Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

Alta, I KNEW GREAT THINGS were coming YOUR WAY!!! I can only imagine what you are like face to face. I can guess, stealing some words from others, inspirational, uplifting, full of life, etc. etc. :Angel_anim:
If I'm ever in LA again, would you mind taking me around for a few hours? These places you keep mentioning sound pretty sweet.

Great to have you back. Hopefully that stripper pole will shed those last few pounds.
Stripper pole. LOL :biggrinjester:
 
Alta, I am so amazed by how well things are going for you. A real indication that there is KARMA in the world - you give out so much to so many other people - Eycky is right, your enthusiasm is so contagious that I can't help smiling whenever I read your posts - and its so fantastic to hear that everything is slotting into place for you in so many different ways. You are very lucky to have the kind of connection with people that makes them want to help you get along and include you in their practice. I'm sure you will be an asset to their clients and business as well without a doubt!

As for the pole dancing W0W!! Get that MOJO RATTLIN'!!!!! No wonder the BF is encouraging you!!

I wish I could barter my services too but as I am not self employed, my firm restricts what I can do outside of my job (as my advice reflects on them!!) which is a shame because without fail everyone needs tax advice at some point!! It sounds like a very useful way of getting access to stuff that is great to have (like training sessions) but we don't all have the spare cash to justify paying for on a regular basis.

Anyhows keep going!! Sounds like you are going to be too busy to do much more!!!
 
Hey Alta! I know your on my fb, but I thought I'd drop you a line here!. Thinking of starting a new thread for my new weight loss journey. Shit it's been sooooo long!!
Sooo happy for your passion of life. It's great to see that you are really feeling good about yourselff even though you are not at your goal weight! Love ya lots! Amanda
 
Alta!!! Great to hear things are going sooooo well for you. Infact, your happiness isnt only contagious....its viral!!! It spreads beyond these pages to the people that every one of us meet too!

I am sooo happy for you! Young, confident, smart, (pretty cute too)...I could go on and on.....

All the best girl !!!!
 
Hello my gorgeous, stunning friend. I'm so sorry I haven't visited your diary in ages, I kind of got whisked away by aliens to another planet, the name of which I unfortunately can't remember (but I do remember it was filled with chocolate). Luckily, they let me come back after the experiments were concluded, 20 lbs heavier and strangely lightheaded.

So I've been reading through your diary like crazy trying to catch up on your shit and I must say, You Blow Me Out of The Muddy Water! As in, hook up that rocket and light the fuse, ignite the engines and blast away into the Stratosphere kind of blowing. I can't believe there are people in the world with such strength and amazing minds as yours! The shit you've been through, and you still come out of it stronger than ever; reminds me of the Shawshank Redemption, the power of eternal HOPE! Yay for you!!! I don't so much read your words as drink them in thirstily cos you are so inspirational! You know what? We have been on similar paths! You left your job after 3 years, same as me! I also am contemplating going it alone under my own steam, except in a different field to yours (just wrote my first short story and thinking of publishing it - only thing I've ever been good at!).

The other thing I wanted to say is I saw the Youtube of your presentation with that nice guy with the smooth voice who put those gadgets on that chick (his voice nearly put me to sleep; do you have his number?) and you are so beautiful and young! How old are you? You look like you could model and your face is so exotic, like you are a real combo of different nationalities or something. I LOVE your eyes! VERY hypnotic!!! You will make a GREAT hypnostar! (The Hypster! hehe). Also, I don't know why, but you SO remind me of my favourite celeb of all time, SELENA QUINTANILLA PEREZ!! The most beautiful singer to ever walk this earth! I get similar vibes off you so I know you're someone very special who has the ability to inspire and influence millions! I'm really sad that I don't live in America! ;) It would be so awesome to rollerblade together and hang out down by Malibu, a place I only get to see on episodes of 2.5 Men!!! HA!

Well, enough prattling from me. You're a busy girl, you got shit to do. I'm off to bed and dreaming of the better person I can become with your lovely inspiring voice in my head. Take care you hot pole-rocker you!! :)
 
:grouphug: Awwww My dear Friends!!! I love you GUYS!!!

I love that you come and see me!! xoxo Thank you!!!

I have found MY MOJO BACK!!! :party:! I am on DAY 3 of p90x and LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!( The consistency of it, the letting him handle the 90 days, the fact every move is different, the strength!)"

I've been having some great epiphanies about my direction in life as well as MY CALLING and MY JOURNEY and ...what to make of it all!? :cheers2: I have realized that this is the one great thing that I can do FOR MYSELF, and really, the ONE THING I think will propel my level of Success in my business, personal life, spiritual life, emotional being, and thus forth! ....BASICALLY...It's the gift that I didn't ever think I was WORTH RECEIVING!? ....Why?! .....I realize now, that I am worth it! ......I have opened my ARMS to the SKY ABOVE and am now allowing the Kindom of Greatness to RAIN on me!

