Hey Christine.. you are very fortunate to hang around LA and Darrin If I was in the area I would be there in a blink of the eye BTW well done on your clean day girl
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
things are going good..ok ok ok things are going GREAT... eating is getting cleaner and cleaner but right now im not going to worry about EVERY little calorie...( for now)
by the end of the next week i hope to have some exciting news for all you girls and guys...but until then i must keep keep my mouth sealed..don't want to jinx anything..
today was great going to the Ontario show got to see familiar faces and of course saw LA + Darrin - two faces im sure i wont ever get sick of seeing...
hope everyone is having a wicked weekend and has a good kick start to the week tomorrow/monday..
for all the dads out there - Happy father's day...and don't forget to give your dads a big hug if you can...
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
good things come to those who wait!!!
today has been good besides the weather - its so hot and sticky YUCK...i may go for a swim in the pool and try to catch some rays and work on my fading tan!
had a good arm work out this morning and saw a preview for oprah today looks like some type of weight loss show today..i love watching those so gonna watch that today!
LA- what day is the best to swing by the store I need some stuff and advice on things... i dont want to come on a bad day.
hopefully the rest of my day goes good diet wise but im learning that sugar really should become a banned substance!!!
The hardest part of my entire weight loss has now hit me like a TON of bricks (literally)..
I have gone from 116lbs to 150lbs in a matter of 3.5 weeks ( yes 34 lbs) It is NOT healthy, NOT good, NO excuses.
I have hired Darrin and he has hired me
Darrin and I met today. He sat me down and showed me a meal plan that will be easy to follow and give me the results i desire and need to be healthy. My old mission as he would put it was to pound back as much junk food my body could handle and that is what I did...now my new mission is to get back to a healthy weight and look fit all year round!
I spent 1 hr alone today just chopping my veggies and putting them in bags, tonight I am off to get my chicken and other meats and I am going to punish that BBQ like there is no tomorrow!
My goals are to drop approx 20lbs in 8-10 weeks which will be approx 2 lbs of fat a week. I also will increase my overall strength mainly in my upper body and will continue to maintain and show off my wheels
I went to visit LA today i got some UDOS (YUMMY) and CLA..this lady truely is a sweet heart..deep down she knows i don't look good/healthy but continues to tell me i can do this and gives me the motivation and hope I need! THANK YOU... by the way her arms and butt are looking FANNNNNNNTASTIC... next time ill have to ask to see her ninja turltle abs
So i really did hit two birds with one stone ( i think that is the saying)
Darrin has hired me as a personal trainer at his gym, something I only dreamt about a year ago is now reality! I may be young, and unexperienced but i am motivated and willing to do what it takes to be succesful and to do Darrin and LA proud!
Darrin thank you for your time and believing that I have it in me.
I am excited to get back on track, having a job in the gym environment but most importantly working for such a down to earth, well educated and well spoken man.
I also got the "dreaded" before pictures taken. Something I have learned is that these pictures are just as important as hitting the gym and diet...without seeing physical changes I don't have the motivation I need. So once my body starts to shed the fat I will post the before and progress pictures..just to prove that a little or HUGE slip in diet can really hurt you!!!
I look forward to keeping everyone updated on my own weight loss and my journy with my new job!
My new "mission" begins....
weight:150lbs
bodyfat : approx 22%
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
day two and im going STRONG!!
workouts have been good the last couple weeks and today had a great back workout!
cravings hit lastnight but darrin has it so i still have certain things in my diet to rescue me!!! this man knows his stuff
I really do look forward to my postworkouT meal ( WOW) and my last meal of the day..that alone is enough to keep me on track!
I am so excited the gym has already contacted me about going in for training and setting things up!!! with previous jobs It was always a waiting game and wondering what was going on...not this time!
hope everyone had a good week and ejoys the weekend !
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
I know you'll be able to stick to this lifestyle!! You've got the right heart and motivation to do it!! Congratulations on your new job!! You will be very successful and love training!!
See you at the gym!!
LA
If you are around next tuesday or wednesday...i'll show ya the turtle abs...they are little soft right now (just water) but come Wednesday they'll start tightning up... I'll be posing both day in the studio...
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
LA - count your bottom dollar I'll be around...I'll come watch you pose for sure
Well i got invited to go to the cottage this weekend..my first response was NOOO due to all the bad food that will be there but then thought to myself..i cant live in a jail cell because i want to lose weight and be healthy! So i spent my time in the kitchen preparing my two days worth of food and baked the yummy muffins for the rest of the group - i am sure they will be a hit i just wont tell them what is in them and i am sure the boys will gobble them right up!! IF i need emergency food Ill have that on hand but i don't plan on having one..
Im sure ill be so busy in the water and jet skiing to even worry about eating bad..and alcohol was never my thing so ill sip on my crystal light and diet pepsi while everyone gets hammered then ill have to listen to them say how they will never drink again in their entire life the next day
It has only been 2.5 days to be exact but im already feeling better about myself inside and out...before ya know it a month will go by and some fat will be shed - can't wait!
I definately want to be a personal trainer who practices what they preach..that is my biggest motivator right now...and also knowing Darrin sees me when i work out..so if my ass is getting bigger and not smaller he knows im not being true to myself or him!!!
I ran into kelly at the gym...WOW.... she still looks good a week after all her shows... i wanted to bow down to her on my knees..shes slowly going to get back into a normal eating and working out again!! this lady ROX..again more motivation for me!
Well im off to pack my clothes leaving shortly hope everyone has a good weekend I will check back here when i return!
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
hahahah.....nice name too bad it's NOT TRUE!!! keep at 'er.....just stay positive
as for my progress i can't say i've been honest with myself..some days are bang on some days are bang outta this world......
i have no problem hitting the gym but getting back to clean eating is harder then i had ever imagined
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
lol, the name comes from one of our dogs. Her name is Tubby, and I am always calling her tubby tubster or tub, rub a dub tub, silly stuff like that. I know it sounds like im a tubby too!
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
finally...got my emotions in check and diet is coming along good!!! i will step on the scale beginning of next week just outta curiousity..but main thing is how i feel .. feeling good, cant wait til clothes start to losen up on me!!
hope all you girls are doing good..
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
Stay positive and enjoy your "new" life!!!! Everything happens for reason and you've been blessed with all these new opportunities--Happiness is the best fat burner!!
so im doing a personal 8-12 week make over..body make over once again... grrrr i only learn the hard way in life OH WELL
anyways after a good talk with some other trainers and Darrin I realized that i am just fooling myself and would end up back 190lbs+ if i keep this up..yes darrin is probably thinking she's said this before blah blah blah....but i am gonna make some sort of personal bet of some sort with him and LA pick a date and if i havent reached a realistic goal im gonna have to pay...not sure what but my wheels are turning and ill come up with something...or maybe they can help me out here too..
ill keep you all updated any type of motivation would help but once im 2 weeks in my game face will be on and ill be well on my way
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
Good job Christine!! Now thats the right attitude !! You go girl! whatever you need--you know Darrin and I are always around.
hmmm....september 15th sounds like a good date...lol..if you are ready maybe before or after my show we do some photos at the gym together....that could be your goal..to get some good shots for promoting yourself at work.
Re: ChRiStInE's BaTtLe
DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay..... excellent idea.... either way ill look like poop beside you...or wait being in a pic with you may make me look like a million bucks!!!
can't wait now...
darrin will have to think up something creative
If I was in the area I would be there in a blink of the eye
BTW well done on your clean day girl
Have mercy on us LOL!!
