Womens Adeventure Bootcamp is amazing!!!!

Ok so a few months back I bought a Groupon for a bootcamp for Adventure Fitness. It is an all womens bootcamp. Pretty excited about it because I had been wanting to do something other than run and lift weights at the gym. So after a month I am addicted!!! It is the best workout ever!! Never the samething twice. The first day I started he did an assessment and my numbers were not horrible. I was in the normal range, 19%. As of last week my numbers were all 10 and my body fat was 13.5%!!!!!!! whoop whoop! How crazy is that. I am so excited. Then to make my day even better went shopping for some shorts at the mall. Ended up at Ann Taylor Loft and got the cutest denim shorts. Tried on a size 8 and...... they were too big. So I went and got a 6!!! I have not been in this size since like high school. I put them on slowly and they FIT!!! All I can say is that I freaking love Dexter and adventure fitness!!! Anyone looking for something different to change up the workout routine should do this bootcamp :)

Lazy Sunday

Workout- none :(

So yesterday was the American Cancer Society Zodiac Ball. It was such a blast!! I was not the decorating committee for the event so we were at The Esplanade Friday night and Saturday settting things up. It was a Madri Gras theme and turned out super cute. Fun bright colors, beads and mask were everywhere!! It was so much fun to get all dressed up for a black tie event. I found my dress at Macys for $59!! I was about fed up with looking for one when I found it. It was strapless black to the floor. Under the bust line was a beautiful beaded band that wrapped around the dress. I loved it and felt beautiful! I did my own hair because I was not going to pay more for my hair than I did for my dress so I turned to You Tube. I found a tutorial and did my hair. I was pretty pleased with it.

The event started at 630 and the fun began then!! I sat at a table with all my gu's, had lobster and steak for dinner and a few too many adult beverages. :) once it was over we had to pick up the irptems that we brought in and I had a bag so full of beads that I looked like santa claus. It was so funny. Then we had the bright idea to go to the flying saucer in cordova. None of us needed to go there. I think we all had a beer and then headed to the house. It was a great weekend followed by a super lazy Sunday of sitting on the couch in my pjs till about 5:00. :) that is what I call a great weekend

Workout- 5:30am boot camp

So a few months back I bought a boot camp deal on Groupon. It was for Womens Adventure Boot Camp. It was a fantastic deal, $18!!!!! Whoop whoop! I went for my assessment on Monday and what he told me I pretty much knew. Decent shape and need to lower my body fat. Ok great! I told him that I want to push myself and see how far I can go. I don't want to get like butch big but I do want to get cute so you can see my muscle definition. And wow did I get what asked for. Yesterday morning was sooooooooo hard. It was slot of interval training with weights. I was sweating like a freaking pig and looked like I had taken a shower. It is a 4 week programs I am hoping at the end of the 4 weeks I will be able to notice a big change.

A lot of people are calling me crazy too because I am doing 2 workouts a day :) why you ask? I say why not!! I have the time to do it so int he mornings I do boot camp and after work I do Anthonys Xtreme Fitness Class and lift weights!!! Almost 2 sizes down is my motivation! I love it! How far can you push yourself?

They make sports bras for a reason

Workout- Anthony's Extreme Fitness Class/1.15hrs of weights(back & biceps)

So I got out of work early today so I went on and headed to the gym early. My class does not start till 4:30 and I got there at 2:45. Wow so I just lifted weights pretty much till my arms and back were jello!!! It was a good workout. Then I did a little stretching and ate my Pure Protien bar before Anothony tried to kill us :). But while in class I noticed a few things and would like to point out a little gym etiquette.

1. Please wear a sports bra
Just because you may be an "a" does not mean that you are are able to go with wearing a regular bra or even NO bra. Yes I said no bra!!!! Jumping jacks and mountain climbers are not pretty on any size boobs bouncing around

2. Wear shorts
And no boy short style spandex do not count. I swear to you this girl was showing all that she was working with. Put some Nike shorts over that stuff and roll with it. Just because you are a size 2 does not mean wear the smallest clothing you can find to the gym. I'm just sayin :)

3. Your a Grizzlies cheerleader, OK
Dancing around during class with your shirt pulled up to show your abs and your boobs hanging out the top does nothing for ya. Everyday she comes to the gym she is just going on and on about how she is a Grizzlies cheerleader and blah blah blah!!!!! Who cares, workout. You are the one that has us do stuff longer cause you are talking during class, Thanks

4. Camisole tops are not gym workout clothes
I know you are saying that they are cotton and comfortable. I hear ya, but just because they have a shelf bra in them does not mean don't wear anything to contain those babies. They still bouncy around like bouncy balls in that "shelf bra". Put a sports bra under there please.

