VP Health & Fitness

WOW! Week 12 already… Almost half way through my Civilian Fitness Program and there are 10 more days until my 90 days progress pictures & updated stats & measurements!!! I don’t know if there has been much progress since day 60 (weight & inch loss) although I DO feel better and better each day & i’m challenging myself in every workout. My clothes are fitting better and some are literaly falling off my body!!! Will have to give them away soon.

My eats this week have been good, not excellent, but good. I’m feeling soooo much better since i’ve cut back on whole wheat/grains. I’m replacing those carbs with more yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes, beans & legumes, white corn tortillas & lots of fibrous veggies. I’ve also gone back to the BFFM baseline ratios of 50-30-20 (carbs, protein, fats - respectively) & things seem to be moving a long pretty good.

Everytime i’m lifting weights i’m challenging myself to always do one more rep and i’m always improving in my strength. My Quads & Arms are exploding (although they are still covered with a layer of fat), but I feel sooo much stronger!!!

I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!!!!!!!! ARRRRR!!!! LOL.

I finally went to my moms house and picked up the rest of my Kinesiology books. My Kinesiology degree is on hold for the moment, however, one of my 12 month goals is to become and ISSA certified personal trainer, so i’m brushing up on my exercise physiology & other things I need to study for. Will probably be ordering their study materials soon after. My ultimate goals (5-10 years) are to be an certified strength & conditioning specialist (CSCS) , a NSCA-certified personal trainer, and to finish my bachelor degree (have 2 semesters left) in Exercise Science (Kinesilogy) at the University of Texas at El Paso. I might even throw in a Registered Dietician (RD) or Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) down the road but I have to find the right program for that.

Anyhow… here are my recaps of Day 80:

• 7.5 hours of sleep
• Exercise for the day #1 - finished lower body strength training & HIIT cardio on elleptical machine ( I am SOOOOOOO sore!)
  • TOTAL exercise time: 60 minutes
  • TOTAL calories burned: 650 calories
• Water - good over 1 gallon
• Eating- good

Good night world!
