15 more days
Ahhh…only 15 days until vacation. Mike and I cannot wait!! We had an early Vanlentine’s Day celebration last night to prepare for our cruise food LOL! We split a dessert and there will be NO sharing on the cruise. 
.
Sad news…my gymboss died 
Good news….I have a new one on the way in orange! I really love this gadget.
.
Even though i’m 10 lbs heavier than I would like to be I have been rocking my Bombshell workouts. I really do like them. I really DIDN’T like the meal plan. I did in the beginning but it got too high maintenance for me. That and my body doesn’t do well with wheat and processed carbs. They didn’t want to listen to that so now i’m doing my own thing. It’s actually not my own but my friend Tyler Donald is helping me and keeping me motivated. Thanks TYLER! The basis is in this ebook.

I feel so much better AND there isn’t a full day involved in food prepping. You gotta love that!
I’ve got muscle and now I want to shred the fluff and show it off! I want to do this in a way where i’m NOT running 2 hours a day like I had been doing. Not only would I lose my muscle but my butt would get flat and i’m loving my Bombshellish booty.

22 More Working Days!
We only have 22 more days until our cruise WOOHOO! Now if I could only drop 10 lbs that would be nice but highly unlikely. I’m still rocking the new diet and my workouts are great. This weeks’s are odd. There are LOTS of reps. I don’t like it but i’m doing it 
.
I’m just having fun living a healthy life without being too obsessive. According to my husband i am but I don’t believe so.
I still eat the same things everyday, measure all my food and discovered sweet potatoes are really good for breakfast. That’s all normal right?
.
Here’s a pic of my old lady. She’s missing her daddy right now. He’s in Spokane Washington
Yamcakes
3 oz of sweet potatoes -cooked
1/2 scoop of protein powder
1/2 cup of egg whites
1/4 tsp of baking powder
water to make batter as needed
Blend in bullet
Cook and top with a healthy fat and blueberries!!
Lovin’ It
I’m loving my new eaing plan I started. I have tons of energy and an overall better feeling about things. I’m still doing the Bombshell workouts but I really need to lean out for my cruise. Right now it seems all the girls are on a mini bulk from doing shows all year to help their bodies. I haven’t been lean all year and the bulk…OMG..boy did it ever Ha!
.
Workouts are going great! Cardio every morning at 40-45 mins for now.
Mon – back and quads
Tues – shoulders and triceps
Wed – back and biceps
Thurs – hams
Fri – shoulders, butt, chest
.
Time to watch The Wheel…yes, we’re old.
Things..
This felt like the longest week EVER! I’m so glad the weekend is here. Today i’m going to go to Trader Joe’s, Nature’s Market and Starbucks and load up on the good stuff. Operation cruise de fluff is ON. Mike and I are in this together. For him that means less dessert and dropping 10 lbs. For me we know it won’t be that easy.
.
The bombshell plan is FULL of variety. I need to be more strict. Not to mention the fact that my stomach doesn’t agree with some of the things i’m eating. I really tried to love this plan but I don’t love the 10lbs i’ve packed on. I do see more muscle but for me i’d rather be LEAN 24/7.
.
Wednesday – cardio only
Thursday – morning cardio, hamstrings in the pm
Friday – morning cardio, shoulders/chest in the pm
That’s how I finished my week! Bring on a relaxing weekend! I’ll probably walk Boomer and maybe do step aerobics. It’s be FOREVER since i’ve done that.
Morning Cardio
I was up with the birds this morning. That’s a joke because it was 20 degrees outside BUT…I was up at 4:30a for some cardio.
.
I did this workout and it was killer! JILL FIT If you try it let me know how you liked it!
.
I came home and did back and biceps. I love working back..biceps not so much but I do it.
.
That’s really all that happened. Work was work. I’d rather be working out at anytime than sitting at my desk. Thank goodness I get Facebook on my phone.
Happy New Year!
I really need to starting blogging more often. I have no clue what i’ve done this year because I don’t have a diary of it.
.
Mike and I are going on a cruise February 26th and we’re on a mission to lose! For him that means cutting out dessert every night. For me? I’m still with Bombshell so I eat what i’m told and do they workouts that are planned. I’ve gained 8 lbs since starting with them so I don’t thinking losing fast is in the cards. I can’t wait for a vacation. It’s been to long. Mike’s birthday is the 27th so that will be fun and his parents are going too!
.
On the fitness front i’m going to keep track of my workouts on here. Today I ran 5 miles and may do my shoulder/tricep workout tonight that is really for tomorrow. I’ll be ahead of schedule. I did quads yesterday and it was a heavy good one.
.
Saturday I got a massage. My legs were KILLING me on Friday. I mean I was literally in pain. Saturday the massage lady worked them hard. She asked what kind of pressure and I just said I have a high pain tolerance. WOW! I almost cried it was awesome LOL!
