Let SUCCESS be you're next STEP: Take the chance and CHANGE your life FOREVER!

Good afternoon all! :)

alright so this is the start of my journey and I figured I should just use this as my journal and share it will all of you.

So the next few months as I prepare for what ever I end up competing in I am going to post from my morning work out, to how much water I drink, to how much sleep I am getting, the struggles I'll see and GET through. What I eat, where I shop prices,EVERYTHING :)

Pictures weekly and all sorts of fun stuff!

Let me know how you learn or grow from what information I may give you :)

so first off today was my first day really working out hitting the gym and eating right!

David (husband) & I hit the gym at about 6:00am

We had to leave from bountiful around 5:30 to get there by 6 because we go all the way to Planet Fitness!

Its cheap and I love it.

So I started out taking a pre-workout called XM+ It's amazing for energy and when you start working out you feel on top of the world! seriously...

So I found this website that has what you should eat and what you should work out daily etc.

It's awesome http://leeapperson.com/figure/dieting.html

Key parts to work out of course for any competition are

1.Shoulders

2.Buttocks/hamstrings

3.Quads

4. Abs

5.Upper Back

So today I started out with Arms, I did 10 reps of each different work out I am sorry I may not have all the names right haha I'll try and get pictures next time

10-Alternate Hammer Curl 15 pound weights

10-Barbell Curls 20 pound weights

10- Bicep Curls - 15 pound weights

10-Alternate Incline Dumbbell Curls 15-pound weights

15-pull up Which I weigh 126 right now :)

10 reps 3X- Over head press at 30 pounds

30-Triceps dips

Then on to Abs

12 minute abs @ planet fitness I do 15-30 reps not just the 12 they recommend

I was lighter on abs today and then jogged 15 minutes and biked 17 minutes :D

Gotta love cardio :)

After my workout I take a Post workout and it's called SmartMix

If you'd like to buy the xm+ or SmartMix Let me know I actually sell this stuff because I love it so much and I can get you it for a really good deal :)

Well where to I go from here I dropped my babe off at work and now I'm writing on here need to go grocery shopping at Costco and Wal-mart..

I'll be back to upload more pictures of what my diet will be made up of :)

and what I'll eat for lunch and dinner

Stay tuned and check back :)

Alright I am back, So grocery shopping is HORRIBLE!
I just hate how rude some people are :/
But I GOT IT DONE :)

Gotta love your eggs :)

cheese and crackers for a snack, love cottage cheese didn't look for any special type.. SILK My new favorite milk ever! chocolate flowered :) probably not the best for me but its my first time shopping for healthy stuff and I was on my own :)

Can't go wrong with spinach and Cheese for salads

Lemons for my water and to put on salmon

and my favorite fish ever! :)

this was SILK vanilla till the box broke :) its expensive I had to save it!

Chicken! of course and turkey meat

turkey jerky for those random snacks and when I want STAKE :)

Okay so I have a super SWEET TOOTH! and this is dried fruit so I eat half of one of these when I want candy, Try it for yourself it works like a charm

Never tried these, Never eat cereal but I heard from someone at the gym they are amazing and whole grain with brown sugar which is healthy compared to normal white sugar. I'll let you know how they taste

A friend from work said these were amazing for snacks I tried one before I made lunch they are not very tasty at all! :( would recommend good thing my cousin has a daughter that I am sure loves pop-tarts which is what they are sorta like..

Last my gallon :) My goal is to start drinking one a day!
