I got this workout done late! I accidentally fell asleep while watching SOMETHING on TV and by the time I woke up, it was like 11 something. Never again! I already “feel” myself getting into bed at the wee hours of the morning. I have a LOT of work to do tomorrow. I mean a LOT! Seriously…

Anyway, I got my work out done! Pure Cardio + Cardio Abs! I’m happy about that. I wanted to go for a run this morning but it was so nasty outside (and it rained for a while) that I let go of that thought!

I have blogs to do for MissJia.com!!! Gotta run! Hope you guys are enjoying your work outs!! NO MORE 1 am workouts for me!!

Woo, that was a great workout! I dunno why I did it but today, I put my iPod on and had the TV muted. I have Shaun T.’s workout memorized now so it wasn’t hard to know when to switch things up a bit. Nonetheless, I feel great! 6 more weeks and it’s OVA!

A couple things I want to point out:

• uber *pause to me for having Ray J. on my iPod and getting too damn crunk when “What I Need” came on. Really…
• I don’t care what anybody says. I miss Ja Rule *pause me again*
• Dawn/Danity Kane REALLY should’ve made “So What” a single. OMG doesn’t that song rock?
• Unusual You by Britney Spears is my NEW favorite song
• I’m still not great at doing man pushups but I KILL ‘em with the female joints, though
• Can we pause me ONE more time for getting crunk about Ray J.’s song coming on my iPod?

Anyway, tomorrow is my off day but I think I’m going to go walking in this park near my house. I had 2 small cookies today and I don’t feel bad about it but it still didn’t seem to taste right. I guess sitting around eating all that chicken and veggies and fruit really changes your taste buds after a while.
That’s about it, people! I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend…or what’s left of it!

PS: I am blessed…so blessed. And you are too! *smile

Blogging has been my way of venting since 2004. So today will be no different.

As I say on my Youtube channel all the time (but fail miserably), I am going to keep this incredibly BRIEF.

I can’t stand when people try to throw that “low key” shade. You know what kind it is…it’s not directed AT you but it’s indirectly thrown your way. Yea…THAT kind of shade.

And that’s all I’m going to say about that.

Done. With much hesitation…but it was done.

Today was one of those days where the only thing I wanted to do was eat loaves of bread and lay in bed all day. I don’t know if I’m PMSing or what but I’m just a bit out of it. I still feel mad bloated.

I think that once this is all said and done, I’ll probably lose like 15 or so lbs but it’ll be inches that I’ll lose more than anything. I think that my thighs have me a bit depressed. It seems that no matter how much I work out or what I do, they never seem to move. I remember when I completed this workout regimen that was 6 weeks long. That’s a 6 week, 6 DAYS a week program. EVERYTHING on my body changed except my thighs. I lost not ONE single inch when it was over. It just sucks and ALMOST makes me want to say “fuck it,” but I know that if I do, I’ll simply gain MORE there and be assed out.

Anyway, that’s that. On to tomorrow…

Almost forgot to post this. I woke up out of my sleep to pee and couldn’t go back to sleep. SO I decided to do that quick recovery, hit the shower and get back in bed.

Now, Monday marks the point where I’ll have only a few more weeks on the program. It’s time to start running and really turning it up. I feel so bloated here lately so I gotta step it up! Real talk. Also cleaner eating is a MUST!

Well, I’m out. Hope you guys enjoy your weekend. I, of course, will be working out!

Deuces!

…I get mad frustrated sometimes b/c I don’t know which way things are going.

…I wish my family was much closer.

…I know I need to be “pray’ed up” but I don’t want to go to the church to get it.

…North Carolina only reminds me that I’m single & childless…and I’m not 100% sure how I feel about that.

…at 29 years old, I wonder if I ’should’ be of a family.

…I like my own personality, as flawed as it may be sometime.

…I love going out but prefer being alone.

…Sometimes, I’m TOO competitive.

…I fly off the handle more than I should.

…I wish I could go back to 18 sometimes and rework life.

…I know that I can’t so I press forward with what I have and throw fingers at my detractors.

…If I could have plastic surgery tomorrow, I would.

…Having insomnia sucks.

…to be continued.

The initial goal was to work out twice today but due to my shin splits, I only managed to work out this morning. At least I got the ORIGINAL thing done!

I didn’t do a work out tonight b/c I am going to soak (in a few) and then massage my shins with some Tiger Balm. I have a business meeting tomorrow (yay) but other than that, it’s business as usual with the workouts.

For some reason, I feel really bloated today. It’s one of those days where I have to remind myself that success doesn’t come overnight. I didn’t pick up my pudgy overnight, so I won’t lose it that way. Blah.

Oh but I did buy an 11/12 pair of pants today! I tried on four different pairs just to make sure. 7/8…here I come! YES!

bye.

Alright, today was a little trying. Fitness professionals and those with more common sense than I would’ve told me to take the day off.

I did a work out this morning and during the last 15 minutes, I noticed that my shins were hurting. Once I was actually FINISHED, they hurt more. I immediately called my mother and asked her what did she think was best. Uh, she’s old school (kinda) so she said “Bengay” and hung up the phone. People on twitter advised that I should soak in a warm bath and then later use cold compresses. I did the bengay thing (I’m so hard headed).

Well, tonight was another workout and I made it through just fine. I AM about to soak in a hot bath right NOW b/c during the butt kick portion of the exercise, I noticed that it hurt to bend my legs back. No good.

Nonetheless, I’m gonna soak and simply hope for the best tomorrow morning. I would be devastated if I had to stop all of this because of an injury. Yea, yea…I could always “rest” for the week and then resume on Monday but everybody knows how that goes. Once you stop something, it is oftentimes extremely difficult to pick back up, even if you DO remember how victorious you felt in starting in the first place. We’ll see. I have some ibuprofen and I’m hoping that that, PLUS the bath will help.

Anyway, I am out! I hope that you guys are enjoying your workouts as much as I am. Post up in the comments if you’ve had an especially triumphant day today!

You can see my previous results by clicking HERE. Or you can simple peep below. The first number is from the first Fit Test I did. The 2nd number (in pink) is from today!

I have most certainly improved a lil bit. Here are today’s results:

Switch Kicks: 71/77
Power Jacks: 31/50
Power Knees: 50/83
Power Jumps: 21/30
Globe Jumps: 10/12 (boo)
Suicide Jumps: 5/13
Push-Up Jacks: 8/20
Low Plank Oblique: 29/40

I also did Pure Cardio this morning…

On to tomorrow!

Lawd…12 days. I think I’m going to go to the steam room tomorrow so that I can just sit, relax and let my pores open up! This has been a tough, tough 12 days. But I’m proud. Tomorrow I have a day off from Insanity but I’m going to do something. I talked about the possibility of going swimming but if it’s as nasty out as it was today, I won’t be doing that.

Today, I had TWO work outs with Shaun T. I had the typical 40+ minute cardio workout as well as a 17 minute ab workout. Amazing how he works your abs with NO sit ups or crunches! Nice!

Monday starts a new week and it’s on! I’m really going to take it up a notch! I’ve been inspired by several people who work out on the regular.

Anyway, today was tough. I worked out late. I’m gonna go to bed in a few! Hopefully I’ll hear about some of you guys starting up on Monday…maybe?
