretty cool!  Interesting conversation! If I had more time and lived closer I would have watched them for a little bit.   Good luck to them!!  After I ate my chicken I went and worked out for a half hour on the ARC Trainer.   Well, I need to get my laundry done, so here’s my food journal…remember, “Dream BIG!”

I went to the gym tonight and worked out on the Stairmaster for an hour and then had a stretch fest and rolled on the foam roller!  That was a long hour!!  I have never worked out on the Stairmaster for an hour before!! Yay me!  :)   It felt good to push myself again! 

I was driving to work today and saw a billboard sign that caught my eye and I could not get it out of my head, I thought about it all day, it said “Here’s your Chance…for a Second Chance” ~~something to think about!!

Saturday I was out at the Town Center shopping and stopped for lunch at Cantina Laredo…I had their “Honey Shrimp Salad”, it has grilled shrimp, Jicama, (a Jicama is a sweet root vegetable that looks like a turnip) Mangos, Roasted Walnuts & Goat Cheese crumbles the dressing is a Tropical Honey Vinaigrette, its super light tasting…it’s so good!  I took a picture of my salad so, you could see what it looks like! I love how my friends are so supportive, they now remind me to take pictures of my food!

Happy St Patricks Day! 3/17/11

Posted on March 17, 2011 | Leave a comment

In 2007 the company I work for, decided that they were going to launch a health fitness challenge, when I heard about it, I was not interested, they had a meeting about it and I didn’t even go to it.  Then I started hearing everyone talking about their personal trainers, and what they were doing..that got my attention. 

My employer decided that they were going to do a 2nd Corporate Health Fitness Challenge and I was in!  I thought this is my chance to get a personal trainer and if I didn’t like it, oh well, it was only 12 weeks.   My trainer now, Anthony Duran was one of the trainers.  Now this part is funny to me!  I’m telling this  because he already knows this story, but, it was suggested to me that I train with Anthony, by another trainer.  I said “no way, I’m not training with him!!”  Now in his defense I knew nothing about him, but the thought of training with a guy, any guy and me being so overweight, that was NOT going to happen!! LOL! So, I ended up with another women trainer who I was very lucky to get, she was an excellent trainer and taught me good form and technique and I still keep in touch with her to this day! 

Our next step and first session with our trainers was the Health Fitness Assessment Profile…that’s another story for tomorrow!! Till then here’s my food journal! Happy St Patty’s Day!! :)
