...Friday FITspiration...

Friday, April 5, 2013

You are what you eat! Reaching your goals heavily depends on what you eat! You need to fuel your body with the right foods in order to reach your goals Try to stay away from fast food...eat fresh veggies, fruit, and lean meats.
Eat to grow...do not eat to satisfy a small craving

...April's Fool's....

Thursday, April 4, 2013

Each year, i am so caught up and busy that i forget about April 1st. I always get mad when the 1st rolls around and i am looking on facebook or instagram  seeing all the great pranks that people pulled on their friends or roomies.
This year i was DETERMINED to pull a Aprils Fool Joke on my best friend
I set a reminder on my calendar (and my phone) and i made a plan.
My joke included: Total Cost $3.00 Vaseline Clear Plastic Wrap 20 minutes

my best friend and i work in the same office building so it was really simple to plan out

My best friend came back to her office right after lunch i made some excuse to have to go to the bathroom or somewhere and RAN to the parking lot where her car was.
This is the result of my mischief....

I of course had to see her face so i made up some excuse on how my boyfriend took my car to get it cleaned. So as we walked out to her car her face was PRICELESS!!

I wrapped her car with two boxes of clear wrap AND i put a small amount of Vaseline on her door handle...LoL

She parks near a busy street so while i was trying to do this people were honking and waving! LoL

I didn't want to do anything too bad!  Just something that would be funny (and easy to clean up).

I hope you guys had a great April's fools day! 

I hope no one had any CRAZY pranks pulled on them!

It is still hard to believe that it is already APRIL!!!

At least the weekend is almost here :-)

...Instagram Hop!...

These are the 4 major things that you need in order to help you reach your goals.

You body is MADE in the kitchen!  What you do and do not eat has a HUGE impact on how your body will form.  Your body is sculpted on the gym.  The cardio and weight lifting will start to build and sculpt the body you are working hard for.  When you eat right, workout out, and drink plenty of water all of the other things will start to fall into place. 

Sleeping well comes with the territory!

No more restless nights! When i lay down at night, i am OUT within 5 minutes.  I sleep completely through the night (unless i have to get up to go to the bathroom) but notice that i am well rested and ready for the day when i wake up the next morning!

Getting health and fit is about balance

Learning how to balance all of things that go on in your life as well as trying to fit in time for YOU

Work hard for YOU and no one else. 

...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!

...ice cream...

...wine...

... Mexican food...

plus a ton of other great junk food.

It was nice to get to take a week off from working out and eating 100% healthy (i ate healthy all day and then had my choice of a "bad" meal)

But i am also happy to get back to my workouts and eating healthy!
