Tuesday, August 27, 2013

:-( I know I know :-( I feel SO sad that i have left you guys just hanging the past few weeks! Sometimes "life" happens and i just could not find a free moment to create a post for my blog.  I even slacked BIG TIME on my health and fitness website 

I KNOW!!

But not that i have my life somewhat back into order i am back on track and i can FINALLY breathe. And resume posting for my blog followers :-)

What have i been up to the past few weeks? Here is a little picture story line...

working on building my client base for my business! That has taken up 90% of my time!!

I hope to go full time there at the start of next month!! (PS working on my website!! That should be coming along soon :-) )

Got to enjoy the summer with my girls!!

I SERIOUSLY have been traveling every weekend since the summer started!

So when i get back on Sunday or Monday i hit the ground running with stuff to do for my business AND school AND everything else that i have to get done :-/ 

Yup...this is Jay Z...

We got to go to his concert, and Justin Timerberlake, and  jason aldean, and the backstreet boys...LoL SEE i told you guys i have been busy!!

yup...still sticking to my workouts. Have another competition in October that i would like to do. so i have spent ALL of my extra time in the gym

oooh yea...did i mention the MOUNTAIN of homework i have each week :-/

*sigh* see i told you guys! 

It has been NON stop for me for the whole month of August.

Buuuuttttt i am back and ready to get back on track! 

Besides i need you guys to help keep me on track with training for my next competition!

I get so much positive feedback from you guys you help to keep me motivated.

I hope that you guys have had a great summer so far since it is slowly coming to an end.

...Bikini Competition #2...

Wednesday, March 27, 2013

As Promised here is the update about the competition I did a few weeks ago!

For my new followers i participate in NPC Bikini Competitions

NO these are not your spring break bikini competitions

You have to prepare for MONTHS to compete and do good in these competitions

It requires dedication, motivation, a strict diet, and a lot of time in the gym!

This time i was lucky enough to have a few girls from my area travel with me and do the competition

This was a BIG competition with over 200 competitors competing that weekend

My two other friends placed in the top 5! 

This got them medals and possibly the chance to compete at the next BIG competition.

I did not place as high as they did BUT i did still do really good and i had an amazing time!

I do plan on competing again in June so i just started preparing for that competition! 

It is 10 weeks away and i want to place in the top 5!!! (and get a medal! )

This was me at my first competition:

I think i like my straight hair better! :-)

Like i said before i had an amazing time! You get to meet so many amazing women who have all been working hard and working towards the same goal. 

If anyone else is curious about competing please feel free to email me :-)

Happy Wednesday!

...Random Wednesday Ramblings...

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

Happy Wednesday!!! THIS WEEK HAS BEEN GOING BY SO SLLLLLLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW! LoL Seriously ! I am SO SO SO ready for this weekend to get here. I am sure you are wanting to know why (and if you don't want to know why 2 bad because i am about to tell you! LoL) This Saturday i will step on the stage at 11:00 AM to compete in my 2nd Bikini Competition! I have been in training for the past 12 weeks! This means strict diet...no drinking...and for the past 3 weeks i have been doing 2 a days at the gym (early AM cardio PLUS evening cardio and weight lifting) Yes...i have clocked in a lot of hours in the gym this past 12 weeks! And i have LOVED every second of it! If you want to know more about my 1st competition i did back in October of 2012 you can click HERE (more info about bikini competitions) and HERE (more info on the suit i bought) Here is a picture of me on the stage back in October (just 5 months ago!)

i did take about 2 weeks off and then enjoyed Thanksgiving, My birthday, and Xmas.  

But i still stuck to my workouts and still ate pretty healthy. (i did have a few treats while i was at home in Texas.  Mexican food is my WEAKNESS! LoL)

Here is a little example of some of the things i got to eat...

Who says eating healthy and clean has to be bland or boring!

Sorry i had to water mark my images

Found out some ppl on the net were stealing my pictures and claiming them for their own :-/

Plus i am working on a clean eating recipe book for simple, AFFORDABLE, and healthy recipes!

so email me at infinitelifefitness@gmail.com  if you are interested and want a copy!!

