WORK IT BABY ! What does what !

Ok ok people you wants killer abs ?
Yes ! Their it goes, Not much of a mystery but its only obvious.
As Ive mention on my previous post PROTEIN (chicken,salmon,tilapia,shrimp in some cases ,ground turkey )
Your veggies are very very important in your diet it contains high water and fiber content!
Berries are great antioxidant's that help your Metabolism ,inflamation,belly fat fighter!
 
Drinking water can help you from indulging and eating because your brain creates thoughts making it seem as if your hungry, but in reality your thirsty . Drink atleast a gallon a day yes I know its hard.
 
Whole grains, makesure everything is whole and make sure that when you look at your ingredients it does not say bleached flour!!!! big no no!
 
 
 
Leg extension machine: If you want to work out your inner thighs and quads this machine is great. If you’re just starting off then put the weight to 35kg and do about 8 reps, 4 sets(adjust seat to help support your back and adjust the equipment properly to your best comfort). If your legs are not burning by the time you get to your second set then I suggest you add some more weight.
This machine promises to work your quads and your inner thigh muscle, whilst they definitely work your quadriceps I have found myself that they really work my inner thigh muscles, in particular my vastus medialis which is the muscle just above the knee towards the inner thigh.
Do not make the mistake of doing lots of reps feeling comfortable, you absolutely need to feel the burn as this indicates your muscles are working and burning fat also.
 
 
Stairmaster:Im still scared of this machine but this machine is amazing! The stair master is one of the most intense cardio machines that will not only tone and strengthen your legs in various areas but will also improve your cardiovascular fitness. The stair master simulates the process of walking up the stairs, at a steady speed you will feel great for the first couple of minutes but give it some time and your heart will race and your thighs will feel the burn. Again, great indicators of a good work out.
 
Seated leg press: This is definitely one of my favorite machines after a good cardio workout because I get to sit down hehehehe. The seating leg press works your quads, hamstrings and your glutes. When I first used this machine I would do 10 reps of 4 sets on about 45 kg. I now do 15 reps of 5 sets on 105kg. It’s a work in progress but push yourself in terms of weights, you will surprise yourself how much you can push using this. Quick tips using this (there should be a guideline on the machine itself), when you push out from your feet (pictured to the left) push more from your heels, this will really work your glutes, and do not extend your legs to the point of locking your knees – you will cause serious injury to them if you do.
 
 
Overhead weighted squats
 
Your chest must be pushed out slightly to allow the back of the shoulders to support the weight carefully. As you rise from the squat squeeze your glues right in.
Ask for assistance the first time you use this and do not be embarrassed, you need to ensure from a member of staff that your positioning is correct otherwise you will seriously damage your back; overhead weighted squats work wonders for your thighs your glutes, your cardiovascular fitness and I’m sure even more, it is a MUST.
 
Until tommorroooww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHEAT ON THIS !

Yup pretty much sums up this week! Sorry for the whole delay on my meals, I'm trying but its pretty hard to juggle everything on one tiny plate. Insomnia has been hitting real bad this week, So I'm pretty much just drenched !Now that I have more time than ever , I cant seem to figure out how I did it before. I guess
THE TIME HAS COME! I will be preparing my agenda to juggle everything so hopefully that will help me remember and prioritize the important things in my life.
LMAO this just made my day a bit soothing lol. I AM NOT THAT FRIEND.

TODAY WAS MY CHEAT DAY <3

CHEAT MEAL BUFFALO WILD WINGS WITH A TALL GLASS OF WATER WITH MY SIDE OF VEGGIES
  • DINNER

IM SO AS A MUTHA FCKKKRRR SO I HAD TO TAKE IT SLOW TODAY BEFORE I ENDED UP IN A WHEELCHAIR.
 
Lower body again, trying to tone my lower back so .. I did obliques, different techniques, Cant remember the names but search some up and just do them....Of course I couldnt skip my planks I love those biotches, fore arms and I finally have the scars to proove it, planking on concrete and rocks isnt fun.. I did cardio for about 20 minutes.

Delicious -Fast- and Easy. Im talking about BREAKFAST sillly

Breakfast:
  • 2 eggs
  • Oatmeal
  • Avocado
  • Peaches
My eggs consisted of 1 egg white and one whole egg, half a tea spoon of 100% olive oil, I  added pepper and a pinch of salt (pinch)

Oats: cooked in water , a pinch of vanilla extract and a table spoon(,maybe a bit less) of cinnamon powder.
Serving size:1 cup

Avocado my boyfriend. mixed it with my favorite tomatoes<3 and I added a pinch of Lemon in replacement to salt.



Keep it clean and simple<3


Yawnn!

Good morning Bloggees.
Thank you for stopping by <333 Yesterday was my first day back at the gym and well let me tell you guys that this is how I feel 
For (I repeat) personal reasons I am unable to do upperbody or any strength workouts that are too crazy . 

