LOOK GREAT NAKED Boot Camps 2009

OK so New Year's is coming up, you gorged on everything in sight during the holidays and now you are going to make that great New Year's Resolution to lose weight...right?

Well why not actually fulfill that resolution this year?

How?

Check this out to find out how to LOOK GREAT NAKED!

New Supplements

Well we got our new supplements from PJ Wilson, DC in the mail. As soon as we got the package we tore it open to see what was inside.

It truly looked like we were kids on Christmas morning!

Anyways, both BJ and I took what we were suppose to for that time of day, put up our schedules on the fridge and put our supplements in our pantry. I am very excited to see how I start to feel and the difference it makes when we send the hair sample in again. I know it won't be a huge change over night, but any difference will be great!

DISCLAIMER: Remember, these are supplements that are taken to help with the body's functions, not to replace ANY meds prescribed by an MD!

My Music-Split Personalities

I swear people must think I have split personalities when it comes to the type of music I like. I truly like any and all music (except country...HATE country) but my favorites are heavy metal and pop.

I know...wide range.

Basically I love any music that has a great beat to it. Heavy metal and POP are two genres that have those great beats. Here are a couple of samples of music I love...

Here is what I train to. Especially when I am lifting or going hard with my training.




Now here is what I listen to when I am doing any kind of running/cardio or in my car.



Two totally different sounds...but I like it!

Hair Sample Analysis

It is amazing what you can find out with a few hair samples and a test...

For awhile now BJ and I have been looking into more holistic ways of taking care of ourselves and less at the traditional Western medication. Funny thing is I work in a hospital and use Western medication on my patients all the time.

But I digress...

About a month ago BJ met PJ Wilson, DC and over dinner starting telling PJ about my lovely battle with Hypothyroidism. How I just can't find a way to keep my levels right and how some days I feel good, but most days I don't. PJ gave BJ a couple of ideas to start off with and told BJ we should do a hair sample analysis to see what has been going on with our bodies for the past few months. So we did and let me just say it was an eye opener!

PJ could tell things about me by the hair analysis that I had been feeling and going through and not take any blood! As I said above, I work in a hospital and we tell everything by people's blood. Most of the things PJ found out with the hair analysis were the same symptoms I had been dealing with and had doctors tell me it was all in my head!

PJ is prescribing a number of things to not only help get rid of the bad stuff, but also increase the good stuff. I will let you know how it is all going in a couple of weeks.

Now I just want to make sure everyone knows I am not telling everyone to stop seeing their "Western Med" docs and find a "different" type of doctor. But if you are not getting the results you need...get a second opinion!

....2 Steps Back

So last week at this time I was writing about how great I felt and how wonderful my training was going. Then I got hit....with a cold. Well kind of. I have had this cold sitting inside my head and sinuses for the past week and it wants to come on, but I am pounding it with cold meds. Nyquil is a great thing!

Anyways, I still got all my training in during this time, but I wouldn't say it was up to my great potential and I was greatly disappointed. But I am back to feeling better (for the most part) and I am happy to say I have gotten my bike out and am doing a lot of biking on the trainer in my family room. I would rather be outside, but the winds really are kicking up and I don't think I would get anywhere.

Today is a rest day for me, but tomorrow I am going to be up bright and early ready for a great day of training. I will let ya'll know how it goes!

Feel Great!

All I have to say is...my husband is a GENIUS! OK let's hope he doesn't read this and have it go to his head! But really I am so happy with the training and the training schedule he has put together for me. As stated in the previous post I am down 4 pounds and my clothes are fitting so nicely now. I can tell I have lost more than just the 4 pounds. And even though BJ did not invent running or the Kettlebell, he knows what he is doing!

OK, enough of that :)! Yesterday I didn't get to train. Well that is not true, it is not that I didn't have the time, it is that I didn't have any freakin' energy! I work the night shift at a hospital and I worked 4 nights in a row along with all my training and the training of clients. After all that my body wasn't getting off the coach for nothing yesterday! So instead of taking today as my OFF day I am using that for yesterday and training today.

Again my training is going to consist of Jerks, Snatches and Swings with the Kettlebell. I am going to go running in about 20 min (it is 5:30 in the morning...couldn't sleep after sleeping all day yesterday!) and also I have my bike set up on the trainer inside so I will probably spin out my legs today also.

Till next time....

Finally going down!

I am happy to say in the past week I have lost 4 pounds! I am down to 139 as of today (12/1). This is a relief due to the fact that after 4 weeks of working my butt off I had nothing to show for it. But training the way I am now and really keeping my food in check has done great for me.

I must say though, I do have a tough but fantastic trainer and husband. BJ has been making sure I am on my A-game at every training session and helping me realize I don't need to beat myself to the ground to lose the weight.

Thanks babe!
