Sunday I did a short workout on the Xbox. According to my body media I didn't burn a lot of calories but I got a lot of steps.
Sunday was great calorie wise.
Monday
I went for a 25 minute walk with a coworker and went to the gym.
Recumbent bike 22 min 3 miles 96 cals burned
Tricep press 20# 3 sets 20
Biceps curl 20# 2/15
Shoulder Press 10# 2/15
Row/rear deltoid 20# 2 sets 20
Leg extension 30# 2 sets 20
Pull down 20# 2 sets 20
Back extension 50# 35 reps
It wasn't a killer workout but the strength training was on point because as I sat at work today (Tuesday) doms (delayed onset muscle soreness) sat in. I take that as a sign that I'm on the right track.
The plan was to do water aerobics today but I cancelled that. I have to remember that I'm just starting and my muscles need to recover.
Food yesterday and today was good. Under calorie goal.
Have a good night
Smooches

August 5th 2012 saturday review
Well Zumba class was shortened due to equipment failure. It's a lil hard to do zumba without music. Therefore I had enough time to get ready for the pool and sit in the Arizona dry heat room before water aerobics began. As I sat in the room there was a conversation between a couple of ladies. Lady A has a 18 year old grand daughter that's over 300 lbs and she is trying to convince her to go to the gym or more like make her come workout. One thing I took away from the convo that the other lady pointed out is that you can't make her come to the gym or take better care of herself. You can encourage and support but it has to be something she wants and is determined to do herself.
On to the pool water aerobics was good. It's been a while since I've been the water basically because I don't trust pools. Especially public pools cuz people are nasty and chlorine doesn't clean or kill everything but I digress. I definitely worked muscle groups the I had long forgotten about.
So after class I was in the pool doing a lil extra cardio and was approached by a 75 year old Asian lady I swear she looks 50. Anyway she began to asks how often i come to the gym and explains to me how important exercise is to your health especially as you age. She said 'exercise comes first', when she said that I thought 'no God comes first' and before I could figure out how to saw it the politically correct way (smh) she asked if I know about God or went to church. I replied yes and we had a great conversation about being filled with the Holy Spirit and how we don't have any strength or power without God and how he made her happy. She talked of trusting God because of Romans 8:28
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." So even though bad things happen good can come out of it.
I can't begin to really convey or share everything but I enjoyed my day of working out.
My food journal was on point until later that day. But I'm not ashamed. If you want to see the details friend me on MyFitnessPal.com I am SheeTacular.
Smooches
Be blessed

New Music to Change the Mood of My Day
Today was one of those days where you don't wanna get out of bed let alone get dressed and commute to work. Don't get me wrong I am thankful and grateful for my employment and ability to get up and commute to work but I think you all know what I'm saying. I'm thinking I need a vacation. I need time to think and relax and depressurize. Anyways....I decided to change the atmosphere by playing some music and decided to download a song I discovered yesterday on YT.
Here are the lyrics. Click the Title and the link will take you to here YT channel and she is singing the song live. I hope you all enjoy.
I was watching hair videos on YouTube and SimplYounique had this song playing in the back ground. I was really feeling the lyrics.
The song is ‘Almighty’ (Acoustic) by Christine Vest. Not only can she sing and play the guitar she is a natural beauty.
Here are the lyrics. Click the Title and the link will take you to here YT channel and she is singing the song live. I hope you all enjoy.
Open my eyes
Help me to see
That it’s you that I need
Not the world’s “no guarantee.’
Open the door
No man can close
So that you may be glorified and your blessings may flow.
Deliver
Set free
Cleanse me
Jehovah my king
Almighty
Deliver
Set free
Cleanse me
Jehovah my king
Almighty
All that I am
That I should be
Can you make me to be more holy
No turning back
Moving forward
Help me to prove the power of your word
Deliver
Set free
Cleanse me
Jehovah my king
Almighty
Deliver
Set free
Cleanse me
Jehovah my king
Almighty
Holy Spirit fall on me
Holy Spirit fall on me
Holy Spirit fall on me
Holy Spirit fall on me
Open my eyes
Help me to see
That it’s you that I need
Only You that I need.

2012 Happy New Year, Happy New Me
Happy New Year Beautiful People!!
I hope you all are well. The holiday season is behind us and right now I’m getting back in to the swing of things. I didn’t make any New Year Resolutions or any of the such, I decided that since I have been setting goals all through last year that I would just continue to work on those things and if I see something else I need to add on I will do that when the time comes.
So here are the things I am currently focusing on.
- Balance - giving time, attention and care to: Finances, Health, Spirit, Recreation and Relationships
- Improving my self image and stress management
- Educate myself on the mentioned topics and apply what I learn.
I think that’s enough right there.
I may blog about them in more detail at a later date I’m not sure yet.
So I’m excited about the new and improved me. I’m sure some people will have a hard time adjusting to it but my aim is not to live a life of regret and to do my best to mold my life into what I want it to be. I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
On another note I have some podcasts that I enjoy listening to. They help me stay focused and introduce me to new resources. Some of them are available on Stitcher.com this will allow you to keep your favorites on your cellular phone and listen.
Books I’m reading or intending to read.
Let me know if you listen to or read any of the above. Share you thoughts.
Smooches! Be Blessed.
Christmas Cheer
I thought I posted this but it was in the draft folder. Anyways....ENJOY!!
This is a touching article. It proves you don’t have to have a lot to give just a little thought and time. It really doesn’t take a lot to make a difference in someone’s life.