Get PHYSICAL

  • Warm up
--20 minute elliptical Level 9 yesss I almost died ! I was dying at 5 minutes but kept reminding myself that ITS ALL MENTAL, PAIN? WHAT PAIN? then I had to stop because I was getting dizzy lol. Yes its been two months, and Ive never had a problem getting to 20 min.
  • Plank
--2minute plank Planks make for a great introductory exercise to teach proper muscular recruitment if proper body alignment is used. Planks build support capacity for more difficult upper body exercises. Lastly, although it should form the backbone of most exercise programs for any beginner, it should only be thought of as that, a progression, not a mainstay.
  • Lunges w/ weights
-- 5lbs on each arm .. Self explanatory 
5 sets of 10 
  •  Superman 
--2minutes Take it easy this is not fun or easy . This will help your lower back and strengthen your core.
  •  Swim Superman!
--2 minutes .Superman position raising your arms and legs as if your swimming.
  • 10 minute Stair master
--I cant recall the level or speed but I do it slowly because Im afraid to eat shit..

Reminder, Take it slow, take your time, the important thing is that your there and your motivated to become a better you<3 


Thank you for reading <333

Good morning

Yawwnn.. Out in traffic as we speak. Having breakfast, Im having oatmeal that I cooked in Almond milk (sugar free) flavorless and I had vanilla extract so i added a pinch of that and added cinnamon! Deelllliishhh!!!! Its the first time I do it and I will be eating this on a daily basis, it tastes like Arroz con leche. Simplicity ,dont break your head guys. What if you dont like oatmeal? Have boiled or scramble eggs same thing applies on my breakfast post. Have it with a side of veggies and avocado. Its been two months since I was forced to leave the gym (personal reasons) but Im back on it 5 days a week , havent checked my body fat but I will today . So my lunch is awaiting at 2pm ill post a pic of what it looks like and what my workout routine looked like.

Simple is always better

Im tired and so are you! I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow , Back on my 3month diet to lean out and cut nasty fat . YUCK! I will be cutting my blogs a bit shorter because Simplicity is more. I dont want to confuse you guys or Bore you. I hope im a bit entertaining at least. I just wanted to give you guys some knowledge and a sneak peak of what will be going on IF you choose to take this challenge. 
If you thought about it, maybe you should because a healthy lifestyle will increase SELF-ESTEEM , PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY AND GIVE YOU MORE OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE. Just remember that being healthy is a lifestyle, You can have a cheat day ! Dont eat 2 dozen donuts ice cream nachos chili cheese fries wings and pizza and make that a cheat day . Eat your wings and veggies with water. have your thin crust cheese pizza with veggies. Try not to over do it you know . I will be posting my workouts on a weekly basis, once my camera guy becomes available. Just remember that you need to eat 4 times a day and snack in between to keep that metabolism going ! Goodnight world and have an amazing week !<3




EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF GOOD ENERGY AND MOTIVATION IS INVOLVED-Denise

We WANT LUNCH ! NOM NOM


The breakfast post are options you dont have to eat all of that people this applies to everything I will be posting when it comes to meals, Ill remind you this is quick cheap and easy ways! Ill post recipe that Ive created myself and others Ive stolen ( Cause Im From COMPTON) ... 

::IMPORTANT::

You will occur hunger in between breakfast and Lunch so heres snacks and this applies when ever you are hungry and it is not meal time.

::LUNCH TIME::

Yeah I wanted to tease you guys with this Hot DOG , It would be even funnier if it had BACON and mayo. 
  • Fresh Chicken *
  • Ground Turkey**
  • Whole grain Pasta***
  • Steak****
  • Brown rice
* I think the chicken from your small meat markets taste better than the prepacked or grocery stores. Based on my chicken hunts . Add a table spoon of your choice of oil 100% except canola oil. Season your chicken , you have the wonderful MRS. DASH seasoning , seasonings come in all kinds of flavor and they dont have salt ! Making your life easier! Grill away ! You can add bell peppers cactus onions spinach etc while grilling to change your chicken meals.

** Hmmm yeah Ive had a bad experience with this so this is something for all the CHICKEN HATERS! Add diced carrots and peas with mrs.dash meat seasoning. or a pinch of salt (Exception, REBEL OUT) OR make turkey patties and cut them.

*** WHOLE GRAIN WHOLE GRAIN at target you can find Organic sauces , But just make your own. if this is too much then just stick to chicken and turkey .

**** Steak you need your red meat here and there DO NOT EAT STEAK EVERY DAY! Avoid Red as much as possible. This is pleasant carne asada without the heavy seasoning , therefore its not a good thing for those who fuckin pour a whole bottle .

*************************** You down with the brown? I am ! brown rice will help you carb up and keep you full ! Do not over do it , CARBS! No sugar. White rice turns into sugar 

What else?

