Thanks Lady!!! :D!! You are right!! I decide!!!...& I'm slowly getting all settled in and making room for everything!! Yesterday I bought a little baby entertainment center kinda deal and the day before I bought a desk and chair to work on...Now all the bf has to do is put them all together!!! Hopefully TODAY or this weekend he gets around to it!!!....Probably not today, cause it's his birthday..but maybe this weekend!

....I really LOVE my place..and the more I stay there...the MORE I love it!! :D!!

Now all I need are some BAR STOOLS for the kitchen table!!! :D!!!

There is something very empowering about having your own space and being able to tell people to get outta your house! Yay!! Only your mess to clean, everything is where you left it...

I'm sure he is tripping on you having your own space girl. A woman living all alone can be dangerous!! Where you were living before was non threatening for sure, but now.... lol!!

What's going on over there? Knock knock.... herro??? LMAO!

I'll talk to Mel and see when I can pull her away from her Iron Man Training so we can make a trip down to visit.

Are you in LA? What part? Oh I can't wait girl!!!! Haven't been in that area in years. I have a friend I want to visit in Beverly Hills when I come down. He works there.

Well,...I live in what's called VALLEY GLEN. It's literally about 20 mins-25 minutes from Beverly Hills!! ...And without traffic about 12 mins from Hollywood!!! :D!!!

...It is empowerring to have my OWN space & to have bought MYSELF everyyyyything!!! With no one's help!!! I feel fantastic about it!! :D!!! I wonder if you'll be able to get your sis away from her training. At least for the weekend..you guys can stay at least 3 days!!!....I can take off a FRIDAY...and you guys can get here Thurday afternoon or something..and we can go out THURSDAY NIGHT, FRIDAY ALL DAY & NIGHT, SATURDAY (I won't see clients ;) ) , and SUNDAY!!! (before I have to go back to work on Monday) :(

...but that can give us the WHOLE weekend to do tons of stuff...!!! You name it...we can GO!!! :D!!! Let me know by when you guys want to come down!!!...You are always welcome just yourself as well if you can't get Mel away from Ironman anytime soon!!!...Either way...I'd be HAPPY as can be!!!

We can have drinks in Hollywood, go to Venice Beach and see all the people there & drive through the Canyons to get to the water!!! ...We can go exercise down by the beach as well & take you Ladies to the Hollywood sign...and Anywhere else you guys want to go!!....WE can also go to City Walk since it's SUPER close by...that's where Universal Studios is!! :D!!....and Beverly Hills to visit your friend! & Grohman's Chinese theatre where the Koday center is now & to the Santa Monica Pier!!!

Hi Alta. Wee Hoo! Your own place! I would love to see some pics of your space, with some of your step-dads handiwork. It can be a 'work in progress' like all of life is. I never expect or want perfection. It would be fun to just share some of your joy from afar, xoxo Cate.
PS You can buy some spray for the BF! I got some for my dogs to keep them out of my territory in the vegie garden. LOL.

3 days of Consistently working out!!! ;) ...I feel it...I'm ALMOST completely back!!!

"What Have You DONE TODAY to make you FEEL PROUD!!!!?????" :smash: (from the Biggest Loser Show!)

This song keeps Running in my Head! & it's actually MOTIVATING ME!!!.....I'm gonna print it and paste it...and actually give it to my client tonight too!!

....this can help in any arena of anyone's life! ...there are Always Steps to be taken!!

...."Don't be Afraid to Give up the GOOD to go for the GREAT!"

.....Last night, I got on that Treadmill 45 mins @ did Sprint intervals if it was going to kill me!!! I love feeling that adrenaline again! I missed it!!!

I cut out pics of HOT famous women!...Kim and her sis Kardashian and Mariah Carey in bikini's and pasted them ON THE FRIDGE, IN THE BATHROOM on the mirror, IN MY CAR, and ON THE TREADMILL!

...I wrote to myself on them:

"PUT YOUR GAME FACE ON!!! GET IT!!!!!!"
"FIRST BITE TASTES THE SAME AS THE LAST!"
"JUST DO IT!"
"SUMMER 2010!!!"
"WATCH YOURSELF!"
"YOU LIKE THE RESULTS CONTINUE THE ACTIONS!"
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TODAY TO MAKE YOU FEEL PROUD!!?!"
"GRADUATION 2010!!!"
"WORK BITCH!!! NO WAY AROUND IT!"
"FUCK THE PAST! MAKE YOUR FUTURE!!"
"EVERY STEP IS ONE STEP CLOSER!"

...I find that it's working ALREADY!!!....though I did have a late night snack yesterday. I also found out, that my favorite Sparks alcoholic drink has 350 cals per SERVING!! OMG :eek2:!! No more of that on my list!!! I'm sticking to SHOTS only!!! ....and limiting them!!!

