*I get to hang out with my idol!!!* 3 hrs of pure heaven
LAST NIGHT’S BLOG
Thank you to each of you who took the time to write to me! Thank you so so much! It is going to take me a while, but I will get to each of you. I appreciate the few minutes you took to read, digest and respond. I will certainly take each comment, evaluate and move on from there. Words can’t express my gratitude! BIG HUG!!!
Today I took my sorrow and buried it into 3 hours at the gym! It’s Nygel’s 3 back to back classes. But before I did that, I prepared with the right food. I knew I had to eat about 1200 calories by 3pm and finish off with 800 more for a total of 2000 by the end of the night.
I knew I had to get in fiber, protein and complex carbs. I ATE MAINLY ALL NATURAL FOODS TODAY EXCEPT FOR THE TORTILLA IN MY ORGANIC SOUP! Oh yah! I ate oatmeal, apples, nectarines, gogi berries, nuts and more fruits right before 3pm hits.
I knew I had to buy an energy bar just in case - just in case 2 hrs into it I get exhausted.
Sure enough I did 2 hours of cardio, hard core and had a ton of energy then ate the rest of my EB to do an hour of yoga. This yoga class is Nygel’s meaning it’s mainly muscle building (think of tri-cep push ups regular in between chaturangas). I did 100 push-ups!!! Oh, and we did some in kickboxing too!
I enjoyed every single second of it. What’s amazing are the people that came and hi-fived me for staying through the first two. That was a nice surprise .
For 3 hours I forgot about everyone and everything. It was me time and I couldn’t ask for a better way to end the day.
So, in yoga Nygel wrote something and right in front of class of 70 people handed it to me. GUESS WHAT IT WAS???????????? HER PHONE NUMBER!!!!!! She said you have to make sure you call me. We are doing dinner!
This woman amaze me. She’s 80 lbs of pure muscle; tiny 4′10″ Thai lady who has a rock solid body. She teaches every format including Pilates Reformer which cost $100 a session and I can’t afford at the moment. For her to want to hang out makes me feel really privileged.
I do have instructor friends in the past but we all went our separate way. There is just something special about Nygel. She’s my exercise Idol. I want to be just like her!!!
Despite all the crap that happened over the weekend, I’m glad today went 100% better.
I ate right, will earn my quarter, will not eat the tacos and burgers my people are cooking up at 10 pm and will continue on feeling good tomorrow.
Tomorrow I have a weights+cardio class to do and yoga. I’m on one and I don’t want to stop! :) 
That’s awesome, so flattering that she wants to hang out with you, you must really make a great impression (although I’m not surprised, you do here too!)
It’s so great that with all the things you are dealing with, you can focus and enjoy certain moments. That is a gift, a real talent.
Hang in there, you will make it through all that life throws your way.
Oh wow lucky you well not lucky you deserve to be friends with her after all that hard work you put into your body and put out in her class you are probably her model student. You shall let us know how dinner goes :o)
and all natural food I would love to get to that point in time though glad to hear you did great in the food and eating department I had low cal low fat tacos with my “fake” meat they were delicious. What are you spending your quarters on teehee…
hey I’m only catching up with blogs at the min, so missed what happened at the weekend. Will read back and find out (((((Nancy))))) Hope you’re feeling a bit better now, regardless of whatever happened.
Your workouts are amazing! I’ve just changed up my eating pattern making it healthier… and my body’s reacting with a bit of shock over the past 2 days! I’m sure it’ll get used to it though in the next few days and then I’ll be able to kick some butt in my gym sessions like yourself!
WOW! That is so awesome! Doing the happy dance for you! I’m glad that you got that much needed me time, I think it really helped you. You are on a roll this week, keep it up!
Oh nancy, I hope that you have the most awesome time!

Nancy, thank you so much for posting. I visit your blog when I need a reminder to enjoy my workout. It’s still hard for me everyday to do it, but, once I get started, I always love it, you’re such an encouragement to me, and I can’t tell you how I needed it today. Thanx for the post gal!
