I'm a Rebel!

Hot mud
Baked on mud
107 degree heat
87% humidity
1pm Wave Time
FUN

I am pretty sure that I am going to melt.  If I survive this, I will surely at least have lost 10 more pounds.

Outside of the heat, I am psyched!  After training so hard for the Warrior Dash, I have high hopes that the Rebel Race tomorrow is going to be a walk in the park.  It looks like there will be nearly double the obstacles.  Awesome for me, that's my favorite part.  Actually, I think my favorite part is quickly going to become seeing Xavy stuck in a mud puddle!

Walk with a purpose.

Yesterday, I took our dear Miami native to Washinton D.C. to see the fireworks.   Spending the day with Xavy, I was a little concerned that I would be stuck to my meal plan all day but surprisingly... this man knows how to eat!  We stuffed a bag full of protein shakes and protein bars to munch on throughout the day.  Oh, when it came time to eat, we ate.  Three appetizers, two entree's, dessert and two cappuccinos later, we were stuffed and ready to face the heat to walk it off.  (Okay, So we had cocktails too.  So sue me!)

In a moment of brilliance, we decided to go GeoCaching. Another first for Xavy.  If you are not familiar with GeoCaching, let me Wiki you in on it.


Geocaching is an outdoor sporting activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device^[2] and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world.

We certainly got in a good walk in.  It was really cute to see Xavy getting into it.  Heaven forbid that I touch the G.P.S.. He was a man on a mission.  After figuring out some of the clues and narrowing in on the location, we found the cache!!!  He left a training business card offering one free session in the container.  Hey, if someone calls to redeem it, maybe we can make a trip of it and do "Cache Cardio". lol.  I think he is hooked.  So if you are looking for a free training session, I suggest you get out your G.P.S. and start hunting.  :)

Found it!!!

Out of this world!!!

I just had to try it.

Belts?!?!?!

I need need needed a new pair of capri's for summer.  The ones that I bought (tight) in the spring as my "goal" capri's are now about 2 sizes too big.  Great problem to have - if you are made of money.  On Tuesday night... I hit good ole Wal-Mart.  I still can't get over the fact that I could completely bypass the plus size section without out a second guess.  I ventured into uncharted territory for the first time in a gazillion years... The Junior Section.  I found a size 15 denim capri's that would do the trick.

Getting dressed for my day out on Wednesday, it was apparent that I needed an accessory that was once a tabu in my closet.  A belt!  I found one that had been stuffed in the back of a drawer for years. It must have come with a pair of pants that I had purchase back in the day.  I had to feed the end into the loops all the way around to the center one at my butt.  lol.  Thank goodness I didn't have to pee very often cause unlooping behind my back got real old, real quick.  I also had to use some "chicken cutlet" boobs in my bra because you could see them hollow out through my shirt. I was once concerned I would have my headlights showing in a thin shirt.  Now I am concerned that my bra had dimples where they caved in 'cause Momma's got NOTHING left. haha.  My first personal training client will be paying for a shopping spree at Victoria Secrets for sure.  The last time I purchased a bra from Victoria Secrets was as a Valentines gift for myself when I was 18.  I am sure they have not gotten less expensive since then.  Oh well! I deserve it.

It's contagious.

Success is in the air!

Let's see...Holly is aiming at 30lbs lost. Megan is putting me to absolute shame on cardio. Lol.  Jen is hearing it from EVERYONE how awesome she is looking.  Jessica has guns and her back??? Sexy. Leah is looking fantastic. I have not seen her since high school and she is even hotter now. Damn her!!! Leah also  and hung in on one of my "Warrior Week" workouts. Debi is melting away to nothing.  Lynn's Warrior Dash shirt is about 3 sizes too big now. Barb, she is rocking it in the bootcamps and making damn sure I remember that I keep wussing out. Haha. Oh, and Xavy is now well into his "building" phase for his competition. We thought he was big before? You can see his chest turn the corner a half hour before the rest of him does. Kelly...have you seen her crossfit photos? My hero!

Did I miss anyone?  I sure hope not and if so... it was not on purpose.

I am so excited to even be in the presence of these awesome people. It is really neat how this blog has brought together so many people and have allowed us to kind of create a "team".  None if us are alone. We all have eachother.

Congrats everyone!   Keep it up!!!

My personal training manuals are in and my Anytime Fitness business cards are here!  Okay so the books came in last week and they frighten me. That's just the table of contents.

It is real!  I am on my way to a future in changing the lives of people just like me. 

Wish me luck!!!
