Get Physique-a-licious

Posts Tagged ‘cardio’

This last week, I was able to get at least 3 cardio session in.  Yes, with finals of summer session two and having to sub 4 additional classes.  I was exciting to get my run in on Monday and two Turbo Kick classes into my schedule. 

Still sticking to the nutrition plan which I have placed on the fridge, which really helps me stay accountable.  If you have a way to track your progress you will stay with it longer.  I haven’t craved any sweets at all for the past two weeks.  I have been drinking my water and my protein shake, which is awesome by the way.  I have been trying to eat the foods that rev up my metabolism, which I am writing an article about that. 

I have reached my 2 inches of inches lost.  Yes, it is really starting to come together.  I only have a couple more week, but I think I can get there.  Of course, I will not stop there.  I will keep going until my body fat gets to where I want it to be.

By the way, I am excited to receive Tony Horton’s new One-on-One DVD.  I have the Plyo Legs already and I am excited to see what is next.  I have had so much going on this past week, that I did not get any sessions in for myself.  I think I ended up taking a weight lifting break.  I will get back on track next week.  I was really trying to focus on burning the calories in the Cardio part of my routine.  It is really hard to juggle several things at once.  Next week should be better because I won’t have the summer school to teach.  It cuts into my morning.  So, now I can focus more on the workout part of the routine.  It is a juggling game.  I should see more results next week.

By the way, I filmed my yoga video yesterday. It was awesome.  This will be my first video ever.  I am really excited about it.  Now, just have to edit it and put it together.  It will be available on my website www.myphysiqueinc.com shortly.  I will keep you posted.  The video is easy stretching, very basic yoga, and I have two 30 minute segments on the dvd. 

Keep up the good work people, and keep encouraging others to workout and get healthy.  It all starts with you and setting the example.

Anyone seen “The Celebrity Fit Club” featuring Dustin Diamond?  Ha!  The first time around he thought he could do all the exercises and stick to his own diet plan.  The truth be told he ended up coming back on the show and actually started listening to Harvey. 

Someone told me the other day and really stuck in my head.  You know how you tell your kids something and they just seem to ignore you?  Then, like the next day or so your kid comes running in the house and says that somebody told them something and it happened to be the same thing you said the day before only since it came from someone else it made better sense? 

That is kind of what happened to me the other day.  Thank You Fit Girl.  I know in my heart what it is I am suppose to do. I have read all the literature and heck I even went to college for this stuff.  Nutrition people.  It is all about Nutrition. 

I found my Power 90x Nutrition Booklet.  yeah Me!  I made copies of my Fat Shredder Phase 1.  I will paste one up on the fridge  at the beginning of each week and mark off the little blocks on what it is I can eat and how many servings he told me I could have.  According to my level or activity and on my other stuff, I can only eat 1800 calories.  So, I started this today.

Why did I start today?  Thought I better start now.  So, as you can see I can have like 5 things of protein and only 1 fruit.  I still need my vegetables for today, I don’t think that is going to happen.  It is about 6:30 p.m. and I am freakin starving.  I went up to the burger joint to get everyone else something to eat, but I myself passed.  I am so proud of myself.  Yes, I know that nutrition is the name of the game.  I always start good and then I keep exercising, I will not give that up, and then like every normal human being I just eat what I want.  I do have a heart monitor so in each of my workouts and classes  I have been keeping track of my calories burned but I need to be able to jot those down too.  You don’t have a heart monitor where you can actually see what you are burning and some cool ones have to where you can store the information up to a month.  That is cool. Cause, people, if you intake the same amount of calories burned or you don’t burn more calories than you intake then what is the point.  You will see yourself as a failure and then the worst happens the big britches come out and you start eating the carbs.  The bad ones.

I did my cardio 3 times this week in which I ran twice and did a TurboKick class at the studio.  The other workouts were tough this week also.  Felt a little tired on Friday.

So, I still have my deadline and really have to get serious.  If you want to see results, you not only have to bring it to every workout but you have to focus on what the heck you are putting into your gas tank (body)

So keep it real people.

Oh, by the way I am working on a Light Yoga video.  I am so excited.  I will of course let you know when you can stop by www.myphysiquinc.com to purchase one.  You can read about that one next week on my other blog www.myphysiqueinc.blogspot.com

No Excuses this time.  Just do it for yourself.
