Summer has come and gone…

happy first day of September!!!

We all know that means pumpkin everything! Stay tuned for some fall recipe swaps ๐Ÿ˜‰

Well to start off I apologize it’s been forever since I have wrote out a few lines but life has in a sense gotten away from me and not in a good way even though these past few days have been awesome since I have been with my fam!

On a progress note! I’m down 6.1 lbs. I haven’t weight in this week but I did take a progress photo for you!!

I’m still a work in progress and I probably always will be. I struggle and I fall, but all of that doesn’t define me. What defines me is how gracefully I rise as I get back up.

People will hurt you, they will break promises, they will change, and they will change again. Don’t let that bring you down. It only makes us stronger.

Enjoy this beautiful first day of September, as summer fades into fall…

Reunited and it feels so good!

First off let me start by saying I feel very blessed to be able to share my journey with all of you who are willing to listen.

Second one of my bffs from Portland is in town!!! Miss Monica Paid Cali a visit and I couldn’t be happier!

Monica was and has been a fitness inspiration since I started working out in 2010. She is a huge motivator for me and I get so excited when she comes home to visit ๐Ÿ˜Š

Well we got to workout together, met my girl Steph for UJam! As I mentioned a while ago I am a Ujam instructor in training. Completing my certs at the end of August. Well today I taught my first class, sort of I taught a song but it was the greatest feeling! Totally pushed me out of my comfort zone! It wasn’t that great but i did it!

I can go to bed completely satisfied with today that I indeed, nailed it!

And now I’m eating a yummy polenta bake! Comment for the recipe and I will add it to the blog!

Have a great night!

It definitely is about sticking to it and working hard to get where you want to be.

Rest day… Sort of.

Today was a success! So happy I got to see my parents for a few hours too ๐Ÿ˜Š and got to shoot my bow and arrow!

Yes you heard me, I shoot. You can’t always find me in the gym, I workout other ways too!

I got a 257 calorie burn just from having fun shooting!

Took all I had!

Today was the worst of them all but I made it through!

Last night was the best! Dierks Bentley concert with my beau! Only issue is the parking lot was a nightmare. We didn’t get home till 1a. The concert ended at 11p. Weak sauce!

So this morning my 4a alarm rang and my zombie body made it to work before the market opened.

I had no motivation. No energy. No will power. So I rested on lunch. No 2miles. That lack of inspiration carried into my evening workout. However, I made the decision. I WAS going to go to UJam.

It seemed that everything was trying to get me not to go: I had a head ache then my stomach cramped. Nope, not working I’m still going. Then my boyfriend calls and says he left his keys in my car, ugh! 4:55 and 30 mins to get to class. Well here I go back to SM to drop off his keys…. But even after all that.

I MADE IT TO CLASS!

And I’m glad i did! Look at that caloric burn! I’m exhausted so off to relax I go but remember no matter what, push your self to continue your journey. You may surprise yourself how much will power you have!

May the odds ever be in your favor

Well today was the first struggle. I’m shocked and proud all at once.

Tonight I won’t be hitting a double day because I will be enjoying the handsome (not as cute as my bf) Dierks Bently at shoreline! Holler if you’re going too!!

With that being said I needed / need to stay strict with my eating and definitely get my running in at lunch. Well… I struggled. I had a coworker say she was walking to target, shopping is my weakness and my boyfriend said he was sore so there I was.

defeated

I had no motivation to want to run 2miles. But a little voice in my head said ugh wake up Tina!!! Get your butt to the gym. You are gonna be resting tonight! Then my boyfriend stepped on and said “babe you got this lets go to the gym I’ll find something I can do” (he’s nursing an ankle injury)

And boom! I did just that! Drove us to the gym and got my 2 miles in! Definite victory! Best part was I ran and watched the hunger games which I’m obsessed with ๐Ÿ˜œ

Like I said… May the odds ever be in your favor๐Ÿ’ช

FYI Nerium before pics and progress post to come soon!!
