808 Happy and Healthy

So I did not get to run the GAR 😐 because baby girl kept trying to get out of her stroller.  She was wanted to run too!! We had a good time.  Well I will admit, I was not training as much as I like to.

Here are s ome pictures of my free session of aerial yoga at Samadhi Hawaii .  I want to say t hanks to  Yelp Elite Hawaii for this awesome opportunity .  It is awesome to be Yelp Elite because you get i nvited to free events and food !!! So today I learned to hang upside down on a silk rope today, super fun great core workout.  Was so much fun, it reminded of my childhood times hanging upside down

2015 was a rough fitness time for me.  I stated my new career as a clinic nurse and feel like my weight loss has plateau.  I would love to be 125, but my body seems to like being 135.  So I need to just keep up with working out and eating healthy. I was doing bodybuilding.com workouts to get variety.  I tried Ashley Conrad's 21 day Clutch Cut , Erin Stern's Elite Body , and Chassidy Smother's Beyond Basic Training .  I enjoyed all these workouts and got more comfortable with lifting weights.  I was practicing paleo on most days.   How do you accomplish new year's resolution?  Set your goals, set a due date, plan your steps, do it, keep accountable and reflect!!! 2016 goals are set thanks to  @chalenejohnson Push.  Will keep up with food logging and workout planning. I am going to be aware of my carbs and food intake, but wont be strict paleo.  I want to keep up with weight training. Since its GAR...

Today I officially completed my registration for the Great Aloha Run.  Usually during the holiday season, since holiday eating could bring weight gain, I usually do more cardio/running.  This technique has helped me avoid excess holiday weight gain since I have to push myself to train for an 8 mile run.  This would be my 4th year training for the GAR. So for the past 3 months I have been doing 20 minute jogs/runs around my neighborhood 3x a week.  Then in November I started pushing myself to do more longer runs.  I wasn't tracking it.  I was just going by how many blocks I do.  I have used the Runkeeper App to tracked my progress in the pass so I have been using it for my runs again.  This is app is great because it help me realize that my long run was about 1 mile.  Good job, but the GAR is 8 miles so I need to work on my mileage!!! Here is a copy of my training schedule.  I have about 12 weeks till race day on February 15, 2...

April 7 -  21 day fix extreme end round 2 Weight 136 Chest 33 Arm  11 right /11 left  Waist 28 Hips 31 .5 L egs 17.5 right 17.5 left So I did not lose any weight or inches after this round of 21 day fix.  I was disappointed at first... Then I saw this picture.  It has been 1 year since I started this journey. In the picture on the left I was still working night shift, 6 months postpartum and did not workout. The picture to the right is my post 21 day fix extreme results, round 2. I am grateful to be on this health journey Changing the way I eat and adding 30 minutes of exercise has help me transform my life!!! I no longer need to take blood pressure medicines (which I started taking at 19 years old). I still eat sweets in moderation, but I never had to starve. I learn to balance healthy eating and working out. With my busy life I make time to be healthy and eat healthy!!! Keeping the 50 pounds off is hard but I'm grateful tha...

I love the 21 day fix because it jump started my weight loss. After doing p90x3 and Body Beast I started to enjoy weight training because it helped to change the way my body looks. Even thought I may have "gained weight", I did not look as flabby. So when I heard Autumn Calabrese was making a new program, I knew I had to get it. 21 day fix extreme is a totally different program compared to 21 day fix.  This program pushes you more harder. The 7 day workouts are more intensive with less rest, but the nice thing is the workouts are still 30 minutes long that you do for 21 days. If you follow the "Countdown to Competition Guide, this nutritional guide is more stricter. March 16 Weight 136 Chest 33 Arm  11 right /11 left Waist 28 Hips 31 .5 legs 18 right 18 left   So I lost a 1 pound since doing finishing 21 day fix extreme. I can't be disappointed, because that a good thing. As I compare my overall body results in 21 days I had lost 1/2 inch from...

So I use to workout at the gym with a trainer.  My trainer was a nice guy and offered many helpful tips, but when he started to push me to lift heavy, it really intimidated me.  The gym was full of guys lifting heavy and here I am not knowing what the hell I am doing and last thing I want to do is get hurt.  Even though I had a trainer to guide me into weight loss, it was costing me a lot of money to continue, plus I had a weird stalker experience, so I quit .  I tried to go to a new gym with my sister after giving birth, but with not much direction and not knowing if I am doing this right, I stopped going. Anyways weight training seems so scary to do by myself... so why did I decide to try Body Beast?  Well with the success of p90x3, I figure lets keep toning and building muscle to look more leaner plus the price was cheaper that one month's gym membership.   Sagi Kalev  is the trainer behind Body Beast. The program is 90 day, divided into ...
