Get Physique-a-licious

I am in heaven right now.  I went to Dallas for a Beachbody Team meeting and the guest was no other than the man himself Tony Horton.  My heart was pounding like a little kid.  I could not believe I was in the same room with Tony.  How did this happen?  I was extremely excited but tired from the drive down there.

I am just ecstatic. 

There were quit a few people there.  Close to 150 Will had mentioned.  There was a guy named Nick who has been on the infomercials.  There was Will and Kevin from Beachbody Corporate.  I could not believe it.

Tony started off giving his speech in the Tony fashion about how he got where he is today.  So glad Tony did not pursue his comedian career.  He can joke all he wants on his DVD’s. 

We had a coaches training.  If any of you who are in the fitness industry or are just plain fitness enthusiasts and are not a BeachBody Coach, this is a company that is really about to take off.  You can make some money on the side.  This is best MLM company’s in fitness today and it is getting ready to explode.  I suggest you get on board now.  I am not lying.  The American Diabetes Association is on board too.  How about that.  They just don’t put their stamp on just anything.  This is truly a landmark deal.  Beachbody is the first company to receive this stamp approval for their workout programs.  If you are interested, please go to www.milliondollarbody.com and check it out.  If you decide you want to be a coach and their should be no question, sign up under Pkayfit02.  Get going while it is warm before it gets really hot.

Okay, enough of that, here in the Coaches Training Session, Tony was actually the one who spoke.  He talked about 11 Laws of Fitness according to him.  This was such a great training.  If you sign up under me I can give those to you.  These were great Laws and that can be applied to everyday life.  It was amazing to listen to him.  I was really tired but he really managed to keep me awake.  After his speech he walked down the aisle and I was able to shake his hand.  I will never wash that hand. 

Now, was the time to workout people P90x style.  Let me tell you it Rocked!  Just like P90x and the one-on-one DVD.  I busted a major sweat.  Take a look.  I had so much fun having Tony kick my butt.

Getting ready to rock.

jab, Cross, Hook, Turn people.  Let’s get it right.

As you can see, my shirt was soaked liked I worked out or something.  I had an awesome time.

I received my next One-on-One DVD  “Killer Abs”  awesome like the others.  Also, they sent me a sneak peak to Chalean Extreme.  This is going to be another program that is going to rock.  I love it.

I am so excited about this event.  I can even begin to tell you.  I have a chance to go meet the one and only Tony Horton today in Dallas.  It is about a 3 hour drive.  I am worried about Hurricane Ike.  But not too worried, when I set my mind to it I go and do it no matter the cost.

I debated about this for a couple of days and all my friends said go.  There was a reason for the cancellation of the Personal Training Class.  My Bunco friends will surely understand what a fitness fanatic I am.  I know they support me.

I can’t wait for all the exciting news, plus I get to workout with Tony.  Last year, I went and workout with Chalene Johnson and that was so much fun.  Again, I drove about 3 hours to get there for a 1 hour workout but it was worth it because she signed my shoe.  Yes.  I got to workout with Leslie Bender a couple of weeks ago and that was great too.  I have met Mindy Mylrea and what a little spit fire she is, she is soo great.  I really love her too. 

I will be back with an update and pictures of me and Tony.  I know you are all jealous.  Ha.  Keep working out and keep working out hard.

I can not believe that the time is already here.  I entered a fitness video contest about 7 weeks ago.  I made it to the final round.  Now, the time has come for the final voting.  I am extremely nervous.

I am not sure how many of you know that I have my own women’s fitness studio.  I love my job and hope to motivate and inspiring many more women to just get moving. 

I named the video “No Excuses” because I have exercises that the stay at home individuals can do at home and don’t even need to get out of the chair.  These are exercises that if a person is bound to a chair they can still help themselves out by staying toned.  So, there are no excuses when it comes to execising or going to a gym.

I welcome you to go vote for me and here is the link:  http://www.projectbreakout.com/fitness1/#page:1

I really need your help.  Registering is really easy and you are not obligated to do anything but vote for me.

The winner will be announced next Monday.

Have a great week.

Yes, it is here everyone.  I am stoked about this new DVD from Tony Horton.  The next DVD installment from his new One-on-One series.  I have not had a chance to review it, since it just came yesterday. 

The Olympics only comes every four years, so I have been glued to the TV watching Michael Phelps take charge and sweeping the world with his gold medals.  You go Michael.  I am thinking about adding swimming to my routine.

I finally realized why I don’t like to run.  I have been on the treadmill twice this week.  I have squeezed in 3 cardio sessions in so far.  Yeah me!  But, yesterday I realized that my little toes get all bruised up.  I hate that and they are so sore.  After my class yesterday, I had to take my shoes off to let my toes breathe.  That is why I think I will go swimming.  Give my little toes a break.

Remember change is good and a variety of cardio exercises is great.  You need to mix it up people.

I will get back with you on how it went with Tony.  Can’t wait.

Have you ever felted like you were working you butt off, keeping track of nutrition, how much you lifted, and even keeping track of your calories intake and burned and nothing is working?  Gosh darn it, I have been working my tail end off and nothing (the FAT) is not budging.  I am following the nutrition plan to the key.  I have not had any fat for like two weeks.  I have been eating my protein and drinking my shakes.  I have incorporated my fruits more and vegetables with my salads.  Nothing!  I tell you nothing!  I have been burning about 500 calories extra a day.  Now, I know the magic number is 3500.  So, this week I am already up to 1328.  Two days and I have burned that many calories.  I am getting ready to get on the Treadmill again.

