Do You Crave Salt?

If I am ever snack in the evenings, my water intake up to that point is always related!  I'm really good about drinking water in the mornings to afternoon.  But sometimes I slam on keeping it going throughout the evenings.  Then I start to get snack for salts……chips ( mainly tortilla type chips) and crackers.  Yesterday I made sure to keep the water going and I survived with no salty cravings!!!

Drink your WATER!

Do you have ONE hour to give to your HEALTH?

Up and At Em!!

Can you give ONE hour to your health today?

Sweating for the Weekend

I drank some SuperHD for my pre-workout.  It raised your core temperature and gets you sweating AND on top of that I wore a sweatshirt and long pants during my workout.  I could ring sweat out of my sports bra…..sorry if that's gross!

I wore a sweatshirt during most my workouts this week and I'm hooked!  I made sure to drink Alpha Aminos during my workout to keep me hydrated since I'm sweating out so much water.  Lost 2 lbs. but drank them right back.

I'm in. You in?

Make a commitment to yourself or even better, meet a buddy (this way you are less likely to snooze) and you two get yourselves in a Saturday morning workout.  I PROMISE you will have a better weekend because of it.  

I'M IN.  YOU IN?

Fear of Becoming a Nascar Driver

FYI: she is performing a Deadlift in this exercise.  Great move for your back and mainly your glutes.

This statement could not be more true.  Most women fear the weights for the thought of it making them bulky, manly, big, thick etc…… but if we really compared actually becoming a Nascar Racer to a Bodybuilder it makes sense.  Driving your car down the street is not going to make you a Nascar driver.  You would never just be able to hop in a race car and take off and expect any sort of great placing.  I know I would probably crash and kill myself 7.2 seconds into it.  Same thing with lifting weights.  You aren't going get huge biceps the second your hands touches the weight. 

Ladies don't understand that the women they see that are manly/bulky have been lifting for years and years.  They also don't just lift weights.  They use certain methods of training and eating to get them to look that way.  They are TRYING to look that way.  Most of these women do this for a living.  It is their job and how they make their money!  I have been lifting for years and years….approximately 10 years.  I don't consider myself a bodybuilder nor do I feel I look manly.

With the right training and guidance you can definitely get yourself to look like a bodybuilder.  Just like if you wanted to pursue Nascar racing.  With the right training, guidance and practice you could be one.  We can be anything we put our mind to.  It just does not happen over night. EVER.  

I am going for a more lean and toned look.  So I lift weights and eat accordingly to give me that look.  I also am just fine driving my Chevy Tahoe at the speed limit and taking my kids to school, dance, art class, the movies, etc…. 

I promise when you lift weights you will not get manly.  To be honest with you, you are more likely to never get manly or bulky even if you tried.  It takes such a different lifestyle, approach in the gym and eating regimen to attain bodies like that.  TONS and TONS of discipline.  Just like if you wanted to be a Nascar driver.  It will probably never happen.  If it did you would have to make a total lifestyle change and practice practice practice to make it happen.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON JEALOUSY

Fight everyday to get ahead on the path YOU are on.  

These are my Brooks running shoes which I LOVE to death and a very happy run in one of my favorite places…Flaming Gorge, Utah.

BACK TO SCHOOL

My back to school haul came in the mail! My fast easy breakfast: WHEY protein shake (Mint Choc. Chip and S'mores) and it is my post workout meal number one. I add fruit and spinach to my shakes as well.  This allows me to sip on it or take it with me when doing the morning school rush.

NEON SPORT: VOLT pre-workout.  AMAZING stuff.  Has such a different feel than C4.  I really have been liking this pre-workout.   I find myself having more energy with no afternoon crash.  It lets me down softly!! This is not found on the Cellucor site but you can call in and order through Cellucor over the phone 866.927.9686 my discount still works.

Double the ALPHA AMINOS because I have to share this with my husband, he LOVES this stuff.  AMINOS keep me hydrated during my workouts which is why my husband prefers this drink over Gatorade...Same concept without all the sugars, carbs and other junk.  It also gives me endurance and aids in my muscles durning my workouts.

BCAAs because I don't like staying sore too long so I am ready for another workout the next day This also helps me when I train on a fasted state. I wake up early and would rather get more sleep than wake up to eat and let it digest. I wake too early as is.  I have always trained this way and never get nauseous training on empty.  I still get results when I train fasted.  Everyone is different and has their own methods and beliefs.