...My efforts are becoming EASIER by the day! I love how I feel, I love that I am aligning the one thing in my life that I feel is the KEY TO MY SUCCESS! Not about how I will look (though I can use myself to market myself like CRAZY and possibly make a KILLING with the AMAZING BODY I WILL HAVE!), but mainly because I WILL SHOW MYSELF "WHO I AM, AND WHAT I'M MADE OF!"

It's been 8 days since I let go of my drinking HABIT! I am so PROUD of myself. In the past 8 days, I only had ONE temptation yesterday for about 5 mins, and I combatted it with a PERRIER water...:beating: love the bubbles! ....My goals are IMPORTANT! My life is IMPORTANT!...Being an EXAMPLE TO MYSELF is important! :hurray:

I'm giving myself that! I am working hard for it, and am willing to "JUST DO" what it takes to SUCCEED, because I am watering the seeds of my OWN greatness! All it takes is CONSISTENCY. That's my middle name! One hour daily to acheive EVERYTHING I ever wanted? Does that sound like a lot to ask for in exchange?! FUCK NO!

...There are only TWO ROADS...the one in which leads to YOUR DREAMS, GOALS, AMBITIONS....or the OTHER ROAD ..the one that makes you GIVE UP on your dreams and takes you further and further away.

Do or do not. There is no TRY!

Hi, Lots of support there! I'd also like to add some things too; Do not forget these tips!
1. Have at least 2 to 3 serving of fruits and vegetables a day
2. Avoid eating processed foods and drinks
3.Drink more water (8 to 10 glasses a day)

That should sought you out, if you do it consistently.
Good luck in reaching your 125lb goal, and by the way what will you do next once you reach there? ...beats me buh ol the best!

Hi Curtis!! Thank you!!

Once I get there...will I will estimate about 8 months of HARD CORENESS...I will then shift back my attention to running! :D! Maybe Triathalons...:)
 
DAY 5 of p90x (and dancing in the bathroom LOL)! It's amazing how much better about oneself a person can feel when we just DO the things that will lead to our success. It's just that simple in the mind. Happiness is attained in the DOING, ...the results definitely push us to continue, but ultimately, somewhere deep down inside of us....we realize that "Yes! This can possibly happen! Just keep pushing!"

Overcoming that FEAR to push harder is ultimately what is going to give us that SUCCESS!! Yesterday, I had a little epiphany as I was cleaning the carpet here in my place. I realized 1) the carpet needs major scrubbing 2) Eoow I didn't want to scrub hard, 3) the harder I scrubbed who knows what I was going to find...

...So at that moment, I realized...."Alta! It's about being the BEST at EVERYTHING you do. Scrubbing through the worst to find the BEST! Pushing the hardest NO MATTER what you will find. Facing whatever it is, and moving through it! (Exercise and fat included!)" You see...it's the fear of what may ultimately be beneath that prevents from pushing harder, stronger, and faster, and more frequent. ......What I realized....was that "There is NOTHING to fear, because YES, you will find grime and dirt, and it will be an effort to get through, but once you do....YOU CAN HAVE CLEAN CARPET (meaning a CLEAN BODY, HEALTHY BODY). ....And that's exactly what happened. The carpet was clean, and the results were well worth the fight to push through the ugly." (Not to mention with deep breaths and awareness, I was able to tighten my arms while doing so and did some DANIELSON work and WAX ON, WAX OFFed the fat off my arms and the stains off the carpet!)

The same goes for the FIGHT OF THE BULGE!.....It is tough to face the issues immediately that deviate us, but once we do....we realize that MOMENT BY MOMENT ...we can CONQUER and move PAST THEM..towards the AWAKENING OF OUR FUTURE!! :D!

...Interesting little carpet I have here. ;)! hahah! :D!

Day 5 of p90x and Day 9 of no drinking! Day 6 of cutting out unhealthy foods. As far as alcohol, the desire has ceased. gone. finito. bye bye. Probably because I am doing self hypnosis tapes everyday. Sometimes morning and night. I constantly get in contact with MY "WHY"...my reason for doing something. I am human. I change daily, as you do too. Do yourself the favor of getting to know yourself daily. Have you changed something in your thinking today? What is it that you want? Why? What will it do to you if you never accomplish this one thing? Which road is it that you want to go down? There are only two. One closer to our dreams, one further. It's our choice.

I have a dream...that ONE DAY, I will be able to make little 7 min. downloadable SELF HYPNOSIS links for people to download on a daily basis WORLDWIDE ..so that we can ALL ACHEIVE OUR SIMILAR GOALS day by day, and change our STUBBORN subconscious minds that hold most of our power and hold us back!! I SAY FUCK THAT!!!! We can do this!!!! FIGHT FOR IT!

I pushed harder than a mutha*Fuc#ER today on Day 5 p90x. :D! It was 58 mins today with Yoga, Karate/Tae Kwon Do/Boxing!
I plan to do to do 2 rounds of p90x (90 days +90 days + 60 days Insanity)
I already took my before shots too! :D!