I think for this show i will wear the same black suit in the picture above (the orange suite i bought is still a little too snug :-( i think i ordered it one size too small so i still need to work on my legs/butt in order for it to fit the way i want)  I may have my hair the same OR it will be straight.  and i got new jewelry for this show! 

This upcoming show is in St. Louis and it is a PRETTY BIG SHOW!

So i am def nervous and honestly do not expect to place very high since i am new to all of this but i do hope to at least place in the top 10!!

So on Saturday while you are all sleeping in and enjoying your pancakes and bacon have an extra piece for me! LoL

I will get to feast on pizza, chips, and cheese cake late Saturday night and I CAN NOT WAIT!

Mr. Awesome designed a shirt to wear to the competition to support me and it is SO CUTE!

I will for sure post pictures when i have some.

*sigh* well it is time to snack on my chicken breast and asparagus.  

3 more days until i step on the stage!

but more exciting is that in 3 more days i can have a REAL meal! LoL

Happy Wednesday guys!

have a happy and HEALTHY day!

Happy Hump Day!!!

Today is Wednesday and today is the day i share with you the things that have been going on in my life for the past week!!

I VOTED!!! I got to do early voting this year. is your VOICE going to be heard?

relaxing before my fitness competition!!

the competition was a BLAST!

I had SO SO SO Much fun. i met some amazing people and i can not wait to compete again.

I for sure have binged on sugar and carbs but back to training today so back to my strict diet!

Celebration meal AFTER my competition.

me and my gals all met at my FAVORITE place The Drunken Fish...sushi...martinin's...and of course dessert!!

For my competition...

I was in two different divisions

i got 4th place in one division and 5th place in the other division

it was an AMAZING experience   

I met some AMAZING people.  It was so empowering to be around people who have been working SO hard over the past few months.  no one was mean everyone was so up beat and helpful and i enjoyed every second of it! I wish i would have placed in the top 3 BUT with that being my first show i still have SO much to work on and SO much to change before next time. 

I had fun and i can not wait to do it again!

To be honest there were people of ALL ages competing 

The oldest....a 74 year old man with the body of a Greek god! LoL

I kid you not! the only thing that had aged was his hair but he looked amazing and was the life of the party! 

There were also a ton of moms who were in the figure division.

It was just so interesting to see so many different kinds of people that were there

Well i hope you guys are having a good week! 

I know i am a little less stressed out now not having to worry about this show anymore!

I probably wont do another show until early next year BUT i am going to start training NOW so i will be where i want to be! It is "off season" but there is still SO much work i need to do in the gym!

Happy Wednesday guys :-)

Hey guys!!

Ok Ok...can i PLEASE tell you about my day....

So far today i have:

8:00 am - took med school block test

10:00 am - got my early morning cadrio in (since this is my final week before my competition i am doing two-a-days with my workouts! yea so much fun!!)

12:00-went to wally world and stocked up on more chicken and turkey since i am eating A LOT of it this week

1:00 pm- cleaned up my room! It looked like hurricane Stephanie had swept through! the last few weeks i have been SO busy with school and training i let things kinda pile up :-/

3:00 pm: workout #2 for the day!

5:00 pm- training session for the day! (i am a personal trainer on the side :-)  )

6:00 pm- head to my part time job at the hospital

and here we are now!

I have no idea how i am still full of energy right now and my diet is all screwed up...all this working out is wearing me out...and after this weekend i will def have to take a mini vacation away from the gym. that will last only about a day...LoL but hey! I def need a little break!!!

*sigh* 

i will NOT complain! 

I do love being busy! It makes me feel like i get so much more out of the day!

BUT some days i do wish things would slow down...and that is what tuesday is for! :-)

all i have planned so far is class in the AM and workout in the PM. 

Oh and my competition is SATURDAY!!!!!

I have been preparing for this for the past 14 weeks.

i have put a lot of sweat...and hard work!

Missed meals...missed going out with friends...missed a lot of good eating and drinking to get here

i am SELF MADE! No coach...all ME!

So i hope that i am able to place in the top this weekend.

i have been really working hard and i have sacrificed a lot to get here.

wish me luck guys!!

