I'm back. My new love for coffee

Hello you beautiful doll faces!!! Those who follow me are probably wondering where I have been the past week or so.... well things are pretty insane in my life as always. There is never a dull moment in the life of me. But I am back and ready to take on the world!

So... I have a wedding that I'm going to next week. I'm really cutting back the carbs and the calorie intake so I can look decent at the wedding. Hopfully I won't eff it up at the reception. But there are usually healthy options at weddings minus the cake and free alcohol. So my "go-to" options are salad....salad....chicken...salad...fruit.... There is it people. What kind of BS is that?! This dieting stuff seriously blows, but I'm trying to be progressive in my life and bad carbs are not going to propell me forward to the body of my DREAMS!

I have a new werido obesssion. I have found a new love for coffee. I have NEVER liked coffee, EVER. In fact, I would have rather eaten a dirty shoe off of a homeless person than drink a cup of coffee. Why do people love that disgusting concoction of nastiness? WHY?!! Because it gives you WINGS!!! It's incredible! I drink a cup of coffee and I feel like I have transformed into an even more awesome person! HA!! Even though the stuff still tastes like bad breath, I will drink it because it has given me an amazing amount of energy.  But I refuse to spend the ridiculous amount of money for the crappy drink at Starbucks. Crap is crap... starbucks or not it still tastes like shit. I will just drink the cheap stuff that they offer us at our office. They try to disguise it in these fancy coffee pots, but we all know its butthole coffee. Gross...

Anyway... that is my coffee rant for the day. Now... GO OUT THERE AND BE SOMEBODY! Drink a cup of crappy bad breath while you're at it! You will feel FANTASTIC!!!!!

Cameron the Great & House Hunters

I decided that in order to reach my goals, I need someone to keep me accountable. You might be asking yourself, "Why doesn't she just use her husband or a friend/family member?" Well, I need someone who I have no ties to. Someone whose job is to see me reach my goals. So I hired Cameron to be my trainer! The best part is, he's doing it for ridiculously cheap!

You are probably wondering where I found this dude? Don't underestimate the power of Craigslist. I literally put an ad on craigslist asking if someone would like to be my trainer and PRESTO... 25 inquiries later, I found Cameron. He's awesome! He really understands fitness and training and has the knowledge to help me get to my goals.

Since this week is super crazy, our next session will be on Tuesday of next week. I'm SUPER RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED!

Anywho... along with the journey of getting fit, my husband and I are looking to buy our first house! Its MADNESS!!!  In an effort to have more fun along our journey, we decided that it would be fun to apply to House Hunters on HGTV. So we sent in all our info, and 3 weeks later we get a response from House Hunters saying they want to work with us! We all now know that House Hunters is completely staged, but at least there is a possibility that we could get some housewarming gifts out of our experience. They said that they have to wait until we are further along in the process before we can be selected. SOOOOO.. I will keep all you gorgeous people updated!!! This just keeps me even more motivated, I can't have my big giant ass cheeks on TV! Another reason to stay in the gym...

Key Lime Pie and Tony the Tiger

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!! How was your weekend? Mine was absolutely FABULOUS! So I have to admit... I had a piece of Key Lime pie. YEP, I confess... I did it and it tasted Tony Tiger GRRRRRRRRRRREAT! But you all know what that means... hitting the gym today like a maniac. Although I did indulge in some delicious treats, I didn't let it completely ruin my day. I did workout on Father's Day and I didn't have a very large piece. But I wasn't going to let my longing desire for sweets ruin my day, so I just had a little bit.

I think this is what I'm learning. I can still indulge, but keep it as small and simple as possible and keep the workouts going. At this point in time, I am trying to remove bad habits and get into a routine. With that comes hard work, dedication, and an immense amount of will power. I know this is going to mean giving up my favorite sweet treats, but whatcha gonna do? Do better next time!

Here is what is on today's meal agenda.  I had a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast... I will have a handful of almonds for a snack. Probably a salad for lunch and some sort of small piece of chicken and a veggie on the side for dinner.  Doesn't sound exciting, but what kind of diet food actually sounds exciting? Diets are not fun! I don't care who you are... they suck! They suck so effin bad! As long as you know this going in, you won't be as disappointed. A diet is a sacrifice and a new way of life. It is a choice we make to get healthier and getting there is a huge challenge. That is why so many people don't do well on diets.

I'm chosing to make a sacrifice for better health. If that means eating crappy diet food for a few months, than so be it! Bring it on beeyatch!!!... Oh, and tomorrow I see Lynx.... yay for acupuncture!

