Week 12 has ended down to 126lbs!

Longest week of record, diet became tough along with cardio being done in the wee hours of the a.m........measurements revealed a one inch loss off each waist, hips, and thighs, not to shabby!! A big thank you to Linda for doing my cardio, keep on spinnin and making me laugh!!

Training  took on a whole new meaning after 18 reps on the leg press @450lbs, apparently I can push a little more than I imagined....thanks hubby (aka "coach" between the hours of 10am-1pm).  There is an expression I think of often, taught to me by an old client Tina, would frequently repeat "it's mommy hurt" "you know when it hurts so bad you want to cry for your mommy"........the recovery from Tuesday's leg workout was all about it!

Cheers everyone and happy Memorial Day!

Where did the week go and only 1/2 lb weight loss

Week 13 checked off the list, cardio was slightly challenging my legs wouldn't move....On a great note, squatted 255lbs (2 sets of 6 reps) still off my all time personal record of 275 for reps and 300 x 1 half rep!  Have to give props to Leonard via hubby, Celsius changed my workouts sold at Vitamin Shoppe  - wild berry flavor has only two carbs! Thanks a milliion!!

In the words of two inspirational clients and heartfelt friends, Patty and Eli,  who have coined many descriptive adjectives........have outdone themselves with this funny number regarding to my current state:  "losing the soft chewy outer coating", what a great way to start my day, much love!!

what....I don't have to drop my calories yet!!!!

Whew....made it thru week 14, weight down to 127 and 10.7% body fat!!  My water/food will remain the same until my weight gets stuck........I will keep my fingers crossed that this won't happen,but the reality is it most definitely will!

Focus, Focus, Focus........

On the tail end of completing week 15, down one pound (128.5), food/water/cardio remained the same.  Cardio was much easier this week, my body is re acclimating hooray!!  Cinco de Mayo certainly wasn't the same without a cadillac margarita, however, my ending meal of the day was a fabulous concoction of egg whites, brown rice, spicy turkey meat, sliced mushrooms, topped with avocado!  Highlights of training this week:
