Can’t even think of a blond joke because she’s a brunette Asian…. Day 1 I win!
I got up at 5am to eat my best combo for my workouts: hard-boiled egg, 1/2 an apple and oatmeal. 7am got to the gym and did weights for lower body then an hour of kickboxing.
While waiting for class I was talking to a few participants. Two girls said to me…you’ve changed your physique since I first saw you 6 months ago. Really? I asked because I have lost maybe 6 lbs since then but ante up on my routine and back to doubles and triple class. She said she was scared but always wanted to ask me how I did it. I told her about all the changes I’ve made and that in fact no weight has really been lost. It’s all the core exercise I do in yoga, pilates, my weight routine and the different cardio classes I’ve been taking. She asked about my weight routine and I gave her my advice. Asked me about my food and all that good stuff. So I gave them my recipe on how I did it. Mind you, these are thin girls, they just want to tone up. It was nice and I felt they really paid attention to what I have to say.
My belief free weights, body weight, machines - waste of time, different cardio routines to keep your body guessing, my babies yoga and pilates, swimming - a few more months…. and most of all LEARN FORM!!!! I don’t care who you are, if you don’t know form and which muscle group you are suppose to focus on, then you are not getting 100% from your workout!
I had a great time in kickboxing up until the stereo started messing up. Well, as we did last week, we ended up doing it to no music. Get this though, as we are doing the punches to no music this one girl yells out “SO THERE’S NO MUSIC?” Asian Girl, I looked back at her and she had a stupid smile on her face. Yah freakin’ Sherlock Holmes, can’t you see the instructor has been playing with the stereo for the last 5 minutes?????
Oh yes, I gave her the “I can’t BELIEVE YOU ASKED SUCH A STUPID QUESTION LOOK DUMMY!!!”
So I did my thing, hootin’ and hollarin’ along with other enthusiast - we made our own music damn it! :) I haven’ sweated that much in a minute.
On the eating front - I stayed mentally strong! My man came back with some burgers at midnight. I told him eat it somewhere else but not around me.
Ate my needed 2000 calories no problem and last night I enjoyed to two pieces of chocolate I ate! 
Debbie - I earns my quarter!!!! Day 1 = Nancy!!!!!
Monday is once again my favorite!!! UH HUHH 3 hour block of Step, Kickboxing and Yoga!
Great job this morning! You are in inspiration.
Oh, I would give the girl a look too.
I think your man is crazy! HOW DO THEY EAT LIKE THAT AND STAY THIN??? My husband stopped eating like that around me b/c I whinned and carried on.
hahaha
Our stero keeps messing up at yoga, VERY annoying for yoga…I like her music. 24 Hour needs to fix their crap!
I have zumba and hip hop tomorrow! YEA!!
PS–That is so cool they said your body looked toned, you go!
haha! Earth to the kickboxing girl. lol
I agree with the form comment. I’ve been googling pilates planks trying to see how to improve my form! I think I am always up too high off the floor, but when I try to go lower I fall down. haha
I wish I could actually go to a real pilates class…or maybe find a big mirror to do it in the check my form…hmmm
There seems to be one clueless person in every group lol. Gotta love them though, can you imagine walking around like that?? lol
Flips quarter up and down..I knew you would earn this sucker!! I have complete faith in your ability to do this girl!
much love girl, Debbie
Gosh darn it…see what I get for making fun of that girl, I have my own air-head moment.
As normal girl, your right on the money with the exercises..form is everything. While I know I have a ways to go with it on my dvd that i’ve fallen in love with…I am working on it!!
Good for you with the no night time eating..day 1!!! Woo-Hoo!
Have fun with the workouts tomorrow!
With someone like that girl, it’s amazing they even notice. Imagine having 10 or so of them in a room while you try to teach Algebra II!! Not a pretty sight. I really have to watch my sarcasam when some ditzy 15 year old says “Ohh, you add them!” with complete amazement (or some other stuipid thing). As if I have’t been saying that for the last 10 min!
Good job on saying no to that burger! Such a hard thing for me to say no to!!
You’ve probably gained muscle and lost fat, that happened to me in the past (and it was checked on a special machine) the scale was not moving but I was more toned and fit.