So I bet next time you go to the gym you will notice the crazy attire people wear too!!

Jealous

Workout- Anthony's Extreme Fitness Class/1hr cardio & weights

Random I know :) First is about working out. I go to the gym almost everyday or do some sort of exercise and still find my self not happy with what I look like. I can be at the gym and find something on someone there working out that I wish I had or wish looked like. I have lost 9lbs lost a lot of inches and have people at the gym tell me that I look good! What the hell is wrong with me!!

Second thing that I am jealous about is family. I want kids. I was thinking the other day that this year I will be 29 and no talk of kids in the next 2-3 yrs. It makes me sad :( we have been married for 3 yrs this august and thought that we would at least be trying by now. I feel left out. I want to be excited about being pregnant, buying cute baby things and having a little one running around. I know it will be hard but we have a lot of support between my family and his. Why am I jealous of my friends, because they are all so darn cute with their little families!!!

Ugh!! I guess that I am just in a funk the past few days and I know I need to be thankful! And don't get the wrong impression! I am! I have my health, a great husband, fantastic friends and family but sometimes I think that ya just need to vent and write it down :)

But with all that said there are some great things coming up in the next few weeks! The PRAY Run March 19, a few little ones are having their birthdays, The American Cancer Society Zodiac Ball and a few crawfish festivals!!! So I will leave it at that and with happy thoughts!!

12.25 inches down!!!!

Super excited!! So back in December I stopped drinking cokes, diet dr.pepper etc. It was sssoooooooo hard. I was a 5,6,7 coke a day person. So, needless to say it was hard for me to do. I did it cold turkey. I came home from the gym one day and there was a 2-liter of coke in the fridge and it looked so good. So I took a ginormica sip!! Then my husband was like did you really just do that!! He was so shocked that I worked out for a few hours at the gym and then drank all that coke. So that day I stopped!! And now down 12.25 inches!!!!!

I have been busting my butt at the gym too!!!! Pretty much everyday after work I head to the gym! My favorite person to take classes from is Anthony! He is the best trainer by far. Some people don't like him because he is all business. He does yell and does push people to do more and gets mad when people are talking and stops the music. But seriously if you are at the gym, workout!! I am all about it if it will get me to losing more weight and looking a little leaner. On a sad note though, my sevens are too big :( Boo

Too tall, really??!!

So a few months back my brother was approached about modeling!! Pretty cool huh! Well he had some pics taken and submitted them to Colors,an agency here in Memphis. He signed with them and has done small stuff around here. Well they told him that if he could get the flight to NYC they had some go sees set up for him with agencies like Ford, Red and Click!!! OMG!!! I was thinking of ways to get him money so he could go. What an amazing opportunity. Well he got the ticket and is in New York meeting with agencies as I type!! I can not imagine how fantastic that would be. Yes I will admit that I do watch Americas Next Top Model and wonder what it would be like to do that for a job!!!!! Have someone make you up to look freaking gorgeous, wear superubber expensive clothes and take pics!! Sign me up!!

Well back to my brother and enough about me going on about a job I will never have. So those of y'all that have seen my brother know that he is super tall and in great shape. So I was thinking no problem with him booking runway and editorial jobs! Well I was texting him today asking him how it was going and if he had heard any news from any agencies and he said that all 3 today told him they would not book him cause he was too tall!! Never thought I would hear that in the modeling world! I asked how that works and apparently the designers send clothes to the agencies for models to try on and pretty much if they don't fit you are out. I am assuming that all the clothes made my brother look like he was ready for the high tide a hahaha!! Hopefully there will be better news from the ones on Monday that said they would be in contact with his agency. That would be pretty cool to see him in a mag :)
