zumba

bon — Sun, 31 May 2009 17:39:13 +0000

I have been neglecting my blog! I’ve pretty much been up to my usual self, work, lulu, xfit and now zumba!

I tried zumba for the first time this past Friday and fell in love with it. Zumba is a mix of all the latin dances on turbo mode with booty shakes and jumping for 60 mins. I have never sweat so much in my life! I sweat more in that hour then I did running 3 miles or even crossfit.

Speaking of crossfit. The husband and I just finished doing the CINDY.

“Cindy”
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

My prediction before trying this WOD was 5. Boy, was I wrong! 20 mins is a long time! I managed to do 9! My arms feel as if they are going to fall off! Hehe…

Happy working out! Oh yes, on my weight front – it keeps fluctuating! I’m at 97 and I can’t seem to budge! =)

Recession?

Recession proof? Yah right! More like escaping just for a little bit. Welcome to a slice of the good life. Now back to the grind! Thinking of our next vacay – Grand Cayman anyone?

My sister Amber is going to Kuwait to train clients. I am so excited for her. Am you are one tough cookie and I love you lots! Come back buff and ready to take those bikini shots.

Crossfit Built

Our friend Martin, recently got Crossfit certified and today marked our 2nd week of working out. Every Sunday our friends meet up and do about 15 minutes of core exercise. Check out what we do here. I absolutely love it! I have always been active most of my life, (I was a big time dancer back in the day) but have been lacking recently. Aside from walking 30 blocks daily to and from work, working out was non existent. So i’m thankful Martin has motivated us to get our lazy butts in gear. Perfect timing with the warm weather right around the corner and not to mention little itty bitty bikini season!

I’ve never had any issues with weight, if anything I have been under. I think it also helps that my close girlfriends are all very fit. Most are fitness fanatics: yoga teachers, dance instructors, belly dancers, professional cheerleaders, fat camp trainers, gymnasts and my sister happens to compete in Ms. Fitness. A girl has got to keep up with friends like that. Having a muffin top would be unacceptable! Speaking of my sister, she will be going to Kuwait to train her client. I’m excited and scared for her all at the same time.

Working out is so important – get that heart pumping. I hate it when I hear people say they don’t have time or make excuses, because there are no excuses. When we went to Ms. Fitness, half the competitors were mothers with full time jobs, 2.5 kids and were in AMAZING shape. All it takes is dedication. My goal is to have definition on my stomach and toned arms by summer. Wish me luck! Unfortunatley, we will have to miss crossfit next week… while we are in paradise, i’ll be trading in squats and pull ups for yoga on Kaanapali beach.

Namaste!

diapercake

bon — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 05:37:17 +0000

So I recently went to a friend’s babyshower this past weekend. Since i’m not well versed on little, little people, I asked my friend Lenore to make me a diaper cake! She is meticulous and knew the product would be top notch. Lenore was in charge of buying all the baby gear and I decided to throw in some big gal stuff to show it was from me which included: Godiva chocolates, sumbody belly butter and bonbon salt scrub, mac hello kitty lipstick, the my melody cake topper and my favorite nursery ryhmes book “This Little Piggy Went to Prada“! Isn’t the diaper cake just so pretty?! Lenore did an AMAZING job – compliments left and right.

Resort Wear

I have been wanting this Rachel Pally dress FOREVER! Here I am shopping for resort wear while it’s freezing outside, all I can think about is Hawaii! It’s so important for the hubby and I to pack up and get out of town! Shooot, get out of the state, or better yet, out of the country! Now that i’m older, i’d much rather buy experiences over material things. LOL Ok, who am I kidding, I still enjoy an occassional Louboutin here or a Prada bag there. Might as well enjoy the fruits of our labor, right? RIGHT… and not to mention, help this terrible economy out! I’m doing my part. This dress will be mine with a new pair of cream colored Christians! =)

Yummy

Hello Beautiful! These yummy Manolo Blahnik’s are calling my name! I am in LOVE with the color! The perfect pop to a black and white dress! These shoes also remind me of the SATC episode where Carrie’s shoes get stolen at a baby shower. Can you imagine someone stealing your shoes at a party? lol I digress…

Dear Husband, if you are reading this, these shoes would make the perfect v-day gift. Actually, we don’t even celebrate v-day since everyday is valentines! Luckily for me, I married a very loving man who performs very romantic gestures on any given day of the year. I love you boo!
