Journey to the Hot Bod-Mission Possible

Journey to the Hot Bod-Mission Possible

I am really getting into the vibe of the gym. Today I did 15 mins on the treadmill to warm up, and then 10 mins on the bicycle….These are the hardest parts for me; mi nuh like run nor cycle! I get tired (or bored) after 5 mins of running, but I can dance and do aerobics for HOURS! Is it just me?


Anyway; Today I focused on my legs. I have very powerful legs, so I have to be very careful… especially with my calves (that look like full grown cows, actually…KIDDING!) so I steered clear of the calf machines.


I ended the session with abs as usual. And today I used ALL MACHINES to work my abs, to prove to my husband and a doubting friend, Onoka (who swear seh mi a lie bout mi 500 abs a day) that it was a very probable task! Him rude! Lol.

I made sure to do the abs alongside my hubby, who quickly gave up after the first 200, leaving me smug with victory. Can't wait to face-off with Onoka, we have a bet… think I winning a shopping spree…or ice cream.

Anyhoo, I came home satisfied, with tighter abs. Whohoooooooo!!!! 08 here I come! I fell into bed and slept for hours!!! Sleep at last; sleep at last…Thank God almighty, I got sleep at last!!!

Tomorrow I am bringing my sparring gloves and gonna hit the boxing cage and unwind in the sauna. Will tell you how that goes.

Quest For the Hot Body- Days 2&3

Written: Thursday, December 13, 2007

It's day 3 and I am in paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!!! But good pain... the kind that makes you feel like it's working. As long as I don't laugh, cough or lay down to sleep, I should be aaaiiiight!

Now, I missed the gym yesterday. YUP! Couldn't go because of my crazy schedule...BUT you would be proud of me because I worked out at home. I did 500 abs and some stretches. So I didn't cheat the workout.

Day 3 brought the threat of a winter storm in the area of NY / NJ. so once again I am kept from the gym. BUT as timing would have it, my precious friend sent me 2 Yoga DVDs from Canada. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! So if I don't make it to the gym this evening, I shall be yoga-ing... not a bad exchange at all and let's see if I can grit my teeth, bear the pain and run 500 more abs.

Dream Gym

Did I mention this Gym is my DREAM GYM? Yup! It has everything I want in a gym and more. I used to be a gym buff (5-7 days a week!!!) and had a smoking bod and sexy-ass abs, so I get emotional about the right gym.

This gym has a sauna (So I can unwind after a hectic week), a boxing cage (Hey, I'm married... I WILL need to punch something sometime! hehe...kidding honeyyyyyyyyyy), a basketball court (for my hubby), racquet ball court (which I won't ever use, but it's great to have options), great equipment, huge space...

and...

I saved the best for last...

check it out....

they have...

TREADMILLS WITH THEIR OWN TVs ATTACHED TO IT...
all mine...MINEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Sorry, this weighed heavily in my decision to join the gym because I am a TV tete!!!) I am slightly addicted to the court television shows- Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Maria Lopez, Judge Mathis, Divorce Court... and COURT TV, go figure. both extremes of the legal system.

Anyway, I love this gym and I look forward to my next workout tomorrow! Will update you in a few.

Journey to Sexyyy!!!! Gym day 1

Written: Wednesday, December 12, 2007

DAY 1 AT THE GYM!!!!


I am getting back to sexy!!!! I am determined to start 2008 with better habits and definitely a better bod.

So today was day 1 at the gym ( ok, I guess yesterday since it is after midnight). It was grrrrrrrrreat!

Didn't do much...wanted to take it easy and wean myself in. It was 15 mins on the treadmill, 15 mins playing basketball with hubby,15 mins abs and 15 mins on the treadmill again.
Not bad.

The end product will be a fierce business woman with a stronger sense of self because of the pride inside and out. it may seem superficial, but it amazing how outward things reflect the inside.

Ever had a messy room... and just could not organize your own thoughts as a result? Ever felt aweful about yourself and felt much better after something simple like getting your hair done??? It is a reality that the outward environment and appearance reflect what is inside.. what is inside may even be a product of what is outward.

This is one of my major resolutions for 2008... I think it is important to find the things that block your happiness, block your self esteem and keep you from being the best you possible.
What is blocking you from you?


Think about it... remove it... be fabulous!!!!!
