Just Flip It

by Nicci on 08/31/2011

Good Times at the Healthy Living Summit with blends, Krista and Shannon.

Frito-Lay had a great display table with information on how their products are cooked in healthier oils and seasoned.

How about a GIANT spatula for attendees!

 

We ROCKED that spatula!

Fitness Recap:

  • Monday- Was a good weight lifting day at Fit Camp. My arms still feel like jello.
  • Tuesday- No packing has occurred yet…I keep looking at things around the apartment; hoping all items will magically appear into boxes. Fixing this fantasy, of boxes magically appearing full, is on tonight’s agenda!
  • Wednesday- Today, I’m nervous about attending my workout because our trainer mentioned we will be trying something new in the gym. As long as it doesn’t hurt me…I’m okay with a new fitness challenge, especially one that will make me stronger.
  •  

    Do you push yourself in workouts, liking new challenges or do you stick with the same exercise routine?

    When  is the last time you posed with giant silverware? ;)

    by Nicci on 05/31/2011

    Wednesday night,  there will be a nice size blogger dinner with some more awesome ladies!

    Body Confidence: I bought a two piece bathing suit this weekend to go swimming with friends (Sunday & Monday), to beat the Texas heat.  For the first time, in years I had little frustration finding a suit and kept all negative thoughts, out of my head….that’s one Summer goal complete!

    Other Happenings: The past month has been crazy for me. I was offered a new position at work. Go ME!  I am now a Case Specialist and I have one job, not twoHALLELUJAH.  Now, I’m about to train a coworker for my old positions and continue training for the new one, and were on a short time schedule….crazy.

    I’m also excited to see what the month of June will bring!

    How do you stay active over a holiday?

    Fitness Confessions

    by Nicci on 05/17/2011

    • Sometimes I do not want to workout
    • Sometimes I make ‘’lame’’ excuses
    • Sometimes I’d rather watch TV
    • Sometimes I hate the slow weight loss progress
    • Sometimes I cheat at my workouts: not completing sets or pausing my dvd player for many, many minutes.
    • Sometimes I’m just HUMAN

    Then I remember I have my workout buddies that make exercise fun, during the those ‘’lazy, I do not want to do anything today’’ times. Plus, motivating tweets from healthy living blends.

    As I’ve said in the past, my coworkers are awesome! 

    Zumba

    It pays to have someone around 40 hours a week, helping keep you accountable.  We eat 2 out of 3 meals together and workout 5x/week.  I also can not forget my awesome trainer.

    Today I went back to a ‘’live’’ Zumba class with the girls!  I was gifted Zumba Kinect for Christmas, and although I love the game….it still can not compare to the energy of a live class.

    ZUMBA IS FUN!!!

    Check out this new video featuring Zumba instructors from a past conference.

    ‘’Caipirinha’’

     

    Confession: I’ve watched this video 10x tonight while doing the dance! Winking smile

    Do you have someone inspiring and motivating your fitness journey? Any fitness confessions?
