Hey Girls!
Sorry it has been awhile since I last posted. I have been busy and I guess I haven't had a lot to report about either.
Sarai,
I am glad you had that break and have "re-focused" yourself. I think having a break and finding a way to get excited again about working out and eating right is great. I am glad you and your friend are helping each other. I am sure that will help with accountability and it is great to have that extra support. I have thought about doing a journal for my eating, but I just don't think I would keep up with it....in fact I think I tried for about a week a year ago and it didn't last. Oh well! I am sure I would find the same thing...eating more calories than I need to for my body type. Again....oh well!
I will be taking a week off now since Pat and I are going on our vacation this next week. It will be a nice break. :) I really enjoyed that Brazil Butt lift program. It really did make a difference with my butt and thigh area. While my bum-bum isn't quite where I want it to be, it is close. I have also noticed that I am FINALLY getting more shape in my calves. Hallelujah!!! :) My eating still isn't where I want it to be, but I have gotten better...I just can't seem to say "no" to the sweets. My weight continues to sit at 123, which is fine with me. Obviously I would love to get a little lower, but I am not going to worry about it too much. I think when I get back from my week off, I will alternate between CE and BBL, however, I might incorporate some of the cardio and lower body stuff from the BBL program into the non circuit days for CE...we will see.
Amber, how is everything going for you? Hope you are continually seeing improvement.
Well, I hope you are both doing well. :)

HELLO FRIENDS!!!
Are you guys ok? I feel like everyone has been a little "quiet" the past few weeks. I hope that each of you is doing well!!
Shannon - I know it's been a while since your last post, but as always, I'm excited to hear what you'll be doing next. When exactly will you and Pat be going on vacation? Are you there now? You guys have an AMAZING time! No doubt that you each earned some time off and some time together.
Amber - How is everything going for you? Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope all is well!
Well, about 4 or 5-weeks ago, I realized that I haven't really been made any progress in one direction or another and I was ready for some new motivation! So I took a week off from working out and from watching my eating just to pray and think about what would be a good plan for the last 4 months of the year. SOOOOO, I asked my friend Kyla to meet with me and we talked about our goals for health and fitness. She has been doing Crossfit for over a year and hasn't really seen results...not because Crossfit doesn't work, but because she hasn't taken control of her eating. So, our consensus was that we each needed to take control of our eating and be more self disciplined and motivated. TIME TO GET SERIOUS!!! What I decided was to journal my eating each day to make sure that I was staying within the recommended calories for a person my size and build. I found that I was eating WAY MORE that I needed to be. Since I've started journaling and meeting with Kyla on a weekly basis, my weight has maintained a 120-121 range (instead of 120-123) and I'm eager to drop into the 119 range. I can feel it coming!!!
So, I'm going to work hard to meet my 115 goal for December. Not because I think I'm fat...it's just something I started and I want to finish what I started. If I get to 115 and I'm not happy with the effort it takes to stay there, I'll let it go. Currently, I have more confidence in the way my body looks than I ever have. It feels good to "like myself" and it's something that I've grown to enjoy and be content with. Today, I went shopping with Steven and I bought some size 2 pants...granted, they were from Eddie Bauer whose sizes probably run a little big. The great thing was not that I had to get a size 2, but that I got a size 2 and didn't really think it was a big deal. I would have been just as content with a size 4 or 6...to me, my reaction was definitely a big deal!!
I love you girls and I hope to hear from you soon.

Hey Ladies!!
I don't have much of an update. I am still doing Brazil Butt Lift. I will continue with the program until the end of September and then I will take a week off for my vaca with Pat. :) After that I think I will alternate between Chalean Extreme circuits and brazil butt lift...we will see. I am really enjoying the dance stuff that comes with Brazil Butt lift, so I am still really considering doing hip hop abs. My weight has stayed in the same range, which I am ok with since I continue to struggle with staying on track with my eating. I attribute it to my ever changing hormones, but that may just be an excuse...oh well, I am sticking to it. :) I did some measurements and compared them to my last ones and I lost a half inch to inch in my stomach, thighs, saddlebags, and hips, so I was pleased to see that change. I will also say that I have noticed a little more lift in my butt...even Pat has noticed that. :)
Sarai,
That is great that you have someone you can talk Chalean with. Hopefully you guys can do it together....it would be a great support system. Congratulations on your weight...that is awesome! How are things going now after your break? Also, I think it is funny that my butt can hold a pencil too...don't worry about it.
Amber,
You continue to amaze me with your dedication to your eating as well as your workouts. I am glad you found something that is working for you and that you are seeing the results. You look great. :)
Well, I should get going. Hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day!!