You’re awesome girl, keep sharing the love.
Great job earning the quarter and staying strong. Geesh. I’d give that girl a look too!! LOL!
Look at you go, girlfriend! BTW, where the heck’s my link?? I am so proud of you! You motivate me to try to get back in my workout routine!
so are free weights-like dumbbells- not a good workout tool? I was thinking of buying some -5 or 10 pounds- to try to work my upper body (triceps) but if you think they are not effective I won’t!
I also searched my library’s catalog online and they have 2 pilates videos and a book! I’m going to check those out asap!
Ha Ha Ha on the title Nancy
How cool that those girls came up to you!! That must have made you feel so good! I can’t wait for the day that someone who doesn’t know I’m on a diet says, Hey have you lost weight???
Holly, girl he eats fast food every single day - twice a day! Makes me sick that I can’t join in with him.
Dagny, lower your bootay but also use your core to hold you up when you are doing planks. I do agree, you need to get a mirror from that thrift shop you go to all the time. It’s the only way to check it.
Oh, dumb bells are free weights silly girl! Yes, do get a light set and a heavy set.
SMART KITTY!
Debbie! Work it mama!
LOVE YOU! Hehe
Leona, I ate some of his burger today - two bites but it was good.
I can’t stay away either! 
I really need to get in tuned with what all my muscles are. That way I’ll know what I’m working.
that’s great you didn’t eat any burgers.
round one goes to nancy!
Keep it up!!!
I’ve been catching up on all your blogs and I loved reading everyone of them. I think it’s so sweet how you dedicated one to your Rod and he almost looks just like him, but your right he looks better. He sounds like the PERFECT man and he has found the perfect woman you two sound like you fit perfectly together yay for you and finding such perfectness.
Thanks for posting a blog on gas one because it was so funny and another I’ve noticed with all the fiber I eat and the healthy food mine has become a problem, I’ve tried beano and gas-x neither of them worked I am hoping my beody will adjust if not I guess I’ll be living with it for the rest of my life I just hope I find and understanding man like you have teehee.
Well good luck with the no night time grazing I know you won’t need it anyways your to strong willed. I have a problem with snacking while on the computer so I think I’m going to challenge myself to no eating in front of the computer lol
some people are just so silly! LOVE how enthusiastic you are about kickboxing. I used to be the same when I taught taekwondo. At the beginning of every semester, I would shout myself hoarse until my vocal cords got stronger… found it was the best way to keep people motivated. Nothing better than someone shouting at you to keep going just when you’ve reached your limit… or what you thought was your limit… because with someone shouting at you like that… you CAN do 5 more reps!!!
wow, like, I don’t hear any of that, like, um, you know, singing and stuff…. does that mean we have no music?
hehe, I love playing the blonde, just to see how aggravated I can make people… I’ve had to deal with my share of them and I TOOK NOTES!!!
hehehe, I’m bad, I know.
Who stopped the Music??? Dang…now all I hear are the freakin VOICES in my head…hahaha!
Good for you!! 
Glad you did well on the food and gave skinny girls advice
Like always you are doing a great job.
As for the free weights and machines…that’s all I did for building muscles when I had my trainer and I have so say I build a lot of muscles that way. Now for losing weight, I agree you have to do cardio to burn the fat.
I so could go for a nice yummy burger. But not yet…still ways to go before I am ready for one. Keep going girl! 
Great job on not eating the burger, well at least that night you didn’t
nancy, wtg girl….you are so great….h5 on staying mentally strong…..and giving advices to those skinny girls….
Ha ha . . . love those dumb girls . . . they keep me so entertained.
So true about form on the free weights. I was taught to lift by an Olympic weightlifting coach while I was in high school and he drilled that one in, bad form not only means you are getting everything out of it that you could, but you are also increasing your risk on injury.
I don’t know what more I can add! It’s totally awesome that those girls were asking for your help! Yeah, ditzy non-blonde for sure!!
Great work Nancy! I’m going to have to try that Hootin and Hollerin, instead of gasping and crying..lol… Ok not crying, but slose enough…lol Take care.
Lmao! Good job on making your OWN music, I need to try that!