All these meals need to be eaten with your steam veggies (cauliflower , broccoli, mushrooms, pumpkin , spinach, tomatoes <- I know its a fruit , carrots, asparagus, ) you get it. 

You need your healthy FAT

Hey sexy ! yes you up there! ^^^ 
Meet my boyfriend <3333 I love him and he completes me. Eat Half people, so buy the biggest one and make it worth the while lol.

:SNACK ATTACK::

NOM NOM NOM NOM!
  • Fresh fruit*
  • RAW Almonds**
  • Carrots***
  • Cucumber****
  • Plain GREEK YOGURT*****
* Fresh as you cut it yourself, Not your nieces or babys prepacked Gerbers snacks. 
** RAW RAW RAW! Please read the Label your best Bargain is at Costco they have a Huge bag for $10 . 
Do not get roasted or salted must be RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
*** Fresh , frozen just read your labels and make sure there not injected with who knows what the fuck.
**** YUMMMM. Lemon is fine I guess..... NO SALT OR CUERRITOS LOL 
***** Plain, as in not vanilla flavored or cheesecake etc . ok its really not good at all but putting pineapple,  and almonds REALLY REALLY helps. Youll eventually get immune to it. Trust me......Add fresh fruit , not skittles. 



FOOD PORN!

Now now dont get excited Guys ! lol Its food as you've never seen before . Dieting is not easy , says the QUEEN of always eating out ! (me) Ill be honest It feels like crack is being taken away and having withdraw symptoms ( before rumors start to occur, I'm assuming the mental and physical feeling ) Its not easy but if your ready ,it will be a little easier. I will give you a sneak peak of what I did and what helped me. Me and you are different , lets keep that in mind . So you can ask what to eat in case of substitution because you might not like what I like. 

BREAKFAST:

  • OAT MEAL *
  • BLACK COFFEE**
  • WHOLE GRAIN ***
  • 2 WHITE 1 WITH YOLK. (EGGS DUH)****
*DO NOT buy prepack please save your money it is drowned in starch. Add a table spoon of plain cinnamon to add flavor , if its too plain add half a banana ( this replaces sugar naturally ) The amount to eat 
really varies on you , start with a cup and if this isnt filling add another half. 

** NO SUGAR (IF NEEDED HALF A PACK OF STEVIA SUGAR ) NO CREAMER OR MILK 

*** WHOLE GRAIN, WHOLE GRAIN WHOLE GRAIN! Not wheat , wheat is friends with white bread ! Google it ..you can add a table spoon of almond or peanut butter.. sorry kids no NUTELLA i know i cried too ::sigh::

**** Olive oil make sure its 100% and not mixed with canola oil please. Avocado oil is great also. 2 white eggs and one egg with the yolk , add pepper and veggies if you like the more the better youll be more fueled ! & lets not forget farting like crazy hehehhe. NO SALT! 

THE BIG BANG!

Are you guys ready to get SEXY and Fit this Summer? Lets be honest in todays world who cooks? Who has time to cook? Mmmmm, actually everyone can ! It so simple but we create excuses not to pursue these quick and simple actions. So while your waching TV  season that chicken and once those annoying commercials come up ,you go and throw some Olive oil and grilled those breast ! :] OK .. I get it Denise STFU and get to the point ! Who loves chicken !? I do ! & thats the secret . Last year around this time I managed to loose 25 Lbs in one month ! Say whhhaatttttt!!!!? Yes , UNHEALTHY! I was malnourished and terribly unfit and too skinny. However loosing weight varies, some have better metabolism (I hate you) and some ehhh were on the rocky side . Hey , guess what ?! You can too increase the speed of your metabolism, Ill love to demonstrate the science in this but you can also google it :]  Ive recently started dedicating time to my health and trying to be at a healthy level of body fat, (did you see I did not mention weight as in LBS). I was at a terrible 33% , However I wasnt looking like RAKISHI . Why body fat and not the scale? One, the scale measure your body weight, not your muscle mass! Body fat is what is noticeable (love handles, beer belly, double chin) So while your pumping Iron at the gym and you start seeing more definition in your body ( Takes about a month ) that my friends is body fat being released from your body ! So hop on the scale and guess what your heavier now than before... Dont have a panic attack ! Youve increase your muscle mass and decrease fat ! So, AVOID THAT EVIL SCALE! It is not your friend!  Loosing weight is all in what you eat, no really it is GYM>FOOD! So below or on top (i dont know where the next blog will end up ) Ill post an example of what I do starting tomorrow. Ive back tracked for the last 2 months (Take a look at my I.G ) so Tomorrow im going back on the diet that rich in flavor, nutrients and vitamins to get you that body you wish and desire because Fit is sexier than being skinny with no definition! 


Fit is the NEW sexy is dedicated only to getting to a healthy weight goal . Please consult your Doctor if dietary changes will occur. This is not intended for everyone, specially those with special health issues. I hope I can help and educate you as I myself am still learning. !
