We made time for weights and for abs and then we got to relax in the steamroom. Every gym needs a steamroom and jacuzzi. Unfortunately, today I succumbed to a cold! I am currently dreaming of my bed and hoping a few minutes nap will take the edge off the symptoms.
Gots to be able to freely hug and squeeze him! I was able to give Nicole a copy of the Bas. For Defense, I will raise my knee into a defensive position or I will will do inward blocks, twisting my bow stances. Also, When he calls the numbers, instead of just striking forward in a square stance, I will alternate striking to the left, right and in front.
That way it is like I am fighting people on many sides of me. It's fun, try it :. Tuesday, December 16, The Shopping and the Decorating. Called the Sporting Club to get a free tour sometime soon. Looking for a second job to help my family more and not limit my activities too much :. Posted by Arlene Paraiso at PM 1 comment:. Monday, December 15, The Final Picture. And I've been doing Bas on my own and just bought a cool new workout video guaranteed to give me results in 10 days or my money back On to the photoshoot yesterday.
When I got there, it was only the photographer, Jeff. I took the shoot in my 'bad' outfit and was disappointed that my belly still looks yucky in it frontal Anyhow, the side view is pretty good. I know this because Jeff said, "You lost a lot of weight!
I knew it was bad, but now that I am 'back to normal', I can really see what McDonald's and dessert every night can do to a woman! Holy cow! Pun intended My belly was like one big circle.
Heart attack and diabetes? No one was there to weigh or measure us I kind of felt abandoned It was nice though that Rachel and Sherri were there. Gosh those women look gorgeous!
I was able to peruse the computer to see mostly everyone's after shots and I the photos made me so happy because all of my friends looked happy and had such beautiful smiles. Their body and posture just exude it! The energy that day must have been infectioius! I am sad that I missed it. In the mornings, I always seemed to hit my snooze button 5 times instead of drag myself out of bed and get to the gym like I knew I should. I'd always make up an excuse or tell myself 'tomorrow, I'll go' and tomorrow turned into the next day, next day etc.
By not making my health a priority for the past few months, I packed on the pounds and sunk into a little depression. The only thing that seemed to make me feel better at least temporarily was food. I spent a lot of my weekends lounging on the couch watching movies and 'relaxing' instead of enjoying the beautiful summer at the beach. Since I became so used to the 'cycles' that I seemed to go through of healthy living and 'unhealthy' living, I knew I was just in a funk of a bad patch Well hearing about this opportunity was the snap I needed.
I wrote to Karen explaining why I would love to participate in the program and waited anxiously to see if I was selected. The day I got the call that I was selected, I had spent the day with my mother and her boyfriend at the zoo and going to lunch and dinner.
In the days leading up to my mothers' visit, I remember a small part of me dreading her arrival. As much as I love spending time with her, it had been months since I last saw her and I dreaded what she would think of my weight gain. Of course she would never say anything to me about it, but by her 'not saying' that I look good, the reverse was obviously true- and I knew that already. In the month or so before she came, she would say- 'let's do weight watchers together, we'll motivate each other and check in and do it together'.

I must have been really anxious to get going. Looking back, every week was like a mini-journey in and of itself. So C street is a weird one and I got lost in the alley looking for a 'bamboo gate' when I should have been looking for a silver gate with bamboo behind it I wasn't sure where to go and a nice girl kind of pointed the way.
Very soon I saw Karen and she got me started with paperwork. The nice girl that had helped me was sitting there talking with her friend and they looked like they were in great shape! So, being myself, I just straight up asked why they were there when they already looked so fit.
It turns out that she Alicia and Cheri spelling? This was very promising news! I already knew I was in for something good because people were back for more! Weighed in and met Sal. Can't be good for me. Sal was nice, felt badly for him to have to stay in such a hot building.
Met the makeup artist, also very nice. Powder needed to be very powerful because it was a HOT day! Finally the time came where I got placed in a group of six and got to meet Rudy Reyes in the interview. He certainly was just as nice in person as he seemed from his website. The interaction was positive and the group felt already pretty close.
When we had to say our name to the camera, Rudy actually recognized my name from an e-mail I sent him a few days prior, that made me feel very happy! It showed me we were going to be working with a genuine person who really gives a care about people.
Everyday this week, that has been proven to me again and again. We broke for lunch and already Rudy was working out. I guess he never eats unless he works out or he makes sure he works out before he eats. Something like that. I remember catching glimpses of his workout and thinking, nah! We won't be don't anything like that. That's just his own thing I bet we did those same kind of exercises this week. The last thing I had to do was my 'before' shot. But even that was kind of pleasant because once again, the people were pleasant.
What could have been very harrowing, wasn't quite bad. Or as my sisters like to predict, I will look like a "Victoria's Secret" model. Could you imagine!? After the program, if I just grow 5 more inches and lose 10 years off my age, I may have a chance! I kid I jest. BUT I am looking forward to wearing some old favorite dresses of mine again. I wonder if we will have a 'wrapup' party? That'd be fun! I guess I may be getting ahead of myself being that we are only on the first week When Rudy said 'just move', he wasn't kidding.
We just moved! For an hour or so with nothing more than our bodies, a floormat and a pair of dumbells.