I am really bummed out.  I am just going to quit eating all together.  No, I really like to eat.  My deadline is getting closer and I can’t even tell the difference.  The tape measure doesn’t even move.  What to do.  Am I going to have to go to really extreme?  How much more can I go you guys? 

Okay, I am going to have to pull out all the punches.  Time to step it up again. 

Time to start eating more of the Top Metabolic Foods.  Next week, I had better see something.

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.

It is Saturday and I have been sticking to the Eating Plan pretty good.  I have the plan on the fridge and each day I tape a new one on the fridge.  

Did I reach my goal like I wanted?  No!  I did however drop 5 lbs and within a 1/2.  So, I lost 1 1/2 inches.

I started out the week good and ran on Monday and did my Turbo on Tuesday and Wednesday I just could not get the cardio in due to putting in Lowe’s blinds.  Thursday my sinuses started running and hit me like

this boulder right in the head.  I was pretty much on the couch most of the day and I did not get to do my Turbo or teach my class.  So, I took some of my Detox tea with some lemon juice and honey.  That seemed to do the trick.  Yesterday was OK. I still kept to my eating plan.

Today, I feel like I could go pretty good.  I should be on the treadmill right now, but instead I am writing this blog.  I have to stay with it if I want to see improvement.

I will run for about 45 to an hour and then I have to do my biceps and back.  I have been slackin on the P90x.  I feel bad.  Go to do it no holding back and NO EXCUSES! 

If you want it, you have to work for it.

“A year from now you’ll wish you had started today.”

It has only been two days on my new found taste of my Power 90x nutrition plan.  Not as bad as I thought.  Please not that my plan may not be the same for you.  You have to find what is your formula.  Although, Sunday is when I started the plan. 

I know what you thinking, who in their right mind starts a change of eating habits on Sunday.  Well, I thought I better do it and start it then, Sunday was just as good a day as Monday. 

I was hungry all day.  I marked off my squares as you can tell in my post of Nutrition is Key. 

I ran on Monday and I did 10 laps around the track. 

Now, the track at HSU is a little bigger that a 1/4 mile around.  But it is pretty close to a mile if I complete 4 laps, so I did more than 2 1/2 miles.  I could feel it in my knees.  I know, first I felted in my shins then I feel it in my knees.  I already feel it in the booty bouncing up and down shaking the earth.  Did anyone feel anything on Monday? 

I was so happy to find that my efforts of my delicious protein shake and my other proteins things I have been eating and plus my snacks and egg whites.  I have been following the list really good. 

Okay, here is the number in just two days, I have lost over an 1″.  That is right.  I hope to have dropped at least two inches by the end of the week.  Please help me keep motivated. 

It really is you guys whom I write for.  I journal this because I want you to see that it does take hard work.  It should be fun like my Turbo Kick class tonight. 

I burned 412 calories and then taught a class after that which pushed the calories burned just in two hours 627 calories.  So, I have lowered my calorie intake and up my calorie output which in turn, what?  Yes, you are so smart.  Weight Loss.  Plus I have some other weight loss products and vitamins that I have been taken.  Those will be discussed in the “Go Figure” section of this blog later.  I am still working on that.

In the meantime, if you are looking to start a regimen, please get started and don’t wait for the Doc to say “Hey, you need to exercise and watch your eating habits or you are not going to make it” 

My motto is if you look at my website www.myphysiqueinc.com  is “A year from now you’ll wish you had started today.”  by Karen Lamb.  I love that quote because it means whatever in life.  No Excuses!

Check back with me to see if my lost inches on Saturday is 2 inches.

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.

I switched my routine from the Power 90x lean routine to Power 90x Doubles routine.  why?  Well, because along with my eyesight I have lost some brain cells along the way. 

I thought with every cell in my being that I needed to push my self and add more cardio to my regimen.  I do, really, if I want to get rid of the stuff that is covering what many have told me is the rectus abdominis aka six-pack to show, then I am going to have to do more cardio.  Yuck!  I hate to run. I don’t have time to go to the base and get on the spin bike or treadmill.   I know I have said this before in the “What was I thinking” post.   Why can’t I just shove an enama up my you know what and just get it over with?  No, I couldn’t do that, I guess I will just have to eat bushels of apples, or is that bundles of apples? 

Well, I have gone running twice this week.  Two times too many this year.  I feel alot better and my shins are aren’t talking to me as much.  I guess that is good.  Now, I was suppose to do my chest, shoulders and triceps on Monday also, but man I was really exhausted after my workout in the morning class.  We really did work hard and I did not really want to because I knew I was suppose to do the Power 90x routine.  I put it off.  So, now I am behind and I did the routine today after my evening classes, which no one came for on Wednesday.  Now, I will have to do the back and biceps tomorrow which was suppose to be just YogaX.  Well, I have two Yoga classes to teach on Thurdady, so I will do those and figure out if I want to do the back and bicep routine after I have lunch with my friend.  You know priorities.  :) 

I think I will do a little jogging tomorrow again, not too bad so I will keep it up.  I will do my back and bicep routine.  I really need to get my push-up routine going as well.  When am I going to have time for all this blogging and working out?  Urgh!

I do have a dead line and I am sticking to it.  Just apples and yogurt.  Oh, and I found an awesome protein drink too.  it has a cinnamon taste to it.  I love cinnamon.

No excuses.
