Productive Morning ♥

I didn't get a chance to update yesterday but I had a great workout! I ran for about 30 minutes (along side my adorable boyfriend) and then did some ab stuff. Definitely made up for my screwed up workout the day before.

This is a crazy fitness day for me! This morning I went for a 2 hour walk with my girlfriend Antonietta. She calculated that we walked about 5kms. We did that in the blistering heat.. And where we are we have crazy humidity! So it was like 37 degrees celsius and added smog alert. If you don't know how that feels it feels like very thick air. about 3 quarters of the way through our walk we passed a lovely water park. These seem to be popping up everywhere. They're regular parks with "water pads" and its a bunch of different types of sprinklers and such. We decided to get a little bit of a soak to cool down. So we read the sign & tried to turn the sprinklers on. We couldn't figure it out! We poke what we thought were buttons... hit the top of this one useless looking pole but nothing. Just as we were about to give up a mom with her 2 babies came along as we asked her if perhaps the town turns it on only at certain times. SO she pulls her 2 year old child out of the stroller and tells him to turn the water on for us... so we watch this little munchkin walk over... place his hand on top of that useless looking pole.. and bam! Waters on!

CHILD = 1      20 SOMETHINGS = 0

We soaked ourselves and continued on our trek home. That water may have saved our lives... it cooled us right down. Crazy part is we even went at 8am so we could avoid the extreme heat. We made it home and I stretched as best as I could for my training session.

Today... was LEG DAY! It was the hardest leg day I've ever experienced. I did a 6 exercise circuit 2 times, and then we did a 3 exercise ab workout twice as well.

I'm prepping all my yoga gear because I wanted to do a hot yoga class tonight. I'll have to see how my legs feel after work today, but I'd really love to sweat out the water I'm retaining due to my monthly visitor.

And that's that! I'll post and let you know if I make it to hot yoga tonight! Have a great day!!

EmbarASSing!

I had the day off today so I relaxed all day and then went to the gym around 8pm. My boyfriend and I workout at the same gym so we see each other often when were working out. WELL! I'd been running on the treadmill for a good 10 minutes when I got off to quickly grab some paper towel to wipe the sweat off my face when I glanced at my boyfriend and he was giving me the look of DEATH! I walked over and was like "What's with this look?!" To my horror his response was: "Babe! Your pants are completely see through!" I hastily wiped my machine down and RAN out of there! When I got home and inspected my ass you could kiiinda see my black lacy undies. I thought to myself REALLY!? I was pretty pissed off he made such a big deal since they really weren't that bad.

When he got home he text'd me asking me how my workout was. Some choice words were said and it was kind of cute watching his attempts at making me feel better for screwing up my workout.

All in all everything is good again. I love him until the ends of this earth! I'll just have to kill tomorrows workout! Nighty night!

Introducing ME ♥

Starting off, my name is Vanessa. I am a wanna be fittie! I have made the decision to change my lifestyle & get healthy. I don't have a long way to go in getting where I want to be physically. I don't think there really is a finish line either. I just want to be comfortable in my skin & radiate confidence.

So what is my main focus physically? I want to trim down my beloved "love handles". As attached to them as I am, I must depart with them. I joined the gym in January of this year and had an evaluation done where a program establishes your BMI (Body Mass Index), Bone Mass, Muscle Mass, etc, and I'm looking forward to comparing the results. I currently work with a trainer so I know I have made some major progress. I'm going to ask her to do a 6 month evaluation on me to see the difference between the two.

I believe that a fit lifestyle is based on the 80/20 theory. 80% diet & 20% working out. So far that's working for me.

I think that's all for my first post. My next post will be about my gym experience today. But first I want to pretty-fy my blog. Have a fabulous evening!