3 lbs down!

I lost 3 pounds!!! YAY! I'm so excited! I'm on my way.  Today I am going to my gym of choice (Crunch Gym) and I'm doing an hour of weight training and an hour of Zumba! I am a huge fan of Zumba and it is sort of like a reward to myself for completing an hour of hardcore weight training. I absolutely love dancing, so if I can get a good sweat out of something I love than I'm all over that!

Tonight will be a test. My brother-in-law and his family are moving away to Austin, TX and they are having a going away dinner at Red Robin. Great. Thankfully, Red Robin does have some healthier/low-carb options for me. I don't think it should be too bad, but no french fries or milkshakes for me today or ever again.

I must say, even though it has only been a few days, my body feels healthier and I feel good about my progress. I just have to stay encouraged and make the gym my best friend in the world. I HAVE GOALS TO MEET!

Speaking of goals, my husband won this crazy vacation trip for us to Costa Rica! So not only do I need to lose weight to become a fitness model, but I need to lose to look good in a bikini for our trip! Even though I have all these goals to meet, it is still difficult to stay motivated at this point in time. Its still early on and it hasn't yet become a routine to go to the gym everyday. Baby steps people, baby steps.

Chesticles and D listers

Chesticles.... they're the female version of testicles except they're on your chest and they're also called BOOBS! Since I have gained some weight my boobs are so enormous! This is actually the one part of my body that I don't mind being overweight. If they stayed the same and everything else changed, that might actually be pretty awesome. People pay for ta tas my size! My cleave is perfect at all times without any effort! Since I haven't had any kids yet, they're still super perky and juicy and delicious.... Sorry... I just really like them. LOL

For the women reading this, how many of you remember getting your first training bra? Well, I kinda feel the same way with these big 'ol titties. I have to experiment with bigger bra sizes. For as long as I can remember I have always been a 34C, probably for the past 8 years or so until now. I have slowly gone over to the world of the D lister. In Hollywood, a D-Lister is considered to be some "has-been" or lame child star. Tila Tequila is definitely a D-lister in my book. She was once famous by she's probably just doing porn or something now. LOL  But in the world of boobaliciousness, the D listers (D Cups) are the cream of the crop! I now know the perks that come with being a D lister. So I'm just enjoying it while it lasts until I go back to being just a crummy C-Lister. And don't get me started on the A listers, you guys have it rough as far as volume goes. But at least the A listers can wear pretty much any style of shirt and it looks fantastic!

With big chesticles come some other issues though. I don't like the fact that I went from a size small to a size large. I have always had bigger boobs, but now it is absolutely crucial that I double it up. Double it up means that you have to wear 2 sports bras in order to get the proper support during a workout.  If you have big boobs, you will know that if you're working out you can't just wear the baby spandexy bras that the boob deprived wear (no hate on baby boobies, you guys are hot and sexy too!). These knockers need some serious support! Double it up and you should be good to go.

When I was at my smallest weight (128lbs) I wore a B cup. They were cute little baby boobies, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with having big chesties either! Even though I am the weight that I am at, I have learned that I have to work with what I got at the moment, big ta tas or not.  Life is way too short and I just have to believe that the weight will come off and I will meet my goals. I think that women are beautiful, we all come in every shape and size. Some women have boobs, some don't! Whatever the case may be, love yourself because you're simple gorgeous darlin.  Ta ta!

The meal of oats,poopy butts, and a bendy straw.

Since I'm crazy enough to let strangers (& friends/fam)  know what I'm doing in my weight loss journey. I might as well share with you what I will be eating on my meal plan. Here is basically what I will be eating today! Everyone has their own type of diet that they stick to and everyone has their own opinions. Every human body is different! This is the diet that will be working for me, so if you have a problem with it you can just take your own meal plan and stick it up your opinionated poopy butt.  I don't care! This journey is about ME! Write your own blog about your own meal plan if its that important. Here ya go...

Breakfast
Oatmeal
3 Egg Whites

Snack
1 Larabar

Lunch
 Salad w/ chicken

Snack
1 Apple

Dinner
Small Chicken Breast
Whole Wheat Pasta

Snack
1 Orange

It's kinda sad to say but I have a hard time drinking enough water. I do like drinking water out of bendy straws though. I don't know if its my weird psychological regression back to childhood, but I just love my bendy straws!! Try it sometime, bendy straws make drinking water more fun!  If you ever want to make me really happy, buy me one of these bad boys and we'll have a bendy straw extravaganza!