.
Okay, lets see if I really keep this blog updated I’ve still been reading but not posting as much. I feel like I NEED this to keep me going. 2012 for a lean me!
Improvement Season
Woohoo! There is snow on my blog! I had forgotten about that. I got my new plan from Bombshell on Friday and it’s mentally challenging for me. LOTS of carbs and food and not as much cardio. I understand the philosophy of this month but it’s still tough. I’m still 8 lbs up from where i’m happy BUT when I was 120 lbs I wasn’t happy there either. When I say happy I mean with my weight. Everything else in my life is going great
.
Here’s my latest butt shot. I’m really working on getting that thing lifted and rounded. I will say with the food i’m eating now i’m seeing more muscle under the fluff. I guess I can’t have it all.
Mike and I have a cruise booked February 26th and we are both VERY ready for that. His birthday is the 27th and his parents are coming along too. He’s never had a warm birthday. I guess we could go to Alaska for mine because i’ve never had a cold birthday
.
I still don’t have my tree up..I suck.
Thankful
I’m thankful for my “younger” sis. As you can see she’s not my little sister per se. Although we both have our things and are totally different we’re still best buds. She’s a gamer and I’m an obsessed workout nut.
She’s not a stoner either…bad picture. This is also proof i’m still alive!
A Day Off
This is my FIRST vacation day from work! The weather is gorgeous and i’m going to enjoy it. Spend time with family and read The Help. OMG, that is a GOOD book!
.
Since I haven’t blogged much I have no clue what has happened this year. From 2007-2010 i’ve got things jotted down and if I need to look back I can. That is so nice. My weight is also the highest it’s been in a LONG time. I’m not to stressed about it. I know what needs to be done and besides I have some muscle in my arms finally.
.
A few weeks ago I had some IBS syptoms that were unbearable and now I KNOW what my problem is.
Well at least I know now.
.
How are things with Bombshell? They are going great! I LOVE LOVE the workouts and the food is great as well. I’m eating more and i’ll admit it’s freaking me out but I know it’s needed. I think my goal weight is now 117-120. I know it used to be 113 but i’m being realistic here. There really is no need to kill myself and enjoying my treat meal on Saturday has not only helped me but Mike as well.
.
Well, that is my update for the month LOL!!!
August
Hey blog peeps! Nothing really new to report. I’m LOVING my training right now. I’ve never been more sore. It feels great! I’m enjoying the journey and not focusing on a destination right now. I think that is helping me.
.
Last night was pizza night!! Mike and I are really enjoying our date nights out on Saturday. He loves that I relax a bit then. As I get older I realize life is to short to be uptight about my diet and exercise all the time. I’m going to end up with saggy skin and wrinkles and a tight perm. Don’t get me wrong..i’m doing everything I can to fight it but I have a great family and husband and I don’t need to isolate myself like I had done.
.
Short update for you As far as progress i’m noticing my arms are leaner and are starting to look like I workout. If I don’t have a nice butt in a year than there is seriously something wrong with my body. Bombshell workouts are REALLY focused on that lower half.
.
Birthday Blogging
Today is my birthday. I’m 36. Ugh…where has the time gone? My family came up yesterday and we celebrated and I really enjoyed seeing them. This happened and i’m sick today.
Mike and I both feel like poo. So this is a reminder as to WHY I don’t eat sugar!!
.
Nothing fabulous happening today. Just cooking for the week and doing cardio.
.
I scored a bunch of gift cards and $65 in Starbucks cards!! This makes me very happy. I love my Americanos!!
.
What’s your favorite coffee drink?
Favorite things
Hey people! I lost 1.4 lbs this week. I just wish that would continue but slow and steady wins the race for long term results right?
Here are some of my favorite things at the moment:
- My NEW treadmill. Yes, I returned the Sole. The speed transtions were ridiculously slow. I exchanged it for this bad boy! NordicTrack C900
2. My new Keurig! It’s not the same as an Americano from Starbucks but i’m once again enjoying my morning coffee.
3. Beauty Fit Beauty Bum. This stuff is awesome! You can really feel it working and your skin tightening. I have red bum after I use it but I know that’s a good thing! My “cottage cheese” has really diminished and I thank this product. They have a lot more things to look at and try on their website so check it out! I love reading through their testimonals. Click on the red letters!!
(disregard the old lady knees..I will be 36 this weekend)
4. Speaking of bums. Bombshell Fitness ROCKS!! The workouts are not monotonous and neither is the food. Things change every 4 weeks and that keeps the fire going!!
5. Reading. Mike and I have been into reading books lately. We joke that we are getting old LOL! My favorite authors are Dean Koontz and Mary Higgins Clark.
