Down in the Dumps NO MORE...

Yesterday I was definitely in a funk. I can't seem to break that 20lb mark. I've dabbled around the same 5 pounds like forever. Almost everyday someone tells me I'm definitely losing.....I don't see it. I wear the same clothes and the scale is not moving. But I keep moving....I have definitely conquered the exercise mentality ...without fail I workout 5 times a week. Some days I try to talk myself out of the kickboxing class but I always feel great once I've accomplished anothe workout. Everyone in the class are advance MMA fighters....Seems they only do the class to appease me....I'm the new pink elephant in the room. Thank goodness they never make me feel that way. I'm headed to my regular Zumba class tonight with the girls and I'm really hoping the instructor takes it up a notch. Considering finding a more challenging class.... I catch on the dance moves almost instantly and I noticed in the last few classes that I'm so into it that I freestyle and add resistance moves like I'm the teacher....(she thought it was funny) I even saw her use one of my moves. lol. Zumba is really fun to me though plus I'm getting a great cardio workout. I think next week I will be more consistent with my weight training. The Zumba instructor mentioned not waiting until you lose weight to start weight/resistance training. My days are already long with evening fitness classes so I'm not sure at what time I'll incorporate more exercise. My meals today will be oatmeal for breakfast, protein shake for lunch, and roast with green beans for dinner. My snacks are 20 grapes and a protein bar. According to Sparkpeople.com I need an increase in calories somewhere so I'm going to do a little research on things I can add..... I did get suggestion from my FaceBook family but some of the things I haven't convinced myself to try yet mainly because I'm not sure how to prepare. The quest continues...... Sunshyne Out.

Still Truckin' along

Dang it's been a minute since I've blogged...Over a month. I enjoyed the 5 weeks for structured bootcamp. Something about knowing my exact schedule was exactly what I needed. Her meal plans were easy to follow although I didn't follow them on most days. In the end I didn't lose any weight but I lost 3 inches in my thighs and almost 3 inches in my waist so it was worth it to me. The first week without the camp schedule I was totally lost on what to do.....just winging it. At the job, they have opened up a nice fitness wellness center. It's the place to be right now so very overcrowded. My first experience at the beginners Zumba class was horrible.....she was so uncoordinated and appeared to not know her own routine. Yesterday I attended the Bootcamp Training Class and it was GREAT. We jogged, did squats, planks, mountain climbers, high knees and other things that had me sweating my weave out. I loved it. And although I hate to hang around till 6 after work, I think t...

More DVD's

94 days till I'm the big 4-0...YAH! Every since I realized I was 100 days away I've been trying to get in some exercise. Pulled out my tried and true Shaun T doing Hip Hop Abs and also went way back and dusted off Billy Blanks ugly butt and doing his Fitness Bootcamp (which btw is ugh hard). I looked for my Walk Away the Pounds but the darn disc case was empty...with all the moving there's just no telling what happened to it. So today I decided to buy me another....toughter version....man Leslie Sansone has soooo many WATP videos...but do you notice she still thick in the hips and thighs...been walking all these years...lol. Anyway....I can hardly wait for it to arrive. Even been packing my lunch lately....not everyday but better. And my main thing is I haven't ventured to the plaza level for my all-time favorite PayDay candy bar.... I don't even care for candy much....but I absolutely love peanut M&M's and PayDay candy bar....that salt mixed with sugar is t...

It's OK if you have to Walk Away.

Awww remember when you first met? Remember that teenage giddy feeling...remember how you felt when he first said he loved you or vice versa.... but what if you can no longer remember why you're there in the first place, if it's just not working, how can you stay together? Truly. How? I’m seeing this situation in two very close friends of mine and it makes me look at my own situation and evaluate that I’m in a relationship for the right reasons. Your partner does not have to be abusing you or neglecting you or doing or not doing anything in particular. Relationships end. I realize this is NOT the fairy tale we’re made to believe as a growing princess but relationships are hard work, right? I don’t know if I buy that.... love shouldn’t be hard work, love shouldn’t be painful.... and if it is then it’s time to re-evaluate. And when you know it’s over, you are wasting yourself and your time, not to mention your partner and his time when you stick around instead of exposing it for ...