....I have a WEDDING in MEXICO in JULY and GRADUATION in SEPT..and my family from South Carolina is coming out to see me then! What a surprise it would be to find me SLIM JIM right?!?! :D!!! :cheers2: RIGHT!!!

...gonna go home on my LUNCH BREAK and WORK FOR IT!!!...CAUSE THIS SHIT DOESN"T COME EASY!!!...I have 40 mins @ home...so I'll do a 20 min Jillian Michael's video w/ 5lb weights-intervals- and 10 mins of Sprint Intervals on treadmill...and SHOWER and back to work, see my Celebrity client at night, along with another client,...and then BACK HOME...to WORK FOR IT SOME MORE!!!

“What would you do if you KNEW you could NEVER FAIL!?”…that’s how you should live your life.


“Does what you are doing RIGHT now, really align with what you want & your goals?!”….if not…than CHANGE IT!


“All it takes is BELIEF!”


“Shift your mentality, and You’ll shift your LIFE!!!”
 
Hey!

So, when's the next race? I bet you want more medals and t-shirts, I mean, that's what it's all about in the end anyways right?

Hey Hey!!!!....What's Up Mike!!!

...You know, it's like you read my mind. I was thinking about this same thought a couple days back. I really like the committment of paying for a race, and YES, ;) :D like you said.....knowing that the metal and the shirt are only days away. I really want to do another Marathon this year. I'm thinking October...or September. If I could coordinate it when my gradparents are here...dammmmn :D that would be nice!!!

My grandpa has ran and raced for the majority of his life...and has TONS of metals and t-shirts ;) ..He does it in like 3:30hrs...:eek: SICK TIME!!!

....I'm thinking about doing this half marathon that is HORRENDOUS hills mid June. Same one I did last year!....It's almost harder than a FULL MARATHON!!...

...That's a challenge.....I think I may have just found my INSPIRATION!!!
 
Thank you for my healing GOD!!!! You DA mAN!!!!!

Went home for lunch. DID THAT SHIT!..did the video with the weights from Jillian Michaels. My legs are NOODLES right now. ...as well as my arms. Did 1 min of 12.0 to 7.5 speed sprints & showered and left. :gnorsi:

I'm doing this EVERYDAY until I look hotter than a MUTHA*#^#*!! ;)! :D!
 
Hi Alta, I'm not sure if I've ever written in your diary but I always stop for a read. LOVE how positive you always are!! And I'm soooooo stealing a few of those motivational phrases!!

Keep up the awesome work :)
 
Thank you so much!!! :D!!! That's really sweet!!! I'm glad you can get something positive out of me!! ;)!!!


...I almost forgot MY MOST IMPORTANT LESSON LEARNED from the Biggest Loser show this past week....that REALLY sunk in for me.....in regards to myself...is ...:


What the scale said this past week is NOT a resemblence of how hard we worked or WHO you are!! ..or the things that have SHAPED you!!!....it is what it is. You KEEP fighting until it does say what you want it to say....MIND YOU....the amount of work put in, is not always what you get on the scale. IT DOESN'T mean shitttttt. You are more than that. NEVER LOSE FOCUS! KEEP GOIIIIIIIING~!!!!!! Warriors aren't made overnight. KEEP FIGHTING FOR IT!!....I tell myself "When the pain sets in, that's when CHANGE is on the forefront!! .....PUSH THROUGH IT!!":driving:
 
Day 4 of consistency DONE!!!!....let's keep it going ALTA!!! :)

Alright!!! Just got off the treadmill and did 20 mins. of Sprint Runs on the treadmill mixed in with walking...and two sets of squats and 5lb weights inbetween. WWWOOOOOP WOOOOP!!!

Sore as HELLLLLL....I woke up at 6am!! yay!!....Buttttttt since I went to bed at 3am....I decided to take my sore but to bed for one more hour, and it turned into 2 hours, so no morning walk or sprint, or jog..NADA!! OMG!!!...I was late to work...gonna go home on LUNCH break and WORK FOR IT!!!
 
Decision has SET IT!!! It's DONE!...I found my Half Marathon with HUGE hills...June 13th..and I found a FULL Marathon OCT 3....when my grandparents will still be here!!! OMG!!! How exciting...!!!! That makes me so proud just to know that they will be here!!!

Can you imagine how PROUD they will be of me!!!....My Graduation, My Own Place, My Own Hypnotherapy practice, and a my own FULL Marathon #2 to witness me at!!! I think this would make them the HAPPIEST in the world to be able to see all that in ONE trip!!! & me too!!!
