Buy Local & Fresh...Stay in your "Bubble"!

At a San Diego airport, I'm standing in line for about 15 plus minutes waiting to get through security.  Then, suddenly, from out of nowere this lady is at my side. Her boobs & stomach rubbing my backside.  What the freak?  It's totally creeping me out. I'm wondering if she thinks I cut in front of her, she kind of appeared out of know where at my side. As I stepped forward, there she was.  I guess I should say there "they" where. LOL.  I would move forward & be sure to give lots of place to the people I was behind. And to kind of show a "healthy distance". Like I'm trying  to be some kind of "example". But the lady behind me wasn't catching a clue. I guess I shouldn't say behind...I should say the Lady on me.  I wondered if I should tell her to back off or ask her if he had a problem. Now we have moved forward in line about 10 feet in another 10 minutes.  Her large womenly parts are not giv...

Skinny Fat with a Frozen Shoulder

CM came to me a year ago feeling frumpy and weak.  She also had a frozen shoulder.  She couldn't raise one of her arms above chin height.  I said "Girl, you are "skinny fat".  She chuckled and said put on some hard rock & make me sexy.  Well, not in those exact words, but just about.  What I really appreciate about CM is her tenacity and drive.  She did what I told her to do.  She worked out with me a couple days a week and then took her healthy body into her own hands and worked out on her own.  She would go to the "Y" on her off days and do her "homework". What the crap is up with all these """"".  Yes, I give homework.  Whether one does it or not is up to them.  I still remember week 6 when she went shopping and had dropped 2 pants sizes.   Wow, what a transformation.  I felt so happy for her.   She ended up dropping 4 sizes total: from a 12 to a 6.  CM ga...

Before & After in 4 weeks!

"Thank you so much for helping me break my training plateau! I had been stuck for awhile and was getting frustrated.  After just four short weeks doing your H2 training I broke my plateau and dropped TWO whole sizes!!" KP KP Just sent me this email.   I love hearing your success stories, especially if I helped. lol. Her first comment to me months ago was, " You know how your always naming our body parts while we work out, Well, my daughter can't pinch my bra fat anymore. Thanks to all the torture you put us through...it really works!"  I hugged her I was so elated. Girl, you earned it. You have worked hard.  I am so proud of your attitude & fire! Way to to go K;)

Is cheating worth it?

So, 4 days in 90+degrees in AZ... Whoooeeemammma! For this Seattlite...that's HOT HOT HOT.  Gimmy poolside & I'm a happy camper. But, I'm kinda lucky : I do love the heat. When I arrived I was so pumped to see my BFF (since 5th grade) & her kiddos.  Yea! Lets party!!! She is a total sweety... bought me some of my favorite foods, so I was pumped to not have to worry about not eating clean.  Because her eating & fitness habbits are very different from mine. Anyway, I like flying to new places, but being in an airplane totally grosses me out, right. Like, how many other thousands of people sat sweating in that seat before me. And don't get me wrong, I believe in recycling... Just not my AIR!!!! Yuck! So, it is a beautiful summer night: I'm up for a run. Lets go do some sprints, since I've been flying all day...1st vaca workout complete= check!   Next day I take on a mountain with some hieroglyphics and get ambushed by cactus. Not pleas...

Start your day off right smoothies...

So, I show up to class today with my usual Double Tall 20 oz. homemade smoothie.    I mention to my class if you’re going to stay for the full 90 min you got to put something in you.   I’m not talking about a crap bowl of Special K either.   No more skipping the most important meal of the day.   Cause then I gotta deal with crabby/crashing sistas…lol.   Really though, start the day off right. Anyway, I mention “This one has kale;)” “Yuck! I could NOT do that” Blurts out a front rower. Me, “OK, but try this one” “Oh wow that’s good!” she smiles. Heck ya it is.   I don’t gulp down stuff just because it’s good for me.   I like things that taste good too.   I don’t just eat clean cause I like how it makes my body feel and look, but really God made some amazing foods.   You just got to put them together into the right combinations.   So, after they all pester me (ask & beg politely)…Yes I will post a few of my f...

Burn 30% more calories, when Aunt Flow visits!!

With the help of my new "Period Tracker App", I've been notified I have 3 days left.   Crap, no wonder my kids can't seam to do anything right. So, Aunt Flow is coming to visit.  Oh, POOOO!.  Well, that explains why I feel my workouts have done nothing for me lately and my kids think I'm mean and off my rocker.  My jeans feel tighter and Paleo is going to pot...candy is calling my name. But, there is hope. Knowledge is power!  Actually, now that I've been warned, I actually feel better.  Well... a little anyway. OK, so here is the skinny on PMS and exercise.  Yes, there is great insight that is very helpful.  Besides the usual: avoid salty foods, drink lots of water, yes exercise, rest, meditate, and take your vitamins and supplements. There is a science to this madness;)  I'll give you a kiss (Keepin It Simple Sweetie). 1- When you are actually menstruating (bleeding 1-7 days), when all you wanna do is wea...

Top 10 of 39 years...

  What I've learned in 39 years: 1-If you're feeling down, think of 5 things to be grateful for & get over yourself. 2-If you're having issues with more then 2 people... its not them:/ 3- meditation rocks, so does busting a move. 4- let those around u know how much they mean to you. 5- no matter how much u know, there is still more to learn. 6- having kids make u a better person. 7-assume the best, so u don't jack things up 8-worry screws up the moment. 9-muscle looks better then fat 10- skipping, fist bumps, & making silly faces keeps u young at heart!
