Working Out is Hard..

Working Out is Hard..

Working out is Hard!  Excuses, those are easy.  It seems like I can come up with a million excuses why I can't work out.  I'm tired, I went to bed late, or I won't have time.

Each day, my thick chick wrestles with the fitness goddess that I want to become.  Some days, the thick chick wins.  Today, she lost.  I woke up this morning, the sun was shining.  I thanked God for the sun and the ability to work out.  Then, I grudgingly entered Toliver's Gym (my home workout area).

The workout was the stability ball with Tom Holland of Supreme90Day

I have done Supreme 90 with good results.  My mantra is, If It Is Broke, Then Don't Fix It.

I like this workout.  I have tried others Jillian Michaels, Leslie Sansone, Piloxing and Zumba.

Nothing really challenges me, like Supreme 90.  I know that I will walk away sore and better, as a result.  The workouts with Tom are pretty much all over the place, but I like it.  He works for me.  One thing he says that changed how I felt about the difficulty was ....If it doesn't CHALLENGE you, it won't CHANGE you!

I'm wanting to be healthy for my grandkids (whenever they should arrive, I'm in NO RUSH).  At this time I just enjoy hanging out with my 4 year old nephew at the park.

Fitness Goddess Wins,  The workout beat the EXCUSE!

On a commitment to stay focused for 90 days.

I GOT, THIS!!

until, tomorrow...when we have our next Coily Encounter.

Shades of Orange

Got the title of the post from Shades of Grey.  By now most people have either heard of or read the book by E.L. James.  Supposedly, Selena Gomez is going to play Anastasia Steel. Don't know how to feel about that one.

On to the title of this post...

Shades of Orange:

During the past 5 months, I have worked my bootay off.  During that time, I have gone from a size 18, weighing in at 221 lbs.  Currently, I weigh 185 and wear a size 10, depending on the cut.

Looking over my photos, its easy to see orange is one of my favorite colors.

As stated on http://crystal-cure.com/orange.html Here is what is said about ORANGE.

Orange is a power color. It is one of the healing colors. It is said to increase the craving for food. It also stimulates enthusiasm and creativity. Orange means vitality with endurance. People who like orange are usually thoughtful and sincere. Lady luck's color is orange.

I started out with Jillian Michaels, thanks to my #OGcurly -Crissy

Began to notice that I felt good after working out, but not really challenged. After 30 days of Jillian, I moved on to Supreme 90 by Tom Holland.  I love his workouts!  Tom reminds me of myself.  He starts on one thing and then next thing I know, we're doing something else.  Talk about muscle confusion.  The 10 set of DVD's cost 19.99 at most locations. (Walmart, Amazon and Dollar General)  You will need a stability ball and weights for most workouts.  However, if you don't have the ball, most videos show how to workout without it.