Oh Wednesday...we meet AGAIN!

Has this week been BUSY for anyone else!?!?

It just seems like my To Do List is NEVER ENDING!!

So much to do and not enough time!!!

*sigh*

I think i need an assistant....LoL

Well here is my past week (in a  nutshell)

I deem this week...the week of cooking/trying new things!!

Yes my diet is currently pretty strict (FYI 3 weeks until my competition!! WOOT WOOT!!)

I made my own home make HEALTHY peanut butter!

i made some egg white breakfast muffins!

I had to come up with some quick and easy things since i am on the go ALL THE TIME!

It saves me so much time and  hassle to just have something to grab and eat on the go!

 

This past week was DOOMS day! I had to make sure i had lost enough weight and body fat to enter into my competition ..and guess what...all the hard work in the gym...all the cutting out my favorite foods...and I DID IT! I lost my goal weight ( i actually went UNDER it...and made my body fat percentage!! 

low calorie...low fat...low carb...and HIGH in protein...oh did i mention it taste like DARK CHOCOALTE!?!? I made these amazing treats!!! Recipie to pop up on my health and fitness site TOMORROW! so if you need a good snack alternative please check it out!

may i introduce to you... Fiesta Lime Salad...i created it...and it is TO DIE FOR!!

OMG i would eat this everyday if i could!! LoL

see eating healthy and CLEAN does not have to be boring and bland!

Well that is it for me! im gonna turn off the computer and STUDY! 

i have a test in a few weeks but i want to make sure i am ready for this one...it has a TON of information that i need to make sure i know :-/ 

oh school...so exciting!!! LoL

Have a great week guys! Stay motivated and have a great day!

Wednesday. What a great Day :-)

*sigh*

This week indeed started off great.  It was a nice slow week (other than the fact that i had a HUGE test on Monday :-/  )

Fitness competition update:

Got my stage shoes in!!! Yes they look like stirpper shoes...LoL But they are what i have to wear

I got all the other things needed for the show.  Only thing left is to get my music together...how i am going to do my hair....oh and my suit comes in TOMORROW!!

So So So excited...its actually Dooms Day.  

I ordered the sute one size too small 

:-O

But i have been working my BUTT off in the gym so i should (well i hope and pray) have slimmed down enough to fit into it :-) pictures to come soon

Well here is what my life has been like :-)

My life: wake up...go to class...go teach fitness class....go study....go get my workout it...go teach another fitness class...after class practice posing for the competition...go home relax/study...sleep

*whew!!* yea...now you guys know why i am so busy!

on TOP of my busy schedule...i present my research at conferences.

oh...and today...i found out that i got ANOTHER paper published!

*BBBOOOMMM* that makes 2 for this year (and we are going to submit another paper soon)

My resume is going to look AMAZING!

All of my hard work is finally paying off. So happy :-)

yup...that is the Oscar Meyar Weinie mobile...and it stopped here...

OF COURSE I TOOK A STUDY BREAK TO GO SEE IT! LoL

and it was def worth the mini study break to go see it. Got stickers and those mini mobile whistles :-)

Why yes that is my TV...and for the first time in two and a half weeks i FINALLY Got to sit down and watch tv!! Yea i know...i even had to wait until last night to watch the new season opener of Grey's Anatomy!!!

Yes i know!!

Being busy def need to slow down now that my show has finally started...

and  if YOU dont know what Grey's Anatomy is you def need to watch it on Netflix!

despite me spending hours a day here...6 days a week....i have not yet gotten tired of being in this place...i actually look forward to the time i get in the gym! It has become so routine for me that i really dont like missing a workout!  But i do get one off day a week...and i had to cut some workouts short last week to study for my block test...but this week i am back in the gym.

4 WEEKS UNTIL MY COMPETITION!!

So now is the time that i put 110% into the gym and into my diet (which has been the hardest part!)

welp...that is my week :-)

I hope you guys are having a great week!

On a side note dont forget to get registered to vote!!

I am not big into politics and all that hooplah that i keep seeing in commercials and in those junk mail pamphlets i get in the mail...BUT i do think that everyone should take the time to vote in the upcoming presidential elections!
