Nancy’s Weight loss Journey 5 Yrs & Counting

Lana, my hip hop instructor emailed us the color for our outfit BLUE!!! I’m so blued out - I have my top, my shoes which is black with blue stripes, my blue bandana and my cap!  She wants to film us for youtube again!!!! Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I have to see what the clip looks like first.  I would hate to send the link and I look like a fool!! Remember I this is only my second months into hip hop so I’m still learning the moves and adding my own style.  I must must must beat at least 1500 calories for kickboxing and hip hop.

I want to kick ASSSSSS!!!!  I want to drip drip with sweat!  I love love to sweat.  I love sweat between my toes, I love my sweaty and wet socks, I love my sweaty top, I love my sweaty crotch………………. I love sweating dripping of my hair and hitting the ground all around me!! It’s all a sign of a good workout.

Not talking about the sweat from a hot room, but sweat I earned!! I earned my sweat and love to bask in it.

Soooooooooooooo anyone with me on sweating a bit today?

SWEAT SWEAT SWEAT IT OUT!!!!!  Oh and the stink that comes from a great work out…………..peeeeee uuuuuuuu but I love it!!!  I heart the dirty dirty of a good hot calorie burning heart pumping two hours of fun!!! OK, better not get sooo excited I can’t work. 

I just want to say, I’m NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT BURNT OUT ON BUDDYSLIM!  I just needed some help and finally I got some recently from a dear friend.  I need aid and she provided it.  Sometimes people don’t realize how much effort it takes to keep something like a forum going strong.  It doesn’t happen on its own.  It takes a lot of nurturing, dedication and being a good and very intuitive leader.  I needed help and I got it!! Thanks girl!!!!!

As far as buddyslim and the “slowness or lack of participation” we all felt, I find that there is a little fire burning under all of us!!! Keep it up guys!  Don’t wait for your peer to be active, YOU BE ACTIVE AND BE THERE FOR OTHERS!!!

Hahaha!  I just went food shopping today.  You know, I got the best customer service from the men today.  Do you think it has anything to do withy my bootaay shorts?  LOL

As I was coming out of the store I notice my shadow - HOLY CRUD - MY SHADOW JIGGLED WITH MY COTTAGE CHEESE THIGHS!  I thought it was hilarious.

Rod and I finally had a talk about the other night.  He was soooo angry with me because he said it took something like that for me to realize how unsafe it is to be out there in the streets.  Even for a simple walk.  His biggest fear always was my ex-huband seeing me and confronting me.  Even worse was a stranger trying to do who knows what was going thru his head.   He said, when he heard what happened, he was ready to jump in the car to go get me but when I told him everything was ok, he just got really mad.  Mad at himself, mad at me - thus the fuel for our fight.

We are good now.  Hey, nothing better then make-up sex right? hehe

Yesterday’s kickboxing and hip hop class was the shi*!!!!  It took 5 class, about 5 hrs for me to start pulling out of shyness shell and really enjoying hip hop.  I am starting to fall in love with it the way I do with my kickboxing, yoga, pilates and bootcamp stuff that I do.

Today I was suppose to get back to my weight conditioning program but I decided to post poned it for another fun kickboxing class.  I went to a gym I haven’t been to for like 2 yrs.  The instructor was a good one.  I had a ton of fun.  She loved me and told me I should become an instructor.  My answer - I like being a participant.

Well, Blaithin, no more running or walking outside for me.  Those days are over.  I can only do it if someone is with me.  We just feel that living in this city it’s too dangerous to be out in the streets.  It’s not safe anymore.  Everything I do is at the gym or the beach if Rod goes with me.

Tomorrow I have a Step and Yoga class to attend.  I can’t wait.

Well, better catch up with you fine buddies today!

I did all three classes today! WHOO HOOOO!!!  Did the kickboxing this morning.  I just got home from kickboxing and HIP HOP.

OK, there is no way I can give you the link to the HIP HOP Class.  As some of you may or may not know, TurboJam is born and cultured in Orange County by creator Chalene Johnson. She also does the HIP HOP classes for 24HR fitness.  Lara and El - were int the turbojam infomercial, El was in both TURBOJAM videos were in class today for HIP HOP.  Lara is my main instructor here.  They both taped it for youtube.

There is no way I can show you all because this is my 3rd class and I barely am learning the routine.  On top of that I didn’t put myself on the email list so I didn’t match the red/black outfit.  I wore pink top and black pants and no cap.

Ok, so this is what I will do.  They will record again in a few weeks.  I promise I will learn the routine and send you the link.  I’m still too shy!!!!!

Well, still can’t do weights yet.  I will do another kickboxing class tomorrow morning and even a run if I can.  OR I’ll find a Step class to do.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, CAN’T DO IT YET…I would DIE if you guys laugh at me!!

I LOVED IT!!!

I don’t know what I was scared of!! I just don’t know.  I had a ton of fun.  I am NO LONGER A HIP HOP VIRGIN!

I ate a ton of good food including 1 fried chicken breast.  But with mainly fruits, veggies 9 servings of fruits, high protein from cottage cheese I had all the energy I need to do two awesome classes.

We did a new routine in Kickboxing!! I loved it.

I was apprehensive about HIP HOP; but I stayed and did it!! OK, so I’m not coordinated just yet, but I did find my own rhthym and style!!!

YAY ME!

I come home to some yummy eggrolls and fried rice courtesy of my honey Rod.

I am so going for a 10K slow run tomorrow.  I’m used to doing 5K’s but I have to start doing a bit more.  No time - just do the do!!!
