I told myself i'd do a progress shot the beginning of May.
I've been heading to the gym since the second week of April with my niece,
we've been going 6 times a week.
We started off by doing cardio of our choice (treadmill, stairmaster, eliptical, cycling),
then we'd do weights.
Last week we started doing Cardio last, and weights first.
I weigh myself each week, and I actually gained a few pounds.
I felt discourage, but I didn't want to take progress pictures just yet.
I was waiting until May.
I went from 125lbs to 129lbs.
I hope that's all muscle weight!!
I finally took my progress pictures today,
and oh boy did it blew me away.
I didn't even know I was getting such results,
but after comparing it to my past pictures,
it made me realize that hard work really does pay off.
Also, patience!
I'm not quite where I want to be,
I want to atleast be 115lbs or maybe 112lbs.
I still have a long way to go and my diet has been all that great either.
Once I get eating clean situated, i'll probably see more better results.
I'm struggling mostly on my legs, specifically my thighs.
They're getting toned, but they aren't shrinking.
I know it'll take patience, because my thighs are like fat magnets.
All my fat goes to my thighs!!
I've seen a reduction in cellulite as well!
I saw definition first in my arms.
Hopefully they don't get too big. I'm only curling
10lbs.
Anyways, enough talking here are some progress pictures.
Also, we follow Jamie Eason's Live fit Trainer program
for weight lifting on bodybuilding.com
It's been a moment since i've actually update this blog.
However, I've been working out. I've been doing a mixture of
workouts that way I won't be bored doing the same thing over and over
and eventually avoid working out.
What i've been doing is basically mixing everything up. One day I'll do insanity,
the other day, ill run and and lift weights. Following day i might do insanity, Les mills, turbo fire, p90x ect.
Just mixing things up to confuse my body so it won't get use to the same workout
over and over and therefore, i'll probably see results quicker.
I'm incorporating weight training into my exercises as well.
Yesterday, my niece and I attended a 6am spin class at our local gym.
We were both first timers and usually on friday's they do HIIT training.
It was intense! Lol.. we both didn't know what to expect and our legs
felt like Jello afterwards. Overall it was a great workout, and it was something new for us.
We're trying to change up our cardio by doing new cardio workouts.
Glad we attended!!
Any hoO here are some pictures throughout the week during and after workouts.

I passed my NCLEX-RN EXAM!!
It's been a crazy couple of weeks trying to study for that exam.
I would study until the following morning and sleep at 5am.
I stayed home and just focused on studying!
Test day came which was March 13, and I came in
so nervous. After the 75th question, the Test shut off on me, and I was finished.
I didn't feel too good about it..
But for some reason it felt like I passed.
2 days later, I saw my name on the BRN website!!
How exciting!
I just want to thank everyone for praying for me!
It's been such a crazy journey,
looking back at everything, it's so crazy how far i've come.
I'm super proud of myself, and I never knew i'd
have the potential to get this far.
I always underestimate myself,
yet I end up surprising myself with all of my accomplishments!
I cannot wait for what the future holds.
For now i'm going to relax for a bit,
then go job hunting!

I know my Grandfather would be so proud of me right now!!
He's smiling down on me!
My promise to him is fulfilled!!
This was a pretty good workout. It lasted about 30 minutes. I extended my breaks during some short breaks because man, That "RUNNING MAN" move got me winded. Overall it was a pretty darn great workout!
I'm loving this workout program so far!
Here's a clip of the workout.
