This blog is here as kind of a fitness journal for me and hopefully, maybe some inspiration for you. I believe that fitness isn't just about what we look like in a pair of William Rast jeans. It's about balance, health, motivation, challenge, self esteem & joy.
I have fat genes and fat jeans! I am Mexican and Portuguese and if I don't watch it, my body will blow up faster than you can say "Gorditia". I work everyday at keeping fit. I'm at a point now where it is fun for me to workout (trust me, not every day) but, most. I start every morning thinking about what time I can work out today and what am I going to do. I'm not one of those people that get up at the same time and do the same workouts each day. No way! I would be so bored working out and my body would probably never change. I don't even have a gym membership (partly because I live in California where you can pretty much workout outside year round). I have to mix things up, so each day I do something different. .
Some days I go all out and others I feel like a sloth and do nothing or I have all the intention to workout and something comes up and I don't fit it in, oh well. Remember Fitness is about Health & balance, not obsession.
On this blog I'm going to be posting a daily record of what I do to stay fit and how I lost all the baby weight. There are comment sections at the end of each post and I would love to hear any new ideas, work outs, inspiration or encouragement that you might have for me and anyone reading. Just don't critique my spelling, punctuation or grammar! I know it's bad, but keep reading and just breathe....

WORKOUT

I did the 30 day shred video.
level 3

It was raining outside and I really wanted to go run in the rain. One of the babies that I watch wasn't getting picked up until 5:45 so, it didn't work out. But, that's why I love the shred. It's only 20 mins. and you get a great circuit training workout right in your living room.
I swear I'm not a spokeswoman for the shred :) I just found a fast workout that's challenging and effective if I'm stuck at home.

WORKOUT

Ryan and I took Cruz for a cruise on our bikes. We rode about 4 miles.
I wore my ankle weights all day yesterday.
about 15 pull-ups throughout the day
before Kate left my house yesterday she said "lets do a workout challenge"
it's called 10,20,30,40,50.
10 burpys
20 push-ups
30 squats
40 lunges
50 sit-ups
you do this everyday in addition to whatever other workout you do. So, I did that too. I think we may have to up it a bit though.

REMEMBER TO DRINK LOTS OF WATER THROUGHOUT EVERYDAY