I need to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day.  I could get into the biological mumbojumbo about why water is important, but why even go there? We all know that we need to do it, so thats what I'm going to do. Boom.

I haven't narrowed down a specific workout plan yet. But it will be around 1.5-2 hours daily! Today I am focusing on weight training. This will be the main focus throughout this journey. Tomorrow, I will update you with my training schedule and how my workout went today! To be continued my sweets....

My new love affair with acupuncture and a Lynx?

I have found my new love, Acupuncture. If you don't already know, acupuncture comes from ancient traditions, especially in oriental medicine that specializes in the treatment of several different health conditions. This is like your Grandma's old remedies on steroids. It's incredible.

Yesterday, I went into my first appointment to help treat some problems that I have been having with stress and female health issues. I went to The Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. It's pretty awesome because it is a teaching clinic. My clinician was an intern supervised by a trained acupuncturist. Why is it that whenever you go get a massage, or some type of natural treatment the clinicians always sound so peaceful and their voices are so quiet, airy and calming. In Portland, the town of free spirits and granolas I guess it is expected. I mean my intern's name was Lynx.... nuff said.

Anyway, my clinican (Lynx)  asked me about 35 million questions about my health history. They were so thorough that for some of the questions I didn't have answers! For example, she asked me which side of my head do I normally get headaches on? I don't really think about it, all I know is that it hurts and my go to OTCM (Over the counter medicine) will make it go away.

After the 35 million questions, she asked me to lay down and she said she was going to put some needles in me! Those were her exact words. Ha ha Lynx, we're not quite friends yet. Maybe at the 2nd session, but until then just keep the quiet, airy voice thing goin.

During the treatment she put 3 needles in each of my feet, 3 needles in each of my arms, 3 needles on my stomach, and 2 needles on my right thumb. I felt like I had just fallen into a cactus patch (the softest cactus patch ever). It didn't hurt at all, but it was difficult for me to relax at first knowing that I had all these pins in my body. After about 5 minutes I was able to relax a little bit. My body started to tingle and eventually  I was fully relaxed. Maybe this ancient treatment will really work??

Lynx prescribed me some herbs. She didn't say what they were or what they were for and that I was supposed to take 12 pills twice a day.  Yes 12!!!! But they're no bigger than a nerd candy. My treatment plan says to see her once a week for 8 weeks.  So, I believe I am  on my way to health perfection, one needle at a time. Thanks Lynx!

First day

Hello beautiful people! Welcome to Fitarazzi. This blog is my attempt to convince myself that its time to get in shape and get famous. HA! Well, not really but I want to get in serious shape. The best shape I have ever been in. I want to try to become a fitness model. I am inspired by what they have achieved and I want to compete with the best of the best. Please don't get it confused, I don't want to be a female bodybuilder, just a female fitness competitor/model. This blog will track my progress and have some great tips along the way. I am just your everyday girl and I want to prove that anyone, even myself is capable of incredible things.

2005

2012

2013 (Fitness Model Look, I love Pilar Sanders)

In the past I had done some modeling and I looked good, but I have never looked GREAT! My entire family stuggles with diabetes and obesity and I want to break the chain and prove something positive. Here is what I looked like back in 2005 and here is what I look like now ( geez, my tits are ENORMOUS!)... and here is what I WANT to look like. So as you can see, I have had my stuggles with weight. Its difficult to admit these things, but that's how you move forward.

I have recently had a lot of health issues come up due to my fast weight gain.  There really aren't any excuses for not being healthier, however, in the past 9 months I got married, got a boxer puppy,  quit my job, got 2 new jobs (one being my dream job), got accepted to nursing school, decided to not go to nursing school, my husband's grandfather passed away, my favorite aunt passed away, and to top it off my husband and I are getting a house. WHEW! That's a lot, and yes I attribute some of my weight gain due to my stress. When I get stressed all I want to do is sit and watch TV and eat my favorite snacks. Somehow, this removes me to a place of calm. Instead of heading to the gym, I have become stagnant. BAD BAD BAD.   

My doctors have diagnosed me as being pre-diabetic. You would think that getting this diagnosis that I would be on board with whipping myself into shape as quickly as possible, but no, the french fries and milkshakes are so much more fun than getting into shape. Pethetic, I know. But the good thing about fitness, is that its never really too late as long as you're still on this planet.

Today, I am heading to my first acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture is used to treat many different problems. I will keep you all updated with my status. Hopfully posting every day!