I'm sending you some positive wave lengths so you can stick with the P90X program and not miss a single day! People who have the guts to see that program through to the end are shedding some serious fat! A couple that my wife and I are friends with did that and they look awesome! You can do it girl!
 
Thank you Derrick!! :grouphug:! I can honestly say that I haven't felt this STRONG mentally, spiritually, and physically, in about 6 years!! I'm ready! I wish the same to myself. That's inspiring that you know some p90x people who have changed! I can't wait! :)
 
The earth turns on its orbit for you. The oceans ebb and flow for you. The birds sing for you. The sun rises and it sets for you. The stars come out for you. Every beautiful thing you see, every wondrous thing you experience, is all there, for you. Take a look around. None of it can exist, without you. No matter who you thought you were, now you know the Truth of Who You Really Are. You are the master of the Universe. You are the heir to the kingdom. You are the perfection of Life. And now you know The Secret. May the joy be with you.

Great post. I'm a bit lacking in positivity lately and that post is so true and brought a smile to my face :D
 
This is what P90x is...above link. It's not as gruesome as it looks AT ALL! really! ;)







These are some YOUTUBE links that inspired me to try it! :D! Enjoy!

Do it with me!
 
Consistency!!!!

Day 6 of p90x DONE! Did 10 mins of Hypno Yoga before too! Yesterday I did about 1 hour of Hypno yoga too!
I'm starting to see less chub on the back and the arms and abs are feeling tighter! The pounds are still moving up and down on the scale..still around 164-167 lbs. BUT I'm changing...my endurance and all! I'm starting to feel motivitaved to start running again in combo! Really determined! :D! The eating is CLEAN as well! They go hand in hand for me! :)
 
You only have to tip the balance of your thoughts and feelings to positive to dramatically transform your life. You do not have to make every thought and word positive. As you tip the balance to positive, law of attraction is right there helping you, because like thoughts attract like thoughts. When you are having good thoughts you are on the frequency of attracting more good thoughts. Of course when you are having bad thoughts you will attract more bad thoughts, so at those times it is important to distract yourself and think of something that makes you feel good.
 
2 weeks no alcohol today, and day 8 completed of p90x!

Today was HARD, I didn't want to do it, I felt LAZY, and I wanted to sabotage myself really bad!!!....BUTTTT...I DID IT! p90x 1 hr day 8 & Hypno yoga consistency done! Today was yoga/weights/squats/weird military floor moves/rolling/jumping/sweating! (yesterday I got lucky and as I didn't want to do it, AGAIN, ..waited til late at night, which is a BAD idea...mornings are best....it was pure stretching for an hour.) The workouts are always about 1 hour min..if not 1 hour 15-20.

I was noticing myself feeling LAZY,...and it was already 11:30pm and I didn't want to do it. I talked myself into a later time slot every hour and I was watching Dancing with the Stars as I did my hair, since I died it Amber Red with Black Chunk highlights all over. (barter):D Looks nice! Even though I graduated end of May ..ceremony is Friday, so should be fun! I have 10 guests coming and we are all sitting for dinner together at this fancy place where the ceremony is. BUT yes, back to p90x. I told myself, that "Alta! Do this. Do this."

I then listened to a 10 min Self Hypnosis download I made for myself in respects to CONSISTENCY and working out daily, and after I finished listening to it, I realized "Start with the possible, soon you'll be doing the impossible. All you have to do is PUSH PLAY! Push through it!!! Change is around the NEAREST corner!"...though I do see my abs getting smaller, and my ass moving higher and my love handles melting.!"

So,I did that. Push play, I mean. Before I did that though, I drove to the liquor store and got chocolate covered almonds and ate the serving size it said, and put the other half in the freezer. After my workout was done, I felt bad, and wanted to still eat them, yet instead tossed the other half in the toilet and FLUSHED them ...after my workout. I didn't want to do that either. But I did. My bf called me, and I told him I needed..CHOCOLATE AA at the moment...haha...and it worked. He listened, and I flushed. :D! I would have felt like SHIT, if I ate the 440 cals of chocolate, which I was very on my way to doing. I haven't eaten chocolate in almost 2 weeks. I also haven't drank alcohol in 2 weeks today! I cut out carbs, eat fruits and veggies, ..no processed..and cut portions the past p90x days as well. That's actually what got me to listen to the self hypnosis recording at that time as well, was because I was already feeling like shit, for THINKING of sabotaging myself to SLEEP instead of workout!?!? WHAT?! Sleep?! ...what a LAME excuse! (Sleep when you DIE, bitch! Work NOW!) hahaha! ;) Thank GOD, I made it through today though! Tomorrow will be easier.The scale went lower today, but tomorrow is weigh in day. We'll see what happens. Gonna work double for the chocolate tomorrow. Luckily they were alomonds inside. Feel good that I stayed within portion limit! Moderation.
